Furlough days are far too precious to be spent

¡War Probability
Air Bus Service, a nation-wide
helicopter passenger transportation
system, became a postwar possibility
last week when an application for
this type of airline was filed with
the Civil - Aeronautics Board by the
, Greyhound Corporation, largest oper­
ators of highway buses.
The application states that the
'Greyhound Lines propose to operate
helicopters or similar aircraft of
large carrying capacity to provide
passenger, malj and express service
over their present bus routes which
cover some 60,000 miles of highway.
Plans will be developed to coordinate
and integrate thia new air service
with bus lines and, in addition, to
act as a “feeder” to companies en­
gaged in the present type of airline
service.
The most novel feature of the pro­
ject and one for which helicopters
are Ideally fitted is the plan to adapt
present bus terminals, bus garages
and other facilities close to centra)
sections of cities and towns as land­
ing ports and maintenance hangars.
The Helicopter, a revolutionary de­
velopment in air safety and ease of
control, is now undergoing exhaustive
»-tests In specialized military and
naval service.
Its adaptability to
commercial uses will necessarily be a
matter of development by the opera­
tors in collaboration with the aircraft
manufacturers, a parallel procedure
to the manner in which the modern
highway bus'reached its present stage
of perfection.
“We have been making plans for
some time to enter the air transpor­
tation field as a means of providing '
additional service,” said C. E. Wick­
man, Greyhound president.
“Our
| studies have shown a definite need on
: the part of the nation for the type
of air transportation we propose to
operate. We know that people along
bus routes—and there are over 70,-
000,000 of them residing in smaller
cities and towns not served by exist­
ing airlines—want the services of air
transportation.
“If our application is approved by
Tfo makealrtfa'VM avairble to the mu­
llions who live scores or hundreds of
miles from the large airports that pre­
sent air-liners must use. With heli­
copters, air travel will be no further
'away than the nearest bus terminals
-rarely more than a few minutes'
ride by private car or local transpor­
tation service.

Farm manpower is scarce. Every hour
of every farmer’s time is vital to victory.
Let’s help conserve it.
Don’t keep any farmer waiting
Owners of stores, operators of markets,
warehouses, elevators, terminals and
processing plants, can aid substantially
in the success of the “Food for Victory”
program by expediting the loading and

Every farmer is an essential home
