FIVE CENTS Ration Board Again Calls for Guarding Tire, Gas Suppli es McGraw Labels Misuse of Rubber "Sabotage" in Appeal for Saving SCHOOLS IN COUNTY READY TO OPEN MONDAY; OPENING HERE THURSDAY Faculty Still Intact at Local School; Teaching Staff for Pinehurst, Carthage Announced The Southern Pines grade and , and N. W. Mclnnis, West End, math- high school will open on schedule j ematics and science IN OUR SERVICE The More County Rationing Board issued a warning this week against '‘sabotage” of tires, and asked the public to report misuse of,new or re-capped tires allocated by the Ra tioning Board. A statement by J. L. McGraw, chairman, urged greater care for the use of tires and warned that the Board would deny tires to those who abuse them. The statement was as follows: “It All Depends On You”—sounds like a song. How Long Will They Roll on Rubber, depends on your geting the “last mile” out of each tire. This talk, from any user who says he cannot use recaps, is noth ing short of “bunk.” Here is the answer: The life and strength of a tire is not in the tread bpt rath er in the body or carcass. Each tire is built to do a certain job. If the tire is not over-worked, it will last several treads. ^3y over-work we mean this, if run at speeds over 40 miles per hour, overloaded, improper inflation, improper rims, etc., the tire is then over-worked. Do we throw away shoes when the sole wears through? Only a small per cent of tires, when properly car ed lor, blow out when a tread re mains on the tire. The large per cent that blow c.an usually be traced to speed and overload. Recaps on carcasses properly cared for, are 80 per cent as good as when new. They can be used on buses, freight trucks, yes, even lumber and log trucks. It is being done every day. “In 90 per cent of all cases where the operator states his tire cannot be recapped, the answer is, he fail ed to take proper care of the tire when new. Sabotage of tires must (Continued on Page Eight) Two Fires Bring Out Department in Week Hicks House, Belongings Completely Lost in Blaze; Other Quickly Controlled with full faculty as announced last week, and Pinehurst schools will pre cede this opening by tolling the op ening bell Tuesday, September 1, at 9 o’clock.
