We find no words to tell the Vv'orth Of Mother. ^IPho, when our friends all prove untrue, And we are feeling sad and blue, Who is it then that comforts you? Dear Mother 'And when confined to our bed. She gently bathes our aching head, And for us tears of love doth shed, Sweet Mother. She teaches us from day to day, To put our trust in God and pray. For Him to guide us on our w'ay. Our Mother And when at last God calls her home. And w'e are left all alone. Oh, sad and dreary is our home, Without Mother. With aching hearts our pain we bear, We seek for friends both near and far. But can find none that can compare, With Mother. But yet her words remain so sweet. They guide along our weary feet. We have the hope again to meet, Our Mother Something To Remember If you have a boy serving his country in the Army or the Navy, w’hose life may de pend upon the delivery of supplies to the four corners of the earth, read this: In Portland, Oregon, where conditions are similar to those in hundreds of ot'ier American cities, a free-born American citi zen answered the call for men to man a new freighter going into the transport ser vice. He had waited around for some days before the ship was ready,_ and when it came time to sign up was about out of money. He then found that before he could go aboard as a seaman he had to pay the labor union about $15.00. He didn’t have the money. Fortunately he found a friend who loaned it to him. W’ords are inadequate to express one's opinion of such a condition. Here is a sit uation where an American citizen can’t get a job on an American ship carrying Ameri can-made supplies to American armed forces that are fighting to preserve this na tion, until he pays tribute to private labor bosses. If the closed shop can tie our country up in this manner, what personal liberty have we.,to boast about? In a free country, a man should have the right to join a labor union if he so de sires, and he should have the right not to join is he so desires. Certainly no private organization should have the power to de ny a man the right to work in a war ef fort, until that man can first pay it a cash tribute. How long the rank and file of American citizens will put up with such a condition remains to be seen. Time To Save! At the direct request of the government, retails stores are carrying on aggressive campaigns to prevent waste and save ma terials of all kinds. The Institute of Distribution, which rep resents a number of important retail or ganizations, offers some excellent advice. Summed up, that advice amounts to this: don’t waste food. Don’t bum or throw away paper. Save scrap metal, old rub ber rags, etc. Give this salvage to your favorite charity or sell it ty the nearest junk P«P®r p'-y Take extra-special care of isechal^^ equipment. Inspect it, clean it, and nfl. it frequently. Repairs and replacement wffl become constantly more difficult. Save on fuels. . Retail industry knows what it is talking about. It takes five pounds of paper to pack an ordinary,artillei^ shell. The mili tary appetite for rubber, metals, textiles, leather, etc., is virtually insatiable. Elverj^ business — and every individual — should emulate retailing’s drive to prevent waste. Prolong Tire Life Probably you have seen them before, but in case you haven’t or your memory needs refreshing, we are publishing here some valuable information on how to pro long life of automobile and truck tires, be lieving that such information should prove to be highly beneficial to all motorists: Elither too much or too Ititle air de creases tire mileage. Over-inflation re duces deflection and tread contact area. It increases tension and strain on cords so that when an object is struck, the cord body is bruised much easier than when the in eherge of the monthly services proper air pressure is maintained. Under-inflation affects tire life in the _ ^ same wav as overload. It increases the Plsgah church Saturday and Sun- j „ ,1+.. Uloyd will he In charge flexing in a tire and results i ^j^g resignation of the internal heat and probably early failure. Fast, uneven tread wear is the result of scuffing and under-inflation caused by wiping the edges of the tread. The following rules summarize what every tire-user should keep in mind in or der to conserve industrial as well as pas senger vehicle tires: 1. Maintain recommended or rated air pressure at all times. 2. Check the air pressure after a few miles of service whenever a tire is chang ed. 3. Do not run a tire constantly on the .same wheel; shift tires from wheel to wheel every 5,000 miles at least, to insure even wear. If all five tire.s ■w'ear down evenly then you have added 20 per cent in miles or w'ear. 4. Keep safe tires on all wheels — a blowout destroys a complete tire. A pinch ed tubes causes underinflation that wastes tire mileage—sometimes a tube failure. This pinching and buckling often results from improper mounting. 5. Don’t take corners at high speed; that practice wears tires faster than any thing else. 6. Nfever jam on the brakes—except to prevent an accident. Use your brakes care fully, shift into second gear in going down steep hills. Keep brakes adjusted so as to avoid spotty wear on tires. 7. Have wheel alignment, front and rear, checked regularly. Keep wheels in correct alignment and balance to avoid un even tread wear. Wheels out-of-balance cause a twisting and pounding action that wipes off the tire in wavy .spots. The wheels should be checked for balance fre quency. Wheels out of line—excessive “toe-in” or “toe-out” of front wheels liter ally scuffs away the rubber. Too much or too little “camber” (outward tilt of the wheels) also causes a scuffing action on the tire tread. A tire on a wheel that is only ’i-inch out of line is literally dragged sideways 87 feet in every mile. 8. Inspect tires carefully from time to time. Have tires and tubes inspected reg ularly as a precaution against future trouble and wasted rubber and danger. Check air pressure every week or oftener. 9. Don’t drive too fast on hot, dry roads. High speed heats up tires and hastens de terioration and wear. Start and .stop your car slowly and slow down on turns to avoid grinding off the tire tread. At 60 miles per hour when taking a 335-foot ra dius curve (not very sharp) double the nor mal load is thrown on the outside tires. 10. Start up gently; spinning the wheels grinds off rubber. 11. Do not bump into curbs — no tire will withstand such abuse. Park careful ly to avoid scraping and bumping tires against surbs. Bruises that result from bumping curbs, hitting a rut, or smashing against any hard object often break +he cord fabric inside the tire and start a blow out on its way. 12. If a car or truck begins to steer queerly, it should be pulled off the road and the tires carefully inspected. •Mr.. brother, I. P. Mayes, S«ttir4*T Mr. had Mrs. N. Mr Jim’^uler ^'and 'Mra.
