Wartime Living
BY BETTY GOLDSTEIN
Federated Press

Income figures just released by the
L. S. Dept. of Commerce show that
freedom from want is still only a
dream for the average family. They
have more money now than before the
war-but barely enough for their
needs, and no backlog
In spite of increased incomes, two
thirds of the nations families had in
comes of less than $1,000 last year.
The minimum wartime budget, to pro-
vide food and clothing and pay rent,
taxes and doctor bills for family of
four in 1943, was $2,991, according to
economists.
WATCH SUGAR
Sugar supplies are tightening up.
Severe grain shortages have height
ened the demand for sugar in the
manufacture of munitions and in in
dustrial alcohol. Also military and
'lend-lease sugar requirements have in
creased, while production here of
sugar beet and cane crops has been
poor.
The result is that there is some talk
in Washington of reducing sugar IA
tfOns. Recently the War Food Admin
istration predicted that sugar con
sumption per civilian will be 75 lbs
in 1914, compared to 1916 lbs in 1913.
MORE LOW-COST CLOTHES DUE
More lOw-cost dresses and blouses
and underwear made out of rayon
knit fabrics are coming soon, OPA
says, as Il result of new ceilings on
rayOn knit fabrics
LOw-cost goods were gradually dis
appearing from the market because
manufacturers made much bigger
profits from higher-cOst goods. TIC
bring about the increased supply in
cheap items, OPA lowered the price
of the cheaper cloth to manufacture
ers, enabling them to make a higher
profit
Work clothes too should be more
plentiful, since WPB has ordered all
mills to increase their production OF
denims, chambrays and other cotton
fabrics used in lOw-priced work
clothes.

she does not lean too heavily to

Helen's just right. We wish her
every success and a lot of luck.

A LITTLE BULL ON SPORTS


A golf course has 18 holes, II
of which are not needed and
put in to make the game
tougher. A 'hole" is a tin cup
in the center of a green. A
green" is small parcel OF
grass costing about $1.75 a
blade and is usually located be-
tween creek, a couple Of
trees, and a lot of bitches.
The idea is to get the ball
from a given point into each of
the holes in. the least number
of strokes and the greatest num-
ber of words.
After each hole is completed
the player counts his strokes.
Then he subtracts eight and
says, "Made that in five" That
is one above par. Shall we play
the next hole or ten cents, too

EX-STARS VS. ALL STARS
We were invited to witness a
softball game between Canoes S
all-stars and the Canoes Execu-
tive Shop Committee, the ex-
stars. The game took place at
Sterling Field. The game was
played last Sunday. 1t was
tragic, glamorous, and humor-
Gus with the old time athletes
losing 10 to l after desperate
rally in the second inning. With
Kaiser" Pisar ski umpiring
most of the melee, neither side
received justice.
Elmer Seegert pitched for the
old boys, with Ted (Bloodroot)
Modrowski behind the bat play
ing a hit and miss game. Lou
Krempa played drop the hand
kerchief (and not a few flies)
out in center field. He cuddled
and fondled the ball affection
ately much to the dismay of
Vince Nowak, who in spite of
his advanced age, managed to
play left field perfectly.
WELDING wicked mace with
dogged determination through
out the game Benjamin Macie-
jewski of the ex-stars proved
himself the worst batsman, as
well as the snappiest first base
man of the game. The modest
man-mountain led the batting
attack with three strikeouts, but
grooming Ben Wannamacher of
the all-stars wound up as cham
pion home-run hitter with a
circuit clout.
Good old Paul Herwat, play
ing for the .ex-stars, hit terrific
double and drove in the one and
only run.
Frank Konczal gave every
thing he had sat the bat, but
complained about the mosqui-
toes spelling his aim. Pitcher
Don Szenderski had the ex-
stars batsmen eating out of his
left hand.
A delivery wagon just pulled
up and out stepped a man
dressed in a white uniform with
two blue coats and straight
jacket. Gotta go now. Good
bye.

LINIMENT LOVERS
By Ted Modrowski

Last Sunday morning was {
very beautiful sight with those
golden rays of sun pouring forth
from the clear blue sky anc
about 80 jerks, instead of stay
ing in bed and getting some
much needed sleep, chose tC
amble out to Sterling Field fol
a game of Softball.
Much could be said about the
condition these dimWits were
in, but rather than go into de-
tail we will sum it up by saying
that we believe Abe Lincoln
who has been dead and buried
all these years, looks better to-
day than the majority of the
lads did last Sunday A. M.
The game was played be-
tween the Cameo Regulars and
the Shop Committee Ironmen
(very rusty too) and was wit
messed by more people than
could crowd into a telephone
booth. The game got off to fast
start. Before the umpire had
finished announcing the bat
teries, "Glassarm" Madrzykow-
ski was belted from the mound
and the regulars had piled up a
lead of 8 runs. (We spotted 'em
10).
The highlights of the game
were the sensational catches of
Vince "Sewer" Nowak, and the
not equally sensational errors
of the remainder of the Com
mittee team. An added attrac-
ton which met with the ap-
proval of the crowd was the
fancy diving exhibition at first
base by "Leadlegs" Modrowski,
who proved beyond a doubt that
he can roll and stumble faster
and farther than he can run.
To put some color in the con-
test, Elmer Seegert displayed
his manly but hairy chest which
was admired by the ladies and
envied by the men. Paul Pegs"
Herwat was somewhat of a dis
traction and to those of you
It was, cease wondering it was
merely Paul with his sons Boy
Scout shorts. "Pegs" looked like
a tree that the woodmen didn't
finish chopping down.

VACATION

claude Hess who writes the
greater share of this column, is
on a well deserved vacation,
the first one in years. Claude
is going fishing at Vineyard
Lake which hasn't had a fish
taken out of it in weeks. After
that, he is coming back to To-
lie do from which point he will
embark upon a canoe expedition
across Lake Erie to Buffalo.
Claude is on his way to the
UAW- -CIO convention which
took place in 1943, but don't say
anything, because he's going
anyhow.
Rumors of Claude's marriage
are greatly exaggerated. Brother
Hess is not married, has never
been married, never expects to
be married and will not marry
up with any woman. He hasn't
anything against the women,
definitely not, its because he
thinks so highly of them that he
refuses to disillusion them.
While Claude Hess is away,
his column will be written by
badge number 981105, a former
stooge of Claude's who hopes
that the canoe trip will turn out
all right and that Claude will
come home with a lovely sun
tan and few extra cigars for
those who still insist that
Claude's trip is really his honey
moon. Don't believe it.
And now that we have ex-
hausted Claude Hess, there isn't
any more to say except the fol-
lowing shop news:
Vera, feeder on line 2, is get
ting married soon, we hear.
Good luck Vera.
