That an outlet in this direction would help to dispose of the year's surplus production of rubber— estimated at about 170,000 tons.

That much transport sport could be caused by an absent-minded driver in a " reversible " one-way street; That he could make the traffic policeman's lot an even less happy one.

That the introduction to Parliament of the Bill to remove any doubts as to the validity of certain past and future activities of The Institution of Mechanical Engineers has been approved by its corporate members. That a Dunlop cheque for £1,000 has been contributed to the Westminster Abbey Appeal.

That this may largely represent rubber, but it is certain that it will not "bounce."

That Weymann employees at Addlestone have contributed £166,000 through the concern's National Savings group and club since 1940.
