In commenting on the recent order of the Office of Defense . Transportation. which allowed the “bus lines until October 15 to adjust their schedules to the 35-mile-per“hour limit, F. W.

Thousands . upon thousands of arrival and de;Parture times must be changed, . throughout the .entire west. Hund. reds of connections must be worked jout at transfer points, all meal and lrest stops rearranged. The working hours of drivers and depot employes must be readjusted to meet the changed schedules. Then complete hew timetables must be prepared and printed. These are major changes, but in addition there are countSeay seer Paces ae speed reduction that must be ironed out. All of this we are doing as quickly as it is humanly possible. There is the acute shortage of trained personnel; also the difficulty in obtaining new equipment. Today our buses are already carrying above normal capacity, and the slower schedules will undoubtedly result in some inconveniences.

The general said that part of the ceremony ‘‘makes the 13th Division a living organization, gives it its soul.’’ At the close of General Wogan’s charge, armed color guards received the banners from their commanding general. The military band swung into the ‘opening bars of the national anthem and the color guards bore the flags to the regiments and battalions waiting to receive them on the field. x The review of the troops by General Wogan and his staff followed immediately and as the colors of each regiment passed the reviewing stand, the general’s color guard dipped the red and green divisional banner and the general’s twin starred red banner in salute.

AND WHAT ro Do ABOUT IT It’s maddening when a fuse blows out. When this happens, however, it is a warning that some appliance may have overloaded a circuit, or there may be a loose connection causing a “short.” You can save time by replacing fuses yourself. It is easy to do this and you help us save tires on service cars that are needed to help maintain the delivery of power to war industries. Ask for your copy of P.

Construction indicates the craft was truly a suicide ship. It had no provisions.forrecharging the batteries and had a cruising range of not more than 150 miles submerged. “The sub never could have been expected to return to its mother ship,”’ ‘Navy officers said, ‘leaving nothing for the crew to do except to blow up the craft with a detonation charge found inside, or surrender themselves by coming to the surface.’’ The \Navy has removed all engines from the vessel and is making a study of them.

Weaver, who served as secretary and bookkeeper for the firm until last February, died suddenly of a heart attack at hishome in Grass Valley Thursday night. «The deceased retired as a ,shoemaker in GrassValley several years ago. Rey. Carl Tamblyn of Marysville officiated at the funeral rites. Burial was in the Masonic Cemetery. Weaver leaves his wife, a daughter Miss Birdie Weaver and a son, Walter Leon Weaver. With gas rationing just around the corner there’s considerable consolation in the thought that the blowhard who used to boast about getting fifty miles per gallon with his heap_is now going to get a chance to prove it. . ‘Rolling stones igather no moss but rolling tires gather plenty of miles.
