ADDED POTATO
 STORAGE URGED
Dorothy Moss Gives Warn ing to Avoid Shortage
 in Borough

Plan now to store the potatoes needed by your family, 1t is urged by the Food Conservation Units of the State War Council, Dorothy Moss, local chief, announced today. Although there are plenty of late potatoes being harvested in New England for the winter supply, the warehouses will not hold more than a small amount of the crop and the rest will be shipped to other parts of the country. If residents of Naugatuck wish to avoid 6 shortage of potatoes, 1t will be necessary for many to plan adequate storage fa- cilities in their homes.
 Purchase only late potatoes and only the best grades for storing. Place your order - at least one bushel for each member of the family - with your local dealer so he can arrange to get potatoes in large quantities as needed now on orders. Storage space must be pre- pared carefully. The bulletin "Stor- age of Amateur Gardeners" gives some information on this subject and may be obtained from the local war councils information office in the Telephone Building.
 Tn general, potatoes should be stored in boxes or bins which are well ventilated and kept in the dark. dark. Floors and sidewalks of po- tato storage should be slated and kept at least four inches from the floor and sidewalks of the building to insure ventilation.
 By storing potatoes you cannot only obtain them more cheaply, but also insure a supply for your own family and aid the northeast in storing that part of the crop which might otherwise have to be shipped out of the area.

FACTS ABOUT
PASSENGER CAR TIRES

The synthetic rubber tire is not yet an improve
ment but it will keep your car rolling through the
emergency.
In many respects, the new synthetic rubber tires
are an unknown quantity.
How they would behave at the phenomenaly
high speeds Of prewar days is purely academic The
patriotic citizen knows that high speeds out his
treads far faster than the recommended speed of
IS miles per hour, and drives accordingly.
differentiation, driving over rough roads, and
other abuses are bad for all tires-but todays evil
dence is that synthetic tires will stand less Of these
abuses than the tires you have been used to.
But, since these tires will be rationed to you in
trust for the nation it will be your duty to take
every possible care of them, and to prevent mis-
use and abuse.
AS we gain experience with synthetic rub
Der tires, more and more things will become known
about them, and the public will be kept informed.
If you use synthetic rubber tubes, be sure they
are properly installed They should be put into the
tire, then inflated debated, and inflated again. And
they should never be mounted on rusty rims.

This is the situation today-the rubber supply
crisis is past but the long predicted and anticipated
tire shortage is with us.
Why is this so, when thousands of tons of Gov
eminent synthetic rubber are now being made?
Why is this so, when the rubber industry is pro-
ducing tremendous tonnage of rubber products and
more arplane and truck tires than ever before?
Because, as the Baruch Committee foresaw-
the fact that few tires could be made until
had synthetic rubber supply well the
way, resulted in millions of tires going out of
service without replacement-and those
manning have less mileage in them. inventories
of prewar tires are gone
Because our military needs are way beyond any
ones anticipatons
their manpOwer and machines to make bullet
sealing gas tanks and hundreds of other rubber
products for war, In addition to tires.
Because half of today's requirements are for
heavy duty, large-size truck, bus, combat, artil
lery, and arplane tires requiring many, many
times the labor and materials of peacetime
needs and finally
Because the manpower shortage hangs over the
tire industry as it does all industry, and there
are just too few hands for the job.

FACTS ABOUT TRUCK
AND BUS TIRES

On truck and bus tires, particularly in overtime
road nter-city service the situation is less salts
factory.
Truck and bus tires are operated under more
conditions than passenger tires. They
heavier, thicker-generate more heat They are all
too frequently overloaded, must travel on any kind
of highway their work requires.
Again we'll be perfectly frank about it: synthetic
truck and bus tires now built will not stand all the
abuse that the prewar tire would take, especially
overlooking. Progress is being made every day-but
overlooking which damaged prewar tire can ruin
today's synthetic rubber tire.
The Tire Industry is bending every effort to
solve the serious problems of furnishing satisfactory
and sufficient tires to the truck and bus field
But serious threat still exists to our most vital
transportation.
So remember this-while the treads of pres
ent truck and bus tires are vitality important, the
carcasses Of these tires have a value to our truck
operators and to the nation, that is beyond price.
Unless these tires are made to last and last there is
almost certain to be breakdown Of truck service.
Every one Of these tires must be recapped the
very minute it needs it-before any damage is
done to the carcass. Speeds must be cut down,
especially hot roads. Overloads must be
eliminated. Proper initiation is necessity.
Operators garage men, drivers, all have heavy
responsibility that they cannot now avoid. These
are straightforward statements. The warning must
not go unheeded. A new tire warranty recognizes
these conditions, but the real job is conservation
