Editor’s Note: National de

program expands in coming
months, its effects will be
strongly felt in everyday life.
This column, based on official
government information and
prepared by the Office for
Enie r g e n c y
Management,
shows how defense will affect
Mrs. America and her home.

Mrs America, take heart What-
ever the wool shortage does to
your next winter s coat, it proba
bly won't be nearly so drastic as
the proposed changes for your
husband's pants. In the first place,
the manufacturers are planning to
give him only one pair per suit,
And they won't have pleats or
cuffs, extension waistbands, or
self belts, and all measurements
will be limited to achieve a fash
ionably skimpy effect.
What's
more the material itself may in
clude a new fibre made from red
wood bark which mixes very well
with wool.

Housewives, panicky and unpat

the challenge by planning new
menus and more ingenious use of
the sugar allotted. Needed for the
production of industrial alcohol
which goes into smokeless powder,
sugar today is as much a weapon
of war as a flying fortress. Here
are some suggestions from the

government's consumer division
on how Mrs. America can do her
part on -the home front: Make
fewer desserts that require large
amounts of sugar.
Serve more
fresh fruits, naturally rich in su-
gar. Use dried fruits, such as rais-
ins, dates, figs, prunes, peaches

and apricots with breakfast

less sugar in coffee and tea
