NO GASOLINE IF OVER FIVE TIRESOWNEO ‘‘Passenger car owners showing on their applications that they still own more than the five tires per car will not be issued future mi leage ration books,” said H. B. Speight. “They will be told they must get rid of those tires first. “When he does apply he will have to present proof that he has disposed of the excess tires he reported on his application form.” A receipt showing that he has turned them over to the Railway Express Agency will be accept able as such proof. Or the appli cant may show that he has turned in unserviceable tires for scrap. “But it’s a great deal simpler and easier for all concerned to sell the tires in advance” Speight pointed out. All excess tires, even scrap tires, must be dsiposed of. Under the Government’s Idle Tire pur chase Plan, the local office of the Railway Express Agency will col lect all serviceable tires, and leave a receipt. The Government will send a check later covering the price of the tire or tires. Tires beyond repair should be disposed of through a local scrap dealer or salvage committee.

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS... “Judge, would you mind tellin’ Charlie here what you told me the other night walkin’ home from lodge. I can’t word it just the way you did.’’ “Sure thing, Tim. Here’s what I told him, Charlie. There’s no such thing as votin’ a , nation, a state, a county, or even a com munity dry. We had proof enough of that during our 13 years of prohibition. What you really vote for is whether liquor is going to be sold legally or illegally...whether the community is going to get needed taxes for schools, hospitals, and the like, or whether this money is going to go to gangsters and bootleggers. That’s the answer, boys... simple as A-B-C.” copyright, 1H4Z, cotijerence oj suconouc Beverage inausirtes, inc., is. x. c.
