TRUCK TIRE SITUATION
Extremely critical situations
ha arisen in the United States
regal dine, large truck tires, those
over v50 x 20 in size. The main
reasons being the extremely heavy
(Semaod of the armed forces and the
scarcity of manpower to manufacture
the large tires. At the present
time Alaskan dealers ure supposed
;o b. able to secure some replenish*
mts for their stock from the main
land, However as we all realise
this critical situation is goinc to
have its rffect on Alaska, too.
This month the whole territory re
eeiv d onlm 50 large tires as com
pere^ to 150 for July. Whenever ve
hicl s with smaller than 325 truck
tire, can be used, they should be
substituted.
The W‘r Price and Rationing
Eoard has Instructions to issue no
lar^' tires to trucks that are not
definitely essential.

LET FREEDOM RING
There is e slogan by an cut' -
mobile company that 6ogs like tb
,rAsk the men who owns one." Now
that, slogan, catchy as it is, dc
not really cive you the ac: irl p* -
ture. Anyone, owning r car will
not run down the car ho owns. No
matter whether he actually likes
the err or not as ]onL as ho c^s
it, he will praise it.
That some situation sh 'Id hold
true in regard bo the country in
which we live. We, the poiple of
these United States, have been giv
en many freedoms. We sho d b°
proud of those freedoms, should
praise and. sutain thorn. should
be like tho car owner, just csk
the people who have them. The
verse is true many times, howev _.
We possess may freedoms, but we
let thorn be taken from us because
we do not protect thorn nor use
them.

gradually they can be taken ewa;
from us. We who would build a r -•
•tlon of true democracy for our r ».d
ren and their children, fail to
appreciate the values we now owt ;
We forget that values can be lo
od if they are not used by all
people.
To get the most service out
the automobile we purchase, wo rue

repair it as repairs are necessary
■ We use the machine we purchase for’
pleasure, in time o.f sickness and
need,'"'to help a neighbor,end to 'id
•. in our daily life. We are aware
that if we do ’not take care of our
car, we will soon be without one.
This applies bo our freedoms, also.
