Welding materials which have been allocated for use in repair and maintenance should be used for such work r' used if seme only, and kV-- ; other methods of repairing can be made to do, Mr. McKinnon said. Farmers and ranchers who have their own welding calf.. ., : .1 repair shop operators who rely on welding for much of their work need to use the materials they obtain for repair and maintenance only for thbse purposes, and to go back to other methods of joining wherever they can be used. The War Production Board has allocated 6 per cent of the total supply of welding rod specifically for repair and maintenance. If any materials obtained for this purpose are used for new construction, the supply wont be large enough to keep farm machinery and other necessary tools and equipment in working condition, he said. He stressed the necessity of mending breaks with scraps and bolts and other methods used before welding became popular, n all possible cases, even if the cost is greater, pointing out that the welding materials must be saved for cases in which welding would be the only possible method for putting equipment into working order. An interpretation of the certification of requests for welding rod for maintenance and repair, made by the war friioducftion board, recently! bias been retracted, and it will be necessary again for distributors and repairmen to beobtain priorities on Forms PD-Ifore welding materials can be obtainA strong and comed, he explained, statement of the situation and plete the need for welding 'rods and electrodes should accompany the form when it is submitted, he said.
