Women Asked To Sign up WEST SALEM Mrs. Fred Gib son, chairman of civilian defense for women, is asking all who have not secured blanks at the city hall for registering for civilian de fense, do so at once. There has been a misunder standing in regard -to registering for civilian defense and women's skills. Through registration for civilian defense the work is strict ly confined to work in this com munity and is a voluntary service without pay. In the registration made in the survey of women's skills the women 'will be asked to take up employment in the field of industry at the prevailing wage scale. Mrs. Gibson has not to date ap pointed all the committees needed for the local civilian defense work and cannot do so until more have registered. It is believed that many women who cannot accept steady employment due to home obligations will welcome an op portunity to assist in a few hours a week of clerical work, sewing, knitting, first aid and other branches. The women are asked to please register promptly so the commu nity can be organized and ready for any emergency. The evangelistic services held at the Mennonite Brethren church with Rev.

(P Sweeping reductions in the use of high-grade new wool for civilian Clothing were or dered Tuesday by the war pro duction board because of sky rocketing of military demands, and some experts promptly predicted that "all wool" labels might disappear from suits and dresses by the end of this year. The board reduced its wool allocations for civilian orders during the next quarter (April, May and June) to 20 per cent of the amount used for worsted cloth during the comparable period last year and 10 per cent of the amount used for woolens. Carpet Wool Cot The amount of carpet wool was reduced to one-quarter of the amount consumed by rug manufacturers during the sec ond quarter jof 1941, No restriction was placed on the amount of new wool used to fill 'second-quarter defense orders. i- - - War developments in the western Pacific vitally affect ing ' this country's Australian wool supply,' together with in creasingly heavy demands of the armed services for uni forms, made-the sharp reduc? tions necessary, officials "said. They estimated that the alloca tion amounted- to about 22, 000,000 pounds of high-grade wool, for the three months or an annual rate of 88,000,000 pounds ' compared , with " con sumption last ' year of about 800,000,000 pounds. C However, the WPB an nounced simultaneously that additional supplies of mohair and : low-rade wools,-unsuitable for military use, would be made available to the industry. lib better time mem now to drees up your bom lor b coming fall and winter with new, quality mgs ct noner-eaving prices.
