APPLICATIONS FOR TRUCK TI.-USS MUST BE
DENIED IF THEY ARE NOT ESSENTIAL
If truck tires are not essential to the
war effort or to the public health or
safety, applications for then must be de
nied by the War Price and Rationing beards
according to the latest amendments to the
tire rationing regulations.
Each month a large number of truck tire
requirements go unsatisfied, due to the
lack of quota. It is not only impossible
to increase the quota, but we must face
the fact that there will be further reduc
tion. With the limited supply of rubber,
all trucks that are eligiblo, and need
tiros are not going to be able to acquire
them. It is necessary, therefore, that
tho regulations be pared down, to permit
only those trucks to get tires, that are
essential to the public health or safety
or are promoting the v/ar effort. Trucks
that are not performing these essential
duties, must for the good of the nation
bo denied tires. "
Before this amendment, when there were
more applications than quota, the local
board had authority to test all applica
tions for tires for trucks in relation to
their importance to the war effort, the
health and safety of the public. By
this amendment, applications must be de
nied if they are not for purposes essential
to tho war effort, public health and safe
ty, even tho the board still has quota
available.
As nothing else could do, this situation
should make people community-minded. If
you have received or do receive a tire, you
must regard it as a source of service to
your community. The situation is becoming
more serious. Farmers must consolidate
their hauling.- People must realize that
not only some, but all pleasure-driving
must be curtailed. The board is required
