At such plants the crude aluminum powder is placed in•furnaces. lWith it is mixed cryolite, a white trans- lucent inineral. Cryolite comes from lvigtut. Greenland, where the only known commercial deposit in the world is !located. And as it is so es- sential in the manufacture of gamin - um one can well imagine that in their anxiety to take over control of Greenland, Britain, Canada and the United ;States had this in mind as well as the necessity of preventing Hitler from establishing air (base, there. It is saki that cryolite has late- ly been made synthetically, but in anywn case the Germans, out off 'fro Greenland's supply, must the affected. When the electric current has fused the cryolite !the powdery aluminum stuff is dissolved in it at a heat of about 1,000 degrees Centigrade. 'Fin- ally 'thv aluminum is deposited in a 'molten mass at the 'bottom of the 'bo - nen, leaving some, if not most, of the oryolite. The strike at Arvida eaaused 'the furnaces to cool off and it seems .that 'the hardened deposit must bechipped a>'ut. Cast into 510 -pound ingots, the al- uminum is 'remelted and impurities skimmed off the surface. Alloys can he added during the re -melting of a metal which is so susceptible to fab- rication that it can be rolled into thick plates for 'trains eer Ihridges or into sheets so thin 'that ten of theme are no thicker than a single sheet ofnewsprint. 'When .Germany, in 11'9318, passed the o ,annual output of the United States in n1 aluminum those who understood the 1, significance were ;seriously alarmed Leat+ly, Germany, with all the lands she holds in thrall, has been produc- ing more that 900,000.000 pounds of aluminum year—which is half again as much as the United States has been turning out.

So essential is aleminatm to Amteri- ran industry in carrying out its de- fense program and supplying air- planes to Britain that American Boy and 'Girl iScouts have been ringing dooilbells from •coast to coast in a drive to secure aluminum pots, pans, bottle stoppers and whatnot to help satisfy the national demand. No less than 1,300,000,000 (pounds of aluminium will be required for Ameri- can and (British military 'purposes iby the United States in '1942. And if not e pound were used dor civilian .pur- poses present output of the white metal would see American production of aircraft just 225 per cent (below the goal. American officials are now des- perately striving to lift production for !1940 to ;$600,000,000 'pounds. As the manufacture of elatminun requires huge quantities of electric-' sty, American householders have (been nirged to reduce their consasmiption of current to the minimum. The 1942 supply of •caerrent for aluminum would •use as much as that consumed by half occupied buildings in the IU.S.A, Commercial use of aluminum has Ibsen constantly expanding. It is now employed tor such varied things as streamlined trains, milk bottle saps, bridges, toothpaste tubes, electric calbles and paint.

E. McTavish Director of Partsand 'Service, Gen- eral Motors (Products of Canada !Lim- ited, after cementation with General !Motors. engineers and service experts. These hints are offered iby !Mr. IMe- Tavish to the iCanadian motoring pub- lic, with Mr. McTavish's, 'comment that a maximum; of econcnny is built into the modern automobile !but that there are certain things that the mot- orist 'himself must do •to eliminate av- aidable waste of gasoline and oil. Here is Mr. 'MeTavish's list: 1. Accelerate gently. ''A fast get- away may be spectacular, but it wastes gasoline. 2. !Do not stay in second gear !be- yond 20 m1!p.h. Roaring second gear speeds devour large quantities of fuel. 3. Start to decelerate a sufficient distance from your stopping point to allow the momentum of the car to carry you along with a minimum use of gasoline. 4. Drive at moderate speeds. Rem- ember the best economy is Obtained at speeds r5 to 3 mob. The faster you drive above this speed the greater the regtiirentents of feel and oil per mile. 5. Keep your engine toned up for the (best efficiency. Dirty spark plugs can waste ore gallon of gas every ten used. Tightly adjusted valves not only cause ;burned valves, but result in poor fuel economy. i3•gnition points properly adjusted, and ignition prop- erly tinted, will give you the best per- formance and '.greater 'fuel economy. 6, Keep 'jots car well lubricated. Keep the tires inflated to the prcwper Pressure. shake 'urc the parking brake is in the completely released position. Im other words, let your car roll free- ly. 7. .Deni let your engine idle more than is necessary. Even an Idling en- gine constumes gasoline. S. Do not .postpone a necessary en- gine overhaul. Worn rings drastically reduce engine power, and result in more oil and gasoline being consumed. 9. Watch the •choke, especially if it is manually operated. Don't forget to push it to the "off" .position as quick- ly as 'possible after starting a cold en- gine. 10. Avoid pumping the accelerator up and down. This pumps a slug of gasoline out of the carburetor every time you make a downward motion. In conclusion, Mr. IMeTavish draws attention to another 'fuel waster. Don't overfill the gasoline tank. The gas station attendant naturally wants to .put all the gasoline he possibly tan in your tank ;but quite often he will spill some !(far whish you pay) in trying to get that last quant in. And remember that gasoline expands with heat. and if you park your car in the sun with the tank dull, that expanding gasoline has got to go somewhere and that will be nut of the gas tank vent.

He is a gasoline SAVER. He will urge you to buy less instead of more. He will point out ways and ineans of saving gasoline. He will tell you all about the "50/50" PIedge to cut your gas consumption by fifty per cent. He will invite you to sign. This proud and patriotic sticker for your car will mark you as a member of the wise and thoughtful band of car owners co-operating with the Govern- ment to save gasoline. This is entirely a voluntary movement. It is not rationing. This the Government hopes to avert. But we are faced with a critical short- age of gasoline due to the diversion of tankers for overseas service and to the growing needs of our Fighting Forces. There is no call for panic—no need for alarm —but this war is being fought with gasoline and we ' are fighting for our very lives. Sign the Pledge today and continue to save fifty per cent of your gasoline consumption. It is also vitally important that you reduce the use of domestic and commercial fuel oil. • REMEMBER The slower you drive, the more you save 1 1.1 a 1 r ,i:*.• , c„!be Gover iirlent oif,.thhe, DOMINION OF CANADA ' • Acting through THE'HONOURABLE C.
