Commerce. He told of
pointment of Mr. Marvin as local
director of transportation and ex-plained
the importance of conserv-ing
gasoline and rubber, by co-operating
in the sharing of cars
by people of the various areas.
In conclusion he outlined a five-point
plan, providing that people
use their cars only when neces-sary,
drive under forty miles an
hour, rotate their tires frequently
and inflate them properly, that
bhey drive to work with friends or
neighbors and remember that rub-ber
Is scarce and precious.
Mr. Marvin spoke along the
same lines, citing statistics con-cerning
the need of conserving
rubber. He pointed out that of
the sources from'which 1,390.000
pounds of rubber were obtained
last year, only 40,000 pounds
would be available this year, due
to the fact that ninety per cent of
the production area is in the en-emy's
hands. Mr. Marvin urged
members-;, of various organizations
anoL people., living in jarlous areas
get -together to. organize groups_.to
cooperate in the use of cars.
Mrs. Frederick ""Curtis, president
of the (Hempstead Women's Club
and a leader in the share-a-car
campaign In that village, declared
the sharing of cars was second in
importance only to the active serv-ice
of men at the front. She urged
the organization of a clearing
house through which the use of
automobiles might be .pooled, Mrs.
Curtis conceded that this might
necessitate sacrifice, but declared
there was nothingsttractlve about
war. She advised further against
women seeking cooperation only
among their (friends, saying they
should wor)c among their neighbors.
The Anal speaker was John H.
Deming, director of transportation
for HockVUle Centre. He outlined
the plan as a moveinen't to con-serve
