These were all-day gatherings attended by hundreds of men and women seeking em ployment and personnel officials of government installations with positions to fill.

Yes, you may now travel on business or pleasure to any of the thousands of points served by Greyhound. Q. Do buses still have to travel at 35 miles an hour? A. No. Greyhound’s new time-saving schedules will get you to your destination earlier, and this stepped-up service will mean more trips daily, more seats available. Q. Does that mean buses will no longer be crowded? A. No. Although the war is over, Greyhound will still be in “military service” for a while. Thousands of dischargees, 'others traveling on furlough, and war workers returning to their permanent residence will be depending on Grey hound — so some buses will still be crowded. Q. How soon can we expect to ride in new Greyhound buses? A. We are getting some buses now, and have others on order. Present plans call for replacement of one-third of our fleet by the end of 1946.
