PASSENGER CARS WILL PLAY VITAL ROLE IN EFFORTS There is aeamnanting from day to day overwhelming evidence that Am- erica’s fleet of 28,500,000 passenger cars will be tal role in connection with the effec- tive prosecution of the war and the maintenance of a sound civilian ec- cnomy back of the war effort, says a Stateme nt by the executive committee f the American Automobile Associa- | tion. The statement continues: From now on, gent importance that all governmen- tal agencies which have a responsi- bility for transportation efficiency shouud concentrate their attention on maintaining in necessary and useful service as many passenger cars as possible.

If it be the policy of the govern- ment, as it should be, to maintain as many passenger cars as possible in service, it naturally follows that the needs of these cars should be related to the plans of the government as regards rubber. Specifically, the syn- thetic rubber program should be ex- | when conservation as such is not en- | { ough to maintain an adequacy of the | passenger car transportation.

It is incumbent upon every owner of a passenger car in America to use the car as a public trust, to conserve the vehicle and the tires so that their life and usefulness can be extended for the duration of the emergency.
