THE Army at War exhibition which
l. opens today at the Detroit Art
Institute should be seen by all of us.
1t consists of paintings and draw
ings done by soldier and civilian
artists, under auspices of the war
department, in the actual battle
areas where American fighting
forces have been engaged.
Many of these vivid portrayals
were conceived and executed in
actual combat zones while battles
were in progress.
There are more than 100 subjects
which are being displayed in con-
junction with the current Sixth War
Loan Drive. Detroiters who view the
exhibition must come away with
new and intensified awareness of the
tremendous job being done by Amer

How Shoppers Can Help

whether they work in restaurants or
markets or shops or factories, and
they should be given first consider
alton"
So far as shopping itself is con-
cerned, purchasers would be wise to
watch the newspaper ads and thus
learn what stores will observe their
usual hours during the Christmas
season and what stores will be open
evenings.
Wise shoppers, especially house
wives who can chart their own time
schedule, will try to do as much as
possible of their buying between 10
a. m. and p. m.
This will enable them to avoid
rush hours, both in stores and on
streetcars and buses.
Also it will give war workers,
whose time is not their own, a chance
to get their Christmas buying accom-
plished in relative comfort.
It's too late now to shop early for
Christmas, but not too late to shop
wisely and considerably.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-12-01

CHRISTMAS shopping always is a
~ major chore for everybody in
volved, even in normal times under
normal shopping conditions.
Increasingly during these war
years it has become definite and
perplexing problem.
The problem can be eased by in
telligent and willing cooperation of
the buying public.
Take, for instance, the question
Of transportation to and from the
shopping districts.
2 William S. Bullock, general man
ager of the DSR, says:
Because OF the nanpolUer short
age among bus and streetcdr oper-
