All Imperial Oil service stations will act as collect- ing depots for the plates and Auto- motive Tyaitsport Association mem- bers have agreed to transport the: collected plates to the steel mills.i Both operations are being con- ducted without charge. A plan for the salvaging of 1940 automobile license plates by the Ontario Division of the Canadian Red Cross Society was announced today by the Honourable Mitchell F. Hepburn, Prime Minister of On- tario. Mr. Hepburn pointed out that if all or nearly all the 1940 plates were recovered. the Red Cross funds would benefit by a sub- stantial sum and almost three hun- dred tons of scrap steel would be made available for war purposes. 1 “I hope the motorists of Ontario wilt eo-operate wholeheartedly," said Mr. Pie,,",,",'; “This arrange- ‘ment gives em an opportunity to (render effective aid in two ways andatnocosttothemselves.

At this season we are particularly reminded of the debt we owe to those whose service and sacrifice make it possible for us to enjoy our Christmas midst the carefree happiness of children and fond parents . . . those valiant men who patrol the skies, man the ships, stand by the guns, and place their all - even unto life itself, between us and the enemy. How can we pay our debt to them? The least we can do is to Save every dollar that we con and lend it to Canada, so that Canada can provide everything in munitions and equipment to fortify these men for the defence of our country and our civilization. 3&‘lgvuhddngmbmm - S'ilr.BBhet,msMtsmt.vNeamibek S'flfié'tmmmm W.
