Au-5ynthetic Tires
Will Stand Heavy
Use, LETTERS Says
By the Associated Press.


Rubber Director William M. JEFF
fers said today that the all-synthetic
tires on which millions of motorists
will be rolling next year will come
close to prewar variability.
Should it become possible to lift
the 35-mile-an-hour speed limit, Mr..
Jeffers told reporters, drivers could
run "at normal speeds" on synthetic
castings without fear of tire failure.
He didn't define normal speeds.
Increased familiarity of tiremak-
ers with the new material and con-
slant research Improvements, Mr..
Jeffers said, will put synthetic about
on par with crude rubber for mil
cage.
Scores Criticism.
Reports that the war-born tires
would have to be trundled along at
covered wagon speeds were dis
missed as plain hooey."
They'll be able to stand up under
ordinary care and treatment" Mr..
Jeffers said. ...----
Early synthetic tires showed a
life of about $4,000 miles under test
ing, but the rubber chief pointed
out that manufacturers were work
ing with strange material then.
But now, he added, they have
learned lot"
After a conclave of company and
rubber union workers. Mr.. Jeffers
said agreement had been reached
for substantial reduction" of the
proposed s95, 5,OOO,000 tire factory ex-
pansion program.
Unions Had Objected.
The unionists had objected to the
building of new plants where their
locals would not be established and
contended that next years produc-
ton goal of 30,O00000 synthetic tires
could be met by installation of ma
chinery in existing plants.
The management spokesmen agreed
to review their expansion plans and
eliminate any new plants not alb
solutely necessary. Mr.. Jeffers, in a
formal statement, said he was hope
full that trimmed-doWn program
would result which would 'measur-
ably avoid expanding the industry
away from its presently fixed loca-
tions."
AS an immediate step, workers and
management agreed on measures to
speed up present output so as to
exceed this years goal of 100000
synthetic tires
The expansion plan is intended to
provide enough machinery and plant
facilities SO that rubber companies
can meet civilian needs without
slackening work on their huge mil
itarE orders

President told Carol that it would be all right for
him 70 come along.
Carol came with the President.
But the society set Of Mexico offered felci-

next they shook hands with Senior Padilla, Minister
OF Foreign Relations.
"EX-Klng Carol was standing next to Padia.
He was dressed as a king, decorations and all
and naturally he expected to be treated as such.

Now you shall have the truth. The fact is that
the King hates all newspaper people. In his country
he could control them and he cannot cope with any
other arrangement

MONTGOMERY SIDELIGHTS
: BIZ ELSIE WHITE HAINEs-

In some districts-Potomac for in
Washingtonians have come
out and turned the farms into
estates. Most of these people
go into the city every day-some
laughingly remark that they "work
harder than ever now that they
have a farm to support"
Small villages like Damascus,
Cedar Grove, Woodfield and dozens
of others have many new small
homes where live government
workers, the plumbers, carpenters
and other artisans who go into the
city daily. With automobiles and
good roads they are only one hour
from Washington. Indeed, the
county is becoming so "citifed''
that we do not know where one
could find set of by Gosh
whiskers or an "honest to good
ness" sunbonnet.
But how about New Year reso-
lutions or do you not make any
Ours has to do with the improve
nent of this column-hope it works
out. And now for the fifth time

New Year"
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1943-12-30

Well, here we are on the thres-
hold of brand new year! Upper
most in the hearts of us all is the
hope that this coming year will see
the end of the war. Next we begin
70 wonder what changes the year
will bring to our homes-our towns
our country.
When Montgomery County was
created, from a part of Frederick,
in 1776 it's population was less
than 10000 virtually all rural" so
says early history-but we wonder
# that included Georgetown, for
that port was then a part of Mont
gomery. 1t was not until 1880 that
substantial growth was noted.
With the improvement in transpor-
tation facilities and the increase in
government personnel more recent
decades have seen the population
soar. Between 1880 and 1910 it
grew from 1926 to 83,912-a
growth exceeding that of the pre-
ceding lao years. 1t now has
reached over 100000 according to
the sugar books, and is growing
daily.
A decade ago a Washington
newspaper man, who still covers
the county for his paper, predicted
that Montgomery would become a
residential county-we could not
see it-Montgomery had always
been agricultural-what of the
farms that had been for genera
tons held by members of the same
family? What of the upper end
of the county seemingly so re-
NOTED?
The prediction is fast coming
true, the county's population has
almost doubled in the last ten years
helped along by the war of
course. If you think we are still
farming county just look around
your own neighborhood, how many
farms are owned by the people who
held them ten years ago? How
many of the present owners actu-
ally make their living on those
farms?
