Show Lu.., SOLDIERS HOME ON FURLOUGH ! AL- LOWED MORE GAS A new policy in granting gasoline to members of the armed services on leave or furlough will have a good affect on morale, stated Leo McKin- chairman of the county war price non, and rationing board. "Beginning July 25,. a serviceman or woman on leave or a period of three days or more will be entitled to one gallon of gasoline for each day of his said. "The new leave," the chairman ' rule replaces one granting a flat five gallons regardless of length of the leave or furlough." It has become evident that the old ' policy, which 'restilted in giving too much gasoline to servicemen who got many short leaves was unfair to the man serving out of the country and returning after a long absence. To eliminate this unfairness,, the chairman remarked, "the new rule, tailoring the amount of the ration to the length of leave or furlough, was worked out by OPA in, conjunction with representatives of the Army and Navy. Furlough rations will now range between a. minimum of three gallons for a three-daleave to a maximum of 30 gallons for 30 days. At the suggestion of the Army and Navy, no ration will be granted for passes (to Army personnel! or liberties ' (to Navy personnel) or for leave or furloughs of less than three days.' To receive, his ration, the serviceman or woman should apply to the war nrice and ration. board having jurisdiction over the automobile he expects to drive' and present hjs papers'. The ration will be issued in the form of coupons or gasoline purchase permits, or a combination. of the two. y, . : PAPER SALVAGE DRIVE TO BE LAUNCHED HERE Rich county will put ori a scrap paper drive some time between now and Aug. l&th .at which time all paper ' collected will be loaded at Coalville, tJthfor shipment.

Friday July 28, 1944 THE SEABEE SPEAKS So you're tired of working, Mister, and you think youll rest a bit, Youve been working pretty steady and youre getting sick of it, You think the war is ending so youre slowing down the pace, Thats what you may be thinking, sir, ut it just aint the case.. What would you think, Sir, if we quit because we're tired too? Were flesh and blood and human, and were as tired as you, j 4, Did yoq ever dig a fox hole and climb down in side? And wjsh it went to China so youd have some place to hide, While motored "'buzzards" packed with guns were circling overhead, And filled the ground around you with hot exploding lead? And did you ever dig out, Mister, from debris and dirt, And feel yourself all over toe see where you were hurt, And find you couldnt move, tho you weren't hurt at all, And feel so darned relieved that youd just sit down and bawled? Were you ever hungry, Mister, not the kind of food that gluts, But a gnawing, cutting hunger that bites into your guts? Its a homesick hi :iger, and it digs around inside, And its got you in its clutches and there aint no place to hide. Were you ever dirty, Mister not the wilty collar kind, But the oozy, slimy ( messy dirt, and gritty kind that grinds? Do you ever mind the heat, Sir, not the kind that makes the sweat, run, But the kind that drives you crazy till you even curse the sun? Were you ever, weary, Mister, I mean log tired you kno When your feet ain got no feeling and your egs dont want to go? But we keep agoin' Mister, you .can V. ' bet your life we do. . And let me tell you Mister,' .we expect ' the same of you: What a weary Seabee, carrying Jon through fatigue and hunger on a South Pacific Island, thinks of the men, at home who complain of the hardships of var and shirk the duty of winning it, s expressed in the above poem, written b an anonymous Seabeef and sent to Oscar Bellman by his son, Carl.

When had we food, we had oil, we had steel, lumber, aluminum... practically everything we needed. Theres one thing we didnt have . . . rubber. The enemy had that. But that didnt bother us for long. Soon American brains and industry had synthetic rubber by the tons rolling out of plants. That filled a .critical need . . . you cant win a war without rubber. . I was very much interested the other day in reading a statement made by a high government official on synthetic rubber. In it he saidTt is fair to regard the rubber manufactured to date as being almost solely the product of the beverage distilling industry. He also said that, in his estimation, the tremendous contribution of distillers industrial alcohol to the synthetic rubber program had not received the recognition which it two-da- deserves.
