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.

Every passenger car in America must be used for war-winning purposes. That's why it's imperative you share your car whenever you go shopping. A recent check of Ann Arbor shopping district traffic showed only 1.8 persons per car--a vert unenviable record. Remedy this by organizing car-sharing shopping clubs, using your car for shopping ONLY when necessary and then ONLY if you share it with others.

"Anyone who has seen Sgt. M. G. (Red) Howard directing traffic on a busy Ann Arbor intersection would immediately recognize the above gesture, but the setting might seem strange. "Red" is showing off his garden at 410 W. Washington St., which he says is one of the best "if not the best" in the city. Numerous friends and neighbors who have viewed it are inclined to agree with the veteran police official in his estimate of his plot.
