Novel vamp treatments are
important in the "now-on-hand"
shoe picture. When a shoe man
talks about surface interest" he
has in mind all-over perfora-
tons, large or small, and trims
of interesting stitchings-cable,
harness or handcrafted. AL
though wartime rules have
purged two-tone shoes, there's
more than one way to relieve a
monotone effect. 1t is done in
some instances by means of
large-sized perforations, through

AS LONG as rationing ex-
lists. volunteer help will be urg-
emily needed, officials Of the
Civilian Defense Volunteer Of
flee and Macomb county War
Price and Rationing Board
stressed today.
Many persons, the officials
pointed out, were under the i'm
preston that when March l, date
of expiration for the majority
of B and c gasoline coupons,
had passed, that the need for
help dropped off.
Such is not the case. There
is immediate need for at least
80 volunteers a day, to assist
the ID paid workers in the local
ration board programs.
Needed are 10 persons for
tipping: five to 10 to work on
fuel oil rationing; 10 for filing
in the various programs; three
to issue War Ration Book Two;
and three for special gas books.
Anyone who can spare time can
help to answer the crying need
for volunteer war workers.
If you can help, but do not
know which field your services
are most needed in, or where to
60, telephone Mrs. Walter Leh-
ner. placement chairman of the
Volunteer Office, or the Civilian
Defense Office, $40.
NATIONWIDE
Mount Clemens volunteers are
reminded that this situation ex-
lists all over the country. Funds
of the Office of Price Admins
tration are limited. Taxpayers
could never afford to support
enough paid workers to handle
this huge rationing program.
Volunteer workers are answer
ing this same call throughout
the nation. -

of rationing programs. Includ

ing the two-toned effect without
running afoul of the law.
Another newcomer in the shoe
world was born of the knowl-
edge that the stocking shortage
will tempt more women than
ever to 60 bare-legged this sum-
mer. The new shoe is especially
designed for the bare foot, fea-
turing a rayon lining that will
feel cool, reduce the irritation
caused by a moist foot rubbing
against leather lining and relieve
that bane of stockingless days -
the foot sticking to the shoe.

Virginia Naval Officer Praises
Record of PIT Boats in Pacific

By the Associated Press
DETROIT, March 1.-TWO tin
fish were unleashed and real team
work sank another of the Mikado's
fleet"
Thus does 1t. Comdr. Alan r.
Montgomery Of Warrenton, Va, who
for more than year had charge
of fleet of PIT boats in the South
western Pacific, tell of one incident
in the series of operations against
the japanese off Guadalcanal last
fall.
Recovering from an attack of
malaria, Comdr Montgomery is
preparing to return to active duty.
He has been visiting the plant of
the Packard Motor Car Co. here,
which builds the big marine en-
gines with which the PIT craft are
powered.
The tiny boats that operate best
under cover Of darkness, the naval
officer said, have sunk more than
100000 tons of japanese shipping.
Give the Navy more boats like
those it has and it will take care
Of the Pacific" he said.
Illustrating the PIT boat team
work, Comdr. Montgomery related
one incident that occurred last Oc-
tober. A single PIT boat had been
idling along in the dark of night.
Suddenly a japanese destroyer
caught sight of the midget with a
searchlight and gave chase.
The patrol boat was not able to
