Small town business took its first licking from the mail order houses, and there was not. much that could be done about it. Then, with the coming of the automobile on its rubber tires, the mail order houses eseablished bases throughout the country in their commercial war on small town ‘business For 25 years the small town business man has watched his cus omers riding away on rubber to make their purchases elsewhere. But the small town business man.hung on and adjusted himself. He has mandged' to make a living while business in the bigger cities grew rich. For a quarter of a century the small town business man has been taking it first on the chin and then in the nose, with a black eye now and then for variety. , But small town business is coming back with a bang, or, to be more exact, with a series of bangs as tires with their rubber treads spent blow out. : In fact the comeback will not wait for the tires to wear out and biow eut. With the Japs swarming over the plantations where practically all the world’s rubber comes from and stocks of rubber being burned, Mr, Sma!!town Citizen is going to conserve that precious rubber on the family bus in the garage. He’s going to explain to Mrs. Smalltown Citizen that there is mot much: sense in rubbing of a nickel’s worth of irreplacable ruber tc save a few pennies at a far distant super market, especially when the government spending program is making the pennies more p’entiful. To lick the Jerries and the Japs we are going to make fundamen!) adjustments. There can ‘be no doubt that the first thing we will have to learn to do without is now rubber tires. The smart man is not going to sell shoe leather short. He is going to take stock olf the activities of himself‘and family. The car is not going to be used for anything not absolutely nezessary and for which a substitute can be found. Any American citizen who wastes rubber is sabotaging the war effort of his country. Our duty is to conserve it, Any way you look at it the answer is that the city business. man will lose business, which will accrue to the small town business man. Tre radius of deliveries must be reduced in the interest of conserving our present stock of rubber tires. The housewife who orders supplies to be delivered should order them from the nearest source. The same amount of merehandise must be delivered with much less tire mileage being consumed in the process. If everybody does this it will mean that delivery trucks will travel less. miles and deliver more merchandise. , Some mathematically minded statistician could probably figure out how man million tons of rubber would be saved in the coming year if people would, first of all, walk to the stores. and carry home their merchandise, and in cases Where this was impractical, order it from the store nearest to their home. But figures and charts are not necessary. Common sense points oni. the obvious answer. Chambers of commerce, defense councils, state and national governments, should lose no time in warning the people that our delivery system for merchandise is wasteful of rubber, which may have been excusable ‘while we had plenty o rubber but in the light of present conditions, is not only inexcusable, but actually unpatriotic, Call for your merchandise and carry it home when possible, or send the children for it—tnis does not mean driving to either near or distant stores, it means walking or sending the children on blcycles. If deliveries are necessary buy from the nearest available source and give the merchant as much time as possible, even a couple of days, to make delivery so that he can bunch his deliveries and thus conserve rubber. He may not be able to get new tires when his present ones wear out, Order less often so less trips will be necessary. Whether this reformation in our habits of buying merchandise comes voluntarily or by government decree, it is certain to help the small town business man. After the licking he has taken fora quarter century who will say that he does not deserve it? The small town business man should make prametations to do his part in this radical revision of buying habits that must come, either voluntarily or by compulsion. He should acquaint the public with information about the merchandise he has to offer. He should keep them informed about new substitutes for articles that are no longer obtainable. He should acquaint the public with prices of his merchandise. In other words he should advertise and advertise in the Home Town newspaper that everybody reads. —The Country Press, Inc, Dunellen, N. J. I wonder as we study conservation, Placing new values upon this and that— An old tin dipper just a trifle leaky, A rubber tire, perhaps a last year’s hat, If we'll remember forest trees and flowers And other things of beauty and of grace. We'll need them when this bitter war is over And Peace comes back to claim her rightful place. I wonder if we Americans have ever. experienced so ex___ citing a conservation week as this one has been. We are look: ing at everything with appraising eyes and realizing, perhaps _ for the first time, that we have been a very wasteful people. _ The experts are telling us why we must conserve rubber, _tin, copper wire, etc. They have compelled us