BURNS Ouardan April 17, 1942 Nobody's Business Written for The Chronicle by On McQce, Copyright, 1928. BROKE AGAIN The ordeal of buying a suit of clothes camo up again tho other day. I hud not found It necessary to add anything to my wardrobe since 1989 except an occasional pair of box, 8 ties and a few other minor Items of apparel, I am not very hard on clothes except in one or two places, and 1 take care of them better titan some folks do. ?Being made like I am, It's not so eusy to got a tit. If the coat fits me, tho britches are always too large In the waist and hips, and It's vlce-vc^sa when tho britches tit me. 1 found something in a department store that 1 didn't like at all, but' I bought it (the suit) because it looked like a clinging vino. (In other words, he said?"Eet tits you like de paper ou de vail," but he was a Gentile: you see, he had picked up this type of merchandising In his 30 years experience). ?The cuffs were omitted from the trousers, but I got all of the regular liutttSIT holes and pocket and flapB and zippers . . . that usually go along with a summer suit. I bought a striped suit this tlAe: I thought I might as well get used to stripes. If I have to continue to comply with government restrictions, I believe I'll have to wear them anyhow, sooner or later. But these run up and down Instead of round and around. ?The clerk told me that labor had gone up and that there wouldn't be any more wool and that future collars and vests and padding and linings would be eliminated for the duration. That's why I had to pay $25.00 for the $14.98 suit. I wanted him to throw In a pair of gallusses or a pocket-knife or something, but he only smiled at such horrid suggestions. I believe this Is the ugliest suit I ever saw. It is kind of dark grey with tarnished Inlays and it looks very much like a second-hand suit that the cleaners had mussed up. It will have to do me for a long time. When I'll ever have $25.00 again is a question that can't be answered. I borrowed It this time, but my credit will possibly grow weaker as I go along. WHAT I HAVE DONE TO HELP WIN THE WAR ?Well, lemme see?I left my car at home one dfiy and walked down town. ?I went to bed on April 1st at 9:35 P. M. and thereby saved some electricity. ?I bought a War Stamp In March and gave 50c to the USO and promised a dollar to the China Relief Fun. ?I put down $2 to the Red Cross and hope to Join their regular roll call next fall. ?I bought a pair of britches last woek that didn't have any cuffs on them, and the same day I wrote a letter to a soldier. ?Just a few days ago, I cussed out Hitler and Mussolini and Hlrohlto and hollered out? "Remember Pearl Harbor." ?I am chewing chewing gum thfat cornea wrapped up In paper instead of tinfoil, and I returned an empty shaving cream tube to the drug store last night. ?When they were collecting aluminum, I took an old aluminum dipper and pitched it into the bin Just like that. * ?I planted 10 onions and 12 carrota in the wife's flower bed so that our soldier boys will Se able to get plenty green vegetables. ?I think that's" all. I am not bragging about it, but X don't know anybody else in town that has done' very nyich more to help win the war than I have. (And that's what's wrong with our country). aa BW gj BWHWWWWBWPi1111 WWWWWPW ? > For Defense I Telling American women the ' story of new cotton garments for women working in agriculture and defense industries, Camille Anderson of Memphis, the 1912 Maid of Cotton, is making a 100-day tour of 25 major industrial cities from New York to San Francisco. Miss Andersoit is appearing as guest and featiitad model in all-cotton fashion shows in each city. Her tour is sponsored, by the National Cotton Council and Cotton-Textile Institute, the Memphis Cotton Carnival Association, and the Cotton Exchanges of Memphis, New York and New Orleans Water For That Victory Garden Clemson, May 9.?The best assurance for a successful Victory Garden Is watering It when necessary by one of the various methods, C. V. Phagan, agricultural engineer of the Clemson Extension Service sa'ld today, announcing Agricultural Leaflet 63, entitled "Water Your Victory Garden." "It doesn't matter how good soil, or seed, or fertllzer, nor how well the vegetables are cultivated, pruned and I sprayed, if it doesn't rain at the right time, production falls off or there is a complete failure," Phagan geld. "Yet thousands of farm families in South Carolina can have better yearround gardens by utilizing water from wells, springs and streams for watering during dry spellB." Leaflet 63, which may be had free from the Extension Service at Clemson, explains and illustrates by drawings how irrigation may be had with water from wells, springs and streams at minimum trouble and edit. Garden Irrigation is a form of intensive care and attention to a small area that will give greater returns on labor than less intensive care on a much larger area, Phagan points out. pg^r^g-?u..i iiii.hujju?up ww^i1?

