PLAN SYNTHETIC RUBBER
PLANTS

The synthetic rubber industry Is
prepared to replace our shortage of
the real article as quickly and eff
GENTLY as possible, says E. R.
Bridgewater, manager of the rubber
chemicals division for du Point.
There are five types of imitation
rubber which have had widespread
commercial use in the United States
and the industry is prepared to pro-
duce, Mr. Bridgewater says, 100000
tons annually by 1943. Jesse Jones,
RFC Administrator, has said that
that agency is ready to supply some
$4OO,000,000 to build more plants.
However, warnings have been is
sued that rubber substitutes will be
lacking in many qualities of the
genuine product, and many of the
shortcomings are evident now. OFF,
Gals do not expect that substitutes
will serve as well as the natural
product in it's thousands of uses,
though there are synthetic rubbers
made which are superior to real
rubber in certain products. Tires
made of neoprene in 1884 are, in
some cases, still in use by the Army.
And during the last eighteen months
tires made of Buna S type of syn
thetic rubber have been widely sold.

PLANES AND AVIATION CADETS

'Okay, mister. You've heard that
we'll have plenty of planes" M.
Sgt. c. l.. Kessler, Baltimore, Md,
told Journal reporter today, speak
ing with determined jut to his jaw.
Nov we're going to get the pilots
for them-and lot of them are going
to come from Rising Sun, If I can
do anything about it,"
Sgt Kessler glanced at stack of
Aviation Cadet application blanks
piled upon his desk and continued
his discourse. "No plane was ever
built that was worth the metal 1t
used up, unless there was man
around to take it up into the air and
make 1t do what it was supposed to
do. American planes are the best in
the world and American pilots are
the most capable. But neither one
of these is any good for our job
without the other. That's why
have been told to get going on the
matter of securing applications for
fight training in the Army"
Mister" he added, tits pleas
ure"
Young men of Rising Sun, he
pointed out, can qualify for appoint
ment as Aviation Cadets by passing
physical and educational examina-
tons. They must be between the
ages of eighteen and twenty-six.
They will receive SIS a month,
board, room and dental and medical
care during their training, at the
completion of which they will be
commissioned second lieutenants in
the Air Corps Reserve and take
their places among the fighting pi-
lots of the U. S. Army.
"Send 'em to me-" Sgt. Kessler
said, "I'll give them the details and
we'll soon find out if they qualify"
"But Aviation Cadets alone are
not enough to keep EN- Flying!"
Sgt. Kessler added.
''The Air Corps needs lot of 9TH
er men, too. Bombardiers, naviga-
tors, observers, cameramen, me-
chanics, armorers, weather obser-
vers, and many others. figure al
most every young man in this town
can find a place where he fits in the
Air Corps--or in the Army at large,
for that matter--if he takes the
trouble to come up here and figure
it out with me-"
when they say Keep EN- Fly
ing it isn't just as easy as saying it.
1t takes men to do it. Well, we have
men in Rising Sun and we're Just
the ones to do 1t, too"

RAT1oN1NG VS.. BOARDING

The sugar stamps or coupons now
promised by Washington will come
too late to nip the hoarders VINO
have made it necessary for some
Americans to go without sugar lat
civ. The folk who have been sailing
away sugar may have some OF 1t
left. after the rationing plan gets
started. If they have that KIND Oh
consciences, they may for a time
enjoy their supply while neighbors
get along on their coupons. But II ra-
tioning is severe they are likely soon
to get no pleasure out of boasting
of boarding. If it is mild, they Will
not appear very smart, even to them
selves.
For some time Washington esti-
mated that there would be less than
a 10 per cent shortage over the year.
Fortune Magazine, in an illumlnat-
ing study of sugar supplies, hgures
that Americans will get about 30
mounds of sugar year per person
as against normal consumption OF
100 pounds. This would leave more
than a pound and a half per week
for every American, if all of it were
available for rations. But about one
fourth of the consumption is in the
form of candy, canned foods and soft
drinks. Hotels and bakeries also
take sugar which the housewife
never sees.
The ration most frequently men
toned for Americans is a pound a
week. This is nearly double the
British ration and no American is
likely to suffer particularly from
lack of sugar. The ration could be
increased by using more grain in
stead of molasses for making alco-
hol.
Unofficial rationing by retailers
failed to stop the hoarders. An I'M
official system may be nuisance
but it should be fairer for it will de-
pend on the actual number OF per-
sons in family, not on how often
somebody goes shopping. Hoarders
are now operating on some otner
commodities, and Washing n
should profit by the experience with
sugar to get ahead of them. II there
are real shortages, the Government
should institute rationing before
talking about shortages. If supplies
are adequate it should give out con-
yincing figures which will make
boarding foolish. The Monitor.

