MRS MARGARET FARLEY Funeral services for Mrs. Marg i! FarW of Willows who died Cooperation Will Help Motorists who refuse to recognize the serious ness of the rubber shortage, as well as gasoline, are hastening the day when a gas coupon will be good for one half of the present quota. Indica tions point to a further cut in the quota as a mea sure to safeguard the needs of the armed forces and critical industries. Many motor vehicle oper ators already have felt the pinch resulting from the shortage of rubber, while others have prac tically abandoned the use of their cars since the tread on their tires has almost disappeared. Perhaps some figures released by the OPA will enlighten us on the tire shortage. In 1941, the public had access to 53,500,000 new passenger car tires, plus a substantial quantity of used tires. That was enough tires to equip approximately 15,000,000 cars. During 1942, the quota of pas senger tires made available to OPA by the War Production Board for rationing was 3,700,000. The figures are obvious. It is stated that the tires available for passenger cars in 1943 endangers the transportation of essential war workers. The quota of both new and used tires to keep the es sential cars operating is only 17,000,000. This figure has to take care of approximately 24,000, 000 cars, the total number in operation, on the basis of less than an average of one tire per car. Do you get the idea? Every car owner can do something toward al leviating the tire shortage by adopting a few rules and sticking by them. First, do only essen tial driving. Refrain from pleasure driving. Sec ond, if you have an essential trip coming up, don't keep it to yourself. There may be others wishing to go to the same point on business. Be a car sharer. Third, conserve your tires by frequent checking; if they are wearing thin, have them re- Chest Committee capped before it is too late. This does not require -.i- Qf soms a cerificate.

A young man of our acquaintance who is with the army air corps recently wrote his parents that the saying "there are no atheists in foxholes" holds just as true in the air corps. As he put it, one cannot fly at 30,000 feet over Germany and feel that hie is not close to God." There was no joking in that expression. Tt was made in all se riousness, for apparently he was not speaking without authority that is born of experience. In cidentally, it was an adroit way of telling his people that he has been oyer enemy territory, without violating censorship regulations. Further proof is offered by the statement that he knows the real meaning of duck hunting, only in this in stance he was the duck. Professional Directory J. O.

It is one of the quirks of human nature that we do not recognize authority, divine or otherwise, until we are in trouble or under great stress. Un der such conditions, men and women, too who ordinarily refer to God in a profane man ner turn to Him for assistance. We may be athe ists to all outward appearances but deep down un der there is a belief in something that is ever present although not visible. Our boys in the trenches, on the sea and in the air can ' tell us more about this than we can ever learn from read ing or listening to good sermons. NEW AUTO POLICY Bod. Inj. Pr. Dam.
