Girth Control Sans Rubber
Is Problem Facing Fair Sex
By William Needham
Washington. Jan. 3. (JPl Maybe Pop will have to sacrifice
his automobile tires to beat the axis, but what about Miss
America, who may lose her figure?
Wait til she realizes what thel
war is going to mean in terms
of foundation garments. Not to
mention garters. And bathing
suits. And countless other femi
nine items in which elasticity
holds the secret of success.
Production of all but essen
tial civilian rubber goods was
halted by the government last
month, after outbreak of war
in the Pacific shut off far east
ern sources of crude rubber
supplies. Inventories at that
time were very large, but to
ward the end of 1942 or early
in 1943 present stocks of corsets,
girdles, golf balls, sink stoppers
and thousands of other gadgets
and near-essentials common in
all households or offices will be
exhausted.
OPM experts predict the real
pinch In the rubber shortage
will be felt in 1943 and 1944.
leaving seeming hardship of
tire rationing almost pale In
comparison.
And, barring restoration of
far eastern trade, they express
little hope of getting domestic
and South American rubber
production into high gear until
1947.
Many of the Immediate civil
ian problems could be solved,
the experts say, if rubber could
be reclaimed indefinitely. How
ever, it eventually loses Its elas
ticity under the reclaiming proc
ess and milady's girdles made
of reclaimed rubber would
promptly, obviously, and un
fortunately lose their two-way
stretch.
