Tic 1942 ECHO K They Also Serve . . .H S for save, for share, for short rations! This should be our war lesson, for today, tomorrow, and 'til the dawn of victory shows Old Glory again flying high over W'ake, Bataan, and Guam, ,til the New Disorders have been quelledg 'tilall the French are free and the rest. of the conquered nations trip the foot that tramples them. ' Let us help! WVe can, we shall, we will! This is not a burst of patriotism and enthusiasmg it is a practical suggestion. lt. has been said that Europe could live on what America throws away .- maybe, but America could partially equip l1e1' vast. fighting forces with what we, you and I, could turn over to scrap collection agencies. The modern army travels on rubber, hundreds of thousands of pounds of it. More than likely the very tires on the truck in which your son or brother is riding' were made from rubber saved when you drove 40 m.p.h. instead of 65, or when you stopped gently instead of slamming on the brakes. By careful treatment, tires and other rubber articles can be made to carry on far beyond their normal capacities. NVhat about the car in your driveway? ls it a hog? At this time when gasoline and oil are rapidly becoming scarce, please try to conserve them. Walk to work or to the store next time. Instead of taking that trip out to California or the Grand Canyon this summer, inspect some of the sights close to home. Allied tanks and mobile gun units fighting in all parts of the world need these fuels far worse than you or 1. When you visit the garage, have the serviceman check all parts of your car to increase its efficiency and de- crease its fuel consumption. Share your car with your neighbors who work at the same plant or office where you do. Everyone of us has his sweet tooth. But this is a time of shortage. Sugar is a vitally important energy food and is needed in large quantities by our Army and Allies. Axis submarines hinder shipment from Puerto Rico and the NVest Indies and some sugar is used in manufacturing alcohol tor munitions. Since we are the ones who can best afford to do without it, our consumer supply is rationed. XVhen we speak of the hardships of rationing, sharing, and saving, let us remember the desperate situation existing in Europe. Let us all do our share. Accept rationinig' willingly and, by applying the S principle in all our undertakings, we shall save democracy. They also serve who only share and save!
