War Production Board Issues
Information on Knitting

want women to knit sweaters where
absolutely needed by the armed
forces and where the commanding
officer asks for the supplies"
Guthrie goes on to point out that
the average soldier or sailor has
adequate clothing issued by the
government and doesn't need ad-
ditional clothing.
However, there are exceptions.
Cur boys in Iceland are such an
exception. They can make good
use of additional clothing. The same
may be true Of soldiers sent into
the field on long campaigns
But, the war production board
does not want an aimlesS knitting
campaign which will use up pounds
of wool needed for more essential
purposes. In order to prevent this,
the board has made the following
ARRANGEMENTS with the Red Cross 8:
When a commanding officer de
sircs such additional clothing as
sweaters, he will apply to the Red
Cross. the Red Cross will then ar
rance for the sweaters to be knit
ted.
IN this way every sweater knit
ted will serve a good purpose and
there will be no waste of material,
to say nothing of the labor of some
patriotic woman. We welcome the
cooperation of women in knitting
for the armed forces the things
they need. after the commanding
officers have informed the Red
Cross of these needs"

GL0RIFYING
YOURSELF
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Service Staff Writer

These strenuous days call for de-
cisiveneSs and organization in the
use of your time-else you're very
likely to be a victim of O'Clock
exhaustion. And you know what
follows that: either you don't get
to your important dinner or you
appear at the family table with
hair and spirits both struggling.
It's hard to begin? You figure on
lining up your day more eXpertly,
but all that happens is you come
up with no time for keeping pref
ty?
Try it the other way round It's
a surprising fact that many times,
just giving yourself a small break
will cut your tension and step up
your energy to such an extent that
more is accomplished, and parti-
cularly more order than you OBJ
tain by constant self policing.
So, next time you face late af-
telnoon oVerCroWeded with re-
sponsibility and chores, and an eve
ming of relaxation which you know
will find you too fatigued to en-
Joy it, just stop a moment and set
aside a half hour for yourself be-
fore dinner.
Use that half hour for glorify-
ing yourself. Step into a good full
force shower first hot, then cold
Then take a critical look in the
mirror. Dampen your bedraggled
hair ends, pin or roll them into
CurlS, tie net turban on and lie
down. A warm beverage would help
more, and you'd enjoy and profit
by moiStened cotton pads on the
eyelidS, and by good cream or
mask on your face.
A CAT-NAP
WILL HELP
Maybe you will cat-nap-it's the
most efficient thing you can do.
If you don't you'll appreciate just
lying there with your mind made up
to pay no attention whatsoever to
things to do" in your thoughts.
Then get up and remove the
cream. and apply fresh makeup and
nail polish.
Very likely you'll spend a re
laXed, refreshing evening, and
therefore will be truly filter to
function efficiently next day.
