Woman's Viewpoint— “You're a Bad American If You Hoard’

By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Times Special Writer

IS PATRIOTISM a state of mind or a way of living? Think it over. I know—and so do you—a lot of

women who work like beavers in the .Red Cross or civilian defense, whose pantries are crowded with hoarded food. These women would be startled and hurt if you called them unpatriotic, yet that's the only word which correctly describes them. The OPA is now pondering a law to halt hoarding} —that’s hot off the wire news from Washington. So something nasty and smelly is- dumped into the laps of American housewives. Merchandising corporations may not be wholly blameless, but when we realize that mama is the chief food shopper in the U. S., the press release ought to make her composite face very red indeed. It’s all very well to kid ourselves that these sins are minor ones and have no bearing on the general situation. What's the difference whether we buy a few extra pounds of coffee when rationing is prophesied, or lay in a supply of sheets and pillow cases when a shortage is threatened .in the community? Our little bit of buying can’t matter, or at least that’s the way we kid ourselves.

2 #

“BESIDES,” said Mrs. Jones to Mrs. Smith, “think of the way the big shots get away with things. Everybody else is doing it. I'm not going to be the only ‘goat’ in town.” And Mrs. Smith laughs, reminding herself that only last Tuesday Annie Brown told members of the church circle that she had enough bacon stuck away to last them a long time. ! : So it goes. Otherwise honest women manage to feel patriotic by refusing to let their right hand know what their left hand does. “I'm not really hoarding,” we tell ourselves. “That extra five pounds of coffee, that sack of sugar I got last summer, -that canned milk I bought not long ago—they wouldn't make a dent in the supply.” And, of course, they wouldn't, if only Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Brown and I did it. But when you multiply us by & million it all stacks up to a lousy sort of patriotism. No matter how lively you step at motor corps work or nurses aid, or how steadily you toil over any wartime job, youre. a had American if you're hoarding now.

CABS nt

By MARGUERITE YOUNG Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Dec.3.—There are plenty of good gifts for men and officers of every stripe and station in the fighting services— plenty, too, of gifts keyed to a particular kind of a guy with a particular kind of an assignment. | So distance needn't confuse the giver. The trick in getting the. just-right object is simply to keep in mind, more clearly than you would in peacetime, the kind of military life he’s living, and the kind of a guy he is. It seems that early shoppers haven't all been too all-fired good at that. People who have done a job of checking report that the men themselves have some suggestions to make, and the first one is: More suitable gifts, please. Next, more efficient gifts, please. The point for the shopper is to look twice and make sure that the idea in the article is well-done enough for it to last under strenuous service conditions. Ask yourself: “Would I give ‘houseroom’ to this in a five-by-five-foot kitchen—or on a steamer?” : n ” ” MOST DIARIES have the virtue of sturdiness and smallness. One which will be approved by almost any man practically writes his war memoirs for him and throws in a healthy gag now and then. This has a place to put autographs, including the one of “the fellow who makes my bed; shines my shoes; sweeps my bunk and gets me a cool drink: THAT'S ME” , , . and place for photos and comments of and about the girls left behind and

Toilet kits should be carefully chosen. Any soldier can use an

- efficient khaki kit of simple,

strong construction. An officer at a more or less “permanent” post, however, might like a handsome commodious case of fine leather, complete with satin-wood-backed clothes brush, a mirror that stands on its own leather back, file and tweezer, and. pocket for extra blades. (A package of extra blades is wisely tucked into any man’s gift package.) © An officer at a permanent post likely would welcome the fabric carrying case for his expensive caps—khaki for the army, blue for the navy, very light.

GIFT BOXES of extra-special food, especially candy, are available in most stores, and can be ranked with homemade cookies and candies as likely to be received with pleasure by most men. A Fifth ave. store, looking for first-hand tips, wired the dozen or more of its own staff who are in uniform now, asking what they and their comrades wanted. The store also assembled everything it could think of as possibilities, called in two men from each of the services and asked for comment, and thereafter revised its stock considerably. The men approved, besides the generally popular gifts already mentioned: pen and pencil sets, pictures, shoe shine kits in flat twill envelopes, single-pack playing cards. They ask for food, especially cookies, cake and candy, and particularly home-made ones sent in a shoe box; folding pipes; small flashlights; and knives with just one large, strong blade. | They said they did not want elaborate

Not all servicemen are lucky enough to be able to select their own

toilet sets or game sets, manicure sets, picture frames, writing cases. Second Lieut, Jack Vane, one of the men on active duty, suggested a “replacement package” containing G-I drawers, socks,

A sailor in Dutch Harbor asked for cigarets, chewing gum, hard candy, wash cloths, poker chips, metal pencil and leads and “almost any book except the cheap, paper-covered ones of which we get too many.” An aif corps corporal in Miami wanted a tailored olive drab shirt for dress wear, cologne, olive drab full-length or half-length rubber boots, handkerchiefs, cigarets and lighter. A corporal in an antiaircraft battery wanted a leather cigaret case and toilet kit, olive drab muffler and sleeveless sweater, warm gloves, letter portfolio, bath and hand towel set with his name on it, and a tough wrist watch.
