important to take medicines exact

that you may be taking your life

Another very real source of
danger is the inclination of many

School Bus Conservation

School Bus Conservation
Joseph 2. Eastman, Director Of
the Office of Defense Transporta-
ton. has warned that school at
tendance next fall by many chill
dren in rural areas depends large
ly upon how we'll school bus driv-
ers observe gasoline and rubber
conservation policies.
Although realizing the difficult
ties confronted by many drivers.
Mr.. Eastman pointed out that
wherever possible buses should be
stationed overnight near the start
ing point of the school route and
should be parked close to the
school during school hours. The
driver should use a passenger au-
tOmObile in going to and from his
bus. Victory tires for automobiles
use an insignificant amount of
crude rubber. while bus tires must
have about sixty per cent crude.
"Criticism by drivers who resent
changes is disturbing" said Mr.,
Eastman. "but we must be more
concerned about children who will
be absent from school if drivers
continue driving unessential miles"

Tin Shortage Hits Food

WASHlNGIu-l, Sept. "A. -(P)-I
Tin is so scarce, the Agriculture
Department said today, that If the
war lasts another year or two, ci-
william supplies of canned fruits
and vegetables may have to De
cut sharply below present ration
ed levels.
1t would be possible, it said, %
maintain consumption of canned
foods at the present level for
perhaps fol more years of war.
But it added that it would not be
desirable to permit tin stockpiles
to decline to zero so long as no
one can be sure just when victory
over Japan will come.
Perhaps two years after the end
of the war will be needed for

Summing up, the department
said:
Because canned fruits and vege-
tables are an important part Ct
the American diet, greater effort
on the part of government and
industry is needed to find alterna-
tive methods of preserving fruits
and vegetables.
Greater use of fresh products
would be of limited effectiveness
because of uneveress of production
seasons, shortage of refrigerator
cars, and because some products
now gro for canning are insult
ed for shipment
Increased use of glass containers
would be limited by glass produc-
ton facilities, a shortage of mate
rails for closures, and the diff
Guilty of converting canning equip

BY GAYNOR MADDOX

Keep the basic makings Of sand

and other spreads with additional
ingredients your sandwich shop
gets into full swing.
