OP A Appeals To
Alaskans To
Conserve Tires
_
An appeal to all Alaskans to ^
jrin in the nation wide program
of conserving tires was issued
today from the Alaska Office of
Price Administration by Mildred
R. Hermann. Director. Pointing
cut that there has been a great
deal of confusion about the rub
b r situation, much of it caused
by optimistic stories about the
availability of synthetic rubber .
at an early date. Mrs. Hermann
stressed the urgent necessity of
all Alaskans to do their part in
helping meet this desperate con- i
dition.
“There is," Mrs Hermann said,
“no real basis for optimism of
any kind about the rubber sit
uation. Our rubber shortage is
one of the worst materials short
ages we face. We can spare no
rubber of any kind for non-es
sential uses. Statements to the
contrary are misleading and do
the country a great disservice
for the facts are actually grim
and lOThT cooperation in conser
vation measures by the general
public and by industry must be
had.' This fact has been stressed
by four loading war agency offic
ials and a public statement is
sued jointly designed to clarify
the facts. The figures of the War
Production Board show three
facts:
(1) We cannot spare any rub
ber to make new tires for ordin
ary pa s, ngor- ca* and the tires
r e do have must be stictly ra
t nod to essential uses.
(2) Whatever synthetic rubber
is produced must go to the war
etTort.
(3) The most optimistic esti
mate for this year and next in
dicates no rubber at all for any
thing but the most essentia! us
ages.
“The optimistic stories have
kep. many of us from realizing
what wt are up aga nst," Mrs.
Hermann said. "Even today af
ti r nir-nt s of rigid rationing the
people o: Alaska in general seem
not to realize that the rubber
shortage is actually de=perate
Mor< than thirty million cars in
Amor ca are still going back and
forth w thout respect to the need
for stopp.ng all but the most es
scntial driving and a fa r proper
t in of these are in Alaska. When
Married Re
serves Are To
Be Called Up
Washington, Sept.— Sec
retary of War Henry L.
Stimson said that several
thousand married men.
members of the Army
Reserve, the enlisted re
serve, and the National
Guard will be called up for
service. He said this move
was made possible by the
dependent’s allowance act
and raised pay for soldiers.
Cases of all reservists de
ferred for dependency will
be reviewed. Those who
should no longer be defer
red will be called as soon
as possible after October 1,
while others will be given
honorable discharges as of
December. 1942. and in
structed to register under
Selective Service.
the rubber from these cars is
gone and autos have to be shelv
; ed because there are no tires it
will put a severe burden on the
already inadequate transporta
tion facilities provided by busses
and taxis. The people must re
alize that the rubber in the tires
which they possess is a trust.
Needless driving today is unpat
r.otic. Deliberate waste of rub
ber helps ihe enemy."
“We cal! on all Alaskan to
unite with the people of the
country in general to ration
r'j, !v, - strictly. Every* citizen
of Alaska should at once adopt a
five-point conservation program:
(li Stop driving your car-ex
cept when absolutely necessary;
make it last.
(2) Drive under 35 miles an
hour.
(3) Shift tires from wheel to
wheel and inflate them properly.
(4) If you have to drive to
, work. drive your friends and
neighbors too: car pooling is es
1 sential
15) Remember lhai rubber is
precious: every car is now a vital
part of the nation's transporta
tion system.
Walk :f you possibly can. but
if you must drive, follow these
rules.”
