Platinum wedding rings are out
for the duration, but the new Mrs.
America’s will still have gold wed­
ding bands when .hey say "I do."
The use of platinum in all jewelry
manufacture has’ been prohibited be­
cause of its importance as a war
material—in munitions manufacture,
in communications equipment and
for m ny other industrial uses. The
order does not affect the sale of
platinum jewelry now manufactured
and in the hands of dealers and re­
tailers.
Here’s good news from the home
furnishing ang'e, A su -vey by the
Office of Price Administration re­
vealed that retailers now have in
stock a sufficient supply to meet
normal shopping demands for the
next eight months. Th t means you
need not be content with an odd
sized rug if you want a regular
sized floor covering. It seems that
rumors of a shortage of regular
sized rugs have been circulated. Ac­
tually, it is expected that present
stocks of rugs may even last longer
because purchases have dropped
considerably.

Nursing schools hope to reach a
quota of 5,000 new qualified stu­
dents by next July, but a survey
reveals the need of 19,000 more to
meet the goal. Enrollment in schools
during January and February is the
only hope. The available supply of
nurses is in such demand that re­
tired nurses are being called back
to service and private duty nursing
for all but critically ill is being
eliminated.

FREEDOM IS A MIGHTY SWORD
We Americans can rightly be proud of the fact
that we are a peace-loving people. That our aim
as a nation is to strive to improve human welfare,
with freedom and justice for all. • Such a people
is always slow7 to anger, tolerant and patient.
But when patience is exhausted, a peace-loving
people can turn its peace-time skills into weap­
ons of fierce and righteous wrath. There is only
one way such a nation could be enslaved.’That
would be through propaganda that misleads;
through lack of knowledge, and of truth. Amer­
ica’s greatest strength is . . . freedom of the printed
word ... to give the people truth, truth that builds
freedom of thought, of word, and of vision. • This
great Freedom tempera the steel out of which a
nation and a people can forge mighty words.
