The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1942-09-10, Page 3Airport Wins from All-Stars Th© second game between th© AU-Stars and the Airport didn’t leave much doubt about a winner, The first game between these two teams ended in a 7-7 tie. The pro­ ceeds which amounted to about $41 were given to Art Haist to help de­ fray his expenses from an injury re­ ceived in the first game. One run in the sixth inning was all that saved the All-Stars from a whitewashing. Greenfield pitching in masterful style allowed but five hits in nine innings. On the other side of th© score sheet things were very different. The Airport boys pushed twelve runs across the plate connected for a total of fifteen The Airport had three errors the All-Stars made four mis- runs first and. hits, and cue© Th Airport teed off will three in the opening inning, Bracey up socked a double, Penaiuna walk­ ed, Spring filed to Bestard and Clarke got on on an error. Webb grounded to Creech at first and Levy came through with a single. Bracey, Penaiuna and Clarke all scored. Only z four men faced Dinney in tire sec­ ond. Three singles in the third Scored Spring and Clarke to make At 5-0. Webb scored in the fifth and again in the seventh along with Clarke. Only four men batted in the sixth. In the eighth the. Airport scored their most runs with four. Bracey, Spring, Clarke and Greenfield all came in. Wright was the privileged mem­ ber of the All-Stars, being the only one to reach the plate, He "connect­ ed with a double in the sixth "and scored on an error, He, along With Bestard, got tour of the five hits, each getting two. Wein got a double for the other hit. Webb and Bracey clouted three • hits apiece for the Airport while Clarke, Levy, Barter and Green-- field each got two,’ Spring was the other hitter with a single, While nearly every player on the All-Stars made one sensational catch the Airport were much the better,, team. They have played a lot since the last game and were in fine form, Greenfield was right on and was really zipping them across the plate. He struck out seven batters and those who did get a hold of his delivery only managed a weak attempt which easily was handled by his team­ mates.

Individual Mailings But Not Regular .Subscribers Affected by Ruling ■ Newspapers may not be mailed overseas by individuals, but there is no restriction on newspapers go­ ing overseas to regular subscribers. This is the ruling made by Ottawa a few days ago. Newspapers being shipped over­ seas made' a tremendous bulk and took a great deal of extremely valu­ able shipping space. Many persons Were wrapping papers and sending them to soldiers. Rapers wrapped in this manner take considerable room, and it was for this reason that it was necessary to impose restric­ tions upon newspapers being mail- - ed overseas by individuals. Newspapers shipped directly from the publishing offices overseas go flat and in bundles. This makes, them easier to handle and they take' considerably less space than the same number of papers sent by in­ dividuals. For this reason, no res-' trictions have been placed on these shipments. The authorities are an,x* ious that the Canadian soldiers re­ ceive all the news from home, and they hope that th© new regulations will make it possible for” the ship­ ment of newspapers under the new conditions to be continued. The present situation is' simply this: Toil as an individual cannot wrap up: a copy of The Timss-Ad- vocate and mail it to a soldier m: civilian overseas. However, the same soldier or civilian c.an re* 0 ceive the Times-Advocate regularly if it is being mailed to him direct­ ly from this office as a regular subscriber to* the paper. , There is no extra charge for scriptions sent to soldiers in the British Isles, the rate being the usual two dollars a year, postage cost is absorbed by the pub­ lisher. sub' 50 YEARS AGO I The enumeration., return of (Exeter Post Office from which worthy post master's salary is rat­ ed, during the week of September 4 is as follows: 876 letters posted at this office for Canada; 132 for i other countries; 435 post cards for Canada; 11 for other countries; 332 'transient newspapers, etc,; 39 printer’s copy, photographs, policies ■ etc.; 4 parcels by parcel post; 7 I parcels of ordinary merchandise;' i foreign parcels, none, Total amount ) of revenue, $42.9'0, I Biddulph’s voters’ list this year [contains the names of 870‘ persons, 34'8 of whom are qualified to serve as jurors, - Fourteen mills on the dollar is the rate struck for the current year by our Municipal board.

Only women in the age group 20 to 24 will be affected. Registration is compulsory. Those who are fo register are: 1, All unemployed women, mar­ ried or single, whether previously employed or not. f 2/ All employed women not hold­ ing unemployment insurance regis­ tration cards. 3, All domestics, such as proprietors, businesses, nurses, servants, teachers, ployed by industrial and charitable institutions, excluding members Of religious orders, Other age groups will ube Galled upon to register later. Mrs. Eaton said, with the registration split into small groups to facilitate analysis of the registration findings, and to avoid congestion at registration centres. After registration of all age groups has been completed, women in each group will be called for ail interview in which they will be given suggestions as to where they can best serve. While the registration itself is compulsory, there is no intention of using compulsion to obtain labor, Mrs. Baton said, adding, “I am con­ vinced that women, are willing and ready to be .told where they can best serve.” ■WF 1 I the i our THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE, THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 10tf>, 1942 will Officer Administering, Veterans Guard of Canada, 95 Rideau Street, Ottawa, Ontario, I am a veteran of the last war.

Served in the last war with .............L....,........... (narhe of unit here) (Signed) ® The big question Canadians are asking . today is, "Can 'synthetic' rubber be obtained in time and in sufficient quantities for our fighting forces and essential civilian services?' Goodyear’s answer to this question is s s s 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.’ Oiit of this Work came success;: t Goodyear Chemigum. (Pronounced Kem’-ee-gum). By compounding, Chemigum can be endowed with qualities definitely superior to natural rub-, bef for many purposes. Having achieved thi^ much, Goodyear built the first complete plant on the continent for producing rubber of this type and. began the manufacture of Chemigum products for various industrial uses; There, briefly; is Goodyear’s experience in 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: : : 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; & ABOUT THE TIRES YOU HAVE TODAYS Add thousands of miles to the life of your present tires through Goodyear's Tire Life Extension Plan.
