L. iif the final result of the rubber salvage campaign amounts to as much as 300,000 pounds for Nevada County, that will be 15 pounds of “rubber contributed to the nation’s need by each man, woman and child in the county, and if same ratio obtains throughout the country the total pile’ of used rubber uncovered” by 132 million people, will ‘be ,'1,980,000,000 pounds or 880,000 tons. This should be a great lift to the ‘war industries and, perhaps, ‘to civilian rubber users. s a In: large cities in which hundreds of thousands of families live in apartments, it is too much to expect that the ratio of 15 pounds to the person will be usual. The apartment dweller has no ropm to store old tires, etc. Most of the rubber will come from farms and the smaller towns. Many an old tire will come from garbage dumps and swimming holes, from way-side scaverenging and canyon probing. Junk dealers who saved rubber tires are in the money, but many did not. : . So many conflicting statements about sugar are heard from the so-called experts that a man on the street with no knowledge of sugar beyond the fact that it helps his morning coffee, can be pardon-, ed for being a trifle confused. The sensible course is not to worry about it, since alleged economists, sugar importers, growers and the government rationing officials are doing a tremendous lot of worrying and arguing. It is a comfortting thought to know that if the government has blundered we at Jeast have benefitted in health. A good many home town merchants have been helped since tire rationing began. People are really concerned albout the tire shortage and the prospect of making theirs “do” until a year after the war is over. They are doing more trading iy at home than formerly. Some classrs es of merchandise which are now ; extinct, in so far as their manufacture is concerned, such as a2utomolbiles, refrigerators, washing machines and radio receiving sets, no longer absorb installment money. The cash formerly spent for household appliances now goes to clothing, shoes, groceries, and home additions and improvements. Many a man burdened with debt is now paying out. The temptation of shining new cars, household appliances, and other durable goods has been removed. There are few of these things to be had, the down payments are much. larger, and credit is given a closer. scrutiny. a As for other rationing that looms the American people are not “afeared.’’' We could wish there’ was less alarmist yelpings from Washington. Not long ago someody in a position of authority at the nation’s: capitol issued a loud warning that coffee, tea, and chowolate were soon to be rationed. Maylbe they are. What of it? A relatively few will probably stock into the grocery stores and stock up for months in advance. Then when rationing does come in these commodities, if it does, they will have to declare what they have at home, just as in the case of sugar, and will be no better off than their neighbors (who refrained from hoarding. The folks who stay at home, speaking for 99 per cent of them, are willing to do anything that will make our ‘boys in training, overseas, or at the battle front as happy and comfortable as circumstances permit. What sacrifice we can make is so little as compared with what they are asked to do, that any feeling of annoyance we may have, should on second thought, make us blush clear down to ous toes. We may think that mattersare not being. managed very well in Washington. Probably they are not. No administration ever has succeeded in adopting a clean-cut business policy, and practicing it, in war times. Our governmental here tomorrow night. dependence of this nation. The events will start with a program Friday night ona platform which will be erected front of the Elks Building.
