THE HOME FRONT TAKES MAJOR PLACE TODAY Just as Important as the War Front is the Way the People Respond in the All Out Effort at Home. (from OEM) This country is learning fast how you must go about fighting a world war. We are learning that it isn’t enough to be united in our feeling about the war but that we must be united in action, too. And that we must be realistic—prepared for a long hard pull. ’ Nothing better shows the need for realism than the fact that a lot of people thought tire rationing wasn’t going to last. A lot of people thought that because we might be ready to turn out synthetic rubber at the rate of 200,000 tons a year in 18 months or so tire rationing regulations could be relaxed immediately. Price Administrator Leon Henderson killed that idea pronto. He called it “a false hope” and said it is entirely possible that every pound synthetic rubber that can be produced will be needed for military use. We will do well to avoid all easy optimisms all the trends indicate that things may get a lot tougher for' the consumer before they get hetter. But things will get tougher for Hitler and Hirohito, 100. As for unity in action we took a long step toward that on the broad and all-important war production front when the President established the War Production Board with Donald M. Nel-

son as its chairman. That\action cleared the way for concentrated attack under a single leadership" on the job of converting our huge national industrial plant from the uses of peace to the work of war. And that’s how we’ll beat the Axis; The past few days have shown that Americans can unite on action in other spheres too. The Office of Production Management’s campaign to salvage waste paper and scrap metal and rags and old rubber now has been organized in 16 states and OPM is calling on the operators of the nation’s 1,700,000 retail stores to help. Now that we’re in this war and faced with critical shortf(es of materials needed to make eapons and equipment nothing is waste nothing should be thrown away. f All that comes under the general' head There’s another side to this conservation business too at which we will all probably have to become experts. That’s nothing more than taking care of things—from garden hose to tractors. That’s just keeping the old bus running and being careful of its tires because it may be a long while before you can get another helping. Speaking of tractors the OPA probably has headed off a threatened rise in farm equipment J prices. The increase was to have been based on increases slapped I on original equipment tires by j the four major rubber companies, j The rubber companies withdrew | the increases at OPA’s request. So far as the consumer is concerned the prescription looks like “The mixture as before”, but in much larger doses. The great diversion dam of war needs already has impounded more of the things to which we are accustomed than we realize. Many of us won’t realize it until .present stocks in the hands of dealers . . .. often these stocks are large—have been exhausted. But then we’lf see the war reflected on the druggist’s counter and in the clothing store and many other places beside the auto dealer’s. Another thing we can expect is conservation through substitution and simplification. Substitution merely means the use of some other material for a material needed for military purposes. The Nazi’s who’ve had to do a lot more of it than we probably will call such products of substitution “Ersatz” simplification, meaning stripping a machine or a household appliance of every bit of unnecessary material. A good example of simplifica-s tion is the “Victory Model” bicycle at which OPM officials looked the other day. It weighs only 34 pounds as against a 55 pouDd average for last year’s models. America’s bike manufacturers will turn out 750,000 of these machines as against 1,827,000 of the larger models made in 1941. That’ll save 30,000 tons of steel and a lot of nickel and copper.. The tires are smaller and mostly reclaimed rubber. | Consumers will have to make sacrifices but the OPA is making every effort to see they don’t have to pay excessive prices for the things they need . . . sugar prices shouldn’t rise until present stocks in the hands of retailers are exhausted and then only fractionally if at all . . . there’s no shortage of any foodstuff in sis&t although sometimes people create temporary local shortages by “runs” based 'on false rumor . . . the OPM’s order allocating cellophane is going to make a lot of things look a lot different ... it’ll change the packaging of cosmetics and soaps and razor blades and jigsaw puzzles and punch boards . . . cigarettes will still come done up in cellophane where the matUf^"

facturer has eliminated the use of tin foil . . . there’s been a rise of ten cents a thousand in the price ceiling above the socalled “ten cent brands” of cigarettes but they shouldn’t cost you any more over the counter . . the retail price has been on that basis for some while . . . the office of civilian defense has enlisted the nation’s 1,600,000 boy scouts for the duration . . . they’ll assist civil defense units in emergencies . . . the OCD has, launched a Victory Garden Program . . . Idea is more and larger vegetable gardens in every community. * MARGUERITE BOWMAN TO ENTERTAIN MEMBERS OF THURSDAY CLUB t _____ On Thursday, Jan. 29th members of the Thursday Club will be entertained at the home of Marguerite Bowman.
