It is understood that practically the entire plant of the company. which formerly manufactured ten- his shoes, hot water bottles and other rubber requisites, will ever- tually be given over to the manu- facture of gas masks.

ONLY TEMPORARY- This kind of rivetment can only be temporary in, this Colony, as the white ants will in time destroy' any timber rivetment: If, therefore, you wish to make a shelter for permanent use you would have to make your rivetment in brick or concrete and your roof also.
