It taught us that you can't keep your independence without foresight and sacrifice. We learned what we could do without when we had to. So we know that a real nest -egg means more than just compulsory savings. It means all the War. Savings Stamps and Cer- tificates we,can lay our hands on. They're safe. And they're an invest- ment every Canadian should make. Why? Because they help equip our fighting men to' protect everything we've got. And because, too, they pay back $5.00 for every $4.00 we put aside now. We've got to win this war no matter what it costs — and we've got to , prepare against the time when the boys come home. Buy War Savings Stamps from druggists, banks, post offices, telephone offices, de- partment stores, grocers, tobacconists atad other retail scores. Certificates may be. purchased for immediate delivery in denominations of $J, $1O, $25 front Banks, Trust Companies and Post Offices. National War MAFiinnance Committee 434. FSNAPSHOT CU1LD MAKING PICTURE STORIES Up's-a-daisy! Here's Just ane of the appearing pictures from a series showing the big events Ir a baby's day. Picture series, you'll find, are always more interesting than just single shots. DERHAPS. I'm wrong, but T think the reason most amateur pho- tographers don't try to make picture stories -,or series of pictures—is that they believe they ]sok the nec- essary equipment, or subject matter, Well, let me kill such rumors right now. The truth is. you can make complete picture stories with any camera if youill just try. Further- more, you don't .have 'to havea spec-. tacular, subject to make:a good set of pictures; • For instance, the snapshot which' accompanies this story i5 pant pf a Picture series which showed the big events'. dieing' ono day in a;•baby's • -life, The series., started.. with .ha another-]iftirig him from his crib'.

Goodyear's answer to this question is :: : Yes! "Synthetic" rubber can and will, be made in adequate quantities for all essential needs: More than fifteen years ago; when the whole world' was at peace, Goodyear started work on an extensive "synthetic" rubber research program. We explored hundreds of different chemical compounds, and from the :'date of our first patent, 1927, we have been granted, or have applied for, sixty-five patents covering the manufacture of "synthetic" rubber. Out of this work came success s: Goodyear Chemigum. (Pronounced Kenf-ee-gum). By compounding, Chemigum can be endowed withqualities definitely superior to natural rub- ber for many purposes. Having achieved this much, Goodyear built the first complete plant our thecontinent for producing rubber of this type and began the manufacture of Chemigum .products for various industrial uses: There, briefly; is Goodyear's experience in ear has the • �vi'-based�n ears' experience "synthetic" rubber. Today, as an aid to United Nations' Governments, all that experi- ence, plus sixty-five important patents, have been pooled with the knowledge and resources of other manufacturers, so that a united effort can be made to achieve quantity production at the earliest possible date. WHAT ABOUT "SYNTHETIC" TIRES? The first "synthetic" Goodyear tires were made from Chemigum in 1938, These tires actually out performed, in most respects; tires made from natural rubber. But Chemigum tires were not made available to the general motoring public for the simple reason that the cost was too high. It was seen at that time, that this cost could be drastically reduced only by quantity production, Today; Goodyear is actively working for ' that quantity production and for the not too distant day when "synthetic tires will be produced at or near the cost of tires made from natural rubber: Please do not misunderstand us : there is no.apparent prospect of "synthetic' rubber tires; •or. any other kind, being available for the , duration, except tires for war and essential civilian uses. War demands are too great for that : t : and ever growing. THE SITUATION TODAY IS THIS The big job has been done—because Goodyear and others were farsighted. That big job was finding and knowing how to use a brand-new material. 'If, when there was no need to do so, research had not been started; and had not been successful, we would have been facing fifteen years of research today instead of having it behind us. We give you this information so that Canadians will know that Goodyear; the leader in the rubber industry, is wide awake; straining every resource and making every effort to ensure an adequate supply of "synthetic" rubber in this country.

The great Disraeli once said: "It is much easier to be eriticai than cor- rect." Constructive criticism may be and often is, helpful; but destruetive criticism robs one of courage,and, us+. uiily degenerates into fault finding. There is always something' in others which is worthy of praise, and appre- ciation lead'sto further effort.

ELIZABETH W. SEAVER SAIL ON A SUMMER SEA The wave overlaps the circle of rest- less sea. In the wave hide a moon and a shell and the 1eaf'of a tree. The sea presses tight on the curve of the shifting sand, As White and as open to love as the lifted. hand. The sand is a ceiling of quiet to the turbulent deep Where the earth hides her fire.— Where the lava and whirlpool sleep; And over the sand and the sea and the restless hollow, We bend the slant of our sail in the winds that follow, We lean like the, wave, like the face that is watching above. We move like the tide of air in the lifted wing of a dove. SARA VAN ALSTYNE ALLEN ANNUAL QUESTION Is it For seeds alone, Or can it be the fink Ilnow.s how he blends with broWn and gold Sunflowers?
