With equal numbers, equal equipment and
equal weapons, Cadada and her allies can
beat the enemy to a standstill.

MAKES FIRST TIRE
FROM SCRAP RUBBER
Climaxing experiments in the use of
regenerated (re-claimed) , rubber,
Goodyear took from the molds last
week its first emergency, wartime tire:
Officials of the company state that it
is not known now just haw far manu,-
facture of this tire will go. It is com-
pletely in the experimental stage and
the venture was embarked upon, in
keeping with the company's policy of
bending every effort tot keep on pro-
ducing tires for war vehicles and es-
sential civilian services.
R. W. Richards, 'General Sales Man-
ager, of 'Goodyear, said in an interview
today': "There is a large supply of
scrap rubber throughout Canada
which could be brought into use by,
combing the country for discarded
tires and other articles from which. re-
generated rubber" can be produced.
This new tire is not being released for
`Sale as we need more time for experi-
mental and testing work. In every
sense of the word it is an emergency
tire and its service would fall below
that given by tires made of crude or
synthetic rubber."

"HONEY FOR HEALTH"
Honey is our most easily digested
sweet. It also contains valuable diges-
tion-aiding enzymes and the essential
minerals. In contrast to other sugars,
it has a decided alkaline reaction in
the blood.
Use Honey to sweeten all beverages,
cereals and fresh fruits; in baking and
preserving. You will be delighted with
new flavour sensations and improve-
ment in your general health.

Bonny Foster and Bruce Small of
the Indians played for Clinton against
Seaforth last week. The Beavers how-
ever took the game 8-6, Goderich de-
feated Waterloo 7-4 Monday night and
this win spoiled Clinton's chances of
getting in the play-off of that group.
The Blyth Standard has this to say
,about the game here with Walkerton.
"This is two years the town of Wing-
ham have made a bid for hockey sup-
remacy in Intermediate class "B", and
both years they failed to produce a
group champion. It rained all Monday
afternoon, and throughout the even-
ing. The ice wes in bad shape for of-
fensive hockey, such as VVingliam had
to play, but was ideal for defensive
play. On the same night, the Clinton
Colts and Goderich Flyers were
scheduled to meet•in an all important
tussle, but the wily Colts, who pack
very little weight, and are necessarily
a hard-ice team, were smart and call-
ed the game off early in the day."
* * * *
Lucknow Bantams won the group
honours. They put Clinton away in a
home and home series winning in Clin-
ton but just holding the Clinton lads
to a 3-3 tie in Lucknow.. The two
Chinese Chin boys were the stars for
Lucknow Albert getting two • and
George one in the final game.

A NEW TOMATO
• IS PRODUCED
In 1939 the new tomato variety,
Vetomold, was introduced. It had been
developed as a co-operative project
between the Departments of Botany
and ZoolOgy of the 'University, of Tor-
onto and, the :Ontario Haticultural
Experinient Station at Vineland and
Was resistant to the leaf mould dis-
ease, which is a limiting factor in the
production of gieenhouse tomatoes in
Ontario.
Seed of the new variety, was sent
at once to England, where the sante
disease'was known to be very trouble-
some and likely to prove a serious
obstacle to the effort being made to
increase greatly their local production
of tomatoes. Not only has Vetomold
been immune from leaf mould there,
but also it has found English con-
ditions entirely to its liking and con-
sequently it has performed well both
as an out-door crop and under glass.
Dr. Bewley, Director of the 'Experi-
mental and Research Station at Ches-
hunt writes enthusiastically about
Vetomold in the December 13th issue
of the Gardner's Chronicle. He states
that it has been tried in 1941 all over
the country and that the growers
have been enthusiastic, not only over
its disease resistance, but also over
its vigour, its yielding capacity, the
size and quality of the fruits and the
splendid manner in which they with-
stand shipping. He says: hit was good
to know that our colleagues in Can-
ada were so.anxious fo help the grow-
ers of this country in their struggle
to increase the output of tomatoes .
In our opinion Vetomold is a triumph
in plant breeding .. . We, in company
with many growers would like to offer
oar sincere congratulations for an
outstanding achievement and our
thanys for the consignments of seeds
which enabled us to introduce this
variety to growers of tomatoes in
England. "
In 1940 a new strain of the leaf
mould fungus appeared in Ontario.
This had the capacity of attacking the
Vetomold tomato. To counteract this,
further breeding was undertaken; and
three months ago, the University re-
leased to sele:ted growers still anoth-
er variety with resistance-power
against this virulent strain.
A rushing business usually is head- °
ed by a man who does the same.
