State’s Highways Praised In Greyhound Ads The current advertisement of the Greyhound Lines—one in a series which is featuring the various institutions and war-time acitvitles of our State—gives some pertinent and interesting facts about our highways. “We think that many citizens 'ake our extensive highway sys tem for granted—without ever stopping to realize how lost they’d be without it,” said Mr. H. Pierce Brawner, Traffic Manager of the Atlantic Greyhound Lines, in dis cussing this particular advertise ment. Every resident of this State should know more about the highways, how they’re built, paid for, maintained and many other vital facts—and should give proper credit to the various boards and commissions responsi ble for their construction and use.” Mr. Brawner reports that the newspapers of the State are next in line for discussion in this .series.

Chevrolet- Half-a-million Training Hours Detroit, Mich., July, 12.—Enlist ed men of the Army Air Force have received more than half-a- million hours of intensive train ing at the Chevrolet Pratt & Whitney Aviation Engine school in Detroit during the eight months it has been in operation, according to Ed Hedner, national director, of war products train ing, Chevrolet Motor Division of General Motors. To date a total of 2317 men have been graduated from the school. Certificates of graduation are presented each week to a class of 75, and a new class of equal size enters the school. Students are selected from Army Air Force personnel having previously com pleted five months of a basic aviation mechanics’ course. To provide the large number of hours of training for Air Force ground crews, more than 60,000 square feet of floor space is required in which to hold the many classes that must be in session simultaneously, and to provide the necessary space for the parts, tools and equipment used in studying the engines and in actual shop practice procedure. The school is manned by a staff of 65 carefully selected instructors who have been thoroughly trained at the Pratt & Whitney factory in Hartford, Conn., and the Chev rolet P&W production plant at Tonawanda, N. Y. The staff is sufficiently large to provide one instructor for each five students. The course of instruction is of four weeks duration.

"Pulpwood is of paramount im portance to our War Production Program as the raw materials for ammunition containers, food con tainers, rayon, smokeless powder and print paper. / "Pulpwood production is cur rently decreasing. The inventories of pulpwood in the hands of paper mills are falling at an alarming rate. "The solution to this problem rests With those on the farms and in the woods of our pulpwood pro ducing areas. "Three extra days spent in cutting pulpwood by these men will reverse the situation and will enable us to produce ample wood pulp for the 1943 War Program.

Buses Get Good Mileage On Tires And Fuel Rabon-Gap Nacoochee Junior College Offers Courses in Secretarial Science Home Economics Teacher Training Agriculture For WORK SCHOLARSHIPS covering entire expense write now Address: Registrar, Rabun Gap, Ga. Although buses carry more than half of the passengers using any form of intercity public transpor tation, the highway motor coaches require only six per cent of the crude rubber and 2 1 - n per cent of the motor fuel con sumed by all commercial vehicles. These facts were disclosed bv the National Association of Motoi 4 Bus Operators in a comprehen sive study of wartime transporta tion problems confronting the in dustry. In traveling 1,115,COO miles to transport 692 million passenger? last year, the 21,480 buses in in tercity service used 165.000 t.ir Q<? each weighing approximately 50 pounds. This is a total of 4,120 tom or less than one-sixteenth of all the rubber allotted to trucks, taxi' and city buses. As pioneers in rubber conser a- tion, members of the bus organi zation report they ordinarily av erage better than 40,000 mile' ->r tire, with many tires giving 'M,- 000 miles of wear. Even ’ ’ '’n discarded for safety reasons 'he bus tire still has enough rer' i- able rubber to make several ^is- senger car tires. The consumption of ga^ inc and diesel motor fuel was r en less in comparison. The t^ 'ical bus, which carried 19 passe ""ers for every mile of operation, av eraged six miles to the gallon, a figure not far below the average of some of the larger pleasure cars. The total usage by intercity buses was 4 1-2 million barrels of motor fuel, a fortieth of the i consumption by all commercial vehicles. Attention Pup!

Since everybody else cooperates to buy the farmers’ products, self- defense should prompt farmers to cooperate for the sale of their products.
