FARMER'S FUEL ALLOWANCES FOR NEXT TWO MONTHS
ARMERS are reminded that the F
unit coupons issued for their petrol requirements for the current period are not valid after August 31, and any unused on that date must be returned to the Divisional Petroleum Officer.
Application for an allowance for use during September and October should have been made to this Officer by August 10, on Form R (MS)6; registration books must accompany applications.
It is important to note that farmer's private cars, and lorries operating on A, B or C licences must not be included.
Progress with Producer Gas in Sweden THE need for conserving the liquid1 fuel resources of Sweden has induced the increased employment of gas producers, mainly using charcoal as fuel. On lorries and buses, they have been common for some time. The latest development is to fit them to taxicabs and farm tractors. Incidentally, they are also becoming popular for some private cars and motor boats.
Much ingenuity has been spent in iesigning producers which will not disfigure the vehicles. Some are being mounted on special trailers, known as pivot trucks, each running on a single wheel. Such sets are being attractively designed and finished in lacquer and chromium plating.
Quite recently, 100 taxicab owners in Stockholm decided to equip their cabs for producer gas, and have arranged to employ the trailer type.
The authorities are planning a standardized type of equipment. for agricultural tractors, Henley's Tyre Advertisements Receive Favourable Comment rLATTERING comments have been 1 made recently on the advertising campaign now being run by Henley's Tyre and Rubber Co., Ltd. This is of particular interest as it is not often that the Technical Advertising Press, which has a reputation for impartiality and, where necessary, criticism, selects such mundane material as motor tyres for its attention.
Advertiser's Weekly says that the Henley campaign is one of the most interesting now appearing in the motor and transport journals, and that the series has aroused much 'favourable comment from the trade and the public. The idea and execution have lifted the series into prominence.
The World's Press News states that the scheme, which seeks topicality, illustrates solely the fact that Henley's are tough, and a conscious effort has been made to keep the " copy " down to the minimum to get the message over swiftly and strongly. BEWARE OF FLUID IN ANTI. INCENDIARY BOMBS
WE are asked by the Ministry of Home Security to issue a warning against employing as fire extinguishers against incendiary bombs appliances consisting of a quantity of liquid in a small glass globe. These may be effective in dealing with ordinary fires, but cannot be relied upon for the particular purpose mentioned. Moreover. some are filled with a fluid which may generate a suffocating gas if brought into contact with an incendiary bomb, and would thus be dangerous to use in a confined space.
Lights on Vehicles During Air Raids
THERE is, apparently, a widespread 1 impression that all lights on vehicles must be extinguished when an air-raid warning is sounded. The Ministry of Home Security has asked us to correct this error.
In such circumstances, head lamps only should be extinguished. In certain cases, however, the police may order drivers to put out their head lamps although the sirens may not have sounded, but side and tail lamps are never to be out during the hours of darkness so long as a vehicle is on the road.
Vehicles engaged on military, police and civil-defence services are, however, authorized to use head lamps during air raids.
