"PRIORITY"

We have new word in our diction-
airy, a word that is on everyone's lips,
that comes into every conversation.
that hangs on every purchase, that is
taking an unprecedented part in our
daily lives. 1t is the word priority"
Just what does priority mean? The
answer is very simple. Priority is
simply putting first things first.
As a nation and as individuals, we
have one job today-the job of win
ming this war This must come be
fore anything else, because, if we
don't win it, there won't be anything
else. And defeat would be unthinkablc
to any Of us.
The quicker we win the war, the
sooner can we return to the way Of
life we want to live, to the full en-
joyment Of the advantages and happi-
nesses Of the democratic way Of life.
The quicker we win it, the sooner can
our factories revert to the production
of those things which make life easier
and more enjoyable. The quicker We
win it, the sooner will our men come
home, our families live again as fam
lies should, in peace and prosperity,
free from fear, free to plan again for
the future.
Here is where priority comes in.
Priority means that we must put the
war effort first We must ask our
selves before buying anything, wheth-
err or not it is essential. We must use
our money for war bonds, not for
luXuries War bonds have priority on
all spare cash-and spare cash means
all that is not needed for bare living
expenses. We must remember that
non-essentiaIs not only take money
but they take man-power to make
and transports; they take space
needed for war materials; they use
up steel and rubber and gas to move
them from place to place, LuXuries

for the duration.
Priority means that we must work
hard at those things which are essen
tial. In industry, if we have the
strength. In civilian defense, and
other volunteer war tasks, if we can
not give all our time. We must re-

Turning Over An

Considering all these things, the
hope, born on April "a, when his
seven-point anti-inflation program
was announced, and renewed on
September 7 when it was reaffirmed,
that Mr.. Roosevelt meant really to
grapple with the initiation threat,
seems slightly sick at the moment
There is no sign that either farm
prices or wages will be rigidly con

if that were done, without a tax pro
gram that will reach every group of
producers and consumers and not
merely be levied largely on less than
half the national income and on
still smaller percentage Of the popula-
ton, initiation cannot be successfully
fought. Wage and price control are
essential but supplemental to the right
kind of tax program. The President,
himself, has said so, but as yet he has
not put himself effectively behind any

lions have put in the hands of the
people. The present bill is not com
prehensive and is grossly inadequate.
No comprehensive and adequate pro-
gram has come from the Treasury,
though it is fair to say that what Mr.
Morgenthau urged was better than
what we seem likely to get. Yet the
Treasury, presumably rejecting the
Presidents views, consistently has OPP
posed the sales tax, which is the only
practical step by which this bill could
be made fully comprehensive and AIDE

adequate taxation program and then
prevent it from being either does not
make sense, but that, nevertheless, is

hope Most Administration journalists
insisted that he was gong to be very
tough, indeed. But. it was made clear
by the mctuous proclamations Of
patriotic support that came from the
labor lobbyists, after Iunching with
The President, that they were not
greatly disturbed. Quite plainly, they
felt that whoever else Mr.. Roosevelt

feeling.

Frocks Trimmed
With Russian
Embroidery
BY ELEANOR GUM

NEW YORK - 1t went without
~ saying that when the new dress
collections were unveiled there
would be plenty Of Russian en-
broidery. and plenty of Russian
blouSeS.
Russian and other peasant en-
broiderieS are used in rich yoke
and border effects, sometimes on
open sleeves, at the narrow hens.
Collarless necklines for these Rus
sian embroidered dresses and the
traditional buttoned- collar
less neckline all bring out the spe-
cial Russian character.
In one collection red embroidery
lavishly used against black side

tering and different color scheme,
see the same silhouette in peacock
green with royal beading for the
leaf border.
One may then expect return OF
turbans. CoSSack- and other Rus
sian forms. which brings to mind
the information that at many of
the millinery openings held to date
crowns have reached towering pro-
portions--a bit too towering to be
worn with comfort.
In direct opposition to this high
crown movement are the flat-aS-
pancake berets. SO don let wear
ing a crown get you down. You
needn't if you don't want to, but If
you do, see that the crown fits your

At times there may be something

The solution here Is not difficult,
and need not lead to family quar-

But if the habit is too firmly fixed
it is suggested that father meet the

der it was so easy to get volunteers
for this particular campaign. It's
the women who spend the family
stipend and whose blood pressure
goes up in proportion to prices.
It's necessary for everyone con-
cerned to have ceiling. or top
price. above which no one can go.
AS we all know. there are high CELL
ings and low ceilings. The object Is
to establish a given point. The
yardstick is the price Of the COM
modify at given time. Another
object is to insist that the store
keeper display price or ceiling
signs.
Changes Are Legion
The pattern of life is undergoing
so many changes that we are mo-
mentarily disturbed and confused.
But that's n tural, especially
among the older folks. for changes
come harder with each year Of life.
It's probably very good for those
who are, perhaps quite uncon-
sciously getting set in their ways,
to have not only their ways but the
way of life change Keep flexible
mentally as well as physically and
the changes will be more easily
accomplished.
If you've tried to get hold of any
of your women friends lately you

I'm sorry, old dear. but I can't
do it today. It's my Red Cross day."
or "it's my day for collecting for
the U.S.O.," or my First Aid
Class"
You know at once that that's
final. Nothing is going to swerve
them from their duty. Women take
their new interests with great
earnestness, which is as it should
be. No one with a free morning, or
afternoon, on her hands should

away from their work.
When it was just washday, or
the day to clean the cupboard or
bake a cake, it wasn't so difficult
to get any pal to put off whatever
was planned. But not any more.
When pleasure interferes with
work, one doesn't give up work
as went the old saw.
No CompIaeency
Despite much talk Of national
complacency, there is very little Of

community. The days of afternoon

are over, and even for cause, or at
a price, there are few such parties.
It's increasingly difficult to ind

WHEN President r oseve t

Benet has devoted all his writing

and the prayer marked a high

Over the radio his efforts have
been notable and stirring. His re-

based on the NaZi book burningS Of
a few years ago, was sensational
broadcast. Benet has put aside all

currently on series called Dear

name, he comes from Bethlehem.

finds words come slowly and works
hard at his writing. Married to
