A Tribute Of Love
In loving memory, I wish to
pay tribute to one whom it was
my pleasure to instruct in the
, Sunbeam Band and the B. T. U.
during her childhood.
I refer to Catherine Bussey Lu-
quire, the younger daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Bussey of
ParksviUe. She was born and rear
ed in a home where God was loved
and reverenced, and this home
training was reflected in her ev
ery day life*
Catherine was very inteUigent,
witty and humorous — always
bright and cheerful, scattering
sunshine and happiness wherever
she went.
She possessed rare traits of
mind and character that fitted
her for a good and useful life.
Having united with ParksviUe
Baptist Church in her girlhood,
she was obedient and loyal to ev
ery duty.
Loved by all who came in touch
with her beautiful life, she stands
as a challenge to us, for greater
service. Her faithfulness in the
performance of life’s duties, meant
much in her influence for good
and was an Inspiration to many.
This young woman received her
education at Winthrop College,
afterwards held a responsible po
sition in Columbia, where she met
Mr. J. W. Luquire, Jr., a graduate
of the Citadel, Charleston, S. C.
They were married in Oct., 1937,
little dreaming, she was doomed
:o but a few short years—howev
er, we live not in years, but deeds.
How sad her life should come to
a close just as she reached that
;olden period of a woman’s life-
motherhood. She left an infant
son, J. W. Luquire, m, to whom
our hearts go out in tenderest
sympathy.
At the time of her passing, May
2nd, the£ were residing in West
Palm Beach, Fla., where Mr.‘Lu
quire, who is a Civil engineer, was
jngaged in work of the Farm Se
curity Administration of the Fed
eral Gov’t.
To the beloved husband, par
ents, sister and brothers, we would
say, she has faded from this earth,
;o blossom in that Heavenly land
where shadows never come. We
must accept the fact that our
heavenly Father, in His divine
mve, gathers His own to Himself,
and we must bow in humble sub
mission to God’s will.
Remember, dear friends, “Earth
las no sorrow that heaven can
not heal”—therefore, I commend
/ou to Him, who alone can bear
you perfect peace and sympathy.
Carrie Talbert.

TODAY and
Six Inch Sermon
BY REV. ROBERT H. HARPER
Friday: The Day of Suffering
(1).
Lesson for May 31: Mark 14:32-
34, 44-46; 15:1-5.
Golden Text: Luke 22:42.
The lesson gives some of the
tragic details of the hours that
preceded the crucifixion—the
agony in Gethsemane, the betray
al, and the appearance of Jesus
before Pilate.
Gethsemane is preserved today,
with its gnarled old olive trees,
and is regarded by many as the
most sacred spot on earth. When
Jesus and the disciples entered
it, he took with him the chosen
three and went farther into the
garden. The three fell asleep and
Jesus was left alone in his agony.
It was heinous indeed _ that
Judas chose a kiss to identify
Jesus to the soldiers.
Pilate is a sad picture of a man
trying to do his duty but failing
miserably. Another gospel tells
that he washed his hands in
token of his innocence. But his
base subterfuge availed nothing.
The responsibility was his alone
and his surrender of jurisdiction,
as it were, to the accusers was a
travesty of justice.
When Pilate asked Jesus if he
was a king, he answered, “Thou
sayest.” But Pilate saw that Jesus
was not the kind of king who
would imperil Caesar. Under the
Govenor’s questioning concerning
the accusations made against
him, Jesus maintained a dignified
silence. And that silence of a
king who was soon to be crowned
with thorns should shame us if
ever we are tempted to be untrue
to the patient Sufferer.

RUBBER .... facts
A lot of this talk about our
acute rubber situation is apt to
go in one ear and out the other.
If it does, it’s time every one of
us plugged up that other ear and
absorbed the facts.
I decided to look over the gov
ernment’s figures on rubber pri
marily for my personal benefit
in order to get to the bottom of
confusing reports to determine
what was the patriotic thing to
do about driving my own car.
