2 Heppner Gazette Times, April 22, 1943 Mrs. America Meets the War New regulations of the War Pro duction Board covering the manu facture of women's full fashioned rayon stockings are expected to re sult in increased quality, even of sheer stockings. The WPB conser vation order, which goes into effect on May 15, restricts each manfac turer of women's rayon hosiery to seven basic colors for each six months period, and no more than five of the basic colors can be used in any one style. However, WPB pointed out that most hosiery man ufacturers already had been vol untarily limiting their range of colors to this number or less. Inci dentally, ths dollars and cents price ceiling on i ayon hosiery wil not go into effect until May 15. " And speaking of hose the WPB conservation program also extends to men's and children's socks. Fan cy patterns are restricted for men's socks with seven basic colors al lowed. Likewise, there is a limit to fancy or novelty patterns for chil dren's socks. The color range for boys and girls socks used to total about 30, but now they will be lim ited to seven basic colors for each manufacturer. But there's no re striction to the use of colored yarns in decorative stripes, designs and figures. No anklets can be made with cuffs turned down or folded more than once. With thoughts of home canning beginning to predominate in "things to do in the future" calendars of American women, the WPB re minded housewives of a new clos ure for canning jars on the market in quantity in America for the first time this year. It's "a steel-saving glass-top which will fit any stand ard home canning jar, and also all commercial pack screw top jars with the same mouth size. It is a simple three-part unit a tough heat-resistant glass lid, rubber jar ring, and steel screw band that looks like a screw cover with its center top cut out. Those protective transparent wrappings which cover lamp shades will be out. A WPB order prolubits the use of transparent wrappings glassine, greaseproof and vegetable parchments for non-ossehtial uses and lump shades and playing cards are included in this classification. It's expected that the order will save at least 10,000 tons of these papers each year.

So noncritical domestic woods and wood-pulp pro cessed to basket texture are re placements. For example, gliders will be avalable but minus steel frames with wood substituting for both frames and springs. Porch chair cushions are said to be quite comfortable even if they are no longer filled with steel coils.
