Pictures of Events Flashed to Readers Readers of the Capital Journal see pictures of history- making events only a few hours after they occur because the Capital Journal receives AP Telemats, world's fastest newsphoto mats. Telemats are made directly from wlrephotos re ceived in San Francisco, and they are rushed by fastest transporta tion to the Capital Journal. Only eight minutes are required to send a picture over the 20,000 mile wirephoto network, the only one of its kind in existence. Day and night, there's a continuing flow of wlrephotos, pictures of important news from all over the world. The best are selected for Telemats and the Capital Journal. Take, for example, a picture of a building bombed in London. The photograph Is transmitted by radio or cable to AP's New York office. In New York, it's rushed onto the network and eight minutes later wirephoto newspapers throughout the country have It. In San Francisco, a zlno etching Is produced from this picture. From the etching, a mat Is rolled under a machine on which the tremen dous pressure has left ati Impres sion of the etching. When the mat reaches the Cap ital Journal, It goes into a casting machine into which stereotypers pour molten metal. After the metal hardens, there is produced another metal plate corresponding to the original zinc etching. From this plate, the Capital Journal prints the picture of the bombed build ing. Telemat service Is on a split-sec ond basis, so readers of the Capital Journal can see the latest and the best pictures available anywhere. To maintain this service, AP has pho tographers and photo editors scat tered throughout the United States and strategic places abroad. No matter where or when a story breaks, there's a photographer on the job to bring pictures to the Associated Press and the Capital Journal.

Dressell wants to know what happens to all the half-dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies produced by the world's largest coin factory. The bulk of them never turn up for resmelting. "For example," he said today, "In the year ending July 1941 we sent out $33,000,000 worth of subsliver (halves, quarters and dimes) and $71,000,000 worth of the minor coins (nickels and pennies). "Do you know what we had re turned? $3,000,000 worth of the subsliver and $225,000 worth of the minor." It may be, said Dressell, that peo ple who "are now earning good sal aries are carrying more coins around with them." Another answer, he went on, could be the more widespread use of vending and slot machines, for operators of the devices have to keep sizeable amounts for change-making. Then, too, "thousands of the smaller coins are lost every year and never found." During Dressell's six year tenure. the mint has produced 4,305,000.000 coins, or 32.6 per cent of the plants total output since It was established 149 years ago. He said that an Increasingly pros perous period Is the major reason for the growing demand for coins, and that mint alterations now are going on which will almost double Its present capacity of nearly five million coins a day. No Job Guaraniees For Objectors Conscientious objectors who are sent to federal work camps will re ceive no guarantees that they will get their civilian jobs back when the defense emergency is over, Lieu tenant Coloney Elmer V. Wooton. state selective service director, said today. However, those Inducted for non combatant service In the armed forces will receive benefits of the civilian reemployment provisions of the selective service act, he said. Defense Bonds Sold Scio U. S. defense stamps and bonds are selling well here, accord ing to E. Phillips, Scio postmaster. Local patrons have responded pa triotically to the government's call for defense funds, Phillips said In commenting on the number of chil dren as well as adults who are saving through purchase of small denomination stamps. Benes Going to Arizona Scio Anton Benes and family plan soon to leave for Arizona to spend the winter for Benes' health. The family has made the trip an nually to the Phoenix section for a number of years. The little girt attends school there. TI1E JEWEL BOX Credit Jeweler. 149 STATE ST.

Wlllett or th Capital Drue Store If you are considering the pur chase of an advertised medicine, suggested by a friend or by an advertisement, ask your druggist if he can conscientiously recom mend It, then proceed as ad vised. The probabilities are that he will advise nothing unless you first see your physician. The more serious your malady and no deviation from positive health Is anything but serious the less likely Is the druggist to advise self -medication. How many pelple have ag gravated a slight difficulty by taking something, perhaps harm less in Itself, perhaps even help ful if correctly used, but not applicable to the constitution and needs of the patient. Every case is a problem in it self, a problem to be treated only by a practicing phvslclan. And he will be sufficiently con cerned regarding results of his prescription to recommend a druggist to fill It. Thin It the 1SIil of ft itriei of Edi tor.!

But and this is spur and hope to men of ingenuity there is no limit in any of that on how well we may build with the materials at our command. So we invite you to look upon this car not as you would any ordinary new model, but as an unusual vehicle built to square with unusual times. Check into the strength we have forged and hammered'and wrought into the frame, the chassis, the drive. Look into the everlasting softness which creative discontent with"good tAvailable at (light extra cost on Buiclt Speciai, models, standard on ill other Scries. enough" has provided in soft, all-coil springs. Dig into the engine, and see how resourceful en gineering has stepped up the efficiency of valve-in-head design with Domite pistons and FIREBALL compression how it also enables you to con serve fuel while actually getting more power through liuick's ex clusive Compound Carburetion.f You may have little interest nor mally in things like connecting rods and main bearings and wheel rims. But it is of utmost importance now that Buiek knew how to strengthen rods for heavier duties without in creasing weight that Buick found a way to oil-finish crankshaft journals so as to double bearing life under equal loads that every Buick wheel has a rim that not only provides a steadier and smoother ride but actually insures top tire mileage.

Little of this special rug gedness shows in the suave outward lookof this trim and steady-rolling Buick the beauty you see there is merely the garnish on the solid substance beneath. But examine such structural details and we believe you'll quickly dis cover one fact: While there may be a shortage of cars and of materials from which to make them, there's no shortage in stamina in the cars Buick builds.
