PAINT BRUSHES
WILL BE SCARCE
In NEAR FUTURE
War Production Board
Urges Conservation
Measures

Paint brushes are the latest to
fall as result of the war closing
shipping lanes bearing the bristlcs
for brushes from foreign sources.
According to word received by Act
ing Governor E. L. Bartlett today,
the War Production Board has re-
quested that all brushes be con-
served because of the inevitable
shortage that will follow. ~
The Board lists six means OF
getting longer wear from paint
brushes:
Don't use them, but use spray
painting facilities whenever avail
able
2-Use as small brush as you
can for your work Never use .
large brush for trimming. q
3-Use the lowest grade brush
available for work of minor i'm
portance and save the best brushes.
4-See that new brushes are prop
erly brokn in. " |
5-See that brushes not IN Use
are properly cleaned and stored IN
a container in cool, dry place.
6-Never store brushes in water.
The War Production Board sug-
gested that many old brushes
should be saved and may be re-
claimed by brush factories 1t sug-
gested that means be found to
turn the old brushes back through
a waste salvage project.

Sentry Who Gives Warn
ina When Words Fail
BY GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Mar. 3-The mail
this morning includes note from
Lieutenant James Elson, U. S. NJ,
who opines that the tension fol-
lowing the assault against Pearl
Harbor was not altogether without
it's lighter moments.
This actually happened, Elson
says: A colonel while making the
rounds after dark was sharply chal-
lenged by a sentry. The colonel
correctly gave the pass word and
waited for his challenger to pass
him on.
But there was long silence.
Finally the colonel asked, Whats
the matter? Have you forgotten
what comes next?"
"Yes-damn it. and don't you
move till l think of it, either"
