SCRAPE UP THE SCRAP
FOR YOUR OWN GOOD

Have you got an old rubber mat you
can get along without? How about the
floor mat on your car-do you really
have to have it? Maybe you've got an
old tire lying around that the youngsters
have been playing with, or a pair Of
crepe-rubber soled shoes you can Sacrl-
flee, or some old preserve Jar rings.
Bring em in! Bring in everything you
can that's got rubber in it, and if you're
in doubt about the rubber content, play
safe and bring it in anyway. Leave it at
the nearest service station.
You'll lie doing yourself a big favor
everytime you toss out a bit of rubber
for the nations growing scrap pile. You'll
be helping to foreStall national gasoline
rationing, for one thing. It's lot easier
to collect all the rubber around your
place than it will be later ON if you've got
to confine yourself to what driving you
can do on three gallons of gasoline week.
For another thing, and a more import
ant one, you'll be helping to keep the
nations war machine rolling at top speed
toward victory. Our highest military
officials have declared that they need
more rubber for production of tanks and
arms, and they need It quickly
This scrap rubber collection campaign
is the real thing It's not even a distant
cousin of the late unlamented aluminium
drive. America needs every ounce of rub
her it can lay its hands on and it needs
the rubber now. The need is pressing.
There is not the slightest question Of it.
We've got to dig up the rubber-or
elsei
The first day of the collection drive went
over big. But the first day isn't going to
do one little bit of good unless the days
that follow show an equally big turn-in
of scrap rubber. This is not ona-shot
campaign. It's got to continue full speed
until the end. If it doesn't, the military
organization will suffer and the civilians
will be walking instead of riding in nigh
ty short order.
Scrape the bottom of your scrap heap
for rubber An elastic band is not too
small, and top-size cid truck tire isn't
too big Whatever you've got that's got
rubber in il, bring it in. America needs
it.

Commissioned In
Request to Take

Edwin M. Daugherty, California
commissioner of corporations. Tues
day asked for termination of pro-
ct sdings incident to petitions fol-
voluntary dissolution of the Peoples
Finance and Thrift company Of
Imperial valley and asked the I'M
perial county superior court for
permission to take possession of the
property and business.
The commissioner alleged that
the Peoples Finance and Thrift
company was organized under the
industrial loan act and as such
was subject to the supervision OF
the commissioner. Daugherty said
that about May 13 he went over
the affairs of the company and
found the alleged capital impaired

S. Burton Heath
Writes:

AS the Supreme Courts five to
four division suggests, there were
conflicting issues involved in the
question whether communities have
the right to impose q license fee
upon the distribution Of religious
| literature.
Opelika, Ala, charged a S. fee
from transient book agents. Fort
Smith, Ark, voted a pedulers IL
cense of $3.50 a day, $40 a week
or $25 a month. Casa Grande, Ariz.,
charged transient merchants $25
quarterly as a license fee.
Jehovahs Witnesses, a minority
sect which has been a frequent
source of strife throughout the
country, distributed rehg Gus litera-
ture and asked contributions in
return The witnesses were re-
auired to pay the peddlers fees.
They went to court. Five justices
ruled that the fees were conStitu-
J tional, while four disscnted strongly
The language OF the majority
opinion, written by Justice Reed, is
startling in its apparent contraVen-
j ton of the constitutional guaran-
tees of freedom CT speech and of
religion, which. the analysis holds,
are not absolute but subject to
abridgement
We doubt whether Justice Reed
and his four associates meant what
they appeared to mean. The un-
fortunate thing is that men so
highly placed, presumed to be so
meticulous in their selection of
words, should have used phr lses
capable of double meaning, which
nav arise for generations 10 plague