After getting the dope there is
no question in my mind but that
it is a definitely disloyal act for
us to use our cars for any but the
most necessary purposes.
Here are a few of the facts
which stand out:
1. The government’s reserve
supply of rubber will be pretty
well used up this year. After
that, nobody seems to know
where our rubber, even for vital
war needs, will come from.
2. All of the talk about syn
thetic rubber and growing guayule
rubber in this country doesn’t
mean a thing, so far as supplies
for the next two or three years
are concerned. Synthetic rub
ber may meet many of our needs
by 1944, but for the next two
years it will amount to little. As
for guayule rubber grown here
and in Mexico—it will be i946
before the crop will be sizable
enough to count.
3. About 98 per cent of the rub
ber we import in peacetime comes
from lands which are now over
run with Japanese, so practically
our entire source of natural rub
ber is cut off.
4. The biggest stock-pile of
rubber in the world is on the
wheels of our nation’s 34,000,000
automobiles.
5. Unless something is done
soon, hundreds of thousands of
workers in vital war industries
will not be able to go to work
when their tires wear out.
SOURCES ..... figures
If you like to see actual figures,
here are the ones which bjst
portray the acuteness of our . .j-
ber situation:
Our normal needs for ( rv' ’^er
average 768,000 tons a year. Last
year we imported about 30j j00
tons more than was used— ch
is the major part of our stock
pile for this year.
Last year 54 per cent of ou- im
ports came from Malaya, 3f per
cent from the Netherlands Last
Indies, 6 per cent from Ceylon
xnd 2 per cent from the Burma
area. That makes 98 per cent—
..nd we can’t get an ounce of
ubber this year from any of
f ose Japanese controlled areas.
i.he other 2 per cent came from
Africa and South America.
In 1941 our production of syn
thetic rubber was 15,000 tons.
This year it is expected to be
28,000 tons. In 1943, if present
plans are carried out, we may
produce as much as 350,000 tons
and in 1944 may push this
production as high as 700,000
tons. That’s something to look
forward to—but it’s not going to
solve our rubber problems for
some time to come.
As for guayule, which has been
grown in small quantities in
Mexico, we have started growing
that in nurseries but it will be
1944 before we get any crop—and
that crop will be only 12,000 tons.
By 1946 we may have 75,000 tons
available from that source—and
after that the yield will increase
rapidly. But that’s five years
:rom now and we can’t put the
war off for five years.
TIRES . . • re-claiming
The only source of rubber in
any quantity available to us to
day is re-claimed rubber. Re
claimed rubber won’t by itself,
do a lot of the jobs for which
we need rubber, but, by using
partly re-claimed rubber in most
everything, we can make our
stockpile of imported rubber last
longer.
It is estimated that there may
be as much as a million tons of
rubber in the homes of America
in the form of old rubber boots,
galoshes, toys, worn out tires,
lot water bottles, etc. If we will
all search our houses and back
wards for every scrap of rubber
and will turn it in when there is
a local rubber collection, it will
?o a long way toward easing the
situation.
But when re-claimed rubber is
considered, our automobile tires
must be a great temptation to
those officials whose job it is to
find the rubber for our war needs.
Each of us, on our cars, carries
about 70 pounds of rubber tires—
a total of 1,180,000 tons, or almost
twice the amount we ordinarily
consume for all purposes in a
year.
We are being permitted to con
tinue running our cars only be
cause they are a necessity. We
must stop thinking of them as
being pleasure cars and must
stop all non-essential riding. We
are being entrusted with precious
rubber—which is needed for
bombers, ships and tanks—only
to permit us to go on playing
vital roles in civilian life—to
carry on our jobs and to perform
war duties.
The burden ^ of keeping Ameri-
:a’s civilian economy rolling rests
an the shoulders of America s
motorists. A "pleasure trip” from
xow on gives the keenest pleasure
to our enemies.
