That Is Ruinous to the Casing and DangerousHave Your Tires Inspected During This Week BEGINNING MONDflV, MARCH 19 "Our soldiers on the German frontier know that the road to Berlin must be traveled on rubber tires.' Each soldier is doing his individual part in the greatest tire conservation campaign in history. Army trucks and jeeps in Europe are not turning over their wheels an unnecessary mile. In the back areas and along the fighting fronts, soldiers are recapping tires by the thousands, salvaging precious mileage, making the trucks run longer, hauling more tons of vi tal ammunition, material and supplies. If we at home are half as realistic as our fighting men, if we work half as hard to save the tires we do have, we will go a long way toward solving this most vexing problem. I urge all workers in war plants to watch their tire pressures, to repair and recap before it's too late.."
