...over a seven foot wall, clambering over it in a manner similar to the way Tarzan swings from tree to tree, with the aid of ropes. The most interesting part of the Obstacle Course is known as the Wire Maze. This is a substitute for the famous tire series that is used in football to develop agility and coordination of mind and muscle. The men who survive that obstacle have a treat in store for them...
...that time the synthetic rubber program should also be going full blast. That will make guayule production look like peanuts. But unless synthetic tire technology improves enormously between now and next year, every pound of guayule will still be badly needed, because it still takes some natural rubber to make a satisfactory heavy-duty tire.

He sees the network's 6,000,000 Yankee listeners as customers for General Tire in a boom to follow the war. Said he : "New England is a cross section of the best in America. It has everything-big cities, small cities, agricultural areas. . . . And New England people pay their bills-promptly. . . . We do hope to bring to the network some of the spirit...
