that ought to give us a new fear
to replace the fear of being caught
short.
A Michigan man recently died
and in his house were found a
thousand cases of canned goods,
OF meats, cases of beer and ale,
sacks Of sugar, a refrigerator full
and in the yard drums of gasoline
and two brand-new tires.
Too Much, Too Soon
So, the new fear ought to be that
instead Of being caught short
some of us might be- caught with
to many things stored away.
How would you like to be caught
with 20 pairs of shoes in your
closet-with 40 pounds of sugar ir
the storeroom, with canned goods
in cases, with cartons of cigarets
Now we can think before we
rush out to buy supply of soon
to-be-scarce commodity, Would
want to be caught dead with
these?' instead sof the old worry
what if I'm caught without any
of this or that?" t..
We can rationaize and defend
our stocking up on scarce com.
modities when were alive-but you
have to be alive to try to convince
people it's anything but just plain

the Kaiser Oregon Shipyards lay in
ruins Friday after a S3,O00.OO0 fire
which damaged seven unfinished
war vessels.
The fire forced closure Of the
yard until next Tuesday. Since the
yard had only three more ships to
complete and was cutting down its
workers rapidly, it was believed
the fire may prove to be the i'm
petuS to virtually end the wartime
Job Of the yard, one Of the largest

It was feared the loss would pass
the S25 5000 mark shortly after
the fire broke out ard the seven
ships caught fire Then it was
discovered that quick action in tow
ing the ships into the Willamette
river had prevented interior damage
to the vessels. which drastically
lowered the loss figures.
