Wednesday, August J6, 1944 EDITORIAL COMMENDABLE EFFORT Security officers are again emphasizing that Defence of Canada regulations prohibit the taking of parade pictures and shots of the shoreline, such that might give the enemy information should they fall into his hands. Their determination to see that these regulations are not violated in the slightest is commendable and the public should co-operate fully. While certain regulations and restrictions may irk us momentarily, we must all realize that the better we do our job at home the more helpful we are ito our men and women at the front. NATIONAL SPIRIT Lack of understanding and unity in Canada can ibe attributed in no small measure to provincial views contained in the varied history text books used in schools across the Dominion. Rotary clubs of Canada are united in asking for the compilation of a new history, the stories of each province heing faithfully written by its own representative historian. Through an interesting and unbiased history, common to all Canadian schools, we will create and maintain a greater national spirit in our Dominion. This plan should be carried farther. Canadian and American historians should join in compiling a ihistory that will serve to make the children of both nations North American-minded. However, let this 'new history not dwell too much on the early battles "between the peoples of these two countries who have a common heritage. Not battles but common interests and needs, together with the value of co-ooera-tion, should be emphasized in such a school text book.

Every day R.CA.F. airfields here in Canada consume an average of more than 400,000 gallons; in one 30Hlay period alone they used an average of $48,000 gallons a day. It takes as much aviation gasoline to train one pilot as to run a car for 18 years. Air pouer eats up gasoline: In one day's raid on the German cities of Wilhelmshafen and Dusseldorf, approximately 5,000,000 gallons were used. Three tons of aviation gasoline are needed to "deliver" every one-ton bomb. Every Mosquito that raids Berlin consumes 900 gallons. The equivalent of your year's "A A" ration would last a Lancaster bomber only Vl an hour! Air power eats up gasoline: In this war the demand for aviation fuel alone exceeds the total demand for all petroleum products during the last war.

Air power eats up gasoline: Yet the needs of the Air Forces are only part of the story. In every field of war activity petroleum powers the attack. The Army needs it ... the Navy needs it . . . war industry, agriculture, essential transportation operators need it. And every single drop of it rnujt comc from the same common pool as the gasoline for your car. Can you wonder that there is a very real shortage of gasoline here in Canada? Can you wonder that there is little gasoline left for civilian use? Can you wonder that a very real need exists fox stringent economy by every gasoline and fuel oil user? Remember every gallon we can go without here at home means that much more for the fighting man! Answering YOUR QUESTIONS about the GASOLINE SHORTAGE Does the manufacture of aviation gasoline rtJuce the production of automobile gas? . . .
