Turn In Old Tubes

Beginning at once, person pur-
chasing a tube of shaving cream or
toothpaste must turn in an old tube,
according to a ruling issued by the
war production board Tuesday. The
tubes need not be the same type.
Retailers will be held responsible
for enforcing the tube tradeins.
The ruling was made necessary by
the wartime demand for tin of which
the collapsible tubes are made. The
tube industry's consumption of this
precious metal was formerly 5000
tons year, and may now be reduced
to less than 600 tons.
