Farmers to Join Conserving Plans EYery farmer will be asked to protect wartime food production by joining in community plans for con serving tires, trucks and cars through neighborhood “hauling and riding pools.’’ Details of the plan for cutting down on driving to conserve farm transponation were announced re cently by George A.

The statement points to the list, of 30,000 American workmen kil led and 2,500,000 wounded since Pearl Harbor, compared to a total’ of 44,143 casualties in the Amer ican armed forces since Pearl Har bor, as tragic evidence of the need for preventing accidents in this country.
