MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1942 PAGE SEVEN Why Buy Now? Babson Discusses Winter Needs Fred Astaire Has New Partner Babson Park, Mass., Sept. 11. I have been reprimanded by Washington for the last advice which I gave you readers to buy now certain things. At the risk of further scoldings, let me talk about now preparing for winter! Buy More Winter Clothing. U Advice A study of department store advertising indicates that people still demand the same kind of light-weight clothing which they have worn during the past 10 years. Working girls, especially, fail to realize the tremendous changes taking place in the world today which must change our mode of dressing, eating and living in general. We have the greatest war of history on our backs. Let's take clothing as an ex ample. Before the days of the closed automobile and oil heat people wore very warm cloth ing in winter. This included heavy underwear, long drawers, woolen stockings, high buttoned boots and warm dresses. Over coats were bought to keep us warm, not for looks. We wore caps to pull down over our ears and mufflers around our necks. Why? Because our houses were underheated and we walked instead of rode. Help Your Department Stores by Buying Mow Now, Washington officials can do many things but they cannot change the weather! We are soon to have snow storms, zero winds, and all that goes with an "old-time" winter. Yet, most families will have no fuel to WASTE and will be obliged to walk in the snow and cold In stead of to ride in sedan cars. Are you preparing to change your clothing back to grand mother days to meet the condi tions under which grandmother lived and under which you may live this winter? Most readers will reply that I'm a Jeremiah; that it will be time enough to buy these "out moded" goods in winter if they re then really needed. Let me tell you that such people are sure to be terribly disappointed. They owe it to the merchants, the manufacturers and to the railroads to buy now. Only by so doing can more warm cloth ing be rushed through the mills and over the railroads in time for use this winter. Homes and Offices Will be Colder Take warm sweaters for in stance. Factories, office build ings, stores, and even homes must use less fuel this winter. This means you will feel cold. The light-weight suits and rayon dresses which men and women have, during the past 10 years, been wearing in winter won't keep you warm this coming winter. You will not have the money to buy a new suit or dress. Hence, you'll shiver for a few weeks and then try to buy a heavy sweater. But millions "of others will then do the same thing! Result? All sweaters will be sold out in a few days and it will be too late to replace them. It is far more patriotic to buy sweaters now so that stocks can be re placed. The same argument ap plies to heavy coats, overshoes and warm stockings. Forget high heels and fancy shoes for the winter. Transportation Troubles Among Changes Looming I fear that the average reader of this column has little idea of the changes which are ahead. Remember that 10,000,000 work ers, who three years ago were making clothing, shoes, furni ture and similar things, have quit this work and are now mak ing ships, airplanes, guns, muni tions and other war supplies. Remember that the railroads, which three years ago were Fred Astaire and one of his new dancing partners, Marjorie Reynolds, show how it's done in the new musical, Irving Berlin's long-awaited Holiday Inn, which opens a one-week engage- ONE CAKE FORI ft with every 3 yea buy!

Others starred with the merry three are Carole Landis, Cesar Romero and Lynn Bari. Song? featured in "Orchestra Wives" are: "I've Got a Gal in Kala mazoo," "At Last," "Serenade in Blue" and "People Like You and Me." hauling things for you to eat. wear, and enjoy, are now over loaded. Because of the trans portation of war supplies, they have little space to transport even sweaters for you while trucks are short of oil and tires. If all the shoes, clothing, etc., now being made, were available to the people of the United States, it would not be so bad; but they are not. Our fields, factories, and mines must, to a large extent, feed, cloth and fuel Great Britain, Russia, China and other nations in addition to our own people. We are in a bad mess. Econo mic conditions will be worse be fore they are better. I don't believe in hoarding; but I do believe that reasonable advance buying is patriotic and bene ficial to all concerned. This in cludes consumers, merchants, manufacturers and the transpor tation companies. It especially applies to Christmas shopping which should be started now; it even applies to "tax-loss" sell ing. This is one way to avoid panic and confusion in December. id minu FOR ULTS Hi mil1 ii t "ill USE MAIL TRIBUNE CLASSIFIED ADS! Reese Creek ed their son and family, Mr. and Mre.
