Tubes for Cars
Getting Short
Restrictions On
-
With a sharp decline in
the number of passenger
tubes available for Novem-1
her, all Territorial Local
Rationing Boards are be
ing warned to issue no cer
tificates for tubes unless
the applicant’s old tubes
are worn beyond the pos
sibility of repair.
The Defense Supply Cor
poration, sole purchaser
through Railway Express
Agency offices of new and
used tires and tubes, began
to build a national stock
pile October 15, for the re
lief of civilian transporta
tion. Those who have new
or used tires in excess of
five for each car. or extra
tubes, although no limita
tion has been imposed up
o?i the latter, may neither
sell nor give them to other
consumers or dealers.
While tire registration i
has not begun in Alaska.!
all possible cooperation
with the rubber conserva
tion program is urgently
requested. According to
the Tire Inspector’s Man
ual, Washington, D. C.,
tires on civilian cars arc
wearing down at a rate
eight times greater than
they are being replaced. If
this rate continues, it is
' stated, by far the larger
number of cars will be off
the highways next year,
and a collapse of civilian
transportation in 1944 is
predicted.
Alaska Gal
Figures In
Global War
Nancy Miller, who start
led the world some years
ago by marrying the tem
permental Maharaja Yesh
want of Indore, is reported
as having had a “very good
effect” on the spirited ex
ruler who first met her
when on a trip around the
world.
For three generations In
dore has been in more or
less serious difficulty with
the British government.
The grandfather of the pre
sent maharaja abdicated
after the murder of a Brit
ish agent.
The maharaja had decid
ed to decentralize author
ity but his ministers would
not permit it so he had to
scale down some of his de
sires. Just now he is in
America and the Indians
are wondering if he wall
return in four months as
he said he would.
The late Jack Miller,
well-known Alaska mining
man, little dreamed that
his daughter, Nancy Ann,
would figure in world pol
itics during a global war
when he panned gold in
the Gold Rush days, in the
Slate Creek area, near
Chistochina, and was a
familiar figure at Valdez,
Cordova and vicinity,
where Nancy Ann spent
her girlhood.
