SAWDUST TIRE DRAWS LOCAL INTEREST A unique retreading device which embodies sawdust in the rubber tread of passenger car tires to prevent skidding on ice and snow was an nounced recently by the Philippi Tire Service in Mehama. The "sawdust” tread, while new in the Santiam canyon, has been used with success in other sections of the northwest, where snow and ice Condi tions are more prevalent than gen erally experienced here. It is re- markable that the simple fact of im- pregnating the rubber tread stock with sawdust, which in turn flakes out leaving a coarse road surface, provides such a tremendous non-skid effect. The state of Washington now re- quires all school buses operating on snow and ice to be equipped with this type of treaded tire.
