Victory tools for victory gard­ ens, if manufactured after April 8, 1943, must conform to the sim­ plified patterns and styles prescrib­ ed in the new schedule. No alloy steel may be put into process by any manufacturer after April 8 in the making of any tool listed in the schedule.

Curtailment of the variety of lines and styles of implements will substantially reduce the amounts of inventories and the number of types of raw materials which the manufacturers of forks, hoes, and rakes are obliged to carry in their stockrooms at the present time. Sim­ plification of types and designs will also relieve jobbers and dealers of the necessity of carrying duplicate lines of many items. Turnover of victory toots should be accelerated, as a result of the elimination of slow-moving lines. Polishing Omitted Mrs. R. B. Fletcher was hostess to the Deborah Circle on Tuesday, January 5.
