THE NEW YEAR
I wish you joys to heal it,
If the new year must hold pain;
And quite a lot of rainbows,
If you do have rain.
I wish you heaps of roses,
So the thorns won't hurt at all,
And ladders made of little hopes,
To climb each hampering wall.
I wish you work and its rewards
Until the new year ends;
And pease, and rest, and happiness,
And 'friends, and friends, arttl
friends.

Only Enough. Rubiaae kelt
Hand To Last One Year
With rubber in such a bright spot-
light these days, we decided to ask
one of the country's leading rubber
authorities some questions about the
emergency situation.
Oazr authority was A. G. Partridge,
President of the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company, Limited, and our
first question was "Why is there such
an acute shortage at the present
time?"
"There isn't," he said, "that is, no
immediate shortage. At present
there is enough on hand for vital
neede,to last with careful conserve,
tion for perhaps a year, but welve
got to think of the future.
"The future shortage will be caused
by two main factors—first, more and
more rubber is needed for the armed
forces! seated, our chief source of
supply is threatened by the Taps."
"Where is this chief source?" we
asked. '
In the "Middle East"—the cultiva-
ted plantations of Malay, the Nether-
lands Indies, the Phillippines, Ceylon,
Vurma, French Indo-Ohina and Siam.
`When- you consider that these areas
which produce better than 96% of the
world's rubber supply are in the thick
of the fighting right now, and that
they lie 12,000 miles away over water
patrolled by enemy submarines and
ships, you realize the emergency
we're fading."
"How is it that we have to depend
on such faroff sources for our crude
rubber supply," was our next query.
"That's a long story," said Mr. Par-
tridge, "but briefly it's bemuse an
Englishman, Sit Remy Wickham by
name, transplanted Brazilian rubber
tree seeds in Ceylon with suoh sue,
cess that plantations soon were star-
ter) in many areas of the Middle East
"Twenty-five years ago, 90% of
the world's rubber came from wild
trees in the jungles. of "Brazil. Of
course, at that time the world demand
for exude rubber was but a fraction
of what it is today. As a source,
however, Brazil was not practical, be-
cause wild rubber trees :might be
found as far as a mile apart and the
native rubber gatherers were com-
pelled to travel long distances to get
rubber, After that it had to be ship-
ped, perhaps, 2000 miles down - the
Amazon River before even starting
its ocean, voyage to the world mark-
ets. So Sir Henry Wickham really
did the world a great service by
starting up the plantations of the
"Middle East," where enough rubber
could be produced to keep up with the
tremendous increase in demand!"
"But can't rubber be grown nearer,
'home'?" we put in.
"That same idea was wottying us
at Goodyear when we set up 'our first
plantation in the Phillippines. Even
then we foresaw the possible threat
of conquest to our rubber life -line .
and we didn't like to the looks of it.
• "Now in the Middle East, substan-
Cal areas of high -yielding rubber
have seen scientifically developed by
careful selection and cross breeding
of trees front the enormous plantings
of the same type of Hevea rubber
tree that grows wild in the jungles
of Brazil
"But a devastating leaf -blight had
defeated every attempt to replant this
highly bred stock in its native conti-
nent.
"However, after endless experimen-
ts, the leaf -blight bugbear has been
licked by our company, and we have
transplanted high -yield rubber -trees
from our Phillippine plantations to
Panama and Costa Rico, where they
are now growing.
"And, an important :point is that all
the potential rubber growing areas
of tropical America are protected,by
a chain of naval and air bases.
"But" Mr. Partridge added grave-
ely, "it is a long range program
which may take another 15 years or
more to complete, so we can only look
upon it as future security and not im-
mediate relief:"
"Well then what about `immediate
relief ?"
"Immediate relief lies in sacrifice.
Victory must be won the hard way.
All of us' must help conserve rubber.
Our government has already placed a
wise restriction on the sales of new
tires and rubber products for domes -
tie use which are not vital to :the war
effort. Everyone can helpby making
their tires last longer—through re-
treading, having' tires checked regu-
larly at reliable dealers for cuts, pro-
per inflation and so on; by purchas-
ing used tires and by many other
means now being advocated.
"Besides this sacrifice, present re-
lief lies in the develbpinent..of synthe-
tics and reclaiming old rubber for re-
processing."
"But how good is synthetic rub-
ber?»
"In some ways it is superior to
natural rubber. It has increased ten-
sile strength, resistance to aging,
abrasion and oils, and is more resis-
tant to -oxidation. At present it costs,
more, but it gives promise of approa-
ching the cost of natural rubber if
produced on a large scale. In the
United States, Goodyear has been
producing its synthetic, `Chemigum',
for some time, and is stepping up
production as fast as possible.
"Rest assured',",': concluded Mr.
Partridge, "the rubber industry; will
work out some solution but mean
while, it is vitae + that our wedges
Tubber supplies be conserved for our
fighting forces and the industriesand
transportation systems that keep
them supplied."

