A. jsome shock-absorbing RUBBER MAN EXPLAINS THE FOUR Rs OF TIRES (By Associated Press) AKRON, Nov. 3.—Re-groove, re-tread, re-build and re-cap are four important words in motor- ists’ vocabularies these days when tires can’t be re-placed. Harold Gray, technical supervisor of the KEY WEST, FLORIDA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 38, 1942 [Allied Supply Prablem B. F. Goodrich company, says the | four “re” words now confusing worried drivers have _ specific meanings. Re-groove, he says, means cut- ting new treads into old tires without adding any new ma- terials. The War Production Board has turned thumbs down on this method because it wastes the rubber cut out to make grooves. Re-tread means worn tread, shoulder ripping the and even fiber off old tires and replacing with new. Re-build is sometimes used syn- onymously with re-tread. Re-cap has two grades—top- cap, Which involves vulcanizing a new strip of tread onto worn| tires, and full-cap, which means using a wider strip to cover the! old tread and part of the tire shoulder as well. It requires less rubber than re-treadings. “Of the four,” Gray points out, | “re-capping rates with tire au- thorities as the most efficient way to make available rubber stocks} go furthest, which makes it the} best way we have to ‘keep ’em rolling’.” MAYOR AND COUNCIL | TO BE LIONS’ GUESTS i Mayor Willard M.

Republican Upswing In Nation In Today's NEW YORK, Nov. 3—A Re}! publican upswing is predicted in today’s election in the nation in} j which f hac been_figured .in sey! jeral of the polls that the present minority party will gain a number} of seats in Congress and that a Re-} publican governor will be elected! in the pivotal state of New York.
