Eastman as its adviseWyyffds lSH
Eastman as its director. The Of
flee of Defense Transportation au-
thorizes the Highway Traffic Adj
visory Committee and its subcom-
mittees in each state to take over
the conservation of transportation
facilities which largely means to
keep private automobiles and trucks
functioning for their necessary du-
ties.
Even liberal estimates of the rub
Der supply and expected production
Of synthetic show that no rubber
will be available for civilian tires
for three years. In spite of the rub
Der shortage private vehicles must
continue their necessary business
in order to relieve the strain on
public transportatin.. The State
Highway Traffic Advisory Commit
tee to the War Department urges
as a necessity toward our victory,
the adoption of this program by
every owner to make his vehicle and
its tires serve at least three years.
l. Refuse to drive even a mile
unless the trip is vitality necessary.
Pleasure trips and recreation in an
automobile must be put aside for
the duration.
2. Keep speeds below 35 miles per
hour. High speeds burn up rubber
at least twice as fast, necessitate
fast stops that use rubber, and gen
crate tire heat that causes rapid
deterioration.
3. Join an auto pool-someone
nearby is going your way. If five
drivers take the same necessary trip,
four cars can be left home to use
on later trips.
4. Keep tires and vehicle in con-
dition. Make vehicle repairs as soon
as trouble shows up rather than
after a breakdown. Check tire in
flation regularly and change the po-
sitions of the tires on the car each
five thousand miles.
While you keep your car rolling
on its necessary business, you are
helping your country achieve vic
tory.

Tells How To Make
Tires Lost Longer

Private passenger automobiles and
trucks are highly necessary war
machines, the State Highway Traffic
Advisory Committee to the War De-
partment accounced today. Along
with battleships, tanks and planes,
the "a million privately owned mo-
tor vehicles in the nation must be
used to bring defeat to the Axis.
Private vehicles must be used, not
through government requisitioning,
but by their own operators contin-
uing their necessary driving to
bring produce to its markets, work
ers to their posts, and students to
their classes. The "a million pri-
vate vehicles form an important
segment of our national economy
for they serve family and local
transportation systems. If the pri-
vately owned vehicle cannot keep
operating, the railroads, bus lines
and all other forms Of public trans
portation would suffer immediate
overlooking severe enough to Grip
pie all war material transportation.
A nationwide transportation break
down might bring the. war to a
quick close with defeat to the Unit
ed Nations.
Realizing the supreme necessity
of about transportation efficiency,
the Secretary of War appointed a
highway Traffic Advisory Commit
tee to the War Department and i'm

Orders the office of Defense Trans
portation and appointed Joseph B..

Nitrogen Is now used In the manu-
facture OF fertilizers, refrigerants,
water purifiers, metals, rubber, lu-
bricants, textiles, plastics, lacquers,
dyestuffs, pigments, glass and ex-
plosives. During World War /, when
America imported most OF its nitro
gen, supplies were scarce and prices
scared. Today the American pro-
duction OF nitrogen is more than
1000 per cent greater than it was at
the start OF that war. We now use
four times as much nitrogen for fer
tilizer and twice as much for other
purposes.

soul. He wondered if the American
people realized the terrible serious
ness of the present conflict and if
they will be able to stand up and
fight and keep on fighting until
victory is won. He was confident
they could and would.
Mr.. Krall spoke briefly in regard
to civil defense of which he is coun-
ty chairman.
During the introduction of large
number of the delegates, Mr.. Mel
ton took occasion to commend Otto
Griep of Libby for his always faith
full work in Union activities. He
also praised Harry Moe for his good
work as OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of the
Council. Mrs. Gordon Luscher was
asked to arise and take bow in
honor of the work her husband had
given when he was a state organ
izer, he now being in the army.
PATRIOTISM WAS KEYNOTE
One thing stood out particularly
as the keynote of the meeting and
that was the spirit of patriotism. 1t
was mentioned in nearly all of the
talks. James Kanaley, president of
the District Council, said that labor
has won great strength and prestige
in recent years and that with that
strength goes corresponding re-
sponsibility to the nation. He said
labor must take on those RESPONSE
bilities. He also said federal reg
ulation is coming and that he is
not opposed to the right kind of
regulation.
Mr.. Melton said that labor should
realize that on its shoulders rests
the destiny of America and of the
world, because of the critical need
for production
Another sentiment was voiced by
one speaker in answering the criti-
cism sometimes heard. He said la
Dor is composed of patriotic human
beings. that they have sons right
out on the fighting front, fighting
and dying, and said how could it be
asked that labor could lay down on
the job of production when such a
terrible responsibility was on their
shoulders.
The speaker OF the evening was
Mike Mansfield, democratic candi-
date for congress. Mr. Mansfield
said he did not intend to refer to
politics and would discuss only our
war in the Pacific He had visited
/ the Orient a number of years age
and has first hand knowledge OF
conditions there. He praised the
Chinese highly for the magnificent
fight they are putting up, and ex-
flained conditions in the Far East
/ He pleaded for complete and about
support Of the boys who are fight
ing to save our Liberties and said

"The decision expands and liber-
allies the Workmen's Compensation

The Appeals Court, in deciding
the case, quoted numerous others,
one Of which, from Scotland. in
volved the death of a man from
pneumonia contracted by working
in icy water. The disease was held
accidental by the court, which said:
"The present case could never
