Nations Smokers Soon To Depend On Kitchen Matches And Lighters

BY ANN STEVICK NEA Staff COrreSDOnGsent

Washington, Nov. 20-During the last war, everyone was singing: While you've a lucifer to light your flag, smile, boys, that's the style" Now you have neither the lucifer ncr the flag, so everyone's singing tlle blues.
 To your worry about the cig- arette shortage, you can now add tears over the shortage of matches to light them. As it is, War Pro duction Board match strategists predict you'll soon be operating from a box of kitchen lucifers al- most entirely.
 Clues to the disappearance of the match are:
 1. Military buyers from now on will snatch 90 per cent of penny bcx matches, 25 per cent of the book matches. That will amount to an even bigger take than the 1944 es- timate of Army Quartermasters' 54,- OoJ 900 cartons of 12 penny boxes over 3,OOO,0O0 large kitchen boxes, and about 1000 0O0, 900 of the small match-books included in K-rations, plus Navy's take of 300, ,O00,0 900. pen ny boxes.
 2. U. S. matchmaking figures, according to Department of Com merce, are downish from 1941's high point of 5oO,oOO, ,OOO, 900 to 42's 475,- OOoOOO, 900. Figures for 1944 go un- de-ground into secret information, but manufacturers have complained so much about labor difficulties that it's safe to guess at a lower figure. And remember that the homefolks smoked 25 per cent more cigarettes in 1943 than in 1941. That means more people want more matches.
 3. Match imports dwindled from 1939's $30O,O0O value (round figures, and a drop in the bucket of that years U. s. production of over $25,- 100000 to 1941s $100.000 worth.
