Greyhound Will
Adopt Wartime
Schedule Mon.
Re-Arrangement Of Service
To Be Made. Effect Here
Not known Yet

Beginning Monday, June 18th,
all buses operating on Atlantic
Greyhound Lines will be. run
ming on new wartime schedules,
according to an announcement
made by H. P. Brawner, Allan
tic Greyhound Traffic manager,
and the local bus station. A COM
plete Encouragement of services
is being made at this time to CO.
operate fully with the wartime
program of the Office of Defense
Transportation. No announce
ment has been made as to the eff
feet the change will have on bus
schedules here.
The important thing in times
like these is that every bus should
work full-time and that vital ma
terials needed for the war effort
should be saved in every posi-
BILE way. To give Americas war
program the right-of-way, it has
been found necessary to limit
service where there is the least
demand for it and to divert e.
quipment to routes where it is
most needed.
In making the announcement of
the new changes, Mr.. Brawner
stressed the fact that many peace
time features of bus travel are
of necessity being discontinued.
For one thing, operating speeds
are somewhat reduced, and ex-
press and limited schedules are
eliminated entirely. Second Sec
tions of regular. schedules will not
be operated unless there are a
sufficient number of passengers
to justify it.
With tire and gasoline rationing
so much in the limelight today,
Mr.. BraWner stressed the fact
that buses are aiding conservation
greatly since they use only a frac-
ton as much rubber and gasoline
per passenger, per mile.
He also expressed the hope that
all passengers would remember
that wartime travel is not travel
as usual" and that they would
make allowances if they were in
any way Inconvenience, or
crowded, or delayed. =.

Timely Hints
For HOnenlakers
BY Ruth Current
State Home Demonstration
Agent
N. C.. State College

Rayon hosiery can be expected
to give good wearing results. The
extraordinary long wear of nylon
hosiery cannot yet be expected,
but when a comparison is made
with sheer silk hosiery, the con-
sumner will probably be pleasant
ly surprised.
Reasonable care in handling
and washing rayon hose is, of
course, important. Treat them as
you did your fine silk hosiery but
have several pairs and wear on
alternate days to allow sufficient
time for thorough drying. Re-
member that rayon stockings are
weaker when wet and their full
strength is not regained until
completely dry. If you roll or
head them in a turkish towel
(for a few minutes only) it will
make them dry more quickly and
evenly. When you take them
from the towel, shape them gent
ly and place double over rod
or line.
