Paint Scarcity Looms,
Home Economist Gives
Hints on Its Best Use

College Station, Texas.-Before
long, paints of mary types are 60
ing to become scarce.
Mrs. Bernice Clayton, specialist
in home improvement for the A.
and M. college extension service,
says shortages will be felt especial
ly in paints, varnishs, and enam-
els for interiors. The reason is,
these require natural or synthetic
resins.
For some time synthetic resins
have been ear-marked for exclusive
war use, and lately the War Produc-
ton board has ordered so per cent
cut in the amount of natural resins
manufactured for civilian purposes.
Here are some of the specialists
suggestions for choosing and using
interior paints to the best advantage.
Seml-gloss paint, which washes
well and is not too harsh in ap-
pearance, is suitable for kitchens
and bathrooms.
Flat paint gives a t'soft" appear
ance and is best for large areas
such as walls and ceilings. 1t soils
less quickly than gloss paint, but
1t will not stand up as well under
washing.
Calcimine is the cheapest wall
paint available. Though it cannot
be cleaned, it can be washed off
entirely and new coat applied.
The specialist cautions:
Don't use calcimine on
smooth woodwork or on walls
which have been covered with
oil paint" The coating eventu-
ally will chip off and make later
re-painting far harder.
Enamel should be used only on
very smooth surfaces, for it makes
holes, chips, and scars more no.
ticeable.
Homemakers who want to avoid
the trouble of sandpapering and
planning uneven surfaces, should use
gloss or semi-gloss paint instead
of enamel.
With other scarcities looming
homemakers have been requested
by many universities extension spe-
cialists and government officials to
file clippings which describe how
such material can be efficiently
used.

Most Kicks Come From Pressure Groups,
OPA Administrator Points Out

on hand to serve the country's
greatest needs.
We need all the typewriter fac
tories for manufa cture of shells,
gun parts and other war sup
plies. Typewriter production
stops, SO we ration the typewrit-
ers we have on hand to meet our
most essential needs.
We need the metals and rubber
that go into bicycles, for war
production. No more bicycles.
So we ration the bicycles we
have left to those who really
need them.
In the East, we can't get
enough gasoline because we
haven't enough tankers or other
facilities to transport all it takes
to run all cars as usual without
hampering our war effort. So
we ration gasoline to give every
essential user enough for his ac-
tual needs.
Each Problem New One.

fective and fair to our 1870 million
people is quite another matter. Even

have sought to wreck our rationing
programs because their own per-
sonal profits from the sale of the
rationed commodities were reduced.
They have sought to do this by cit
ing misleading figures in attempts
to prove that shortages do not exist
in the rationed commodity in which
they hold an interest, and that ra-
tioning therefore should be discard
ed.
These people, whether they real
ize it or not, are committing an I'M
patriotic act. They are putting their
dollar profits ahead of their coun-
try's interests, and are trying to
bargain their hopes for future free
dom for the quick financial gain
that would come from frantic hoard
ing by a panic-stricken people.
1t is not sufficient for good Ameri-
cans simply to ignore the attacks
made by these selfish interests. We
should all be vocal in our denunci-
alton of such propaganda and de-
mand that every person making
such unwarranted statements de-
signed to wreck our rationing pro-
grams, back those statements with
facts to prove them.
End False Rumor.
This does not mean that Aneri-
can citizens should be denied the
right to express their opinions on
rationing, or any other subject. I
am simply asking that Americans
who know the Importance of assur-
ing fair, orderly distribution of COM
modities that become scarce during
our war effort, place every selfish
critic of rationing in the position of
having to prove everything he says.
We can thus bring to an end much
of the false rumor and insidious
propaganda that has beset our eff
forts to do a necessary job.
Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1942-08-20

100 million people is something new
under the sun. Never before in his
tory has it been done. Every prob
lem that arises is a new problem.
We can't call in the experts, be-
cause there are no experts. We
have to work it out on what seems
to be the soundest possible basis,
and when we find we're wrong, and
our plans don't work, we have to
go back and change them. We're
learning as we 60.
But we have been beset on the
other hand by another kind of criti-
cism that has not been helpful. Our
rationing programs have been SUBJ
jected to criticisms and attacks from
enemy and selfish interests whose
sole purpose was to destroy public
confidence in rationing; to wreck the
system.
These enemy attacks were de-
signed to hamper our war effort by
spreading confusion and dissatisfac-
ton on the home front as one phase
of the Axis propaganda activities in
the United States. This of course
emanated from the offices of the
former Bund members and other
enemy agents and is dealt with
whenever the FBI breaks up the
work of spies and saboteurs.
Downright Selfishness.

higher interests of our war effort.

WOODEN SAILING SHIPS

When Undersecretary of Com
merce Wayne C. Taylor was flying
to Rio for the Inter-America con-
ference, he remarked:
"Our toughest problem is shipping.
We have to find something that will
give us the most cargo space, using
the least critical material. That's
the formula
Then he looked out of the plane
window and saw tiny sailing vessel
below. "You may laugh" he said,
"but we may even come to that. "
That was last January. What Tay-
lor had said on an impulse stuck in
his mind. At Rio he talked it over
with Brazilians who were worried
about moving their coffee crop. He
was sure he had the answer to the
submarine campaign-ships requir-
ing no critical materials, ships that
would coast along in shallow waters
and keep alive the trade among the
Americas.
But he struck snag in Washing
ton. The Maritime commission was
not interested. Skeptics said it was
a reversion to the 'horse-and-buggy
days. of the sea. Three times Tay-
lor worked up his project in revised
forms, but each time it failed to
click.
Then he tried another tack. He
published an account of the project
in trade weekly of the department
of commerce. Immediately it struck
fire. Boat builders all over the coun-
try wanted to take part in the enter
prise. Official interest was kindled.
Result was that RFC allocated
100000 900, with which the Rookie
Teller Office is setting up corpora
ton to build and acquire wooden
sailing vessels for inter-American
trade.
Two designs have been completed,
one for a shallow draft vessel and
one for heavy sea vessel. Yards
have been selected in Latin Amer
lea, and contracts are being lei.
There will be an endless belt of
300-ton sailing ships, making long
and short voyages, using auxiliary
engines when necessary, but saving
fuel by using, most of the time, the
trade winds that made the Carib-
bean famous in the days of Clipper
ships.

