SEE SHORTAGE
EXTENDING into
3RD WAR YEAR

Washington, Dec. 7.-(UP)-The
home front Is going to find it tough
going in the third year of the war
but it may not be as bad as had
been anticipated.
1t is pretty certain that the pub
lie will not receive any major home
front bonanzas until the last bomt
has exploded-in Europe, at least.
Nevertheless, authorities said
the American public will be the best
fed, best clothed, best housed OF
any Of the warning powers.
Here's how the civilian Is likely
to fare next year:
Consumer Goods
The only commodities that posi-
lively will reappear are the two
way stretch, garterS, SuSpenderS and
such elastic goods which now can
be made of synthetic rubber. These
will come around Easter time, un-
der present plans. Hooks and eyes
and zipperS also are expected 70
make return engagement.
Clothing and shoes will continue
to fall short Of civilian demand
but this will be due more to the
manpower problem than to a pro-
hibitive absence Of supplies.
New radios will still be off the
market and a resumption OF pro-
duction for mechanical refrigera'
tors cannot be anticipated in the
absence of the factional horse
power motor.
War Production Chairman Don
aid M. Nelson has promised thai
production of civilian goods will be
permitted on an increasing scale
will permit the release Of plants and
materials. But the civilian is re-
minded that production Of civilian
goods during wartime can never be
anywhere near normal and the
authorized resumption Of produc-
ton or stepped-up manufacture IS
mainly for the purpose of cushion
ing the expected deterioration.
Sharp increases in repair parts
for essential machines will help to
make life more comfortable for CT
villains who have been watching
some OF their treasured possessions
wear out for two years.
RatiOning
Considerable simplification OF the
entire rationing program will ge un-
derway with the Inauguration of ra-
ton tokens in February. All food
ration coupons will be assigned a
flat 10-point value, with, with
the plastic tokens being given as
change for any purchase amounting
to less than ten points. Tokens will
be good at any time.
With the exception OF possibly a
few processed food items which may
be given zero point values as sup
plies increase, the ration charts
probably will not be altered drasti-
cally. Fluctuating point values,
however, will keep the consumer on
his toes.
Food: There will be more cereals,
milk and eggs. but less of all kinds
of meat, under present War Food
plans. After a rec
ord breaking production year, the
VITA has ordered concentration on
grains In the 1914 crops program,
but thinks the country could get
along on less meat production and
still assure fulfillment of essential
requirements.

1.-The chant Of a Buddhist priest"
and "the call of a Muezzin" is in
teresting and bit shocking. How
ever It is likely that such distor-
ton Of the meaning of Christmas,
tied as 1t was to bland expressions
Of good will, easily passed the I'M
critical eyes of most readers. Of
course the statement was not in
tended as offensive. But such flag
rant perversions of the meaning of
Christmas should not go unchal-
1enged.
CHRIST'S MASS
With the passing Of the years the
continual accomplishing of the
true religious significance of Christ
mas becomes more marked. Today
many forces, some consciously and
deliberately and some with no evil
intent, are striving to exile Christ
from Christmas.
Once 1t was a wholly religious
feast day. It was a holy day. 1t
was Christ's Mass-His coming
again on our affairs on the morn
ing of His birth. Now little by lit
tie the religious observance has
been pushed back and back and
Christmas for many has degener-
ated into a day of good will, gifts
and feating, a day that lives on the
borrowed significance Of its Chris
tan origin.
It Is the duty of Christians who
observe and cherish the feast as q
commemoration of the birth OF
the Son of God to fight both the
innocent and the evil attempts to
crowd the Christ Child from Christ
mas.

United States should assume toward
other countries now and after the
war.
The questions involve opinions as
to the reasons for war, extent of
ornaments, trade relations, atti-
tude toward allies and postwar Or
sanization to maintain peace.
The league presents its own anti
isolationist position in the conclud-
ing statement:
IF you made 100, you recognize
the tragic, mistaken thinking that
paved the way for the present war
and will produce another unless it
is corrected. You realize that the
freedom and security of the United
States are vitality affected by the
fate OF the other peoples of the
world. You are aware that freer
exchange Of goods between nations
is indispensable in a reconstructed
world, because trade is the life blood
of production and employment"
The first on which players" are
asked to check their opinion reads:
I'VE are fighting this war for only
one reason-because Japan attacked
U.s." If you checked no." says the
league, give yourself 10 points. I'VE
are fighting this war" it asserts,
because the freedom that America
symbolizes would be lost to the world