ARMoRY HORSE SHOW

The Sixth Annual 10th F. A.
Armory Horse Show will be held
this year for the benefit of the Army
Relief Society, it was announced
today by Samuel S. Murray, Chair
man of the Committee.
The Show, which is one Of the out
standing affairs of it's kind in this
section, has been schenuled for
March 20, Il and 20 at the Pixies
vile Armory, former home station
of the 10th F. A.
Last year the Show was held for
the benefit of British War Relief.
However, since the United States
became involved in World War II,
the burden on the Army Relief So
ciety has become increasingly heavy,
and the Committee felt, according to
Mr.. Murray, that this would be an
appropriate organization to receive
the proceeds from the Horse Show.
The Army Relief Society," was
founded at the close of the Span
ish-American War, and was incorp-
Grated in 1900. 1t collects funds and
provides relief in case Of emergency
for dependent widows and orphans
of officers and enlisted men of the
Army OF the United States.

INsIDIOUs LITERATURE

Insidious literature paraphrasing
public conduct during an air RAID
is being distributed throughout
Maryland, Colonel Henry S. Barrett,
State Director of Air-Raid Precau-
ton Services, revealed today. He
urged all citizens to investigate the
source of such material when 1t is
handed to them. The instructions
are a parody on those issued by the
Maryland Council of Defense, and
among the supposedly humorous
items are Instructions to throw
gasoline on an incendiary bomb and
to always get excited and yell bloody
murder in order to scare the kids.
"This literature is contradictory
to the thinking Of serious minded
persons who are aware of the dang
ers confronting Maryland during
these perilous times, said Colonel
Barrett. Air Raids are too serious
too grim business to joke about.
The plight of helpless children sub
ject to the dangers of flying bomb
fragments and the spectacle OF
shreiking bombs falling through
apartment buildings fail miserably
to incite laughter.
1--WE are not asking the citizens OF
Maryland to suspend their sense OF
humor, for this attribute is bless
ing in face of danger. But material
of the type being circulated defeats
the purpose of your defense groups
in getting people prepared for any
eventuality. To me it smacks of 9Th
column propaganda.
Il urge all patriotic citizens to
help find out who is distributing this
sort of literature and report it to
your local defense councils or to the
Maryland Council of Defense"

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO sup
PLY FIRE FIGHTING APP
PARATUS, MEDICAL SUP
PLIES, ETC.

FLlES, Ell.
Governor Herbert r. O'Conor has
announced the selection of State
Comptroller ]. Willard Tawes, to
act as a representative of the State
of Maryland in connection with the
distribution of auxiliary fire fighting
equiment, medical supplies, protec-
tive clothing, and other articles to
be sent to this State by the Office Of
Civilian Defense in Washington,
Mayor LaGuardia, as United States
Director of Civilian Defense, re-
quested Governor O'Conor to name
a State officer, through whom the
material and supplies could be dis
tributed. Under measures now adopt
ed by the Office of Civilian Defense,
this supply of equipment and cloth
ing will be sent to the States for
the protection of persons and prop
erty from bombing attacks.
Inasmuch as Maryland is in the
target area" with other States on
the Atlantic Seaboard, it is expected
that this section will receive the first
allotments to be made from the
Office of Civilian Defense.
In selecting Comptroller Tawes,
Governor O'Conor pointed out that
the Comptroller's experience in ac-
counting work would facilitate the
work. Furthermore, the Governor
emphasized, a large portion of the
equipment and supplies will be for
fire protection. Comptroller Tawes
was formerly the President of the
State Volunteer Firemen's Associa-
ton and is we'll informed on all
questions pertaining to fire fighting
operations, Governor O'Conor de-
clared.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE

