Jug Bridge Is Heritage, Not Temporary Fix
In a Frederick County opinion piece dated April 10 1942 the Jug Bridge is urged to remain a permanent by-pass feature. The author argues tearing down its arches to build a temporary bottleneck wastes historic beauty and risks delaying a lasting by-pass, calling for public pressure to fund a lasting permanent bridge rather than detours.

Drivers Urged to Use Common Sense on Tires During Shortage
Conservation reports conflict over tire use urging motorists to stay off roads unless necessary while others encourage practical driving. Some say no extra tires will be issued except to preferred classes, others say supplies will not be as grim and most cars will stay on the road. Drivers should slow down, inspect more often, and maintain better upkeep as gasoline rationing looms for parts of the East Coast, leaving many to decide with personal judgment amid uncertainty.

Secretary Jesse Jones testifies before the Truman committee on the British Dutch cartel that controlled 97 percent of world natural rubber, its private status with government approval, and how stockpiling and production were managed to keep prices high while the U.S. exported rubber to allies.
