SAVE TIME Pre-arrange Your Trip SAVE MATERIALS Vital to War Efforts AVOID CROWDS Go before Mid-Summer Y OU can travel today as before — but you’ll be helping yourself as well as your country if you cooperate in several important ways. Wartime conditions tend to crowd transportation facilities on week ends, the only time many soldiers, sailors, war workers can travel. Taking mid-week trips will relieve congestion—for instance, shopping tours, social visits, business trips, recreational travel, even visits to men at camps. And if you’ll arrange to get tickets, schedules, information well before depar ture time, you’ll avoid delays and confusion. ]f you’re taking a vacation this year plan to go before the mid-summer rush. Going by bus instead of by car, you’ll be saving vital materials America needs. Buses carry a passenger several times as for per pound of rubber, per gallon of fuel.
