Show BEAVER PRESS 'Do Your Best and End Will Take Care of Itself BETTER There's a bit of impressive sentiment in this homely thought of Abe Lincoln's: "If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business. I do the very best I know how the very best I can; and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right, what is said against me won't amounj to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, 10 angels swearing I was right would make no difference." DRESSMAKING Sfiu 2V SW STAGESCREEf counts that a household must.

Cutting off our rubber supply in the Pacific didn't take us out of the war or even slow us up. For Government, the Rubber Director, the rubber industry, and the petroleum, chemical, and alcohol industries pooled their patents and ideas, worked together, and accomplished the seemingly impossible. Today, there is no shadow of a doubt that our planes will continue to fly, our ships to sail, our tanks to roll For America now has nearly enough rubber to meet our essential needs! The American people saw the new synthetic rubber plants spring up like mushrooms. They heard of large-sca- le production of synthetic rubber. And they applauded. Unfortunately, they also jumped to the conclusion that they could stop worrying about tires! It Is true that the RUBBER supply crisis Is past. tic.

This resulted in millions of tires going out of use at a time when there were no replacements. Meanwhile, tires left in service have less mileage in them, and prewar inventories are gone. One reason Making Barbara Stanwyck look so seductive that it would seem reasonable that Fred MacMurray would enter into her plot to murder her husband for his accident insurance that's the problem faced by Director Bill Wilder in Paramount's "Double Indemnity." First he had her wear a sun suit, but sun suits are now so widely worn that they're no longer obviously seductive. She had to jolt MacMurray at first glance. So now she wears a bath towel! Another reason is that our military needs are far greater than anyone anticipated.

Finally, the tire industry, like every industry today, is feeling the manpower shortage, and there just aren't enough hands for the job. r These problems will be overcome when our enemies are overcome. Meanwhile, we want to put our cards face sp on the table. We've told you frankly vhy there Is a serious tire shortage. Now we want you, and every other American who owns a set of tires, to know that this country's transunless blow portation system can still suffer a serious ... you make it your personal duty to take care of the tires you now own. Do no unnecessary driving. Live up to the Government regulation don't exceed 35 miles an hour. Keep your tires inflated up to recommended pressure, and check them every week. Avoid hitting holes in the road, or bruising your tires on curbs or stones. Don't start or stop suddenly. Slow down for sharp corners. See that your wheels and axles are in line. Switch your tires from wheel to wheel every five thousand miles, and have them inspected regularly for removal of foreign objects and repair of cuts. And . . . most Important of all . . . recap your tires as soon as they become smooth. HOW GOOD ARE PASSENGER CAR 0 TIRES OF SYNTHETIC RUBBER? It may be a long time before all civilians can get synthetic rubber tires. Meanwhile, if you should be one of the few who do get them, you will want this information: Synthetic rubber tires for passenger cars are good tires, and will give you satisfactory service if you take care of them. You should not think of synthetic rubber tires as im proved tires . . . but as emergency tires. And remember that they have not yet had time to prove what they can do. It is beside the point to theorize on how they would react to the phenomenally high speeds of prewar days. Every patriotic American knows that tire treads . . .all tire treads . . . wear out faster at high speeds, and so drives at today's recommended speed of 35 miles an hour. As time goes on, we will learn more about the effects of rough roads, and of other abuses. n of They damage all tires. Indications are that they do proportionately more harm to synthetic rubber tires. under-inflatio- Meanwhile; all tires are rationed to you in trust for the nation, and it is your duty to take every possible care of them, to avoid misuse and pre-vent abuse. As experience teaches us more and more about synthetic rubber tires, we will pass the information along to you. Meantime, play safe Be careful! If you use synthetic rubber tubes, be sure they are properly installed. They should be put into the tire, then inflated, deflated, and inflated again. And they should never be mounted on rusty rims. TRUCK AND BUS TIRES ARE A DIFFERENT STORY Truck and bus tires, being larger and heavier, generate more heat. They are given long, hard usage on all kinds of highways. They are all too frequently overloaded. Frankly, today's synthetic rubber bus and truck tires will not stand the abuse that prewar tires would stand, especially overloading. Progress is being made daily but overloading which would have damaged a prewar tire can ruin today's synthetic tire. The Tire Industry Is doing Its utmost to solve the serious problem of providing the nation's trucks and buses with satisfactory tires in sufficient quantities. But until this problem is solved, a dangerous threat exists to America's most vital transportation. Therefore, while treads of present truck and bus tires are immensely important . . . the carcasses of these tires have a value beyond all price to A meric.a, and to A merica's truck and bus operators! Unless tires now in use are made to last, these two essential services will almost certainly break down! These tires . . . every one of them . . . must be recapped the instant the tread wears smooth before any damage is done to the carcass. ... They must be recapped not once; but again and again! High speeds must be done away with especially on hot roads. Overloads must be avoided. Tires must be properly Inflated at all times. to The responsibility to take care of these tires is a vital necessity! make them last as long as possible It must be shouldered by all operators, by all drivers, by ... ... ... all garage men! No American can fail to heed this warning! The situation is so serious that it is recognized in a new tire warranty. But the real job is to conserve all tires now in use! $ hea; towtantp. With conditions as they are, and synthetic rubber in its present stage of development, a new tire warranty has become necessary and has been adopted. It applies to all tires. Under its terms, injuries such as bruises, body breaks, cuts, snags, and heat failures as well as tread wear are not subject to adjustment consideration. Nor are injuries or failures which result from improper tire care or misuse or abuse. This includes failure as a result of overload, excess speed, improper inflation, or other conditions.
