Other individuals who contribute a great deal of time in helping people and the town, not necessarily part of their positions, are the nurses here, Miss Lillie Gordon, Mrs. Marjorie McDermaid and Mrs. Crystal Colombe. All of these fine ladies work diligently in organizing home nursing classes, go wherever needed, and in general, are doing their parf in a splendid manner. Undoubtedly, there are many, inmany other groups and dividuals who should be commended for their untiring effort to extend aid and cooperation.

In 1941 our production of synthetic rubber was 15,000 tons. This year it is expected to be 0 tons. In 1943, if present plans are carried out, we may produce as much as 350,000 tons and in 1944 may push this production as high as 7,000,000 tons.