to save daylight, improve the shining hours; many of us will go on wearing garments which are not in the latest mode, there will be fewer pink teas and perhaps our children will find’ physical culture possible without the advantages of aesthetic dancing lessons and egg rolling contests. There is stern stuff in our ph sical and mental makeup, even after long years of self in-dulgence and . believe that the majority of our _ citizens will find pleasure in developing it. _ Some years ago . read a book titled, The Russian Primt was used at the time as a text book in Russian schools in it we Americans were presented as glaring examples of not to do. Instances of our wastefulness were duly exwas implied that at some future time we would lack of thrift. Perhaps we are beginning. At least 4 necessary to the winning of the war. . believe our newly ac‘. granted: quired thrift will be extended to cover those things of life and deauty which we need when the war is over.and we turn once again to the ways of peace. Our forests will be guarded this coming summer as never before. Foresters and game wardens, always on_ the alert, but now stirred to new heights of awareness, will probably circumvent al! attempts at sabotage by enemies of the commonwealth, and we can render invaluable aid by ruling our own actions and taking every precaution necessary for the conservation of forests, flowers and animal life. There are rules governing the gathering of wild flowers and the destructien of wild life. It is neither smart nor patriotic to desrezard them at this time. All beauty saved from war's destruction will be en esset after the war has. been won; it might be well to keev within’ the lawa which protect flowers, forects and al! wild life generally, and so aid those whose duty it is to. conserve them for us and for future generations. I wonder if th® words now being applied to rumors and the purveyors thereof, will give us pause. These words are not albelegant, but } ere they are: the pernicious rumor is callac “‘blaby’’. the one w 4o repeats ita “‘blabber,’’ and the act it self. “‘blabbine.”” New, blab blebbing who wants to be a bI abber? 'Uncle Silas says: “If all the nostrums we hear advertised produced the -results claimed for them, there wouldn't be an ailing person in the nation.”’-—A. Merriam Conner. ~. wonder if coordinated tennis, ’ Billiards and golf and mah jong too, Will serve to keep us fit in mind and body ' And ready for the work we all must do. But if one has no racquets, queues or golf clubs And cannot learn mah jong to save his life, za Should he then join MacFadden’s walking parties And be a hiking” here in the strife? I wonder if the firing line is being adequately supported by the amusement line. Such seems to be the case, that is, if reports emanating from Washington, D.:C., are to be credited. The department of fancy dancing received a serious setback; but that didn’t stop the coordinators, There were other fields to conquer and those who had adopted the slogan “sport as’ usual,” coordinated night and day. It might be well to arm the home guard with tennis racqpets, billiard queues and golf clubs, to stress the importance of walking, boating and bowling; but wh can’t we pursue our favorite sports when and where we choose without benefit of coordinators? We used to, you. know, I wonder if the coordinator of games and athletics, will be as popular as the now obsolete chaperon. I have always felt’ sorry for the child, old or young, whose playtime games were too studiously directed or supervised. Still, under certain circumstances, the coordinator might prove to be useful. ! shot a golf ball into the air and it fell on the farmer’s cow. She bellowed and fell in a crumpled heap and I fled from the spot and how! An angry dog was in hot pursuit and the farmer shouted at me His unethical words I shall never repeat, not even where speech is free. The cordinator goes with me now; which is better for me and the farmer’s cow. In a letter coming to us from Hawaii a young lady friend writes, ‘‘the blackouts here are effective. They. last from six p. m. to six a, m. during which time no one is allowed. on the streets, unless on official business. I go home to my apartment and spend the evening reading, sewing,’ writing letters and listening to the radio. No one can come to see me and I can’t go anywhere, but I don’t mind. Uncle Sam needs me and I shall stay here-as long as I canbe of service.”’ That letter was written by a California girl who had enjoyed every educational and social advantage, who loved the companionship of family and amusements which appeal to those of her, age and temperament. She was not dismayed when the bombs fell upon Pearl Harbor and lost no time in declaring ‘no, I am not coming home, I shall stay here on the job as long as m services are needed.’’ Could we do as well under similar circumstances? I hope so, but in order that we may. be ready for that which may happen here, can’t we dismiss a few Dievsime coordinators and stop, demanding “sport as usual?’’ Uncle Silas says: “Sehicklegruber has dismissed his astrological guides and ISst faith in his own powers ‘of intuition; if this sort of thing goes on, he won’t have a leg left to stand, on.’’-A.
