War Production May
(Suffer By Rubber
Lack
By the beginning of 1943 the
shortage of rubber may become so
critical that its use for war and es-
sential purposes may have to be cur-
tailed, Alan H. Williamson, Control-
ler of Supplies, said today.
As the only possible immediate an-
swer to the shortage of crude rubber,
Mr. Williamson urged every Canadian
to re -double his efforts to dig out'
and turn in scrap rubber. He said
the plan announced by the Post Of-
fice and the National Salvage Com-
mittee for collection, by rural post
offices, and nail couriers in Ontario
and Quebec, of all scrap rubber left
beside the rural post .boxes, or in the
post offices, was worked out in co-
operationwith the Department of
Munitions and Supply. "0n the suc-
cess of the plan may depend the suc-
cess of a vital part of our war pro-
gram during the critical year ahead
of us," said Mr. Williamson.
The Canadian public has done
splendidly in answer to the appeal
made in May," he went .on. "As a
result, the reclaim plants are able to
work at full capacity and a reassur-
4ng reserve stockpile has been . ac-
cumulated. But it must not be for-
gotten that for the past eight months
less. and Less crude rubber has been
made available to the public in the
forma of titres, and other civilian ar-
ticles. This eventually will mean a
substantial drop in the amount of
scrap rubber which can be gleaned.
It follows, therefore, that the re-
serves of scrap now on hand will not
outlast the winter unless a very real
effort is' made to pile up still more
scrap rubber."
Mr. Williamson pointed out that
unless summer residents and those
in rural areas gather and turn in
their scrap before the freeze-up,
there will be no opportunity to do
so until the spring or summer of
1943. "That may be too late," said
Mr. Williamson. "The scrap rubber
will be needed during the winter and
it must be gathered now."
BELGIAN PILOT GETS GERMAN JUNKIERS IN HIS F11tST COMBAT
A Belgian sergeant -pilot: of the devastating fire the Junkers lost so
much, height that its starboard wing,
hitting the sea, ploughed through the
water (as depicted her in an artist's
impression, of the scene). Simul-
taneously the port engine belched
black smoke. When the Blenheim
flew back over the spot the Junkers
had disappeared.
Belgian Air Force when on a navigat-
ional flight off the Scottish coast in an
R.A.F. Coastal Command Blenheim
fighter., sighted a Junkers'. 88. Immed-
iately he and his gunner attacked,
pouring streams of bullets into the
German aircraft. Banking steeply in
a Vann attempt to avoid the Blenheinr's
