THE FAMILY WASHTUB

We have read much of the
attempts of the WPB to make
available to the civilian population
increased quantities of civilian
goods in which shortages have be-
come critical. For example, it is
difficult for the average person
to realize the function of the gal
vanized washtub to millions OF
our people. Over half the homes
of America are without bathrooms,
and the galvanized tub, used for
laundry, with the only bath facil-
ity for the family. Despite this
need, however, there has been
for many months an acute short
age of large galvanized tubs.
This situation is cited to illus
trate the importance of renewing
supplies of essential domestic
items which the, majority of our
citizens must eat, wear and use in
order to maintain the morale and
health of the country. Only the
local storekeeper and the people
affected know the Importance of
such items.
Mistakes were inevitable in es-
tabishing any rationing program
of food and commodity supplies,
but the time for correction has ar
rived, and washtubs point the way.

Old timers will remember wher


the village blacksmith shop was
one of the most interesting places
in town. AS small boys they never
ceased to be thrilled on the oc-
casion of visit to the blacksmith
shop. There was something about
the roaring forge, the sparks that
flew in all directions as the smith
pounded the iron on the anvil, and
skillfully shaped it under his ham
mer. It had a noise, color and
fast action and appealed to the
dramatic in a boy. The old vii
lage blacksmith shop has all but
disappeared in most parts of the
country. In its place has come
the garage and repair shop. For
some reason there is little attrac-
ton to a boy in a garage. There
is no forge, no ringing anvil and
no flying sparks - nothing but
wrenches and grease. With the
village blacksmith shop has gone
the glamour spot of the village
for the small boy. GOO

to themselves too, those heroes Of

for their country. This year as we
think back over those other Deco

children who didn't know, we pray
that the school children today who

MEMORIAL DAY

The Decoration Day of our yes
terdays when for us the occasion
meant parade, band concert in
the park, lots of flowers and much
visiting. We didn't call it Memorial
Day so much as they do today.
The ceremony started early in the
morning when the flag was fast
ened on the front porch with a
lot of discussion of which way the
field should face. A relative would
come with flowers from her yard
to add to the iris, peonies and syr-
inga sprays that we had placed
in buckets of water and placed in
a cool place to keep them nice for
decoration at the memorial serv-
i've and later for the graves at
the cemetery. Perhaps we remem-
Der most distinctly those mounds
because we were impressed with
the rows of metal standards that
held the little flags. Usually the
school children would 60 down
the rows and place the small bou-
quets on each soldiers grave. That
memory lives. We were dressed
up pretty much on this day and
sat on the front steps and watched
the folks 60 by. Friends gath
cred and made plans for the par
ade that was in the offing. And it
was indeed a parade of flags and
uniforms, bands and children. It
was so slow getting under way you
thought as you stood in the hot
sun and impatiently shifted from
foot to foot. But finally the groups
joined together and off you went
to sound of music and cheers. It
was thrilling, but so was it to
those who watched the figures of
the veterans of the Mexican War
ride by, the slow moving veterans
of the Civil War, those who repre-
sented the Spanish-American War
paced it off quickly and snappily.
And then the children, the future
veterans of the World War, though
they didn't know as they kicked
the dust from their shoes, clutched
in hot hands the punches of flow
ers for the soldiers graves. They
only thought this an occasion, seri-
GUS because it meant death in bat
tie, fighting for ones country. But
to children that is like the story
of Crusaders and fascinating like
building forts against the Indians.
So they didn't know that they
