ONLY GOOD PART
OF CATALOG

A purchasing agent reflected on the
sad lack Of new catalogs in recent
months. The P. A. felt he needed some
kind of guide, so he wrote a note to
his suppliers, reading as follows
I'VE have not seen q catalog from
you for some time. Perhaps you could
give us some system whereby we could
figure approximate present costs from
your old edition"
And these we're some Of the replies:
I'VE are glad TO advise the nlustra-
lions are still Okay. Only we have
discontinued most of the items. If we
sent you the whole list Of what we
aren't making, your catalog would be
useless. Then where would we be?"
Forget the prices. Also. forget the
descriptions. BY the time you get this
letter, we don't know ourselves what
we will be making the stuff out Of"
Thank you for your note indicat-
ing you Sttll have one Of our complete
catalogs. Please return it at once. You
ought to see the prices we're getting

are still certain about is the line that

Americans Are
Doing Good Job
In Saving Rubber

American people are doing a pretty
good job Of tire conservation, as re-
Elected In motor fuel demand. Despite
the tremendous demand for use Of the
armed forces the consumption Of mo-
tor fuel is showing a decline which
can be accounted for only by the fact
that people are cutting down automo-
bile mileage to save rubber.
According to the US.BM. monthly
petroleum forecast, the total demand
for all oils increased over II percent
in the first quarter Of 1912, compared
with the same period in 1941, but APP
parently has dropped between and
2 percent below last year in the sec
ond quarter and win probably show
a decline of about percent below
last year in the third quarter Of 1912
The decrease in domestic motor fuel
demand is the major factor as the
demands for most other products show
substantial gains. This anticipated
decline is due to reduced use of motor
vehicles to conserve tires and to the
results of gasoline rationing over and
above the tire situation" says the
review.

THICKOL PLANT
IS BEING BUILT

NEW YORK-Plans for building q
new plant to produce approximately
$4,000 tons Of Thickol synthetic rubber
per year for retreading a million tires
q month have been completed by
Thickol Corp, and Dow Chemical Co.
Plant is being rushed to completion
and IS expected to be in operation
within several months, according to q
company spokesman.
Essential raw materials for making
Thickol polysulfide rubber, which COM
panies feel viii undoubtedly mitigate
the present tire famine, are found Ia
almost unlimited quantities in this
country. One advantage Of retreading
with Thickol rubber type NJ is that
rough retread becomes an integral
part Of the tire, no cementing or bind
ing Of any kind being necessary.

MARKET FOR
MORE METALS
NOW AFFORDED

Senator James E. Murray has ad-
vised the Mining Association Of Mon
tana that he has recommended to the
Reconstruction Finance Corp. that the
purchase of various critical minerals
such as tungsten, anthony, ETC., be
initiated by the Metals Reserve Co. in
addition to its policy Of purchasing
low-grade manganese and chrome ore.
This policy was recommended to the
predecessor of the WPB by the mining
association last November In letter
which was signed not only by the Of
ficerS of the mining association, but
also by Gov. Sam c. Ford, Albert n.
Kruse, secretary of the Montana Pre-
parednesS and Advisory commission,
and E. j. Keeley, chairman Of the De-
tense committee, Silver Bow Post NO.
/, American Legion.
It has been pointed out that con-
siderable deposits Of these critical and
strategic minerals are available in
Montana for development now that
the r. F. G. has adopted the policy
of making small loans to miners.
In view of the large number Of APP
plications for small loans that viii
pour into the Reconstruction Finance
Corp. under the class C policy Of loan
ing up to 5000 to explore, unwater,
retimber and make accessible ore de-
posits, Senator Murray also suggested
to C. B. Henderson, chairman Of the
board of Reconstruction Finance Corp,
that state facilities be employed for
the purpose Of filtering such applica-
tons.
Senator Murray pointed out that the
local governments Of the several states
already have compiled practically all
of the information available about
mineral deposits. He suggested that
the states be called upon to make pre-
liminary examinations and tentative
recommendations on such loans appli-
cations, to expedite them.

Murray Wars
On Duplication
Of QuestiOnn0ires

Senator James e. Murray Of Mon
tana received national acclaim when
he caused issuance Of a government
QUESTIONABLE aimed at reducing the
number of government questionnaires
Letters were sent to 10000 to ask how
much time was taken up filling out
government reports.
1--WE got replies from almost all the
OO0O," he said, land there wasn't a
single complaint about filling out this
particular QUESTIONABLE.
"One large rubber company said 1t
cost 100000 year to answer ques-
lions propounded by various govern
mental agencies. But the cost in dol
lars wasn't the worst of it. They said
it took their most important officials
an average of an hour each per day
to fill out the reports"
He cited the case Of a MaSSachu-
sets business man who said one OF
his three office employees spent all
his time making out government re-
turns and reports.
Murray is the author of a bill to
coordinate all federal reporting serv-
ices and eliminate duplicated and
overlapping requests for information.
Under his proposal, the director Of the
budget would correlate such requests
and try to make a single QUESTIONABLE
do the work of three or four.
Senator Murray is due back in Mon
tana to resume his interrupted tour
of the state In the interests Of his
campaign for denomination at the
coming primaries.

tungsten, tin ores, metallic mercury
and other strategic minerals in small
lots If delivered to purchasing stations

Murray said, in a prepared state
ment, this ruling by the r. F. @. was
made in response to my request that

Seeking Body.
Of FGuLted Ore
At Buckeye Mine

Standard Silver-Lead Mining Co. is
turning its attention to development
Of new properties, following cessation
of operations at its Gould mine at
Wilborn, in the Marysville district.
This company has been testing the
Buckeye property near Sheridan,
Mont, at the old town of Brandon. A
250-foot shaft opened an ore body but
the quantity was limited by faulting.
The shaft was continued to 80 feet
and crosscuts are being run in an
effort to again locate the ore.
The Gould mill treated 22,445 tons
Of ore and 1862 tons of tailings with
a production of 1855 ounces of gold
and 1870 ounces of silver during l94l,
under the management OF the late
Stanley Moore.
