Canada May Use
Silver Cans to
Replace Tin
BY the Associated Press.


OTTAWA, Jan. 7.-Canada may
be eating from silver cans before
the wars over.
Experiments are under way for
substituting the precious metal for
tin in containers for canned fruits
and vegetables.
Heretofore Canadians had con-
fined their research largely to the
use Of silver as base for solder, but
experiments for it's use in tin cans
long have been making headway in
the United States.
Both Canada and the United
States have large surplus OF silver
which could be utilized as an emer-
gency substitute for tin, that Far
Eastern product whose supply is
threatened by the war.
