Open Until 8:30 P.M. Chungking Has Only 33 Buses To Handle Million Popnlalioi Chungking (U.PJ Anyone who ever has ridden in a Chungking bus would not find the New York subways too crowded even in rush hours. Chungking has only 33 busses for a population of almost a mil lion persons and since the city is big geographically as well as in population, the transport problem is a serious one. It is not unusual for a businessman to walk several miles to keep an appointment because it's often a matter of walk or not get there. The theoretical capacity of the busses with the aisles crowded with standing passengers is 48. But usually there are at least 55 persons in a bus and frequently more. By American standards they are small busses. . Policemen are stationed at each bus stop to keep the wait ing crowds in order and to keep them from bursting the busses at the seams when they rush to get in. There are two conductors in each bus, for one could not possibly make his way through the packed aisle to collect the fares. Some of the buses are very old ones of German make and others are built on Ford truck bodies of more recent vintage. Some burn alcohol and some an ersatz gasoline, as there is no real gasoline in Chungking. Breakdowns are tragic, for spar? parts have to be brought In by plane from India and plane pri crities, in view of military needs, are hard to obtain. There are two main bus lines, each about six miles long. The fare is 15 dollars in Chinese cur rency on the express busses and 88 dollars on the locals. Even the locals do not make many stops so bus trips are fast even if uncomfortable.

SKILLED "GROUND CREWS" HELP MAKE GREAT NORTHERN SERVICE DEPENDABLE Railways always have had "ground crews," thousands of men (and women, these days) who perform the vitally essential tasks which keep trains rolling. Movement of the Great Northern's Empire Builder re quires co-ordinated action by yardmen, car inspectors and service men, engine handlers, train dispatchers, water and fuel servicers, clerks, telegraphers, telephone operators and signal men a mighty important "ground crew." Although not actually involved in train operation, there also are the maintenance-of-way crews who keep in shape Great Northern's tracks, signal systems and bridges. And, we're not forgetting the shopmen, who also are work ing around the clock repairing and rebuilding locomotives, cars, and other equipment. Skilled "ground crews" are among the many things which make Great Northern great and a dependable transportation system. .
