Tire Outlook

announcement is made by one of the great
tire manufacturing firms that the discovery
of new process for synthetic rubber will
speed the time that private motor car owners
may get new tires. The process consists of
adding carbon black, which gives tires better
wearing qualities to rubber while in LIQUID
stage
Heretofore carbon black has had to be
ground into dry rubber at heavy expense and
with loss of valuable production time. The
new process, it is claimed, will result in a
IS per cent reduction in milling time, and
equal percentage cut in manpower on milling
operations, 20 per cent reduction in power
consumption and lower production costs
Now what the public would enjoy learning
is that equal Improvement is in sight for
new cars. These buses have about reached
the limit of their endurance Every time
something goes wrong it is little worse than
the last time, which means larger bills for
repairs and uncertainty as to when another
breakdown will come
MOST auto owners are conserving their cars
as well as they can, doing as little driving as
possible and giving attention to mechanical
needs. But many cars are so old and have tn
be used in necessary travel so regularly that
they cannot hold out much longer. With the
war rapidly nearing the end it would seem
that auto production for private owners MIGHT
be stepped up without jeopardizing the war
effort.

Air Service Postponed

Because Of military necessity Wilmington
will have to forego commercial air service
presumably for the duration.
Although the National Airlines is soon te
have its planes aloft on regular schedules be-
tween New York and the Florida peninsula,
with Wilmington on the route, no stop will be
made because of the Arrnys increasing use
of Bluethenthal airport.
Philadelphia and Norfolk are in the same
fix but the loss is keener here as the other
cities have air service while Wilmington has
none and had definitely counted upon getting
it when National received the CAB blessing
for its new route.
If the Army needs the airport exclusively
and if it's use by the Army can speed the
victory, the city has no sound reason to
complain. But the situation is another good
reason for getting this war over with in a
hurry.

Daily Prayer
FOR HIGH HEARTS

AS we bow before Thy tarone,
O Father eternal, and Ruler over
all, we pray for a fresh illumina-
ton of our spirits. Give us high
hearts, sustained by Thee. De-
liver us from all jadedness and
war WEAKNESS and furgetfullness
of the holy aims for which we
wage war. Let not discourage
ment defeat us, or any mean or
purely personal spirit. Whether
we fight on the front line or do
humdrum duties at home, may we
be exalted by the consciousness
that we are laborers together with
Thee in bringing to pass a new
world, like unto the pattern set by
Thee. May no little cares impair
our vision of our great goals. Sane
tify all our service by the knowl-
edge that it is done in Thy name
and for the fulfilment of Thy will.
Amen.-W.T.E.

French Underground

!. The perform ance of the French under ground,
since word was given for its emergence as
a fighting force in the liberation of its nation
from the German yoke, has been one OF the
surprising elements contributing materially to
the winning of the Battle of France what
has given the French underground its strength
is ably told by Andre Lebord one OF the
underground leaders and member of the
French mission and released under copyright
by the North american Newspaper Alliance
from the pen of Leland Stowe.
At the expense OF space we are quoting
literally from this article that our readers
may have clear picture Of the terrible con-
ditions that have reused it to fury:
'The secret of the moral strength OF the
French resistance is difficult, l think, for
Americans to understand. The Norwegians, the
Czechs and Poles, the Russians, the Yugoslavs
and the Greeks all understand They know
the Germans.
They have seen the executions OF their faml-
lies and neighbors. They have seen German
soldiers commit any crime that their officers
ordered. They know the torture methods of
the Gestapo.
Germans. Perhaps your editors will not want
to print it but tell yo6 what is fact: in
Europe nobody believes in good Germans any
more.
Maybe you think that it is bad taste for
me to speak with passion of the Germans.
TIC l. koI for ~ ~
coffin Of your dearest relative or friend. Those
who have given their husbands or their sons
in the war cannot forget. If we French feel
more deeply and remember more wildly, it is
because we have so much more that we can
never forget. All this is part of the moral force
Of the French underground. We have learned
how precious is liberty We have learned also
how unspeakably inhuman the enemy is.
Let me- give figures that, I am convinced,
are conservative. In four years OF occupation
the Germans have executed at least 80, 900 per-
sons in France. They have deported almost
400, 900 others not for forced labor but punt
lively. We know that it is better to die than
to be deported by the Boches. Most of those
deported by the Boches will never return.
Everyone in France knows about these scores
of thousands of killed and deported. This is
part of the accounts that the French Forces
Of the Interior have now risen to settle.
In July, in Ussel township, the Germans
hanged 100 civilians - for the crime of
food to Frenchmen who were in
hiding. In town of my own region the Ger
mans seized twenty-eight others who had fled
forced labor. They burned them to death with
name-throwers
'You have read the accounts of the mas
sacre Of more than 1000 persons virtually
The entire population OF Oradou- sur-Glane
Perhaps you have not heard the Germans
explanations: it was mistake They got the
wrong town. Mere than 1000 innocent people
were murdered-many of them burned up in a
church - for the death of three or four Ger
mans.
There are about $4,000 900 foreign workers
in germany. I can assure you that they still
have much work to do No one will have to

