CAR owners have been wondering just
how ' safe synthetic rubber ties are—
just how muck mileage they will give:
Firestone decided to put its tires to the
suprepe test. So a race car was equipped
with regular, stock Firestone Synthetic
Rubber" Tires, the satire ae you can buy
for : your car, and raced for 500 miles
around the Indianapolis Speedway under.
American Automobile Association super-
vision.
Wilbur Shaw, famous three -time win•
ner of the Indianapolis Sweepstakes,
volunteered to make the run. And. 'he
averaged 100;34• miler an hour, hitting
more than 135 miles an hour on the
, straightaways! Imagine the punishment
those Wes took as they pounded over
the rough brick and grinding asphalt.-.
equal'to.50,000 miles of ordinary driving!
Yet, in this grueling, tire -torturing test,
not a skid or blowout occurred.
Remember this fact when you get per
mission to buy new tires -Firestone are
the only tires made that are safety -
proved on the speedway for your pro-
tection on the
highway. ,i•'"^��

JUST
PLAIN SENSE:
The Canadian People have
made a magnificent contributionto
the common victory in Europe.
The Liberal administration
can say with honesty and justice s
This is the Government which
has directed Canada's war ef-
fort at home and abroad.
This is the Government ' which
during the war worked out a
program of full employment
and social reform.
These things are now a matter
of record and of common
knowledge.
On the basis of its record
the choice of Prime Minister King's
partyto form the next Government
of Canada is a !matter of just plain
sense!
Let the Liberal Government
finish its work

here too long.
I received a letter :from P4urt last
