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.

"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

Decome dociled from browbeat

He is no namby-pamby. Hence,

SAYS SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE:
Despite Victory Used Fat
Saving Must Go On!
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.
