More Rubber for Recapping Owners of tires smaller than 7.50x20 will soon be able to get their casings recapbed with reclaimed> rubber "camelback" without applying to their rationing boards for ceftificates. This does not relax the need for continued observance of rubberâ€" conservation measures. The change was made to reduce the demand for replacement tires by encouraging recapping, which takes less than half as much reclaimed rubber as a new war tire. i The quota of Grade 1 passenger car tires for March has been practically doubled. ‘The increase will take care of" accumulated applications, but will not be continued in succeeding months. ‘The quota of truck tires for March was reduced as compared with February but the truck tire recapping quota was increased.

The inâ€" tention is, undoubtedly, to follo w Highland Park‘s procedure in car pooling in many other localities. ° Pictures of â€"riding groups arriving at the station were taken, as well as pictures of many other special groups. The Rotary club turned out as models for photographs to show how they use the Shareâ€"theâ€"Car plan. Members of the Men‘s Garden club enacted scenes from the routine as carâ€"sharers. The Red Cross women turned out in fu‘l uniforms and participated in their routine. Other women did their shopâ€" ping earlier than usual so that they, too, conld show in pictorial form how group riding helps them solve their daily problems. One school group of seven firstâ€"graders was driven to the Ravinia school by one of the mothers, uhdthey pestormed like tatented imodâ€" els for the photographer. ‘The Sheriâ€" dan Rifle club likewise had its memâ€" bers turn out in their shooting togs for the pictures. A complete photoâ€" graphic record of the planwas made, even to showing the Transportation committee at work. 5 Recently, the Office of Civilian Deâ€" fense asked that a booklet be preâ€" pared outlining the Highland Park Group Riding Plan. Robert L. Leopold, chairman of the committee, prepared the booklet, which subsequently has been distributed to many suburban communities with the suggestion by the OQCD that it be used as a pattern for he solution of their transporation difficulties. $ Publication of Fort Sheridan‘s weekly newspaper, The Tower, was suspended this week following reâ€" ceipt of a new regulation prohibiting civilian sponsorship of camp publicaâ€" tions and their use of advertising of any kind.
