WIPE OUT NAZI 836nm WORLD’S WEEK 'N/ hhdi THE Motor car drivers in Canada are now face to face with the fact that the airmen of the empire need the gasoline which Canadians are using for pleasure purposes. For several months past every loyal Cana- dian has been nursing the fervent wish that the young flyers from Canada . with their brother fighters in the R.A.F. could pay back ten-fold the unspeakable horrors which Nazi airmen have unloosed in the British Isles. Now finally the wings of hundreds of Empire planes are casting their shadows over Germany daily. The hour has come when we have the oppor- tunity to shake the morale of Hitler's millions. From hondon comes the urgent cry, "Give us all the gasoline you can spare". Canada cannot turn over all her gasoline. That product is vital in our huge production of war material. We need large quantities for the hundreds of air training ships across the country, for the navy and the convoys which touch our shores, for the transmutation of war goods, Hut there is one way in which we can supply more and more gasoline for the fighters --by refusing to use up gasoline unnecessarily in private motor cars But as each new flight of aeroplanes streak into battle, and as the Empire increases its raiding groups from a handful of attackers to waves of machines which are counted by the hundreds, fuel for these fighting ships stands out as the Mark need of the hour.

The decision is an easy one. Millions upon millions of gallons of gasoline are spent every year in private motor cars for purposes which may be considered unnecessary in the light of the drastic heed across the Atlantic. _ If our fighting forces are to get any help at all from Canada, in so far as gasoline is con- cemed, fuel experts declare, then owners of private motor cars must reduce their con- sumption of gasoline by at least 50'ir. The unemployment insurance plan has been introduced at an opportune time. Employ- ment is at a high level. and contributions made by the present great number of wage earners will establish a sound reserve fund to meet future emergencies.
