The rubber problem seems still to be in a gordian
knot. 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. A Summer well over the
half way mark with only five or six hot days of rec
ord can hardly be matched in the temperate zone.

War Research
In war the advantage is on the side with the best weapons. 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.

OFF IT CAME
FOR VICTORY
Vernon Rasmussen. manager of
Safeway store in Portland, shows
how all Safeway stores were stripped
for precious rubber, a few days be
fore the nation’s rubber drive closed.
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.
