'The Mayor has held the position only one year, He will have more to say later in the matter, he said. Killed do Action Word has been received at Auburn, that Guardsman Brock L. Bendall was killed in action on the Western Front on October 31 while serving with a tank unit. He enlisted in 1940 and had been overseas - two years.

And this was accomplished while they were making more essential type shoes for war work- • erg, who wear out their shoes faster than they do in Melt:normal employment. THE DISAPPEARING ACT OF RUBBER-SOLE SHOES In normal times most young Canadians got at 4) least one pair of rubber soled, canvas-top shoes a year. But natural rubber supplies fell into enemy hands, and manufacture of rubber footwear was drastically curtailed. We're now using reclaimed and synthetic rubber in these shoes-there have been more of them this year and there will be more next year. Leather-soled shoes have had to be used in place of this rubber- soled footwear but shoes made of leather need more care than running shoes. When they don't get it they wear out more quickly; when they get wet they must be dried slowly, away from direct heat-and they should be greased also. It's not always a case of poor quality; it's poor care. LEATHER GOES TO `You've got to have good strong leather for children's shoes, but the soldiers are taking most of ours for their boots. For these leathers, a substantial portion of the hides came from South Amer- ica and other countries. War cut down these imports and there have been difficulties in getting enough of these and our own hides tanned into leather due to shortage of workers. The prb- dtiction of high grade leather shoes has, however, been Main- There are very large war I168 of leather -for 11180110.e,, in footwear, A. soldier re- quires four; pairs shoes in the first year of his service and about three pairs pet year thereafter. But, what is toore.uti, portant? he needs to have hie shoes re.soled four Or five times a year. His shoes are of the highest quality leathers chtairmble5 leaving the other grades of leather for civilian use, Airmen tieed leather for jackets and mitts, War factories need leather for belting and farmers need leather for harness. Leather ..the best leathers-has gone to war. TURNING HIDES INTO SHOES WA R tamed at the highest level con- sistent with the labour and mate- rials available. While shoe fac- torieS have been working over- time, factory capacity for civi- • Ilan shoes cannot be expanded in wartime and it's not possible to, change plants from the mann- facture of one type of shoe to another,--for instance, from wb- men's to children's, The pro- cesses, the machines and the lasts are different.
