Abundance of figures are quoted, but relief is not yet in sight, if they are to be believed. Some men in the know say that there is plenty of rubber, but government control does not relax on rationing. The recent collection of scrap rubber is reported to have produced half a million tons, and the manufac ture of synthetic rubber is progressing, but rubber for everybody is simply not in the cards. There are still 28,000,000 passenger cars in use, many of them not essential to war economy. Unless re tread work is increased speedily it is estimated that one million a month of these cars must be taken off the road per month. A retreaded tire, done from good quality of reclaim ed rubber, is estimated to be good for 6000 miles, which will serve the average family to and from work for the severity of the emergency. This offers the best prospect for civil life and industry to keep on wheels. By the latter part of 1943 synthetic rubber may relieve the entire tire situation. Congress is being criticized for lack of vigorous action, and monopolies are accused of holding back developments. Other political features are said th be clogs on the wheels of advancement, and actual data is difficult to collect. Because the war in the Pacific cut off 90 per cent of our rubber supply, we can charge our troubles to the Japs. But Pearl Har bor is now nearly eight months ago, and there and then government heads knew the great danger be fore us, and the future handicaps we would be forced to endure. If there is rubber in America we should know it, and put it to use in every way possible. If political and other forces are holding its proper uses back we should have a czar who would force all out, both for army uses and for civilian and industrial uses which needs to keep strong in support of the war. • After all, anyone who complains about this weath- er is either unfit for the tasks of the times, or wants something to talk about.

The work of scientists in America’s research laboratories, developing new materials and new equipment, means a lot to our fighting men. 1. It takes years to build up and equip a large, organized, and able staff for research. Fortunately, in dustry did this long ago. 2. Long before Pearl Harbor, laboratories like General Electric's were serving their country—solving technical problems of war. 3. History repeats! In the last war “wireless” was developed for mili tary needs—to become, with peace, a giant broadcasting industry. 4. So it will be this time. Research will help to win the war, and its many wartime discoveries will help to build a better future. General Electric believes that its first duty as a good citizen is to be a good soldier.

Later weighing revealed that a total of 143,425 pounds of rubber was col lected and donated by the Safeway company to the rubber drive, through out the nation. Most of it was collected from stores, stripped from shopping bas kets and buggies shown here, though much also came from the food firm’s warehouses, plants, and offices. Officers of the Safeway company believed housewives approve this ac tion to help beat the Axis, even though rubberless shopping fixtures might mean a little less shopping comfort for them.
