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).

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
