Mrs. America Meets the War Editors note: War touches every home and every citiz3ii. This column, based on official government information and prepared by the Office of War Information, shows how the war will effect Mrs. America and her home. Light Bulbs Limited Mrs. America's home will be as bright as ever despite a simplifica tion order decreasing the number of types of bulbs manufactured. Adequate supplies of the permitted types of bulbs will be produced to make up for discontinued lines. The common household electric lighti bulbs previously made ,in voltages of 110, 115, 120, 125, and 130 now will be made only in the 115, 120 and 125 volt types. Since lamps in wattages of 15, 25, 40, 60 and 100 fill the bill satisfactorily, 50 and 75 watt lamps no longer will . be made, and there also will be a reduction in the number of colors used. The simplification order re ducing the types of bulbs made from 3500 to 1700 will save about 650 tons of steel, 35.000 pounds of solder and 8,000 pounds of tungsten. New Glass Shapes Created And in line with the trend to wards simplification, soon Mrs. America won't be finding the vari ety of shapes and sizes of glass con tainers on her grotfor's shelves. The glass containers used for pack ing foods and other commodities are expected to follow standard de signs. Wines, jellies and preserves already have been added to the products for which the WPB re quires the use of standardized bot tles. The simplification of bottle designs will save considerable a mounts of glass-making materials and make available more glass con tainers needed to fill in the gap left by vanishing tin cans. Model Planes Sans Balsa If your young son finds model airplanes hard to get, remind him that the materials which go into their manufacture are war recruits too. The model planes have been made of light balsa wood, which grow, in South America but this has I :come a precious war material. Balsc wood g )es into the real planes, and not just toys. It is used as a substitute for light metals in air craft produclion, going into' trainer plants. Likewise it is made into life iloats. Buses Queer Picture Hats Large hats may be a bit difficult for milady to wear while riding on street cars and buses in the future if the "standsit seat" is adopted. Heppncr Gazette Times, October 1, 1942 5 The "standsit seat", you see, is be ing studied as a means of increasing the seating capacity of buses and street cai-s because of the small amount of space it requires. The regular seats are spaced from 28 to 32 inches apert, but the "stand sit seat:'" arc located only 18 inches app.:t. "Stand-it Ssats" are being tried out as an experiment, but if this tvf ? cf seat is adopted, you can szq that a pictu.-e hat might be out of place on the trolley or bus. Ceiling Prices cn Underwear Wbn ths winter winds blow, you cr.n tbar.k the OPA or price ceil ings on winter underwear. Ceiling prices have been set on 12 categor ies of knitted underwear, including &leepin? garments, for men, women and children. Good1- of cotton, wool and mixed fibres came under the regulation. And you can be , sure that you'll b3 getting your money's worth for standards have been set up as a part of the proce regulation to prevent any deterio ration of quality. Ration Bocks Here Christmas Some time before Christmas you may receive war ration book No. 2. It is referred to as an "all-purpose" ration book and it is designed to provide a switf means for ration ing any article or commodity almost at the instant the danger of a criti cal shortage appears. The book has just gone to the printer, and it isn't expected that it will be ready for distribution until just before Chrirtmas. Incidentally, the OPA has ruled that it is illegal to make use of one to which he is not entitled. OPENING FOR JANITOR IN CITY NURSERY There is an opening for a middle aged or eldeily gentlema to act as janitor at the Albertina Kerr Nur sery in Portland. Or if there is an elderly couple looking for a com fortable living where the work is not too hard but requires some skill, . the home would like to get in touch with them. A fair wage and all living expenses other than food and c!'".ifcg provided by the home. The I. ;uici Home, under the same management, needs a matran. This also is an opportunity for some Christian woman to secure a com fortable home and fair wages. It is the policy of the home to employ only people of recognized Christian character. Further details mey be obtained at the Gazette Times office or by writing directly to the Albertina Kerr Nursery, 424 N. E. 22nd St., Portland. Bring in your Scrap Loading Cars of SCRAP IRON OCTOBER 5-6 CORN EH GREEN Field Representative Finds Defense Work Mere Satisfactory Ed Colby, field representative from the state office of Civilian Defense, was in Heppner Friday to check up Morrow county's activity and participation in the Civilian De fense program. Mr. Colby stated that the need for civilian defense was more urgent now than it has been and urged that every phase necessary to .civilian protection be maintained in a state of complete readiness, stating, "We have had our one big surprise, lets not, have another". Colby stressed that the ranks of the reserve firemen, reserve police and air-raid wardens be maintained at full strength with trained men. He expressed satisfaction with the progress made in Morrow county and was especially pleased with the showing of the number who had taken first aid. In addition to the police and fire reserves, air-raid wardens, Morrow county has an ac tive and ready utility squad, a nu trition council, a full set-up under the American Red Cross prepared ness program for food, clothing and shelter, and a prepared defense center, besides a number of women's organizations. No doubt your co ordinator was a bit boastful when he informed Mir. Colby that it was thought Morrow county citizens could take care of themselves tem porarily in the event of a disaster. We hope no bombs will fall, but we are not going to stop watching. J. O. Turner, Coordinator. IRRIGON NEWS By MRS. J. A. SHOUN Mr. and Mrs. Batie Rand went to Celilo Sunday for salmon.
