a reasonable rate of speed, which
is all that the retreaders will guar-
antee. At sixty miles per hour the
retread stores up heat and
threatens to melt away. At sixty-
five, it usually gives up the ghost
and stretches itself out on the con-
crete, a ribbon of discouraged
synthetic rubber.
How do I know these things?
From first-hand information. I too
have lived and suffered, limping
eighty-five miles on hands and
knees after removing a vanished
retread and substituting for it a
spare tire that belonged in the
bald-headed row at the theatre,
way down front under the foot-
lights. There was just enough air
in the spare to give steerageway.
A view of the ferry just pulling out
of the slip. at Cape Charles did
nothing ‘to mollify feelings already
rubbed raw from that snail-like
progress down through the sandy
stretches of Delaware and the Vir-
ginia peninsula.
Now that gasoline rationing is a
thing of the past, with gasoline
gurgling into the tank and filling
it to the brim without benefit of
gas coupons, housewives are begin-
ning to hope that. meat. rationing
will soon follow the lead.
There was a happy time when
meat counters contained meat in-
stead of an inspiring selection of
saurkraut, cottage cheese, deceased
fish, and watermelons. Shoppers
used to line up at a counter to
weigh the merits of a roast of beef
against a plump chicken, pork
chops against veal cutlet, hamburg
against ham. From sheer surfeit
of the good things of life, they com-
pared notes, moaning in concert
that ‘somebody ought to invent a
new animal. Nothing on this
counter but beef and ham and veal
and: lamb, and the family is so
sick of chops I don’t dare serve
them again.”
It takes a war to make a luxury
out of the commonplace. A meat
counter with meat in it is just about
as unusual as a drugstore that
handles drugs.
With the easing of restrictions
all along the line, the small amount
of pinching that we have done will
;oon be forgotten. It has not hurt
any of us to tighten the belt a
.ittle. A considerable percentage
>f parents are already viewing with
yerturbation the return of the car
5:0 the highway. The gas shortage
made such a marvelous alibi, such
a strong talking point when Johnny
asked for the car to take his date
to the dance. Most of the local
Johnnies know how to drive pretty
well, stacking up against the adult
drivers of the community with
credit, but some of them get that
wild and free sensation the moment
they slip under the wheel. They
feel that one arm is enough for
| any wheel, more than can be ex-
pected in fact. And with the tires
in their present dilapidated condi-
tion, careless driving is going to
cost lives. The Johnny who is driv-
ing the car usually escapes serious
injury, because he is protected by
the wheel, but his companion gets
scalped.
It is unfortunate that the Victory
speed is no longer required. Forty
or forty-five miles per hour was a
reasonable mark-up on that speed,
and was winked at, but with fifty
miles once more allowable the
mark-up will be sixty or sixty-five.
And that, brother, is not going to
be so hot. :
