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 rubber and, existing trans- portation facilities to make them 4) Chapter House In I It.
