BROOKINGS, OREGON .0^ IHOOSEKEEPWU; »Eramos Ti rvxn L------- nun--------- - < 1 --------- - 7! íx : XSL [T rViTT ^ lct -— - f í There are times when even the most devoted of brides feel a wild desire to wallop their beloved with the nearest available object. For fifteen minutes I had been patiently watching Jeff wander silently from room to room picking up articles and putting them down, rattling doorknobs, poking in cabinets. Finally, in as polite a tone as I could muster I inquired: “Looking for something?” “Just curious,” he volunteered at last. “I wondered how many items we have around here made of copper. You know, With the silent butler, plant holders, trays fireplace stuff, doorknobs, and 1 don’t know what all, we rhave enough copper to start a small war!” “No, thank you,” I put in firmly. “But that’s exactly where copper is going,” Jeff replied, “because without it our fighting men would simply have to give up! That red metal is vital to practically all modern weapons. Fur thermore,” he said, warming up to the subject, “we take so much copper in this country for peacetime uses that about one third of our requirements have to be imported.” It finally developed that Jeff had read an article describing a new government copper order effective March 1st which will prohibit the manufacture of more than three hundred items using copper and its alloys. What piqued Jeff’s curiosity was that the article declared the order would affect every American. He pointed out the truth of this statement by listing a few of the prohibited items such as jewelry, dress ornaments, and decorative accessories used in homes. Even more important, the ban will reach manv fields including building which depends heavily on copper for hardware, for roofing materials such as flashing, gutters and down spouts. and for pipe and tube in plumbing systems. We discussed the situation at length and I forgot about earlier surges toward mayhem. Only why Mid he act male-like and explain the picture after he poked into everything? I had thought he was bad after all! it îhiiiît To put it politely—I’m disturbed. To put it honestly — I’m peeved! The objects of my anger are those speechmakers and writers who now say the washing machine is a luxury and that, accordingly, its production should be halted in favor of defense production and the continued output of certain “essential” civilian products. I am perfectly willing to give up the luxuries of peacetime life if it is going to help our nation in these perilous times. But I strongly dis agree with anyone who says that washing machines are luxuries. t I’m sure that you, as honw- makers, will agree with me. You; will, if you’re« like Mrs. Rich-* mond, who lives, in our block and is a very busy young mother of three small chil dren. When I asked her what she’d do without a washing ma- chine, she re plied: “Id just have to throw in the mgs of Boy Scouts supervise the \er-all program of the Cubs, . rd Boy Scouts in Curry County.
