Rubber Supply Adequate For Five-Year War
A. J. Slatter of Athens Machine Co. told the Rotary Club the United States can last five years without rubber imports due to a 1,000,000 ton synthetic stockpile and growing natural rubber reserves. He said synthetic rubber costs 23 cents a pound versus 30 for natural, with butyl rubber favored for inner tubes. Slatter predicted distinct tire types for summer and winter and noted redesigned snow and mud tires. Two new members were welcomed and an induction was given at Berry Hotel.
