MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1943

TIRE SUPPLY SEEN
Lumber Haulers Sharply
Criticized at Meeting of
Police and Ration Heads.
A crisis faces the county be
cause ot the abuse of truck and
passenger tires and the smaller
monthly quotas now being made
available by OPA for use here.
This was the opinion voiced at
a meeting of state police repre
sentatives, ODT district mainte
nance advisory committee mem
bers, ODT officials and OPA tire
panel members, held last night
at the ration board office in Med
ford. "The importance of the lumber
business m.ust be borne in mind,"
stated L. L. Ternahan, executive
secretary of the ration board,
"but it becomes increasingly ap
parent that demands on available
tires by this industry are out of
all proportion to either the num
ber of trucks being operated, or
the importance of the business.
Some very much needed steps
will have to be taken by the in
dustry itself or drastic action
will have to be taken by OPT
and OPA. Excessive speeds and
overloading, careless driving,
bad roads and prejudice against
using recapping are among the
most prevalent abuses."
The quality of OPA inspection
service came in for very severe
criticism at the meeting and a
plan is being formulated to weed
out inspectors who either cannot,
or will not cooperate in all the
OPA regulations.
"Most of the inspectors want
to do a good job," stated Clifford
O. Wheelock, vice-president and
manager of Lewis Super Service
Station In Medford, "but what
are you going to do when he
tells his customer that he should
have recaps tf the truck owner
says 'if you feel that way, I will
go to some other inspector who
will give me a different Inspec
tion. I don't want recaps. I want
new tires'."
This was considered to be such
an important point it was de
cided to ask the inspectors to
try to solve it, and a meeting of
all OPA inspectors under the ju
risdiction of the Medford ration
board will be called In the near
future.
An education campaign for all
users of rubber is needed in the
opinion of Mel Starnes, chairman
of the tire panel of the ration
ing board. "There is a wide
spread misunderstanding of syn
thetic rubber, Mr. Starnes de
clared. "At comparatively low
speeds not over 35 miles an hour,
and not too heavily loaded, it
will be satisfactory, but exces
sive speeds or overloads break it
down very rapidly. Moreover,
we are at the very end of pre
war first, second, and in fact
every other usable tire. It is just
going to be too bad unless peo
ple come to realize this fact.
"Pierce Auto Freight uses re
caps on drivers as well as all
other wheels with complete suc
cess," declared Archie Pierce,
president of the line. "There was
a time that we were foollsn
enough to argue that it. could
not be done, but actual experi
ence has proved otherwise. Our
drivers are very carefully in
structed and I think it would pay
every operator 'o watch his
drivers carefully and instruct
them. For instance, in running
close to the edge of the pave
ment, if one of the duals passes
the edge, the resulting load on
the other tire is increased about
300 per cent and that may cause
both tires to blow out."
Jim Busch, head of the dis
trict ODT office, said "The ODT
is very much aware of the prob
lem and will do everything to

"That we will do without

"We must not feel that be
cause Italy is out of action that
the war is nearly over. That
would be a great mistake."

glass shortage inj))
Patriotie stridel
The government's severe restrictions on glass for coffee
packaging and the lifting of coffee rationing is responsible for the
appearance at your favorite grocery, of Golden West Coffee la
glassine-lined paper bags. The necessity for packaging Golden West
Coffee in other than tin or glass in this emergency is indeed unusual,
but doing unusual things will help win this war. '
Here is how you can help without depriving yourself of the
traditional freshness and flavor of Golden West Coffee "Let every
other pound of Golden West Coffee you buy, be the emergency war
time package". The price of the new package will be slightly lower
than the glass jar. Drip or Regular Grind, ot course! .

Italy, Sept. 15 (Delayed) (U.PJ
Life goes on about the same as
usual in no-man's-land In Italy
these days despite the fierceness
of the war being waged on all
sides.
I found that even in no-man's-land
American dollars were still
as good as gold and were inter
changeable at fixed rates of 100
lire for one dollar.
Cigaret Standard
But the real standard for no-
man's land isn't gold dollars,
pounds nor lire but the Amer
ican cigaret. One package of
cigarets equals six eggs or one
glass of chianti wine or a bushel
of grapes. One chicken costs
a whole carton of cigarets
Accompanying a reconnais
sance patrol which went beyond
our lines. I had a chance to see
how Italian farmers, villagers,
and townsfolk are living in the
middle of the criss-cross fire
between Anglo-American forces I
and the enemy.
I found that they not only
arc amazingly unafraid of the
shell fire and patrol skirmish
ing about them but that they i
also are ready to sell American
doughboys and English tommies
any supplies they have in re
serve eggs, grapes, wine and
occasionally chickens.
Their motto seems to be "bust-
nfrs as usual.'
At a place which cannot be
revealed for military reasons,
we found an American dough
boy being cared for by an Ital
ian family and nursed back to
health. He had been stricken
by fever while making another
patrol, and got lost and was
found by an Italian.
The recuperating doughboy Is
Pvt. John Wycsilsoky of Laffer-
ty, O. He told me as he 'elt the
town with us that "they sure
served me some good soup."
I could hear shooting around
me all the time," he added. "I
was scared stiff that a German
patrol would come m. Anyway,
I feel pretty strong again."
One thing the war has given
them both fear and respect for

REDS IRKED BY CLAIM
GERMANS WITHDRAWING
Moscow, Sept. 17 (U.PJ The
newspaper Pravda today de
nounced an assertion attributed
to the polish general, Wladislaw
Anders that Germany had with
drawn 50 divisions from the
Russian front to establish stra
tegic reserves in western and
southern Europe. Anders also
was denounced as was the late
Gen. Wladislaw Sikorskl, Polish
premier.
On the contrary, Pravda said,
the Germans have shifted sev
eral more divisions to the east
era front from the west.
The first trotter In the U. S.
to step a mile in less than 3
minutes was Yankee at New
York In 1808.