In a report to the Maryland Coun-
Gil OF Defense on the Activities of
the Emergency Medical Service, DR..
Charles Reed Edwards states, che
is greatly impressed and pleased
with the efficiency and rapidity with
the response from the counties, who
have certainly not waited for Balti-
more to point the way"
Nearly all the counties now have
their physicians and nurses well or
ganized in team to serve in desig-
mated casualty stations which are
for the most part already equipped.
Those counties which have hospitals
have taken pains to organize their
personnel for emergency duty, aug
ment the existing facilities for hand
ling casualties and selected sites
where patients might be evacuated
in case the hospitals were overtaxed
or damaged.

SOME TAX EXEMPT ITEMS
FOR PERPLEXED MOTORISTS

With the Federal income tax
highest in history, Keystone Auto
mobile Club comes to the financial
rescue of motorists by pointing out
items which Uncle Sam has de-
clared to be non-taxable.
Perplexed taxpayers are advised
to be careful in the selection of the
income tax forms they fill out. Under
Form 1040, they can claim the
numerous motor vehicle deductions
outlined by the Club, but if they
elect to use Optional Form 1O40A---
for gross incomes not exceeding
$3000---they cannot make the de-
auctions. Under the latter form the
tax is determined by reference to a
schedule printed on the back of the
return. 1t is fixed by the amount of
income less certain exemptions for
dependents.
Harrison G. Kildare, counsel for
the Club, says the following items
may be deducted from gross in

FARM LABOR SUPPLIED BY
EMPLOYMENT SERVICE

Farmers or THIS region caIlou
upon to produce more food to win
the war for democracy will be aided
in securing needed farm workers
through plans announced today by
James H. Woodall, Regional Repre-
sentative, u. s. Employment Service,
for Maryland, North Carolina, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, and the Dis
trict of Columbia
AS a part of a Nationwide expan-
sion and streamlining of the Social
Security Boards u. S. Employment
Service, Mr. Woodall said that the
States of Region Nv will be provided
with special additional services for
the finding and placing of compet-
ent agricultural workers. Through
the new plans, Mr.. Woodall explain
ed, local farmtrs may hire not only
local workers, but will be able to
draw upon the labor resources of the
entire Nation if necessary. Since
the U. S. Employment Service, of
which this region is a part, covers
the entire Nation, farm workers
also will be saved the wasted efforts
and suffering that always comes
with undirected migration.
To carry out this program, Mr..
Woodall has announced the appoint
ment of Mr.. C. w. e. Pittman of
North Carolina as Regional Farm
Placement Representative. 1t will
be the Regional Farm Placement
Representative responsibility to
see that all the available local labor
is used, and that finding workers to
fill farm jobs is not hampered by
State lines.
According to Mr.. Woodall the Re-
gional Farm Replacement Repre-
sentative is part of completely
reorganized Nationwide machinery.
For purposes Of carrying out this
program, the country has been d.
vided into eleven regions, each of
which will be headed by a Federal
representative. Plans also call for
the appointment of a farm place
ment supervisor in each State of
the Union. Each of the 1900 full
time employment offices in this
country, which are coordinated by
the U. s. Employment Service, and
which serves an agricultural area,
will have person on its staff who
will be responsible for meeting the
needs of farmers and farm workers.
with America at war;, Woodall
said, agricultural labor problems
can no longer be looked upon as a
concern only of agricultural States.
Filling farm jobs in the coming
months can be done only if we go
about it as we have done in finding
workers to man industry's assembly
lines--through the use of the ma
chinery of the Employment Service
To avoid waste of time and to
speed up the, agricultural production
program, Woodall urged both farm
workers and farm employers to use
the facilities of their local employ
ment offices.
