It is also true that before the war they all used the same natural rubber. Yet ... there existed then, as today, a wide difference in tire quality. Obviously, it takes more than rubber to build a tire. It takes steel, cotton, carbon black and compounding. Yes, and it takes still more to make a great tire. It takes engineering to figure stresses, strains and proper balance. It takes chemistry to properly blend Ingredients. It takes skill and experience to build flawlessly. Test tube or tree rubber ... it's technique ,hat counts. These are the things that have made Goodyear "The greatest name in rubber" . . the factors that give you the plus In Goodyear Tires. As always, your best assur. ance of quality is this fact, true for 28 successive years .. "More People Ride on Goodyear Tires Than On Any Other Kind." IN THE LETTER BOA England, February 24, 1944 Dear Editor: Have thought a number of times of forwarding you a few lines, with a suggestion or thought that has been revolving thru my mind, after read-' several copies of your good weekly paper which I am getting regularly or should I say in "bunches." Some time ago, last fall I believe in one of your issues, your paper ap- pealed to the readers to forward parts of letters received from the boys over here so that we chaps over here when 'reading the papers later would know who was here etc. and interesting reading for all. Personally I think your "Military Column" is fihe and sure lets us fellows know who is coming and going but I wonder if it wouldn't be possible to create a column or extend your "Military Column" giving as many addresses of the boys over here as you possibly could. To perhaps enlighten my point, I personally know many of the boys from around home, but have no way whatsoever of getting in touch with them; have been perhaps unfortunate myself in not running into them by accident with the exception that 1 did see Ken Pickett one night and met Stan Kennedy last Tuesday night at the Y.

V So I think if it were at all possible on your behalf and the co-operation of your many subscribers that quite a lengthy lot of addresses could be. published and I know that when that was received by the boys over here there would sure enough be lots of correspondence going on to get in touch with someone you' have often thought about looking up -but didn't know where to start. If and when any of these addresses changed the folks at home could ad- vise you of this change; I really think a column such as this would be on the other hand I appreciate- it, :might not be convenient for you to do so—so don't hold it against School of Commerce Notes Awards granted by the Education- al Department of the Gregg Company Certificates, Jr. and Sr. 0.

Synthetic rubber tires are now being produced, but they are for the armed services and "essential" civilian vehicles only. Your needs will be taken care of just as soon as humanly possible. Asyournext tiresprobably will be made of synthetic, the following information is important to you. Synthetic rubber tires are comparatively new, they do not yet match natural rubber tires nt all-around performance. The continuing laboratory awl road-testing work will. undoubtedly, hasten improvements. In the meantime, however, synthetic rubber tires will meet present needs and see us through the emergency, IF CARE is exercised AT ALL TIMES. Driving at reduced speeds (35 M.P,H. or under), no overloading, accurate inflation, regular rotation (switching tires from one wheel to another),,,immediate attention to tire damage and frequent inspection by a Goodyear Dealer will enable your to .get satisfactory service from synthetic rubber tires.
