SHOE RATI END BETWEEN OCT. 1-1 5 Washington, Sept. 14 (U.m The end of shoe rationing Is now expected before Oct. 15. There was an argument be tween the war production board's office of civilian require ments and the office of price ad ministration about it. The latest word from both OPA and WPB sources is that OPA is now willing to drop shoe rationing between Oct. 1 and Oct. 15. WPB felt that the supply would bo coming in by Oct. 1 and that there was no reason to continue rationing beyond that time. OPA didn't want to do It be fore the end of the year.

Cer tainly, many married women and old people will be expected to step aside and return to their pre-war status. Labor Unions Art "Big Business" But then I am asked a second Question: "How long will this post-war prosperity last?" To (his I am prepared to answer: The length of the post-war pros perity depends largely upon the labor union leaders. They can make the prosperity short or they can have it extend over a long number of years, according to how . they act. As to what they will do, no one including inemseives Knows. Why? Be cause the actions of these labor leaders will be determined by the returning servicemen anrt we do not know what their at- ntuae will be. There is little real democracy in a big labor union. Members vote as ordered; they have far less ireedom than the stock numers oi any corporation. Often even the officers of the union are mere figureheads without real authority. The typical laoor union today is a big business" run by dynamic leaaers primarily for their own advancement and profit. They make demands and call strikes to nave their members think iney are doing something. Returning Servicemen Cannot Be Bluffed Labor leaders can bluff their present membership which has Decome dociled from browbeat ing and blackmail. But these labor leaders may meet their match in the returning soldier. He is no namby-pamby. Hence, the important question is, "What will the attitude of these return ing servicemen be toward the labor union leaders?"

Every woman in America should know that our country continues to face a serious fat shortage. And victory over Japan won't solve the problem immedi ately. We must keep on saving used fats in our kitchens! If you have any thought that saving used fats is one of those wartime chores we can drop, now that Victory is here, plea consider these facts and tell them to your neighbors. America still needs salvaged fats. Not even at the peak of our war effort, when f.-ts were required for mountains of shells and bombs and medicines, in addition to the ever-present need for soap, were our needs for salvaging fat greater than now. Our stocks have been drained by four long years of war, and there isn't enough on hand to meet all requirements. Don't let 'Victory psychology" blind you to this national need! If housewives stop saving fats now, the shortage will become even more critical. Don't let a single drop of used fats go to waste! Little trimmings of fat left on plates, even the skimmings of soups and gravies are important. It is the consistent saving of these small amounts that counts. Don't turn in fats that can be re-used! But some fata, such as those rendered from lamb and mutton, are not suit able for re-use. Put them im mediately in the salvage can. And, with other fats, after you've got all cooking good out of them, there is always a little left. No matter how little it is, save it. Your butcher will still give you 4c and 2 red points for every pound you turn in. Save consis tently save every drop you can every day until Uncle Sam says the job is done.
