Rubber Campaign
Gets Under Way
In Montgomery
Salvage Chairman George
v. Menke Urges All Out
Help. Rubber Brings Cent
A Pound

Mobilization of Montgomery
County's rubber scrap resources
to aid in lettering the National
Rubber situation got under way
this week with all gasoline stations
and garages in the county cooper
ating to the fullest extent, George
v. Menke, county salvage chair
man announced.
Housewives, school children, bus
mess men and all good citizens are
securing attics, Easements and
closets for those forgotten ga
loshes that had hole in them and
were thrown into a dark corner.
Old rubber hose, worn-out tires
even those rubber panties that
were such a supplement to Jun
ior's triangular pants-anything
rubber in fact-are being routed
from their hiding places and placed
into the Nations rubber pool.
Rubber won't win the war-but
it will be big help, Menke pointed
out in urging that every citizen do
his and her share in providing the
rubber scrap needle dto exc out the
supply of new rubber.
Cooperation in the campaign has
selfish angle as well as patriotic
Menke said. "The only possible way
to get enough rubber to permit
more rubber for civilian tire uses is
to have such a successful campaign
that the country has a surplus of
rubber instead of the sparse sup
ply that has caused the present
ban of motoring"
You can get one cent a pound
for your old rubber by taking it to
the gasoline station or garage
nearest your home and turning it
in. If you wish to donate the rub
Der you can leave it at the scrap
bin in the Farm Women's Market
at Bethesda, the Bethesda Fire De-
partment, the Chevy Chase Fire
Department, or leave it at the gas
station. The oil companies have
agreed to cooperate and to repay
the station owners for the rubber
he collects and pays for at a cent
pound. The rubber will be turn
ed over to the Rubber Reserve
Company Of RFC and any profits
will be divided equally between
USO, Army Relief, Navy Relief
and the American Red Cross.

Might Be Wrong--BUT
BY P. G. STROMBERG

he will find it is made up of the
type of men people will gladly
support for public office. Just be-
cause men in civil life become
leaders in their respective COM
munities certainly should not dis
qualify them from joining war
time military orgapizaticn which
might prove of inestimable
value. Fact of the matter is that
any effort to select a group
of men in any community in
which company of the Mary
land State Guard has been orga-
nized would either have to in
clude most of the men who make
up the rosters today or no guard
company would have been orga-
nized. This is especially true
throughout the counties of Mary
land and it is the men of the
counties of Maryland who have
felt such keen resentment of
either ignorance or a deliberate
attempt to sabotage the entire
State Guard.

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

The gods, unless the war has made
them wholly incapable of laughter,
must be laughing now as they consider
ruling of the Office of Censorship that
gloomy" mail cannot be sent to South
America. The ruling, one of the most
remarkable things of it's kind ever
made by a censor, is given publicity IN
special Washington dispatch to the
New York Times.
The Times says that individual opin-
ion about the United States war effort,
particularly opinion which presents
what might be thought gloomy" pic
ture or indicates that the program is
not running perfectly, is considered
censorable If destined for Latin-Amer-
lea, even in personal letter!
This ruling by the Postal Section Of
the Office of Censorship was recently
revealed by refusal to transmit mail
to Argentina because the viewpoint of
the writer was not optimistic. It was
frankly admitted by a spokesman IF
the Office of Censorship that the letter
was returned to the sender, not because
of any facts contained in the written
material, but because there was direct
statement that the American people
would have to make sacrifices to win
the war.
Beat that if you can!
X X X
'"Our experts here think the letter
was too gloomy to permit it to reach a
South American reader" this spokes
man said in answer to an inquiry from
the sender. ~
He then selected the following sen
tence as an example of what he meant
Il must confess that an unfortunate
| ly large number of North Americans
haven't yet begun to know how big 8
| war we are fighting and how much
each one of us is going to have to sacri
flee in order to win that war"
The same thing has been said thou
sands of times verbally and in print
but the Office of Censorship doesn1
think it fit for South American circl
lation.
| y
The censorship official, according tt
the Times, explained that the Posta
Section had decided that Latin Ameri
cans must not be allowed to think there
is any weakness whatsoever in thu
American war effort. Just as if they
didn't know what was apparent to tn,
whole world.
'You mean we must appear a.
mechanically perfect as an automobil,
assembly line? the censorship gentle
man was asked.
That's about it," he replied. "It''
not good psychological warfare. to le
them think our productive capacit.
can't meet every demand. We dom
want to emphasize the fact that we ar
being rationed or that our citizens ar
making sacrifices in their standards o
living"
He admitted, says the Times, tina
refusal to transmit the letter was di
rect censorship of personal opinion, al
though the note accompanying tn
letter when it was returned to TIN
sender said it was being held up be
cause it contained defense matters"
The ruling is an extraordinary eX
ample of foolishness, hardly calculates
to inspire confidence in the Washing
ton direction of the war effort. TIL
Times should be given a citation o
honor for exposing it to what ought I
be derisiOn of the world.
