Poltift4 Poomedont 4-351 Old tires and rubber articles end up here—ready to make Can- ada's armed forces- roll more rapidly towards Victory. The rural rub- ber drive. in Ontario and .Quebec, August 24 to September 8, gives everyone a chance to make this heap of military vehicle .tires pile up 'even higher! When, Where and Why of Rural Scrap Rubber Drive .Answering the queries of rural post office patrons and, boxholders with the rubber- drive taking place from August 24 to September 8 in .Ontario and Quebec, in connection both those. provinces, the National Salvage Com- mittee has prepared the :following list of common questions and answers for the benefit of scrap rubber contribu- tors:— Q.—"What ontribu- tors:—Q.—"What do I look for?" A.—Auto and bicycle tires and tubes;. garden hose; rubber -soled foot- wear; kneeling pads; rubber gloves; tennis and golf balls; rubber aprons; tractor tires and .tubes; hot water bottles; .rubbers, galoshes; rubber soles; rubber sponges; rubber 'tobac-r co pouches; bathing caps; syringes— almost anything that contains rubber'. Q: --"What do I' do wjth my scrap rubber•?" A.—Rural boxholders-place it on the ground under your mail box to be picked _up by your mail "courier. Patrons of rural post offices—take it to the post office, or • place designat- ed, and add it to the rubber scrap pile. Q.—"When do I do this?" A.—The soonerthe better. Q.—"What vital use will be made of. the rubber I contribute?" A;—War needs. for which your rub- ber may :be used include military ve- hicle' and warplane tires.; military footwear; fire hose; airplane detach- able pontoons; wire and cable; -mill- tasS signal •apparatus; motorcycle tires; life-saving jackets; navy hose;' shock -absorbing pads; gaskets; muni- tions workers' non -spark footwear; welding hose; military' vehicle radia-, for hose; , fire extinguishers; electric battery jars; war plant solid tires; industrial packing. " Q:—"What about the rubber I.see ,stored in rubber scrap piles?" A.—This is part of Canada's visible supply of scrap' rubber. It is urgent tn'at your ,scrap rubber be added to it aseuickly as possible so that those who are planning the best use of Canada's war machines will know how' much there is in the country. Q.—"Will anyone make any profit out of the collection of my scrap rub- ber through the post office system?" A.—No. All collecting service's are Urgent Appeal Por Rubber Within the next few weeks, all patrons of rural post offices and all rural boxholdere, in the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec will receive a special printed message from the Na- tional Salvage Committee, in connec- tion with the huge scrap rubber drive takingplace from August 24 to Sep- tember 8 in _the rural sections of both these provinces. A four-page printed card has been prepared for boxholders and resi- dents,' giving the details of +the scrap drive. Carrying a list of questions and answers on 1the rubber drive for the benefit of ruralites', the card also Contains a handy list of everyday household rubber articles that can be salve ed for collection, plus a list of the vital needs for which the salvaged rubber goods can be used. A message on the .card from Hon. W. P. • Mulock, Canada's Postmaster General, reads in part: "This is an urgent appeal to you. Canada's most pressing need is rubber. You have scrap rubber on your premises, such as old tires, scrap rubber hose, rub- ber overshoes, etc., in fact, many things of which rubber forms a part —it can be used to great advantage to Canada's war effort . , . the rural couriers, stage couriers a.nd the Post Offices are giving their services free til help Canada mett this urgent need." donated free. Sorting and marketing will be handled by reeist4ed agen- cies, operating under control of the Government owned Fairmont Com- pany ompany Limited. - Net revenues go to war charities and comforts for Can- ada's armed forces. Q.—"Is the rubber situation ser- ious?" A.—Yes. Our supply of crude 'rub- ber has been virtually cut off. Our need has increased. To make our supply of crude ,rubker go as far as possible, we must mix scrap with it. Q.—"Does the campaign pperate in cities and towns?" A.—No. Residents of cities and towns will continue to take their rub- ber direct, to their local salvage come mittees. Rubber Shortage May' --Be Critical Ely the beginning of 1943 the short- age of rubber may become so critical that its use for war and essential purposes may have to be curtailed, Alan H. Williamson, Controller of Supplies, ,said' recently. As. the only possible immediate an- swer 'to the shortage of crude rub- ber, Mr. Williamson urged every Can- adian 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 -of- fices, and mail couriers in Ontario and Quebec, of all scrap rtubb:er left beside the rural post boxes, or in the post offices, was worked' out in co - 'operation with the Department of Munitions and Supply. "On 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 seesaw- ing reserve stockpile has been accum- ulated. But it must not be forgotten that for the past eight months less and less crude rubber has ,been made available to the public in the form of tires and other civilian articles. This eventually will mean a • substantial drop in the amount of scrap rubber which can be gleaned. It f6llows, therefore, that the reserves of scrap now on hand will not outlast the win- ter unless a very real effort is made td bile up still more scrap rubber." Mr. Williamson pointed out that un- less summer residents and those in rural areas gather and turn in their scrap before the freeze-up„there will be ,po 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."

The issues upon which they relied to stampede Perlia- ment and the public were shown, to be worthless, and they were debarred by the Course of :,the controversy from dealing effectively' with an issue which, if they had• accepted it. with- out 'reservation and argued it honest- ly, might have been, found by both Parliament and the Public to be soundly based. As it 'was, .both re- mained cold and uximooed. .. * s. For this • predicament and impasse, the opposition in . Parliament can thank directly a handful of persons and institutions, the chief of whom are Mr. Meighen, Mr. George Drew and the Toronto Globe and Mall. The first named is to be blamed for his short-sighted vision on the war as a whole which embraces issues and pol- icies•apparently• far •beyond the scope of his mind. He thus hamstrung his parliamentary representatives. But this is an indirect share in the burden: of responsibility. The 'direct the, is to be borne by Mr. Drew who, not for the drat time, has fumbled a great opportunity, proved himself to be unscrupulensly partisan, and has diminished his rapidly shrinking sta- ture as a public man; and by the Globe 'and Mail whose custofnary hysteria as . usual destroyed the wor- thy purpose which, in the inception df the controversy, may well have animated its policy.

Dutton, says that theob- servation herewith quoted wasmade to 'him by William Howard Taft, some time in 1914. Taft at that time was • Kent Professor of Law at Yale, and Gauvreau was telegraph editor of the New Haven Journal -Courier: "As, abhorrent as the German mili- tary' ili- tar system is," we will have to adopt its methods if civilization is to sur- vive. The Germans ' concentrate on such things, while democracy leaves defence to the last minute. If such a state of affairs continues, some' day; in your lifetime, because you are young, you may see the end of dem- ocracy, such as we;.know it now. This trouble will continue for half a cen- tury. Germany will always have some kind of Bismarck. It would never be happy if it conquered all Europe. We must safeguard our future. Nations do not quickly mend their ways, and human nature, like one or two indi- viduals I might mention, does not change overnight."

A barn raising brought help from miles around. Skilled barn •- framers took charge; sides were chosen and com- petition between teams lent interest to the work.

The National War Finance Committee carries on. Some will serve on the committees organized to promote continued 0 sales of Bonds, War Savings Certificates and Stamps. All of us must continue to buy these securities. We must save every dollar, every cent we can—and lend our money to Canada. We must provide the money required to carry on the war —the amoney required to win the war. - Our fighters must have more ships and tanks 7 and guns and planes. They must have better ships and tanks and guns and planes tern the enemy has. We must all work, and save and lend. The sWfest investments we. .can find for our savings are Bonds, War Savings Certificates and Stamps—and they will provide money for us to buy . things that we will want when the war is ended.
