These will all be sorted Thursday evening and most of the salvage will be on its way next week to take its place in the War Industries that are making the machines to destroy Hitlerisrn, Housewives are asked to save all tooth paste, shaving cream and sim- ilar metal tubes, and deposit them in the receptacle provided in your drug store, cigar or department store. It is now against the law to destroy or throw away any collapsible tube. Consider what one tube will do. It will supply enough tin to line the water bottles of twenty soldiers; one tube will plate twenty water can- teens; one tube will supply vital parts for twenty shell cases; 60 tubes provide all the tin necessary for sol- der in the electrical connections of a Flying Fortress, There is no tin pro- duced in Canada, and through the loss of Malaya and the Dutch East Indies our basic supply has been cut off. The urgent need of tin cannot be too strongly stressed. It is used in the making of Bren guns, tanks, bronze bearings, high pressure valves on planes, electrical equipment for aircraft, and in many other ways.
