Two Hurl When Truck

of the Hubbard zoo, had crashed
Into the side of a locomotive, at the
Wallace road Intersection with the
Southern Pacific last night, Tlche
nor and Robert Plckrell, 21, also a
zoo employe, were taken to Salem
Deamoness hospital.
It was feared Plckrell might have
Internal injuries. Both men
ceived general body bruises.
The locomotive was moving slowly
when the crash occurred. Train
men were unable to move It after
the crash because the impact had
damaged the drive gear. The en
gine was pulling a train. Witnesses
said the truck appeared to slow
down until the locomotive was al
most clear of the crossing and then
to have speeded up again. The
truck was approaching from the
H south.
The two-way radio that had been
Installed earlier in the day by the
West Salem police car was used to

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.

"Just the two girls and myself at

"but I wouldn't, for anything, have
it any other way."
With pride, again, Alfred read a
Bremerton Naval hospital message

What Becomes
Of Minted Coins?
Philadelphia, Nov. 21 ffl The
mint has a mystery.
Superintendent Edwin H. 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

Conscientious objectors who are

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

triotically to the government's call

denomination stamps.

EXPERT ADVICE
IS ESSENTIAL
Br J. H. 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.

FOR DEFENSE I
THE needs of the defense pro -gram
dictate, as in good sense
they should, how many Buicks we
can build for you in 1942,
The requirements of national se
curity determine what materials can
be used, and which ones must be
conserved for our country's defense.
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.

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.
And what is more important in any
