“LISTEN LADIES”

NEW PROPAGANDA SONG “BRING SOME RUBBER AROUND” “ Bring Some Rubber Around” is a new song, the words of which have been sent from America to the British Broadcasting Corporation, and which may be used by that organisation as a propaganda song for the rubber campaign. The song identifies the rubber articles which can be utilised by the U.S. Government, find asks listeners to sell them to their filling stations for a penny a pound. The words are:— Listen ladies, listen fellers, Search your attics, yards and cellars, Look around and try to find 'Bits of rubber—any kind; Things that stretch and things that bounce, >. We can use each precious ounce. Hurry up and send them in, If you want to help us win. Rubber boots and rubber heels, Tyres no longer safe on wheels, Rubber mats or garden hose, Bathing caps and swimming clothes, Sell them to your filling station Penny for a pound. That is how to help your nation— Bring some rubber around. This song applies to Paeroa equally as well and if readers will remember to search out every piece of waste paper and rubber for the house-to-house collection to take place in the borough on Saturday, October 10, they will be doing much to help in the Dorrtinion’s war effort.
