rationing together with my tire inspection record. By way of
asking for this application for a B card I may state that I am

sity in the National War FPumd and Comunity Chest drive; member
of the Board of Directors of Commmity Chest, president of
Lawrence Rotary Club, member of Chamber of Commerce, member of
Salvation Army Board.

As a member of these various committees and organizations it is
necessary for me to drive many miles a day in some instances in
making comections or making speeches, attending meetings, and so
forth. As a member of the University faculty I am often called
upon to speak in the different schools in Lawrence as well as ad-
jacent to Lawrence.

As state chairman of the Recreation Committee of the Parent-
Teachers association, I speak next month at Salina and Pratt,
Kansas. Also, on November 15 I speak at Iola, Kansas, for the
Farm Bureau of the Kansas State College Extension Division, with
Dean Umberger. I respond only to these calls as they apply to
the necessary activities on the home front.

As chairman of the Third War Loan drive and the National War

_ Pumd drive for the University it has been necessary for me te
make many trips down town taking the collections to the Chamber
of Commerce and making other necessary mileage trips in comection
with thie work.

Sincerely yours,
