“Odds and Ends
** OPA is’ not entirely satisfied with price ceilings on eggs and butter. Expect new adjustments to lower the ceilings . , . WPB does not expect any shortage of peroxide « . « Watch for new cans of large sea herring. A method has been found to pack these hitherto unpackable _ fish . ..

“Coffee Situation
There 4s enough coffee in the Unitéd States and enough will be imported to keep everyone happy, says office of price administration.
Housewives, however, must refrain (§
from hoarding, individuals must cut , down on second cups, and store- * keepers must continue their own policing to see that no family gets mare than its. share. « ‘Speculation had it that since . Brazil entered the war, the United
-- States would be sending increased
“lend-lease shipments to Brazil, pro-
( viding more boats to rein with
«coffee. « But this is not the case since “Brazil exports to. the U. 8. many “products ‘more necessary-than cof“fee, and any extra shipping space . will be used for them. Coffee is in group 3 on the WPB “shipping priority list. Groups one “‘and two include badly needed rub“'ber, mica, dry hides and babassu oil to replace vegetable oils, “Mrs. Housewife, youre doing _ fine, keep it up,” say women’s unit officials of the WPB salvage di“vision. The drive to salvage tin "eans is gaining momentum at the - rate of 100 per cent a month.

We, the Women— Don’t Keep the Household Help Not Needed
By RUTH MILLETT Times Special Writer IT IS HIGH TIME women got around to asking themselves if. they have any real right to their household help. With housewives having a tougher and tougher time getting help, only those women who aren’t able to do their work themselves ought to keep maids, - If a woman has. small children, she certainly has a right to help if she can get. it and pay = for it. So has the i. woman who. has i an invalid in her : family. Or a woman who works outside her home, or one who isn't physically able to do housework. Ruth Millett ~~ But just having a large house, liking $0 entertain, or hating to do housework are not excuses, They may be good enough reasons in peace time, when there is enough household help to go around. But in war time they are pretty poor excuses. If a woman thinks a house is too big for her to take care of—then she can rent part of it, or shut part of it off. She should do it in the winter to save i anyway. ” AND NO ABLE BODIED woman has any business entertaining “as usual” in these times. There is too much work to be done for any woman to concern herself with being a social “big shot.” If she is able to do housework it doesn’t matter whether or not she hates to do it. Most people today aren't doing the things they like to do. Instead they are doing the things that have to be done—and there is no reason why women of any class should think it matters right now what they like to do. If only the women who really need household help would employ maids—then the “servant shortage” wouldn't be so much of a problem. But as yet this is all too often the case: Mrse Jones, with four small kids to care for, can’t get a maid—while Mrs. Brown, who hasn't anyone to care for but a husband, a dog, and a large house, is carrying on her club and social life as usual while a full-time maid does her work.

SWISH goes the water into the bath. Then she looks into Daddy’s room. “Daddy, wake up! Time for Timmy's bath.” No answer. One eye opens a_ crack, then closes again. What a pair—alike even down to the Sunday morning snooze. “Well, Master Timothy—Daddy or no Daddy—we have a bath.” And just as Mother starts to undress him, in ambles Daddy with a sheepish grin on his face. “Hmmm,” says Mamma to herself. “I've done all the work and now he’s ready for the fun. We'll teach him a lesson.”
born, his father had joined the ranks of Prepared Papas to watch a pre-natal class nurse bathe a baby doll. He was ready and willing to tackle a bath then and there —but just a little scared. So when Timmy first came home, Daddy held him like a vase of blown glass, tiptoeing from room to room with a pleased but apprehensive look on his face. Getting a little bolder one day, he hoisted him inch by inch up his shoulder for a burp. In a few more days Daddy gathered up his courage to poke a safety pin. into a diaper. And by now, he is a past-master at changing Tim's clothes at bede. ‘But here’s Daddy’s first try at a bath. Poor man, he is a six-footer and will get a backache be over that tub.

WITH DADDY'S big hand under baby’s head and back, and forefinger under his armpit, Timmy lies there in the water staring at this man who makes funny noises. “Oooh—Aaah—Eeeh—Bo00.” Daddy almost forgets to soap the cloth and go after the creases, he has such fun singing queer sounds to his spejl-bound son. But the creases get their lather of soap by and by, and the back gets a scrub, and then out into the big Turkish towel comes Timmy, wrapped up like an Eskimo.

And now to oil the creases. Daddy is liberal with the baby oil, and Tim looks like a little greased pig when he’s done. On goes the shirt, little fingers protected in the sleeve by Daddy’s reaching through the cuff and grasping Tim’s whole hand. On go diaper and kimono, while Timmy kicks and Daddy sings. “All ready to eat, Tim?” he asks. “Good work, Daddy,” says Mother. “I now award you the certificate of the bath—providing you clean up the bathroom.” : “That will teach him,” she chuckles as she goes off to have the fun of feeding Tim—while Daddy mops up. “Did Timmy like that bath with Daddy?” his father asks. Timmy smiles a silly grin, and turns his head sideways as if to say, “You bet. Do it again, Daddy!”

Answer: Your mother has plenty of reality on her side. She is older than you and takes a long-term view of life instead of being blinded by the immediate present. You say you are willing to sacrifice your life for a few months of happiness. This is a viewpoint typical of the immature. You contemplate a quick marriage followed by a long separation.
