And this was accomplished Rwhile they were making more essential type shoes for war work- ers, who wear out their shoes . faster than they do in their normal employment.

LEATHER • THE DISAPPEAR'iNG ACT OF RUBBER -SOLE SHOES In normal times most young Canadians got at least one pair of rubber soled, canvas -top shoes a year. But natural rubber supplies fell into enemy hands, and the manufacture of rubber footwear was drastically curtailed, We're now using reclaimed and synthetic rubber in these shoes—there have been more of them this year and there will be more next year. Leather -soled shoes have had to be used in. place of this rubber - soled footwear but shoes made of leather need more care than running shoes. When they don't get it they wear out more quickly; when they get wet they must be dried slowly, away from direct heat—and they should be greased also. It's not always a case of poor quality; it's poor care. GOES TO WAR You've got to have good strone leather for children's shoes, but the soldiers are taking most of ours for their boots. For these leathers, a substantial portion of the hides came from South Amer- ica and other countries. War cut down these imports and there have been difficulties in getting enough of these and our own hides tanned into leather due to shortage of workers. The pro- duction of high grade leather shoes has, however, been main - twined at the highest level con- sistentwith the labour and mate- rials available. While shoe fac- tories have been working over- time, factory capacity tor civi- lian shoes cannot be expanded in is wartime and it's not possible to I,, change' plants from the manus facture of one type of shoe to another,—for instance, from wo- men's to children's. The pro- cesses, the machines and the lasts are different. TURNING HIDES INTO SHOES There are very Jarge war uses of leather --for instance, in footwear. A soldier re- quires four pairs of shoes in the first year of his service and about three pairs per year thereafter. But, what is more im- portant, he needs to have his shoes re -soled four or five times a year. His shoes are of the highest quality leathers obtainable, leaving the other grades of leather for civilian use. Airmen need leather for jackets and mitts. War factories need leather for belting and farmers need leather for harness. Leather —the best leathers—has gone to war. THE• •w Merl M l;;.Q tlI C;E;SsA N.fi:!RAPE.
