Heppner Gazette Times, May 13, 19435 Mrs. America Meets the War Editor's note: War touches every home and every citizen. This column, based on official government information and prepared by the Office of War Information, shows how the war will affect Mrs. America and her home. Here are nursery notes for Mrs. America's . Junior. If a baby's scale is needed, a doctor's prescription will be necessary, the War Produc tion Board has ruled. Baby scales will be produced at one-quarter of the 1941 rate, and with the in creased birth rate the growing de mand has exhausted all supplies. Furthermore, a continued supply of three-cornered pants is assured by an order of the War Production Board. Guaranteeing present pro duction of diaper cloth, looms now producing birdseye and gauze dia per cloth cannot be converted to production of any other types of fabrics. AMERICAN HEROES BY LEFF Louise Prahl returned the first of the week from Ontario where she spent two weeks visiting relatives and friends and receiving medical attention Fancy luggage will be out for the duration because after July 1, the War Production Board will restrict critical materials, size and design of traveling bags. No more cosmetic oases, fitted bags or hat boxes will be made. Permitted types of lug gage are intended to meet essential needs. The order will bring canvas, cotton duck, other fabrics and wood into prominence as alternate ma terials since all-leather luggage wjll be ruled out by restrictions.. The call "soup's on" will not ne cessarily mean ration stamp food during May for dried and dehy drated soups are point free for the time being. These soups were re moved from rationing because pro duction was exceeding consumer purchases and in humid weather dried or dehydrated soups spoil easily. Point values for processed foods during May also show a re duction on the point prices for most fruits and vegetable juices. Mrs. America, war worker, has made her impression in aircraft plants so strong that this impor tant phase of war production is rapidly becoming a woman's indus try. One third of the workers in aircraft plants now are women, and the War Manpower Commission ex pects this proportion to reach fifty percent by the end of the year. Wo men are employed in practically all branches of aircraft manufacture. However, they predominate in the sub-assembly and fabric covering jobs. If your radio set needs fixing, you must turn in an old part when a new one is installed by the repair man, according to a requirement of the War Production Board. The dealer turns the used parts in for salvage. In the cases of - rural set owners who can buy repair parts by mail only or persons who have lost the part which is to be replac ed, the WPB requires a statement certifying that the order is essentiol for immediate repairs. Dealers should be able to supply tubes and I Pouring out a steady stream of machine gun fire, Corp. Leroy Dia mond, U. S. M. C, and just two buddies stemmed a lap advance on a Pacific Isle recently. One of the men, Pvt. John Rivers waa killed. Diamond and the other man were saved. These men are willing to give their Uvea. Tne least w ean do fr iend our money. Buy Second War Loan Bonds. V. S. Trmsury DtpMrtwuui other radio parts to customers as old ones are turned in. The WPB pointed out that owners of radio sets do not need to secure priority ratings for replacement of old parts. Ceramics appear to be headed for importance in the wartime picture as a substitute for critical mater ials. Already ceramic bottle and jar closures have developed a new industry and these covers are used for containers of food, drugs, cos metic products, liquid wax and oth er household goods. And, meantime, experts of the War Production Board anticipate that in the "not too distant future" ceramic space heaters and stoves may be avail able for American purchasers. Of course, ceramic stoves and heaters are not new to European countries for they have used them for many centuries. Mrs. America is a key figure in the fight against black markets for if she refuses to pay above ceiling prices, the black market operator cannot flourish. Another way Mrs. America can help stamp out this illegal dealing ' in food commodities is to refuse to purchase rationed goods without the exchange of ra tion stamps. A black market oper ation is not necessarily a "back alley" transaction. It is any pro cedure which circumvents ration ing or price control measures. The introduction of nation-wide uni form dollars and cents prices on beef, veal, lamb and mutton on May 17 should guide Mrs. America paying over legal maximum ceil ings for meat. The new retail prices were originally scheduled to go in to effect in April, but they were postponed for re-examination in the light of the president's order to "hold the line" in the cost of living. Seven is the lucky number in healthful eating, government nu tritionists claiim in listing the sev en groups of food which should be eaten every day.
