and scrupulous care are required
in the exercise of such powers)
We hope it will be unnecessary to
actually use the powers granted
Iby the order and that the owners
will at their own free will either
rent or sell to persons who are in

Authority for requisitioning was
granted by an order issued by
War Food Administrator Chester
C. Davis. It is broad in scope in
lthat any type of p equipment use-

Eye Requirements
1 Lowered For Girls
Defective vision may no longer
be a cause of rejection for women
,seeking enlistment into the WA
VES and SPARS, recruiters of
I the Olympia Navy recruiting sub-
] station announced this week.
Recruiters are now authorized
I“to’ waive defective vision which
I
is correctible to 20-20 where de-
fective vision is not due to or-
ganic disease of the eye and the
applicant is in all other respects
well qualified for enlistment.”
Navy recruiters urge all women
who have failed on the eye test to
call again at the recruiting sta—
tion in the Old Capitol building
and renew their applications.
The minimum height require-
ment has also been modified to
4 feet, eleven inches. The mini-
mum weight is 95 pounds.

Up in Canada thousands of ex—
perienced loggers are in the Army.
It was announced they would be
furloughed for work in the woods,
upon individual application. Only a
dozen applied.
Men stick to that uniform, once
in it.
The Case of Ben Gerske .2;
There’s a name familiar to many
of the woods and mills, in both pine
and fir. Ben Gerske is stationed on
some island in the South Seas war
zone as a man of the fighting “Sea-
bees”—the Navy’s construction bat-
talions. He writes graphically of his
experiences in a letter to the news-
paper of his old union. It- is an ex-
pression of highest fighting morale,
though a simple account of the lit-
tle things of every day—the weather,
the scenery, washing clothes, ex-
periences with “mosquitoes and les-
ser beasts,” and such-like. You have
to go between the lines to get a
grip on the dangers and hardships.
There are thousands more of Ben
Gerske’s breed in our fighting forces
all over the world, our men of the
woods, loggers in uniform. Some
will never see the green peaks and
built up in the civilian war worker. i
One thing on this is sure—we need I
more letters, more bommunication, I
between men in uniform like Ben
Gerske and the war workers in the I
woods. His letter concludes: 1

er cannot expect new tires for a
long time, at least until rubber
is no longer a critical problem,
and every owner of a car must
realize that. conservation of tires
must be strictly maintained. Driv-
ing speeds must be held down,
non-essential driving reduced, and
carelessness eliminated.
“Rules and regulations are of
little effect, if cooperation of the
American people is not secured.
To them, I appeal—«it is their
problem and theirs to help solve.
Only by present—day cooperation
will they provide themselves with
speedier relief from the remain-
ing burdens of rationing.
“The rubber problem has not
yet been completed solved. Ev—
ery American must realize that
except for essential necessities,
rubber cannot become a gener-
ally availablé commodity for a
long time, and that extensive,
conservation of tires and of other
rubber products must still be con-
tinued. The next four to six
months will be the critical per-I
iod.
“It is not necessary to repeatI
the importance of maintaining a|

“There has been much confu-
sion as to policies in connection
with passenger care tires. The
most important and largest inven-
tory of rubber in existence is in
the tires of passenger cars. A re-
cappable carcass is a net saving,
because a new tire need not be
issued. Freeing recaps from ra-
tioning is a positive conservation
measure which extends the life of
the tires now on passenger cars.
.New tires will be issued only to
essential drivers.”
