Washington, D. C., Aug. 7
(NWNS)—The notice given by the
director of our nation’s rubber
program that he will resign on
September 1 because he has com
pleted his job is something in the
nature of a history-making event
When the war started and our
supply of natural rubber was cut
off, the rubber industry went to
work to perfect and manufacture
synthetic rubber. At that time it
was estimated that if all went
well, within two or three years we
might have enough synthetic rub
ber to fiU normal needs.
Now Col. Bradley Dewey, head
of t***! program, points out that
tHiw goal has been overreached,
that our nation is now entirely
independent of the need for crude
rubber. And, having brought his
program to this happy state,
Colonel Dewey recommend
ed the office of rubber di
rector be discontinued. If this
is agreed to, this will be the first
wartime agency voluntarily to
surrender its wartime power.
Submitting figures on the rub
ber program, Colonel Dewey said
that output is now running at the
rate of 836,000 long tons annu
ally, which is about 250,000 long
tons more than our average im
ports of rubber before the war.
Thus we have conquered, with
interest, one of the greatest prob
lems which faced industry when
war was declared, -f
By far the biggest problem fac
ing the government right now,
heart to the war itself, is the com
plicated job of drawing the blue
prints for conversion from war
time to peacetime manufacturing.
St is estimated production of war
materials will be reduced by as
much as 40 per cent, as soon as
the war in Europe is won. Al
though this gradual change over
- LJ. ■Hmjbijwiiii
to normalcy will be welcomed by
the American people, it can ' also
mean a 40 per cent decline in
employment unless steps are
taken immediately to plan a
quick conversion to production of
civilian goods. It is quite possible
sible, following the defeat of
Germany, that the size' of our
armed forces can be reduced,
which will mean more men look
ing for jobs.
Aware of the importance of
having a practical plan ready,
more and more congressmen are
favoring Senator Vandenberg’s o-

cellar or pantry is complete with
out some of these pickles and
relishes on its shelves. They are
wholesome food only when prop
erly made and have a place in th^
diet. They stimulate the appetit •
and give zest to many a meal that
might otherwise be commonplace.
Here’s the caution, though, adults
should use them in .limited a-
mounts and they should not be
served at all to children.
Perhaps the most popular pickle
is the “Bread and Butter”. It
used to be eaten between but
tered slices of bread; hence its
name. It is made from the once
“lowly”, but, now the wartime
“-expensive” cucumber. You may
have many of them and you’d
like to make some kind of pickle.
Well, we recommend the “bread
and butter” peach and universal
pickles to you and here’s how to
make it.
Bread & Butter Pickle
Take 5 medium / cucumbers, 3
medium onions, 1-4 cup salt, 1
cup vinegar, 1-2 teaspoon celery
seed, 1 cup water, 1-2 teaspoon
mustard seed, ginger, 1-4 tea
spoonful tumeric and 1-2 cup
white or brown sugar.
You will wash the “cukes”, slice
them in thin slices, peel and
slice onions. Combine “cukes”
and onions, add salt and let them
stand two hours. Rinse well.
