Vernonia Eagle_______Thursday, July 1, 1943_______ 5 Mrs. America Meets the War Being a stay-at-home is not on ly fashionable this summer, but it’s a patriotic responsibility of Mrs. America and her family to travel only when necessary. Here's the way the office of defense transportation looks ‘upon travel during this, wartime summer. If you take a train or bus trip for any of the following six purposes it’s non-essential travel; Trips to other cities to visit friends, trips home for the week-end, sightsee ing trips, trips to the theatre, races or other places of amuse ment, any social travel or travel for pleasure, travel merely for the sake of going somewhere. Curbing unessential travel is im perative because of heavy troop movements and other military traffic. If Mrs. America hasn’t made up her mind that wide variety in furniture is out for the duration, she can be certain of that fact now that a war production board order has gone into effect cutting the number of existing patterns allowed manufacturers. But they are free to select those patterns. Is is expected that manufacturers will concentrate on the most de sired furniture, cutting out novel ty items. Of course, it’s no easy task being a furniture manufac turer these days, obtaining mater ials and labor. Many types of wood are available for civilian goods for they’re needed for mili tary purposes, and metal is per mitted furniture makers only for the essential joining parts. But good old American ingenuity has been able to get around the lack of metal and comfortable and sat isfactory furniture without springs has been developed. As for up- Guaranteed Watch Repairing W. T. JACOBS 941 1st Avenue, Vernonia 1 Listen! 1 Loo k! The accident Illustrated here Is r n actual occurrence and is typical cf a large volume of those that cl ten result in tragedies. A freight train vzas approaching a crossing in a small city. As the train neared the main thorough fare, an automobile carrying three young men approached the cross- ! -~ r^ccicd vp and dashed by the v arning bells and flashing light r'gnals in rm attempt to beat the train over the crossing. They lost the race. Two of them lost their lives and the other was critically injured. They gambled and lost. As the train was brought to a clop, the engineer climbed down cut of hi3 cab and, reporting to the police authorities, said: “I’ve got 41 cars of war explosives behind me. I couldn’t put on the brakes fast because I was afraid I would ret it off.” The local police authori ties, after investigating, said that the explosives were powerful enough to have destroyed the rmall city and caused a tremen- dous loss of life. In more than 80 per cent of these accidents, the crossings have added protection, such as flashing light signals and bells, as was the holstering furniture, there’s a stuffing used since fine down is reserved for armjl sleeping bags, and kapok is in the navy now fil ling life belts. However, cotton wadding and some types of feath ers are available. Besides several varieties of plant fuzz are being tried. • Mrs. America will have until October 31, to make her selection of footwear with the new shoe stamp, No. 18 in war ration book one. That’s 11 days longer than the period of validity for stamp 17. The length of time assigned to the shoe stamps brings the rate of purchasing to about the same as it was during the period from 1936 through 1941. f Here’s good news on the tex tile situation.
