Agency Planned

. For Consumers

There still isn’t any agency in the nation’s capital devoted to the interests of the consumer's welfare. But one is being thought about, and may soon be in working condition. > . Its basic purpose will be to see "that civilian morale and health get a just as careful attention as war production and price control. With production goals set at tremendous levels, military requirements will take more and more | manpower and other resources. This means that civilian living stand- "\. ards inevitably will be pushed lower and lower. ‘However, somebody has got 'to see to it that the consumer isn’t crowded completely out of the picture. And that would be the job

|to them. And, if you don’t know

Ration Boards

Are Unsung War Heroes

By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Times Special Writer DISTURBING but unballyhooed news is the resignation of many gas rationing boards throughout the country. Various reasons are given. Some say it’s a full-time job; their regular work suffers, and those who feel loyalty to their employers or business associates can’t do both. Others are weary of the red tape. Probably behind these excuses lurks another which they dislike to mention. For the blasts of anger these longsuffering men and women receive would deflate the pride and shrivel the conceit of Mussolini himself. They are subjected to a steady stream of complaints and blasphemies, whiners, grouches, chiselers, augmented by hordes of good citizens who feel aggrieved, take it out on the rationing boards. Even the office mice must sometimes wince for their bruised sensibilities. What nonsense and injustice this is! Why should the irate visit their wrath upon the heads of local citizens, who are merely obeying orders from Washington and trying to do a conscientious job because their government has asked help from them?

YET THE PRIVILEGE most often claimed by the people of the United States is the privilege to complain. And their yells are usually accompanied by eompliance with such restrictions as they think are necessary and fairly administered. We shall find, I believe, that they will take all sorts of rationing in their stride. Besides one feels a little more sure of the unconquerable and unregimentable American soul when loud outcries fill the air. It’s a sure sign we will get at the war job, pronto, for the right to kick is as sacred as the right to breathe with most of us, and we always beef a bit before we get going on any big task. However, our sense of justice should make uslay off the rationing boards. When the real story of the war is written, I hope we shall include in our list of heroes all those who have served on them, from the underpaid school teachers who doled out our sugar to the sturdier souls who now dole out gas cards to a people who have lived on wheels for 20 years. Someday each one of them should have a medal for distinguished conduct under fire,

‘Dig Up*>Some Soup Recipes

If you know some recipes for good, old homemade soup, hang on

any, you'd be wise to get some. You'll probably need ’em, since WPB has cut to half the number

produced last year. It’s not likely that WPB will stop there, either, If the war lasts long and both tin and manpower become harder to get—as is expected —canned soup will have to give way to more concentrated and nutritious food. As you know, soup already has gone through one concentration process. And it’s in line for still more.

War Workers

jobs being told, “Stay away . . . stay where you are.” The answer to the paradox lies, of course, in housing, sanitation and transportation. In most localities where the “help wanted” sign is continually out, housing, transportation and sanitation facilities have already been taxed to their utmost. To invite more workers to come from outside those localities would be to invite disease, dangerous overcrowding of public vehicles and housing conditions bordering on indecency. Such cities as Norfolk, Baltimore, Portland, Me. and Portland, Ore., Seattle, Detroit and Hartford, for example, are bursting at their seams from the tremendous in-migration of workers to their busy war blants and any new workers from outside are ,apt to find their new address to be somewhere like “Park Bench No. 13.”

. ‘Stay Where You Are’

That’s why would-be . employers must rely on filling their work vacancies from local residents, not now in war work, but already provided with homes and already regular passengers of local transportation systems. That’s why wouldbe employees from outside the localities are being met with, “Sorry! Better stay where you are.” True, some areas in which a shortage of help exists are ready and able to welcome workers from } other communities. But men, and women, too, who are willing to move to such localities, should consult first with the United States employment service before starting out blindly in answer to the help wanted call.

This is a situation which affects women as well as men , . , more so, perhaps, since more and more women will be drawn into industry as the long fingers of the armed services reach out for the men. Women in areas where work force shortages exist , . , and there are at least 65 such areas at this time . . . are being urged to consult at once with their nearest U. S. E. S. oilice to find out what types of work wold be available to them.

Bottle Nipples Are Standardized

There’s one home front debate that will have to be adjourned till after the war-—the perennial controversy as to whether the wide mouthed, screw-on nipples for bottles are better for babies than the old-fashioned smaller, type. Baby bottles have been standardized and they will have the small mouthed nipples. This selection isn’t to be construed as a triumph for the old-fashioned school of thought—it’s simply and obviously a move to save rubber.

Lunch With ‘Punch’

“Put punch into the lunch,” a government slogan, means not only plenty of food in the lunch boxes of America, but plenty of good, nufritious food.

DEAR JANE JORDAN-—I am an 18-year-old girl and I am in love with a 19-year-old boy. He used to be in love with me. We met at an N. Y. A. center, and of all the girls who worked there he picked me out; so he must have thought something of me. I fell in love with him. Just as we were getting used to each other the N. Y. A. sent him to Virginia to be a welder and we have been writing to each other ever since. Last week I received a letter which made me feel very badly. He told me that a girl wrote and said that I had been making fun of her, She used to be his girl and she hated to see me go with him. He told me that he was going fo find out if it was the truth and if it was he was going to go back with her. However, it is all a lie, and we stopped writing to each other. Today he wrote me a letter and asked me to write if I wanted to see him before he went to Pearl Harbor. What would you do? Would you see him before he went to Pearl Harbor? I would like to for I might not see him again. WORRIED.

» #® ” Answer—If you want to see the young man before he leaves for Pearl Harbor or any other point, by all means do so. After all why let a silly misunderstanding interfere with sending any war worker oft with good feelings? I do think he had treated you Mdly. in believing what a rival of yours said about you without giving you a chance to speak for yourself, His threat to go back to the girl who tried to cause trouble between you was childish. When you stopped writing you did what any girl with pride would have done in the same circumse stances. But you don’t have to pun= ish him now that he is leaving the country. While he is away it is quite pose sible that you will meet someone else who will not be so ready t@ think ill of you. At any rate, bury your grievances for the present and send him away with your wishes. DEAR JANE JORDAN--I am 18 years old. I have been going with the same boy for a year and & half. A few months ago I let an~ other boy kiss me and lied to my boy friend but he found out the truth ‘and was very mad. He says he cannot forget about it. I like him very much. How can I make him forget it? UNHAPPY. 2 8 = ee : Answer — Stop talking about if, You can’t undo what happened. The chances are that you are too young te be content with “going steady” and would like: a whirl with other boys. If your present affair breaks up then you would be free to see others. o JANE JORDAN.

Pulverized Coffee’

To Be Rationed

Don’t get too excited about the fact that you've discovered that those concentrated powdered and pulverized coffees are not rationed. Rationing for them is Just around the corner—just as soon as a stand= ardized package has been devel oped—a package which will hold the equivalent of one pound of Ore dinary cofiee. The hitch in rationing pulverized coffee sooner was that no one could figure out how much of it was equivalent to one pound of coffees for which you've been surrendering your coupons. i Also, the armed forces were using most of this coffee which made it just not worthwhile bothering with, The facilities for producing it, howe ever, are about to be seal: ine creased, so that rationing will be

necessary.