of the OPA

because the present rationing program is
of paramount interest to every person, this
paper presents an exclusive article written
for. members of the Western, Newspaper
Union syndicate by Leon Henderson, price
control administrator. The views expressed
are those of Mr.. Henderson,
There are still a lot of rough
spots in rationing, but we know
we're on the right track because
most of the kicks we're getting
are coming from the pressure
groups, and comparatively few
from the public.
And as more and more ration
ing becomes necessary, we're
going to make more mistakes.
But we're going to find them
out, and cure them one at
time because that's the way
progress is made.
While rationing on the modern
scale is unprecedented, rationing it.
self, is nothing new to Americans.
AS matter of fact, it's older than
our government itself because the
Pilgrims used it at Plymouth Rock
to weather the hardships of days of
scarcity. Washington, of course,
was the nations first rationing adj
ministrator. Indomitable courage,
and rationing, brought his men
through Valley Forge. Rationing
played great part in the settling of
the West because many of those
hardy pioneers would never have
made it across the desert if they
hadn't pooled all their supplies and
shared alike.
Fight for Life Itself.
Now that our nation faces fight
for life itself, we're using this valu-
able tool to insure the necessities of
life to every American so that we
can all pitch in on the one big job
of winning the war. That's what ra-
tioning really amounts to. The pub
lie, l believe, is realizing that ra-
tioning is a protective measure for
the individual and the country in
stead OF an unnecessary restrictive
device, and they are supporting it,
by and large, as they are supporting
our other necessary war measures.
Most of the criticisms that come to
us from the public are from people
who really don't understand the pur-
poses OF rationing programs and
why they are necessary, or those
who have been misled by selfish in
terests seeking to destroy rationing,
into the belief that it is not neces-
sary, or that it is being done simply
to make our people aware of the
seriousness of the war.
Six Commodities Rationed.
In the first eight months of war
for our country, we have had to
ration six commodities: sugar, tires,
autos, typewriters, bicycles, and in
the East, gasoline.
Very briefly, here are the reasons:
We can't ship enough sugar
into the United States to give
everyone all he wants of it;
therefore, we ration sugar so
everyone can have a fair share.
Our principal source of rub
Der is cut off; we can't make
enough tires for everyone; there
fore, we ration tires to serve our
country's most vital needs.
We need our auto factories for
war production. No more autos.
So we ration what autos we have

Trained Muscles

but this sextette has the lead.
Trained Muscles
The majority of all the leading
stars were One-game people. Bobby
Jones, for example, played no 9th
er game but golf until he was grown.
Every muscle in his body was trained
and developed for golf swing.
Bob had no conflicting muscles
that wouldn't work together.
Schoolboy Rowe was star at
Football, golf, tennis, shot-putting
and other pastimes while playing
baseball Over-developed muscles
had no helpful effect on his pitching
career.
Ty Cobb played no game but base
ball. Cobb refused to swing a golf
club until near the end of his major
league career.
Ty still insists the two swings are
different. They are in CObb's case,
as Ty in baseball was more of a
puncher than a swinger. Ruth,
Speaker and others were swingers
who could play golf in the 70s.
The Case OF Chandler
The case of Spurgeon Chandler,
the Gainesville Clipper, takes an I'm
usual angle.
Here is pitcher who has won
% of his last "a games, turning
back to the summer of 1941. And
this happened after he had passed
his 32nd birthday.
AS starter it took Chandler five
years and touring jaunt through
seven different cities before he final
ly parked himself on Yankee
bench. After that a yanked arm
ligament and later a broken ankle
were no great help.
When Spud dropped his first four
games last spring his outlook was
about as sunny and as cheerful as
windowless cellar.
And then it happened-10 straight
for 1941-12 out of IA for 1942-and
almost every game brilliantly
pitched.
I recall years ago Harry Mehre,
then Georgias coach, telling me that
Chandler was one of the hardest
workers on his squad.
Chandler has proved that by TAX
ing the knocks and raps that came
his way without a kick or an alibi.
1t took him 10 years to locate the
smoother road, and 10 years is quite
chunk from a pitchers career.
But doubt today that anyone can
name better pitcher.

VICE PRESIDENTS
RECREATION

On a hot August morning, when
residents of the Wardman Park
hotel had fans turned on full blast,
they looked with surprise to see four
figures come out on the tennis court.
They looked second time. It was
the vice president and a party of
friends out for a set of doubles.
Henry Wallace took off a pair of
Stacks, threw them into corner,
and trotted out onto the court in
white shorts and white sports
shirt 1t was eight o'clock as the
game began.
Wearing no hat or eyeshade, and
welding the racket in his left hand,
Wallace entered into the game with
the gusto of a high school boy. 1t
was not tennis of professional quail
ity, but it was high class amateur
play. Frequently the ball was re-
turned eight or ten times in a single
exchange. Once when Wallace was
at the net, he made five returns in
succession, finally won the point.
At 9:05 the set ended. Wallace
retreated to the corner of the court,
pulled on his Stacks, headed back
to his apartment for shower.
Other apartment jewellers, still sit
ting in front of the fans, sighed and
shook their heads in wonderment.
