Quinn, chairman of the Bingham war price and ration-ing board, announced. "In normal times the passeng-er cars would have used two tires per car per year, but it has been necessary for the ration boards to issue only 225,061 tires in three years, or a shortage of 524,933 tires", the chairman said. "In spite of this large decrease in the supply of tires, motorists have been able to keep their cars on the highways because of careful conservation. Ordinarily truck owners buy approximate-ly three tires a year, but since the truck tires allocated to OPA for rationing have been far be-low that figure in the three year period of 1942, 1943, 1944 only 89,946 tires could be issued in-stead of the normal supply of 229,500 truck tires- - But again careful conservation of tires has made it possible for the truck lines of the state to maintain their transportation schedules. At the present time only 100 trucks are down because of lack of tires". I BIRTHS Mr. and Mrs. Joe L.
