Heldt, who has been pastor of St. John's Ev. Lutheran church, Honesdale,the past 25 years, announced his retirement from active ministry, at the morning service, Sunday. The scrap rubber drive netted abou 500,000 lbs. With the tremendous in crease in Army and Navy demands estimated by 1943* to be three time that of the past year, means a de cided shortage. Today we have ai army of 4,000,000, in 1943 or 1944 i will be 13,000,000. And the ail planes and trucks, which vitally nee< rubber, will take all and more thai can possibly be made and salvaged i the United States. Mr. Van Horn spoke of the car sharing plan which was working oo so well among Scintilla employees Surveys show that the percentage ha raised since last July from 2.6 to 4. meaning that where there were on and two riding to work in a car i July, now there were from four t five.
