FRONT JV
Tons of Scrap Rubber
Southerners on the Home Front
know how to heed the trumpet’s
call. When President Roosevelt ask
ed the nation for a whirlwind rub
ber salvage drive, they went to
work.
From giant truck tires to the
baby’s mite—a rubber nipple—they
brought the precious stuff to filling
stations. In pounds, the Southern
rubber scrap pile totalled millions.
More surprising, of 5,000 tons which
the nation’s dealers stoody ready to
ship early in the drive, 2,000 were
from Southern towns.
Figure that out in terms of pa
triotism, folks, and stick out your
chest. For every three pounds of
fered by dealers in the north and
west and east, two pounds were of
fered by Southern dealers.
We started with a bang, and the
South won’t let the President down
—we’ll finish this rubber business
with a bang.
Fat Campaign
Insiders say there’ll be anew
campaign added to the drives for
scrap metal, rubber, rags and paper.
This will be a campaign to replace
the loss of fats and oils from the
Far East.
Japan has grabbed nine-tenths of
of the world’s supply of rubber, and
essential oils come from those same
Nippon-conquered lands. Now WPB
hopes tp make up for the shortage
by collecting half a billion pounds
of cooking fats now thrown out of
our kitchens, with neighborhood

On Guard
High above deck, the lookout strains for a glimpse of
the ominous streak that a periscope makes as it cuts
sharklike through black waters.
Here at home, vigilant Georgians are on guard
against another kind of enemy. They are determined
to rid our communities of the irresponsible few who
exploit their business or profession with a selfish
disregard for the law.
In Georgia’s $10,000,000 beer industry, for example,
an effective method has been worked out for dealing
with the small minority of beer retailers who break
the law.
First, they are warned to clean up immediately.
If this urgent warning is not heeded, they are turned
over to your law officers to be closed up.
Only the reputable beer retailer deserves
reputable patronage. That’s bow YOU can help.

THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
Letter From Our
Congressman
Capitol Hill, Washington, D. C.,
June 20, 1942.
My dear Constituents: At the
*
graduation exercises of the United
States Naval Academy at Annapolis,
Maryland, this week our District
was honored by having two of its
finest sons receive their diplomas
and commissions as Ensigns in the
Navy. Their achievement is par
ticularly creditable when we realize
that they finished the course in three
years, the Academy having condens
ed the courses and they having work
ed many extra hours in order to
have their services available to the
country one year earlier.
One of them, Ensign Benjamin
Stuart Head, hails from Jackson,
Butts county, and is the son of Judge
and Mrs. George D. Head.
The other, Ensign Merrill Homer
Sappington, son of Major and Mrs.
Homer Sappington, is from Barnes
ville, Lamar county. Ensign Sap
pington upon his graduation was
presented with the coveted trophy
awarded each year by the Secretary
of the Navy to the best rifleman in
the schools under the Navy Depart
ment.
The Fourth District does not have
a graduate from the U. S. Military
Academy at West Point this year.
The House this week passed a bill
which we think eventually will have
a great effect upon the successful
solution of the gasoline and fuel oil
transportation problem. This meas
ure authorizes the construction of
pipe lines from the Louisiana-Texas
area to the East, and also one line
from the oil fields of Northern Mis
sissippi to Savannah. It also author
izes the completion of a barge canal
across Florida to connect the . inland
waterways system from the Texas
Gulf Coast to New Jersey. This in
land waterway along the Gulf and
Atlantic Coasts is over 2400 miles
long and is complete now except for
a strip of canal only 42 miles long
in Florida. The President years ago
realized the importance of this wa
terway and began construction of
the canal out of emergency funds
available to him. South Florida op
posed this canal and such pressure
was brought to bear that work on it
was stopped. It is a pity that it
was not completed then. The canal
to be finished is what is known as
a “high level” canal—l2s feet wide
and twelve feet deep—constructed
for barges only.
When finished petroleum and all
other products can be transported
by barge trains over this waterway
from Texas to the East with no
danger from submarines.
Before the proposed national gas
oline rationing regulations are made,
the President has called for a nation
wide scrap rubber pick-up campaign.
Upon the result of this campaign
much depends and I hope it receives
the full cooperation of our people.
Sincerely,
A. SIDNEY CAMP, M. C.
SAWMILL IN JASPER COUNTY
BURNED OVER THE WEEKEND
A sawmill belonging to Lewis W.
May and located on the Jasper coun
ty side of the Ocmulgee was burn
ed some time during the weekend.
The fire is believed to have caught
from a slab pile. When Mr. May
reported for work Monday the out
fit was a mass of smoking ruins.
No estimate of the damage was
listed.
Mr. and Mrs. May have apart
ments with Mr. and Mrs. T. G. Wil
lis on North Mulberry street.
SAVING TIRES
Neighbors would do well to rotate
trips to stores, mills, etc. as a means
of saving rubber tires, says G. I.
Johnson, agricultural engineer for
the Extension Service. If the car
or truck is empty one way, maybe
it can be filled by taking in a neigh
bor’s produce when going after gro
ceries and other supplies.
