Grafton of which rubber tires or
tubes are essential.
Fair to All
Officials say that if tires and
tubes were not rationed there
would be a mad scramble to buy
and to hoard tires. People who
came first, or who had friends in
the tire business, or who had the
most money could get the tires.
Others, who might be more deserv-
ing, or more in need, would be left
without. That's just an example,
says the. United States News. The
same situation will begin to apply
to other products III the months
ahead
'Rationing is based on a definite
plan to distribute equitably the
available supply of any rationed
commodity, to keep public serv-
ices operating and, equally impor-
tant, to distribute the hardships that
comes from material shortages dur
ing war.

POSTWAR WILL
 BRING PROSPERITY
Harvard Business School Prof. Sees Several Good
 Years

Boston, Oct. 7-CUP-Melvin T Copeland, professor of marketing al Harvard Business school, predicts a postwar period of general prosper lty that will last several years.
 Speaking at the closing session oi the 14th annual Boston conference on distribution yesterday, Copeland said he could see no reason for a prolonged industrial let-down "i1 we apply the same energy and re- SourcefulneSS to the resumption ot civilian business when the war is over as has been shown since the attack on Pearl Harbor.'
 He warned that the "switchback stage will be a crucial one taking between six months to a year. How ever, he said that stage would be followed by a period of general prosperity which will last for sev- eral years at leaSt.'
 Many new products will be com ing on the market and new ways of business will appear" Copeland said. We must win the war first, Eut as soon as {. it is over let us get our salesmen on the road immediately. The energetic sellers will find plenty of willing buyers and sales will mean jobs."
 Leo M. Cherne of New York, ex- ecutive secretary of the Research Institute of America, believed that peace would bring private enter prise its most critical challenge. Tt will be do or die" then, he said. and private enterprise will have to have brains, guts, imagination, vigor and resourcefulness to survive"

of the drive are the East End, Wash ington Park, Hopeville, West Side Hill, Bucks Hill and the Bunker Hill Improvement association, the Over look Cottage Park club and the Mary Abbott club. The boy Scout troop of the Corp. Coyle post of the American Legion and the Sons of the Legion have also offered to aid in collecting the metal and bringing it to central point. Many other Boy Scout troops have already been aiding in the drive by distributing scrap cards and also gathering metal.
 Quick Consumption
 A single open-hearth furnace uses 100 tons of scrap every day. At the quota of 100 pounds of scrap metal from a family, it would take 2,000 families to keep a single furnace going one day. Unless these furnaces are kept running, production of war materials vital for our victory will drop greatly.
 Preliminary returns on scrap drives in other parts of the country have placed Pennsylvania in the foreground with Al, 1885 tons col lected, or 286 pounds per capita. In second place is Michigan with 40,000 tons, or 15.2 pounds per person, while Maryland follows in third place with 12,834 tons, or 1S pounds per person.
 The money which is obtained from the sale of the scrap will be turned over to some service organi- zation. After the last scrap drive, $2,500 was turned over to Navy re- lief.

collecting, the scrap may register by calling the Civilian Defense Headquarters on Church street 1-0e09.
 Suggests Clubs
 Tn sections of the city where &here are no community clubs, Ray mond J. Tanning, director of the drive, urged that neighborhood scrap clubs be formed to gather the metal. He reminded the peo- ple to take the initiative them selves, and not wait until they are told what to do.
 At . scouters' mobilization held last night, Tanning explained that there were three phases to the scrap drive, publicity, organization and location, and collection. The pub acity and organization of the drive have been completed, and the loca- ton is almost over. Most of the locating work is being done by the Junior Commandos, who are cov- ering the city house to- house, find Ing out approximately how much Dcrap is available in each home. The householders are filling in cards giving information as to the scrap m their home. The cards are all being taken to a central point where they will be sorted. Ar engagements can then be made to remove heavier pieces of scrap parately.
 The smaller scrap items will be hken to central scrap depots by the lolunteer groups, from which point will be collected on Oct. IT. Among he community clubs which have al- eady offered their aid in this phase
