OUR FAMILY went through hard times
. once. 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

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; •

• The, big question Canadians are asking
today is, "Can 'synthetic' rubber be obtained in
time and in sufficient quantities for ozr fighting
forces and essential civilian services?'
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.

CRITICISM.
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.
