Bus, Truck Lag
May Bring
Directives
BY SILER FREEMAN

Production of heavy trucks Is
40 per cent off so far in July, ii
was revealed by the War Pro-
duction Board. Both buses and
trucks are far behind schedule
for the first half of the year and
their production may be the
subject of special directive
treatment in procurement OF
components which should make
up for the lag, WPB officials
stated.
Manufacturers of integr al
buses expect 10 meet their
schedules for the second half,
the bus manufacturers advisory
committee told WPB this week.
Integral buses are those built
with chassis and body as one
unit, in e d of the body on
chassis type.
Manufacturers predicted the
output of 1,500 integral buses
during 1945. The program APP
proved by WPB for Gus
claimant agencies provides for
1882. This may have to be cut
back on a quota basis, depend
ing on war developments.
The possibility of simplified
equipment for buses was dis
cussed by the manufacturers but
no decision made. A committee
was suggested by WPB TO study
qualification.

Carelessness Paid

Proctor and Gamble. in AZ
page booklet which il got out
10 mark its 10th year in bust
ness. tells how its famous float
ing Ivory soap was discovered
by accident.
About 10 years after the Civil
War, a careless workman per-
mitted the mixing device. used
10 stir the liquid soap, 10 run
during his lunch hour. This in
troduced thousands OF minute
air bubbles into the mixture and
the resulting bars of soap
f1oated
Immediate popularity Of the
product was attributed 10 the
lack Of filtration plants in the
river towns along the Ohio. For
long periods Of the year, the
water was hrackish and a tawny
brown. When a bar Of soap
dropped in the water, II sank
from sight. Floating soap solved
the problem.
