WPB's Answer Awaited on Plea for More Bobby Pins
By BETTY MacDONALD Times Special Writer
WASHINGTON, July 14—If the women of America knew where their next bobby pin was coming from, and the men were assured they'd be able to buy more razor blades, civilian morale might easily be upped a peg or two. Coming to the aid of the civilian, the requirements committee of the war production board has submitted a list of badly needed consumer items to Director of War Mobilization James Byrnes. WPR expects an answer in mid-August. Some of the consumer goods listed as “badly needed” are: Bobby pins, steel wool for cleaning pots and pans, safety pins, toilet tissue and razor blades, among the “irritating items’; electric fans, electric irons, refrigerators and washing machines, among the essentials. Steel needed for the production of these items is relatively Sma and would scarcely be felt in the war effort, WPB ‘experts feve.

Super Charged Bread?
There's a good chance that all white bread we eat in the future will be enriched by specific quantities of vitamin B-1, niacin and iron. The proposal is now being studied by department of agriculture officials who may soon require enriching of all white flour distributed for human consumption. It's a subtle means of smuggling vitamins to war workers’ diets and the program is endorsed by leading scientific and medical organizations as well as most baking and milling industries.

Now under a price ceiling is sun-dried shrimp, produced only in Louisiana for Oriental trade in this country, and in Hawaii. . . . WPB is now discussing possibility of eliminating certain types of grocery bags to save paper. . . . If Great Britain and America are to keep their emergency stores of wool intact, larger commercial imports of this fabric will be required in 1943-44, probably from Australia and South America.

Precautions Can Eliminate Most Dangers of Swimming
By DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS
Swimming, although a pastime enjoyed by millions of people, is often an extremely dangerous recreation. However, a few simple rules and precautions—if followed—will eliminate most of the disadvantages | to be found in this sport. In the water, man is out of his natural element, and consequently at a disadvantage, regardless of his ability as a swimmer. The story of the good swimmer who | drowned because he failed to |
encounters germs capable of producing boils and other skin infec- | tions, throat infections, tonsil- | itis and middle-ear infections. If he possesses a sensitive nose { and throat, subject to hay fever | or other allergies, the added in- | sult of the water may cause congestion of the eyes and nose, with sneezing and profuse nasal discharge that resembles true hay fever, Despite these dangers and annoyances, swimming is called a | pleasant and healthful recreation, and for the great majority it is, because the advantages outweigh the risks. Fortunately, the risks in swimming can be reduced by simple precautions. Allergic swimmers and those who have had previous ear infections should keep their heads out of the water while swimming, and should not try to dive.

VEGETABLE CUT
Fresh Products and
Home Canning.
WASHINGTON, July 1% (U. P). | —The war food administration, mow engaged in allocating the nation's prospective food supplies where they will do the most good, announced today that in the next 12 months civilians will have to get along with 87 per cent less canned fruits and juices and 21! per cent less canned vegetables than they consumed in 1942. The WFA tempered the bad news in the canned vegetable depart- | ment, however, by estimating that | the anticipated supply for civilians will be 4 per cent greater than | average annual consumption in the! [the 1935-39 period. | Under the allocation program for | {the year started July 1, the WFA | aid, civilians will receive iid | 70 per cent of the prospective sup- | ply of canned ee tein | baked beans and baby foods—but lonly 53 per cent of canned fruits | and juices.
Canned Foods Popular
Explaining that because of their “relative non-perishability and ease | lin storing and shipping” canned foods are in great military demand, | the administration said that “this | necessitates greater use by civilians | of home- canned foods and ‘the | fresh products.” Im its first announcement of allo-| cations on a yearly basis, the WFA | on Monday said civilians would re- | ceive 80 per cent of prospective] | butter production, 55 per cent of | cheese and 43 per cent of evaporated
| milk this year.
Subsequent announcements are expected allocating meat and per-| | haps eggs and dry beans and peas. Allocations will be re-examined after the first quarter and possibly | revised on the basis of changing |
| demand or supply.
Set Civilian Allotment
| purchased $24,500,000 in war bonds
The WEA said civilians would re-
| ceive about 213,000,000 cases of both
canned vegetables and fruits in the 12 months as compared with total civilian consumption of 278,000,000 cases last vear. During the next fiscal year, a total
| prospective reduction of 262,000,000 | cases of canned vegetables will be
divided 70 per cent for civilians, 26
per cent for military and war services, 1.2 per cent for the country’s|
| allies, and the remainder for other | exports—including Red Cross and
serves. The estimated total of 61,000,000 {cases of canned fruits and juices— | not counting citrus—will be divided 53 per cent for civilians, 40 per cent | | for military and war services, less;
| than one-half of one per cent for | the allies and the rest for reserves| and other exports.
Enough for Good Health
In making its “strategic allocations” of foodstuffs, the WFA said | the program would meet civilian nu-| tritional needs but would “not leave as much for eivilians as they have money enough to buy.” The canned foods allocation will be: CANNED FRUITS AND JUICES: Total estimated supply, 61,136,000] cases. ilar i 24 490.000; contingency reserve, 3.500000: lend-lease,! 279.000; ments, 258000, and U. 1942 was 51.500.000 cases. CANNED VEGETABLES: Total estimated supply, 262,538,000 cases: military, 67,710,000; contingency reserve, 10000000; lend-lease, 3,140000; other exports and shipments, 1.502.000, and U. S. civilians, 180,186,000. Civilian consumption in 1942 was 225,200.00 cases,

