Additional pipe lines are now being constructed fo r supplying needed oil and gasoline to the states affected. The, only ,argu­ ment put forth for gasoline rationing in other sections o f the country, in­ cluding states like Ohio, where there is an' over-abundance o f gasoline and oil, has been that such rationing would help conserve rubber. The House committee, in its report,' in­ sists that any rubber shortage should be met by the rationing o f rubber, rather than by the rationing o f gas­ oline. The committee also reported that a rubber shortage does exist, hut that it can be met by careful con­ servation of rubber, and reduction of speed in the operation of motor vehicles. • ■ .

In connection with the rubber sit- iation the committee investigations isclose there is at the present time national stock pile o f a little more ban six hundred thousand tons o f atural crude rubber; and that there re over nine million new tires avaij- ble fo r use. Four hundred and ifty-five thousand tons o f scrap ubber were obtained from the recent ollection drive, which, in- addition' to crap in the hands of the junk dealers, eclaimers ' a(nd processors, maSces lore than a million- tons o f scrap ubher available for future use/ How- ver, America's largest source o f ubber is in. the more than eight hun- red thousand tons o f tires and tubes ow in use, The total amount o f first so rubber available before De- ember 31st, 1943, will be well over mber 31st, 1943, will be well over lie million seven hundred thousand anS, o f which a large percentage pan iter be reclaimed. By the time this apply is exhausted the synthetic ubber program will be well -under iray, with the government .program eaching an eight hundred thousand ap capacity in the early part of 1944. Irude natural rubber imports during lie next eighteen months are estimat- d at about sixty thousand tons. According to information obtained y the committee, sufficient crude, re- laimed and synthetic rubber will be .vailahle to take care of retreading 11 civilian tires' needed f o r essential urposes during the next two and one- alf years, and that by the exercise f proper care the nation can he kept n rubber tires until synthetic rub­ er production is sufficiently dev- lopect to supply all needs, both mil­ iary and civil. House committee findings have confirmed by a visual exhibit, ete with statistics, the tire man- ires'of the country have had on y at a Washington hotel during rst few days, These manufact- the largest in thecountry, insist iy the use of 3,332 tons o f nat- id rubber, .and 65,420 tons of id rubber,. and65,663 toils of Stic rubber, all nCcded tires for dal civilian Use can be supplied y the next two years, by the end iich time the rubber shortage is ted to he over.

Methodists Plan to Make Pension Plan Financial Success Methodists o f this area are plan­ ning to make an all out effort in the. $1,000,000 pension fund campaign for the benefit of the retired Methodist ministers of the Ohio Annual Confer­ ence now in progress. Methodist church leaders pointed out today that the Ohio Conference has never met its full responsibility to its retired men, the retirement allowance many times falling fa r short o f adequacy. Of Methodist ministers .who attain 65, 85 per cent face the pinch of acute poverty. Many do not have enough to provide decent burial. Bishop H. Les­ ter Sipith, resident clerical head o f this area said, "A well informed people will support the conference claimants cause,” When the present number of retired Ministers entered their profession there- was obviously little thought of the financial gain that ’ might' have been made in this work. A random' survey made of 43 o f their number revealed that their average "annual salary for the first year o f their min­ istry was $459. One retired minister stated that the lowest annual stipend that he had ever received during his active years was $172. He pointed out that his average salary during the 31 years o f his ministry had been $685. The retired ministers on the Conference Claimants rolls o f the Ohio Conference represents over 9,- 006 years of pastoral service. , Local Methodists are studying, the problem of the retired ministers and are laying plans to work for the complete success of the project. A .quarter of a million'Methodists, arid over 600 pastors of Ohio are a part of this pension campaign -which will in­ tensify OCt.lst and terminate Nov. 15. Ohio Chamber Checks . County Budget A representative of the Ohio Cham­ ber o f Commerce met with'the Greene County Budget Commission Monday when the county budget was examined and checked. Np great increases in requests were asked for and the coun­ ty was complimented on its financial standing and the economical manners in which tax funds are spent. ' In. making comparison it was dis­ covered back in the days o f Judge Ho­ mer Henrie the increase o f operating expenses over average years reached as-much as nine times the normal or average cost o f opperatingthe pro­ bate court in former years. The early days o f Judge Henrie's service on the bench were the hay-day spending urg- ged by the New Deal. To the national administration the taxpayer’s dollar was made to spend -regardless of how or for what. Game Plentifulln Co.
