Fire Prevention

NVith Canada's war machine revolving at ever increasing speed, and Canadians, as individuals ‘and a nation, tightening their armour for total war, Fire Prevention \\'eek this year offers an unusual challenge to cvcry one for, since i939, fire has ivastcd resources worth $106,592,918.

Reclaiming Rubber

The National ."\ rage Division 0f 111E 136F011‘- meut of National War Services is calling for ten thousand tons of old tires and tubes. This ma- terial will be converted into new tires and so ease considerably the trials of motorists in these days of severe restriction. “hut can be accomplished through salvage work of this kind is seen in the permission givcn to car-owners to have their tires retreadetl at trill. That welcome concession has been made possible because of the gratify- ing response of the public to the appeals of the salvage committees, numbering about two thoti- sand throughout the Dominion, which collected the rubber for the reclaiming plants. Were it not for these voluntary efforts, conditions would soon have become impossible for an in- creasing majority of motorists. The operation of their cars dcpcitds to a great extent on the sticvcss of these salvage activities. The director of the liovcrntncnfs National Salvage Division, .\lr. tharles La Ferle, in gratefully acknowledg- ing the cit-opi-rzitirm of the public in the past, plt-iztls for sustained sitpport of thcsc efforts. 1