Consumption Jr—— While Production Lags, Says Chicago Exchange.
CHICAGO. July 14 (U. P).—The Mercantile Exchange, largest egg exchange in the world, said today the “great increase” in civilian consumption of eggs soon may neces sitate egg rationing. The exchange said both eivilian demand and delivery have soared in the Chicago retail market and | quoted figures for the week ending July 3 as contrasted to last year's
| ves for the corresponding period. |
The figures show that: 1. Wholesale distributors delivered | to the Chicago retail market 25 per| cent more eggs.
2. Milk distributors, who also de-|
liver eggs, handled “better than twice” as many eggs. 3. Chain stores, however, 15 per cent fewer eggs. The exchange said production] figures, however, lagged with only a 13 per cent increase in June, 1943, over June, 1942, It cited other factors which may bring about rationing: 1. Seasonal decline in production will cut down supplies. 2. Since there are no reserve cold!

Nelson ATU 6-Point Program Designed to
Avoid Rationing.
WASHINGTON, July 14 (U. P) — A six-point program designed to avoid clothing rationing for the duration by greater production, orderly distribution elimination of retail practices which | tempt people to buy more than they | need, was announced today by] WPB chairman Donald M. Nelson. Two major objectives of the pro-| gram, he said, are to increase the quantity of essential textiles avail- | able for civilians and to make [certain that the available supply is made to go as far as possible through proper distribution, use and repair. “We need not have clothes ration ing in the United States” he said.’
textiles and textiles products meet all military and essential | civilian needs. is to see that the proper distribution | and use is made.”
Suggests Three Rules
He said the manufacturing industries’ and the wholesale and retail ‘trade have promised full co-opera-fon in this program and have been most helpful in working it out. At the same time, he said the consume ing public has an important part in the project and asked them to observe three simple rules: 1. Don’t buy more than you need. | 2. Don’t buy it before you need it. 3. Make it last as long as you can. His six-point program calls for: 1. Greater production. 2. Orderly and adequate distribution. 3. More “volume” merchandise. 4. Allocation of materials |estontial needs. 5. Increased burlap imports. 6. Consumer care, Nelson said the policy is based on voluntary elimination of all retail ‘practices which tempt people to buy | | more than they need—"fear of scar-| [oity” appeals in advertising and | sales, and other promotional activi- | ties which in ordinary times help | swell the volume of sales.
Seek Higher Output
| Under the program’s first point, | he said steps are being taken to] maintain production of essential [textiles at present record levels and | to increase output wherever possible | without interfering with production | | for the military: 1. Adoption { operation by do so. 2. Protection labor supply. 3. Action by the WPB to insure an adequate flow of materials to [mills and a prompt attention to re quests for repair and maintenance [parts and equipment, | He said adjustment of sales promotion methods is expected to bring a more orderly and adequate dis- | tribution of available goods, | In connection with producing more “volume” merchandise, he said | a reversal of the trend away from | mass produced low-priced clothing is being worked out. It involves directing productions into the volume field to offset an [increase in the output of more expensive fabrics because of higher operating costs.
