Answer: The causes Of gout are
somewhat obscure, but the gen.
eral impression among scientific
students Of the disease is the same
as the movie version: that it
comes from high living. 1t is due
to the accumulation of uric acid
in the blood. which gets there
from rich foods and wines.

Meetings 10 Discuss
Cuts in Montgomery
School Bus Trips
Rearrunging of Routes
And Elimination of
Some Service Sought

Conferences on ways to eliminate
unnecessary mileage of school buses
will be held in Montgomery County
this week, Dr. Edwin w Browne,
county superintendent of schools,
said today, Members of school fac
ultieS and representatives of par
ent-teacheT aSsocia tons will meet
with DR.. Broome to find ways to
cut mileage as ordered by Defense
Transportation Director Joseph B.
Eastman.
At these discussions. a compre-
hensive study of school transport
tation will be made.
Some of the changes sought by
the Office of Defense TranSporta-
ton are Encouragement of bus
routes to carry the maximum num-
Der of pupils with a minimum of
mileage, elimination of side trips
and mileage without passengers
Stationing of buses overnight where
the first pupils board them in the
morning and parking the buses
close to the schools during school
hours also are sought.
Transportation only for those stu
dents, teachers and other employees
who would have to walk more than
two miles 10 school or more than a
mile and a half to school bus trunk
routes also is being considered. Elk
Ceptions may be made for those
within two miles residing along
roads over which buses must pass,
and for the physically handicapped
or those who would be subjected to
extreme danger or serious physical
hardships
1t is planned to place school bus
stops for children so there is at least
one-eighth of mile, and preferably
one-four of a mile, between stops.
Pupils also may be required to use
available common carriers where
it would permit reduction in the
number of school buses or bus miles.
DR.. Broome said mileage and gas
ollne allowances certified after Feb
ruary l will depend on data pre-
scented by school authorities.
There will be meetings this week
at Leland Junior High, Damascus,
