Get a grip on yourself and stop
singing those OPM Blues.
You needn't be frightened by
that Big Bad Wolf priority"
Even If you can't have silk
stockings or zippers or imported
linen handkerchiefs any more,
you're going to look just as
beautiful as ever.
Your Uncle Sam is wise old
man, and he realizes that feminine
fashions play a large part in
morale.
Your favorite uncle is asking
you to change a good many of
your buying HABITS, your fashions
and even your way of life. The
brass and chromium that went
into last years costume jewelry
will go this year into guns and
tanks and planes. Your 1912
spring dress will be zipperless,
and you may be asked to wear
your hair short to save hairpins.
But for every non essential
gadget the OPM takes away from
you, there's going to be good
substitute.

To help quiet the panic of girls
who can't imagine life without silk
linen, metal bangles and zippers
i got together the costume picture
here, observing all priorities, but
with no shortage of style.
The dress is the kind you'll
be seeing soon on our best
dressed young women of
lightweight navy blue wool
crepe because the government
says there is as yet no short
age Of wool. The wrap-around
coat style is flattering yet in
nocent Of any metal fasteners.
Because there is a shortage of
fur felt, you'll see more and more
smart little hats like the one
worn by our Miss Priorities, OF
navy blue rayon betting ribbon.
The Army needs leather for
shoes, SO women's shoes will use
more and more fabric tops. Fab
ric handbags and gloves may be
the rule of the future.
When the present silk stocking
supply is exhausted, there won't
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1942-01-02

be any more. But as long as we
have coal, air and water, we'll
have nylon, just as flattering and
far more durable. The new nylon
stockings will have cotton or
rayon tops and feet. but that,
again, is no unbearable hardship

continued.
Send Supplies to Britain.
'The people and industries Of Brit
ain are vitality dependent on the
foodstuffs and raw materials that
come from New Zealand" he said.
The speaker enumerated some Of
the exports to Great Britain in the
first two years OF the war. These
included $4,000 tons of meat, 254,-
900 tons of butter, 100000 tons OF
cheese and 1900 900 bales Of WOOL
These are really big figures" the
Minister remarked, "and If you
notice I have said tons and not
pounds. The butter alone which We
have sent would form q wall 8 feet
high stretching for 400 miles," he
explained.
While expectation has increased,
importation of luxuries has prac-
tically ceased, Mr.. Nash said. Motor
cars are no longer imported and gas
is sold only for military and ex-
tremely important industrial pur-
poses. Foodstuffs are abundant, the
speaker added, and the cost Of living
has risen less than in any other
belligerent country.
The increase in production and
the efficientt carrying-on of home
industries has been largely due to
the efforts of the New Zealand
women, the Minister declared.
1T is not only the splendid work
they do but its the hearts of the New
Zealand women that are so good" !"

said. THE Womens War Service
Auxiliary with a membership Of 40,-
900 is an integral part of the civil
defense organization" he continued.
Mr.. Nash told how New Zealand
women are working in factories,
shops and offices replacing men who
have been diverted to "unproduc-
tive" war activity. The severe strain
placed on the nations economy has
left wide gap to bridge. he pointed
out, but the gap has been bridged by
feminine efforts and in spite of it
all New zealand's output from
farms and factories last year was
without parallel.
Women in factories more than
doubled their overtime work last
year." he stated. Their services
have been particularly valuable in
munition works; in woolen, mills, In
the boot and shoe and clothing in
dustries," he added.
All clothing used by New Zealand
soldiers as we'll as civilians, is manu-
factured in the country, the speaker
explained. In addition to this tens

Little New Zealand's generous

and guests of the Newspaper

Minister, who arrived from Auckland
by plane three weeks ago, described
in detail the preparedness program
which is being carried out by the
men and women of his country.
With a population of 100000
people, New Zealand has already
sent more than $4,000 men overseas
and has 10000 more in full-time
camps prepared for military service,
the Minister explained. Over 10000
young New Zealanders have already
been killed. wounded or taken pris-
oner, he added.
Long casualty lists which have
now become an unhappy feature of
our daily press, serve to bring home
still more forcibly the fact that this
war is something very real to every
family and every individual" Mr..
Nash said.
Women Play Full Part.

shouldered the responsibilities of
war with their men. he continued.
