GETS FIRST TIRE CERTIFICATE: The first man in Washtenaw county to be permitted to buy a tire under new federal rationing regulations is Edward W. Frederick, 1741 Green Rd. He is pictured here receiving his purchase certificate from Mrs. Luella M. Smith, county clerk and tire rationing administrator. The county tire board approved his application to buy a tire for a pickup truck he uses to haul milk from his Ann Arbor township farm to a dairy. Forty inspection stations have been designated throughout the country and the rationing board will meet every Monday, Wednesday and Friday night to act on applications to buy tires.
