conveniences you now enjoy will have
to last you for the duration. It's
only common sense to make them last
as long as possible. But there is no
need to become frantic about your
possessions, or to attach too much
Importance to them. That kind of
thinking leads to wild scramble for
possessions and then to boarding. In
wartime, hoarders are on the same
level as spies; both help the enemy.
War production goes faster when
home life runs smoothly, and so it
is a good idea to keep our homes and
personal possessions in good order
and repair. Do it now-don't wait
until your things are past repairing.
The more shipshape and tidy we keep
our homes and personal possessions
the less we will feel the need to buy
new things.