' i n i" " "n i~ " Camden Rallies To Support of Drive (Continued from first page) soldier wrote In the guest book at a USO club, "when you mention home, It always strikes a tender chord In our hearts." And he added, "To the place next to home, I take off my hat and lift my rifle?the USO." Indeed, comments In these guest books show again and again that what the men In uniform Beek is a "second home." They crave a "homey atmosphere," as they often call it. Realizing then, for a moment, what your home, your family, your friends, your familiar streets, mean to you, stop and reflect that by the end of this year some four million American men will have left their homes? will have changed from civilian clothes Into a uniform?from civilian life to a disciplined life. There, In a nutshell, you have the challenge facing the USO. Obviously, the USO cannot actually "replace" the home. It does not claim to do so. But home, as you know, Is not just a structure. Various elements combine to make up what you call home life?the spirit and love that reside there, the friends and neighbors who come and go, sociability, and recreation within easy reach. What the USO does try to do is to provide as many as possible of these different elements that make up the kind of life to which our men have been accustomed before they entered the service. At USO clubs, for instance, the whole community is invited to participate in the programs so that the men may have friends and neighbors, so that they may feel they "belong" somewhere. Sociability, feminine companionship, good things to eat, cigarettes, movies and reading matter come to the men on detached guard duty. It's only .ja_j>lC*"orTiome, certainly, but It's some of the spiritual and material things that go to make a home. The USO, with its trained staff and jts corps of volunteers ? 400,000 of whom are women ? provide the human element that sustains the robust hearts and spirit of our lighting forces. I need not tell you how Important this Is for our national welfare. So It's up to us?all of us?to have, so to speak, another home besides our own?but on the giving end. We can all do that by helping provide recreation, cheer and comfort to our armed forces, through the USO. We can do this by giving generously to the USO War Fund campaign after it starts May 11. Many thousands of us can do It in person by going to the nearest USO club or USO citizens committee and offering to take part in their programs. Directly or indirectly, we can all help to make It possible for the USO to continue saying to the parents, wives, and sweethearts of every man In American uniform: ? Wherever your boy may go, he'll find the friendly USO. That is its high mission and., purpose. .Automobile wrecking firms in Canada have been ordered' to dismantle all cars on hand to sell the resulting scrap, the department of' commerce says. Approximately 600,000 tons of artificial rubber will be achieved by the middle of 194S. About 100 tons are expected to be manufactured by the end of the present year. ?mmmmmmmi i i u^s^?ymm J . Hi. . 1J a JILSJ '"I1 Babson On Tires ipeclnl to The Chronicle (By Roger ,W. Babson) What About Tlree Akron, Ohio, May 16.<?I aw out lore again checking up the tire sltlatlou. My Internet 1h far deeper han what It me una to you and your tleaaure car. Next to banking, tlrea ire the moat necessary part of nlmoat ill industry. The financial, cbmmer lal, farming, profeaaioual and manuacturtng bualneau of the uatloit runa >11 pneumatic tlrea. To haVo' these Irea eliminated by a long war would >o a great blow to the nation. Hence, he boya in Waahington should count en before aaylng or doing anything taaty. - j What About Rubber? f Since 1 first wrote on the tire sitlution, the Japanese have seised tearly 90 per cent of the world's commercial bearing rubber trooB. We lave enough raw rubbor in stock piles o supply our war needs until our lew synthetic plants get going. Af:er that, the war requirements will :ako all the synthetic rubber. Getling rubber now from goldenrod, milkweeds, sugar cane und the like Is practically an Idle dream. Guayule which is now being planted will not produce rubber for five years. The Brazilians ure too lazy to go into their wild forests to get It out. Hence, as far as getting rubber tires for our 80,000,000 pleasure cars, we can forget It,?no fooling! # The only hope I can give Is that we really need rutfeer pneumatic tlreB only for the two fear Wheels. Furthermore, cars are now being run without auoh tires on the front wheels. Webber College students at Babson Park, Florida, whoj^ve made a project of the tire problem, are operating cars with Iron bands welded to the front rims; also one with wooden tires on the front rims. They now are testing out on another car with the rims filled In with cement. These cars make 30 miles, but are noisy and must be steered carefully or they will slew. Such front wheel tires are hard on the bearings of a good car. The Future Tire The tire industry Is working day and night to solve the problem