'I'he iKiard transacted several
matters ot interest at the meeting |
Tuesday night. .\\istin Imvetlo
North Wilkesboro tire
dealers are again stocked
up with new automobile
tires.
One year after Ameri
ca’s raw rubber supply
was cut off by Japan’s
grabs in the far east, new
tires are again offered the
motoring public.
But the fact that the
dealers have stocked up
on tires does not mean
that just anybody who
wants to buy a tire can
get one. *
Uncle Sam has given
assurance that tire^will
be provided for essential
uses and that tires may be
purchased through the
rationing boards.
But under the new ra
tioning plan of rubber and
gasoline eligibility rules
are not strict.
All a motorists has to
do is abide by the ration
ing regulations and not
waste gasoline or rubber.
Grade 3 ti»-es, war tires,
are available for those
who have A and B ration
books and who must have
new tires in order to cop-
tinue operating their cars.
They are issued only in
case a tire fails'so badly
that it cannot be recapped.
However, all tires and
recapping is allptted
counties by quotas each
month and nn boards can
exceed their quotas, re
gardless of the number of
applications.
A motorist must have a
tire inspection by an au-
trorized tire insoection
station before making ap
plication for new tires or
recapping. Recommenda
tions of the inspector will
be followed if possible un
der regulations and if the
quotas contain sufficient
tires or recaps to fill the
applications.
Anyway, the dealers
have tires to sell, and the
best ne^vs of all is that mo
torists who must have tires
for essential driving are
going to get them.
Persons who exceed the
35 milM per hmr speed
limit are not eligible for
new tires or recapping.

followed by a great Allied
