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

monopoly on the) "no atheist" theory.: Men of
other branches of the service feel that they too
know the presence of God in their most trying
moments.
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.

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.