Crisp frosty air and fresh snow-
falls have ed thousands of ski en-
thusiasts into the open, and winter
sports are now in full swing every-
where throughout Canada. Skiing is
again proving to be one of the most
attractive forms of winter recreation
and has been responsible in a large
measure for the growing populaarity
and expansion of winter sports in the
Dominion in recent years.
At many well known ski centres
horse drawn sleighs meet the "ski
specials," as they are called, and
there is always a crowd on hand to
greet the new winter tourists. Brigh-
tly clad, rosy-cheeked children. dance
and shout with glee to the accompani-
men of jingling sleigh -bells. Cider
people conjure up happy, pleasant
memories of bygone days when sleigh

transportation in their locality.
It is really hard to imagine a more
picturesque and stimulating sight than
hundreds of ski enthusiasts tumbling
out of the train Iaden with skis and
other winter paraphernalia. Clad' ie

expression lights their faces as they
trek to the distant snow -clad hills'
where they have a rendezvous with
King Winter. Soon they will be trac-
ing fairy patterns on the white slopes
and the yells of "Track!" will fill the
air.
Thousands of lakes, large and small,

children and grown-ups alike are tab-
oganning and bob -sledding on the hill-
sides—full of the joy of living.
Wintertime is surely playtime ie
Canada, and even in these days of toil
and stress many workers from office,
factory, shop and other walks of life
find time, after working hours and:
over the •weekend, to' refresh their
minds' and bodies, by engaging in one
form or another of winter sports. Th

Canada's National Parks, which

ly true of some of the parks situated
in the Rocky and' Selkirk mountains.

WINTER PICTURE PLANS
Elephants on the piano keys—a simple, neat, and amusing shot of the,
'table -top" type. Table -topping is a good snapshot speclalty—and there:
are many others.
'0R years I have been suggesting
riu that every amateur adopt a snap-
shot specialty—and now I find I.
have made two converts at home.
Jack has decided to specialize in
table -top pictures for the rest of
this winter, and 'Ann is going to
make a snapshot biography of; the
family pup.
The choices are wise, I think, for
the winter months. Both offer plen-
ty of interesting opportunities -and
plenty of material. Wehave an at-
tic full of discarded toys, to keep
Jack busy; and as for Ann's pros-
pects—the pup is never the same
two days in succession. So, by the
time warm weather comes,. her
"puppy book" should be in fine
shape. r
I can think of many other winter
snapshot specialties—some of welch
might appeal to you more than
these—such as character.studies,
costume pictures, story -telling "pic-
ture "sequences," a snapshot story.
of the whole family's winter actio.
ities, or even the story of just one
member. If there's a young baby in
'your family, of course you already
have a 'specialty—the day-to-day
story of his antics, and' his reae.
tions to this funny world. No mat-
ter who you are, there's some spe-
cialty ready to hand, that will add
fun to the winter's picture taking.
The big advantage of a specialty
is that it helps you get picture:
ideas. You tako one shot—and you:
think of two others, a bit different=
or a bit better. Sack finds this to bey
ti se, time after time, when he's ar-
ranging his table -top scenes. The:
toy mouse runs away from a .toy'

frighten
otfrighten a wide-eyed doll in: the'
next shot. And, the salt that makes;

a marvelous sandy beach in an
othbr.
In Ann's case, one picture also
brings ideas for others. As she loolcsc
at each group of puppy snapshote,
she sees gaps that need to be, filled
in,' to improve the .store. And she's
learning a lot about ..taking good
pictures of animals and pets-
knowledge she can apply later. '1t
works that way with "every snap--