Unuuestionably communities have

AlRPLANE CARRIERS

The world is reluctant to abandon tradi
ton.
That fact-the fact that it is the whole
world, and not just few people in Amer
ica-seems to t2 our salvation in the mat
ter of naval warfare.
Batt'nships have been demonstrated to
be pretty poor opponents for massed air
plane strength in this conflict. Airplane
carriers have twice as much sting and vir-
tually the same protection which battle
ships, enjoy. The Coral Sea battle, the
battle of Midway, the cases of the Re-
pulse and the Prince of Wales, the Med
lterranean battle of this week, the Aleu-
tian battle-all of them prove that
strength at sea lies in airplanes now.
Our naval chieftains had to have it
proved to them before they could believe
it. But then, so did the naval chieftans
of all the otkcr powers even those of the
Axis. Therein is our salvation-there and
in the blessed fact that we can change
faster, and produce the aircraft carriers
in greater number, with greater speed,
than our enemy
A lot of prophets are coming into honor
in their own countries these days. 1t is
only too bad that there was not some way
in ncaC otime to prove what we had to
wait for wartime to leaTn-that old ways
are outmoded.

Save Waste Fats,
Housewives Urged

WASHINGTON, June l7-UP)-
The War Production Board todav
appealed to housewives to save and
sell waste fats from home cooking
as a war conservation measure.
Lessing j. Rosenwald, chief of the
WPB industrial conservation bu-
reau, said a program to recover and
use the estimated 100000 600
pounds of cooking fats wasted each
year would be started early in July
War in the Pacific he said, has
seriously reduced imports of fats
and oils from the Far East."a
R3senWald said that housewives
could sell waste fats to neighbOr-
hood food stores, meat markets, and
frozen food locke.s. These stores,
he explained, would sell the fats
to renderers who would process
them for use in making glycerine,
vital Ingredient in explosives.

COMMENC CEMENT
DIFFERENT THIS YEAR
(Humboldt. Eureka, Times)

(Humboldt. Eureka Times)
June and commencement exercises
throughout the nation finds Americas
young men and women saying farewell
to their accustomed places of learning
prepared to commence their life work in
their chosen professions
Service is the keynote of the age. The
graduates Of today are facing n practical
world that requires the practical applica-
ton of learning in all the sciences and
rapidly expanding industries of the ma
ton.
A crisis that will prove the mettle Of
all Americans is facing this nation. Unity
must be the watchWord Selfish motives
and personal self-seeking must give way
TO unSelfiSh service that we may go for
ward and demonstrate to the entire world
what a free people in a united democracy
can accomplish.
Problems have been met and solved in
every generation. Perhaps this is law
that has to be experienced. 1t keeps us
ION our toes so to speak and without
the problems we would become mer1
fence-posts with little opportunity for
growth or development.
We feel confident that the 1912 grad
uates will accept the challenge of our
time with courage and will be capable
of facing their difficulties bravely and
intelligently and that each obstacle will
be overcome as it arises.
To all graduates we might add: Am2ri-
ca needs brains, Drawn and youth Find
your place and do what you can. Serve
where you are best fitted to serve-and
with the consciousness that in your SER
vice YOU are participating in the great
est struggle the world has even seen
and the stakes are to decide whether you
and | and unborn generations of the fut-
uro are to be free men or slaves!
Best wishes and good luck to the grad

BRITISH-AMERICAN POOLING
Christian Science Monitor)

(ChrSuan Science MOnltOr)
London and Washington take this war
seriously. President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill are so intent on Win
ming it that they are putting meaning
into the name United Nations Witness
the measures just announced for inte-
grating British and American production,
food, and weapons
The simple meaning is that production
will be so co-ordinated as to make the
most of joint resources. Each will spe-
cialiZe on what it can do best, thus saw
ing duplicating or conflicting efforts.
extra burden on shipping will be avoid
ed. For instance both are doing we'll in
the production Of tanks and both will
keep on, each supplying the United Ma
tions fronts most accessible.
One inevitable question from soma
Americans will be, What can Britain
furni,h? So far Britain has had 4 larger
war production than the United States
and has contributed more in supplies and
shipping to the United Nations. American
forces in many parts of the world will
continue to ta dependent primarily on
Britain even for food and spare parts
of their equipment. Increasing standard
iZation Cf equipment will save shipping.
Even q little consideration makes plain
the advantages of co-Ordinated Droduc-
tion in the common war effort This CO.
operation may indeed prove so helpful
that continuing much of it NAV be recog-
niZed as essential in winning the peace.