of getting a rubberless tire both tough and resilent. The best bet now seems to be a tire made of wood and covered with a cotton rope fibre 1 1-2 inches thick protected on the sides with a metal flange and embedded in some asphalt preparation unaffected by heat or cold or standing. Such tires go about 1,000 miles. Unless the resilent qualities are secured, we must jack up our front two wheels at night to prevent "flats"! Unfortunately, rubber is the only known product which has both 100 per cent toughness and 100 per cent elacticity. It truly is a most marvelous product?almost miraculous. Of course, If sufficient rubber were available, we could get along by retreading, recapping, and the like. Reclaimed rubber also has possibilities; but to get results from It, I find it necessary to put in a little honest raw rubber. This the government will not allow the tire industry to do except under a rationing system. I have followed every lead and hunted the country over for a solution. Frankly, the situation looks bad. I'm Returning home from Akron with one' resolve, namely, to treat my present tires as gently as a new born babe! Next to my wife and children, I shall consider them my very, very, very, best friends! Why Drive 8lowly? Statistics show that the nation's biggest stock pile of rubber, to now In tires?some 160,000,000 of them. This is now in John Q. Public's hands. When the tire industry PUta upon the market the solid cushion cotton fibre-asphalt tire above described, we cannot go over 30 miles an hour. Yet, If wo all would uow confine our driving to 30 miles, our present tires would last for the duration. This la duo to the following statistical fact for which 1 upon my honor vouch: If a tiro l? good for u cortaln mileago running 00 miles per hour, It will give double the mileage at forty tnIlea and throe times the mileage at 30 miles per hour. The tremendous Importance of this fact cannot be overemphasised. It should be? panted on every windshield. - Hence, If we have any sense, we will "love, cherish, conserve and obey" our tires from this day on! ThlB la no threat or nonsense. I'm giving you the real dope. The answer to your tire problem Is three-fold: (let up a half hour earlier every day end : start each trip earlier so you can drive 30 miles per hour and not need to hurry. Avoid sudden stops and starts as these are very bad on tire*. Double up when going to work, or to market or anywhere else. This 'means use your car less?cutting down the mileage B0 per cent. Follow these rulea and you have nothing to fear. Moreover, you will be subject to no more hardship or Inconvenience than you would be with Iron, wooden, or cotton-asphalt tires on your front wheels. With them you cannot go over 30 miles and they may be expensive. What About Legislation? One of the most harmful statements on the tire situation came from Washington suggesting that our good tlreB might bo commandered, and taken by the government. This . |caused millions of people to say: j "if the government Is to take my | tires, why try to Bave them?" This ' attitute explains much of the fast driving with careless stops and starts which we see today. Now, thlB is what I am trying to bring about: i Have every community greatly inI crease Its traffic squad, financing the I same with a fee of fifty cents to be j paid by every driver every time ne Is caught going over 80 miles in oitles and 40 miles between cities. | Keep a list of those who are caught speeding with the understanding that if It ever is necessary to ^ake tires away from citizens, they will be taken only from those who have been caught for speeding. Moreover, the flrBt tires seized should be from those | who have been caught,, the most. Of course, the rationing of gasoline or a I much higher gasoline tax would help I the tire situation; but it wll.l not solve the real problem. One of the J best suggestions is to prohibit all iftteht and Sunday driving without a permit. This should be done under the plan above described. Only such a plan will Insure the faithful of their reward and the sinners of their punishment. I know this is not New Deal doctrine; but it's the religion I was taught when a boy. It la the religion America must return to If we are to save democracy. * / Red-Letter Event In Wateree Village , '(Continued from first page) _ c Three star flags went to Mr. and Mrs. John J.

Behind them, ably doing their part, 26,300 intensively trained fellow telephone workers, efficiently serve their country at home. Not in uniform ? but engaged in a task no less vital to the national war effort ? constantly Maintaining the efficiency of;the farflung communication lines of a country laced with its greatest emergency. Nor have these loyal workers at home neglected the duty of every American. They have already bought $415,000 of war bonds, maturity value, ahd are subscribing over $117,000 every month for additional bonds?-concrete evidence that these thousands of men and women are in every way "behind the men behind the gnms." ^ THOMAS CROUCH .
