June Tire Quota Is
Already Exhausted
Walter w. Dawson Explains War
Ration Boards Position in
Issuance of Certificates

Garrett county's June quota for
new truck and passenger tires, re-
treads and recars is exhausted, Walter
w. Dawson, war ration board chair
man, announced this morning, and the
applications greatly outnumber the
monthly quota.
Mr.. Dawson pointed out the number
of tires and tubes for which a local
board may issue certificates is de-
tcrminod by a monthly quota. The
shortage of rubber caused such quotas
to be decreased and now some of the
most vital needs of the community
are left unsuppIied. Thus many per-
sons eligible to receive tires and re-
treads. under the provisions Of the tire
ratiouing regulations, must go with
out, he said.
When the quota has been exhausted
the board cannot issue a certificate.
The July quota will not be released
until after today and it is expected
to be lower than that of June.
The board cautioned all eligible
motorists to have their tires recapped
when the tread design has just about
disappeared, when the casing is sound
and free from fabric breaks and the
side walls free from cuts, when the
beads are whole and unbent,

 There are times when news cen sorship ties some of the Washing ton boys in knots. There must be times when it has the readers won dering. But who would have thought there would be day when it had the Chief Executive laugh ing over futile efforts to unravel a verbal snarl.
 It happened several days back when the President was trying to tell quite seriously about how he drove his own car at 35 miles an hour and at that maximum speed for rubber conservation had 22 cars trying to pass him. Qts a Secret Service safety rule of the road that no car is allowed to pass the Presidents car It's also a Se- cret Service censorship rule that NO ONE can mention the where abouts of the President when he is or was out of WashingtonD
 The President was talking to his press conference-very seriously
