Hints to Shoppers
Male Matters by Tarny

Once upon time, as Snow White and her dream prince were nibbling at their silver anniversary dinner, the fair princess glanced at her husband with a special brand of bathing. Why" she exclaimed acidly, cant you run downtown to Joe the Blacksmith and change your old suit of armor for. some thing that will be in style at the next joust. Every time kiss you it's like making love to a rusty boiler and I refuse to stand for it."
 Now, to the prince, this was all in the nature of a distinct shock. Twenty-Five years before he had dislodged the poison apple, stumbled few Walt Disney lyrics and won the fair damsel All of a sudden the wife insists that he dis card his comfortably broken in suit of iron undies for the latest in stainless steel sport coats and con- trasting CRS britches.
 Even today, too many of us forget that it was often the bright new tie we wore and not our stale jokes that put the gleam in the little wo- mans eye. But as Snow White told the prince in no uncertain terms, new cravat for the next trip to the movies make a world of differ ence. Why not give that girl treat next time you go out and spruce up for her?
 Probably the most significant change in clothing during the past few years has been the rise of sportswear. The average American has always liked casual clothes, in- cluding sport shirts, jackets and slacks and now he Is beginning to realize how truly comfortable they can be. Coincidental to this broad expansion of interest is the de- velopment of many types of ap- parel. There is an indefinite diver sity of textures, each with a use of it's own.

DOUGHBOYS SHOP WHILE ADVANCING

Washington P-Invading Am- erican doughboys of the 79th In- fantry Division in France mailed Christmas packages early to their folks back home, according to an Army Observer just back from there.
 Every time the division stopped near a town, infantrymen who had a chance bought something and sent it home" commented Maj Lawrence H. Walker, Jr., of Camp Hill, Pennsylvania. "The division postal section was sWamped. Most of the packages were small, prob ably containing French handker- chiefs or embroidery gifts. There wasn't much of the famous French perfume around when the Ger mans were driven out"

 Coal Dealers

Waterbury's fuel situation re- mained static today as local fuel dealers made every attempt to sat- isfy customers with what supplies are now available.
 Local dealers stated today that the anthracite supply here is at its lowest since the start of the war and declared also that despite the lifting of freight embargoes, sched- uled to take place at midnight, there is little likelihood that sup plies will reach here much before 10 days.
 Hardship cases made their ap- pearance yesterday, the fifth day of the tight situation, as large fami lilies with no coal on hand appealed for aid. Emergency calls amount ed to 60 of which 35 were hardship cases.
 Police department members are checking closely all bidders for coal supplies as directed under the gov ernment ruling to assure that no complainant seeks coal while stil, having some in home bins.
 Only substitute fuels such as re- claimed coke, wood, etc, are to be delivered to theaters, amusement places, auditoriums, etc, under the directive of Seth Darley, fuel ad- ministrator.

New York, Jan. 30.-(UP)-Henry Wallace opened his campaign today for popular support of his bid for the post of Secretary of Commerce and its present lending-spending powers with an appeal to the liber- al forces that swept President Roosevelt into office for a fourth term.
 Wallace issued his first call against a sympathetic sounding board last night--a testimonial din- ner given him by the Union for Democratic action, an organization of American Federation of Labor and Congress of industrial organiza- tions headed by Bruce Bliven, liber- al writer.
 In bombastic speech Wallace said his oponents were men fight ing against the survival of capital ism and free enterprise" He told the 1,450 guests at the dinner these men either support policies which will make 100000 900 jobs impossible, or wish to destroy all possibility of B progressive Democratic party as 8 national force"
 Heartened by praiSefu letter written by President Roosevelt to sponsors of the testimonial dinner five days before Wallace's nomina- tion as Secretary of Commerce was sent to the Senate, the former Vice president interpolated his prepared speech to say he would decline the job if it's spending powers were as signed to 0 "too-little and too-late man."
 He said he did not fear such an eventuality.
 His statement was an optimistic about face from the hearing on his nomination by the Senate Con- merce committee at which he said he would accept the post even If the Reconstruction Finance Corporation was separated from it.
 Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt addressed the dinner guests, praising Wallace as courageous leader"
 The Presidents letter, written on January IT, said;
 T was glad to hear of your testi- monial dinner to Henry Wallace. l am happy to send message. Indeed whenever and wherever men gather to give testimony to the contribu- ton of Henry Wallace to our times and our future, want to be called as witness.
 With other Americans, I am grateful for the things that Henry Wallace has done as great Secre- tary of agriculture and as a vice president with a clear voice to the conscience and the hopes of men everywhere.
 You and I can be grateful also for what Henry Wallace is in the meaning of things we have beer trying to do to make better Amer ica and, in the war we now wage to make better world.
 Henry Wallace comes to the enc of his term as vice president as { man moving to a new usefulness al 8 public servant and as frs spokesman of faith in the dignit! and freedom of man. The occasion of the dinner, am sure, IS not on, of farewell