PARIS - (by Wireless) - Eat
ing has been skinny in Paris
through the four years of German
occupation, but reports that people
were on the verge of starvation
apparently were untrue.
The country people of Normandy
all seemed SO healthy and well FED
that we said all along: We'll
country people always fore best,
but just wait till we get to Paris.
Well see real suffering there
OF course the people of Paris
have suffered during these four
years of darkness. But I don't be-
lieve they have suffered as much
physically as we had thought.
Certainly they don't look bedrag.
gled and gaunt and pitiful, as the
people of Italy did. In fact they
look to me just the way you would
expect them to look in normal
times.
However, the last three weeks
before the liberation really were
rough. For the Germans, sens
ing that their withdrawal was in
evitable, began taking everything
for themselves.
There is very little food in Paris
right now. The restaurants either
are closed or serve only the barest
meals - coffee and sandwiches.
And the national Coffee as they
call it, is made from barley and is
about the vilest stuff you ever tast-
ed. France has had nothing else
for four years.
If you were to take poll on
what the average Partisan most
wants in the way of little things,
you would probably find that he
wants real coffee, soap, gasoline
and cigarets.
Eating is the biggest problem
right now for us correspondents.
The Army hasn't yet set up a mess
We can't even get our rations cook
ed in our hotel kitchesn. on &C.
count of the gas shortage.
So we just eat cold K-rations
and 10-in-1 rations in our rooms.
For two days most us were so
busy we didn't eat at all, and on
the morning after the liberation of
Paris some of the correspondents
were actually so weak from not
eating that they could hardly navi-
gate.
But the food situation should be
relieved within a few days. The
Army is bringing in 5000 tons of
food right way for the
Parisians. That is only about two
pounds per person, but it will help.
In little towns only 10 miles
from Paris you can get eggs and
wonderful dinners of meat and
noodles. Food does exist, and now
that transportation is open again
Paris should be eating soon.
Autos were almost nonexistent on
the streets of Paris when we ar
rived. That first day we met an
English girl who had been here
throughout the war, and we drove
her for some distance in our ieep.
She was as excited as a child, and
said that was her first ride in
motor car in four years. We told
her that it wasn't a motorcar. that
it was a jeep, but she said it was
a motorcar to her.

ATLANTA, Oct. 7.-Sheriff Ralph
Grimes of Fulton County is tired OF
feeding his star guest in the county
jail gratis-he has asked the court
to force the guest to pay board.
The. star boarder is elderly E. W.

businessman, who. Sheriff Grimes
says, has remained in jail since Au-
gust IA, rather than comply with a
court order to surrender his assets to
a receiver to satisfy an equity judg-
ment in favor of his wife.
Sheriff Grimes said Allen could
obtain his freedom by complying
with the order, and therefore he
should pay board If he remains in
jail. :
The Judgment was entered in Full
ton Superior Court by Judge Virlyn
Moore on September % for 81, ,102
principal and interest, and $4,000 as
a guarantee that Allen would pay
Mrs. Allen 5000 monthly alimony, !,
