Ration Free Shoe
Sale Coming Up

Limited quantities of mems and
women's shoes may be sold to con-
sumers ration free at specified price
reductions during the two weeks
period of February 10 through
March 3, OPA announces. Two-fold
purpose of the temporary ration
holiday, OPA states, is to give con-
sumers the benefit of extra shoe
mileage that otherwise might remain
unused on dealers shelves, and to
help dealers clear their stocks of
the normal accumulation of odds
and ends and broken sizes.
Before rationing, such shoes were
customarily disposed of in seasonal
clearance sales. OPA estimates
that about 100000 pairs of shoes
will be sold in this special ration
free sale"

THIS BUSINESS OF LIVING
-ny SUSAN THAYER

My cleaning woman of three
weeks has gone back to her war
plant job, and I'm scrubbing the
kitchen floor alphabetically,
to, if l do say so, for 1 know how
they need her.
you know, Mrs. Thayer," she
told me in hurt tone, "the gov
eminent people keep saying in the
papers that so many war workers
left their jobs because they got tired
or thought the war was over.
"But that's not true. l know. They
shut down all the machines in the
department l worked in because they
said there was an over-supply of
what we were making-and that's
why l left. Now the government
talks about drafting people for war
jobs"
1 tried to be soothing. "You see
when the, setback in Europe came,
the government found there wasn't
any surplus after all, but a shortage
So now they want you and all the
rest to go back"
"They don't need to draft mel"

she retorted. "Guess 1 can get my
self over to the factory without any
government bureau sending me a
notice, same as l did in the first
place. Why, haven't l got two boys
in the Philippines, Mrs. Thayer?
This is my war, same as it is any
body's down in Washington"
l laughed. Don't worry. So long
as several million Americans feel
like that about it, nobody's going
to draft anybody into a job.
Because they won't have to. And
besides, think the government will
come to realize that war production
would suffer instead of benefit.
After all, we're fighting for free la
Dor and free industry.
"And anyhow" l wound up, 81 see
by the papers that an awful lot of
workers are going into war plants
voluntarily.
IF the government will only tell
us the honest truth about how the
war is going. l don't think there'll
be any need to talk about a National
Service Actor drafting workers
into jobs"

Friendly restaurant enjoyed a
popular local quiz program prepar-
ed by Charles Lowrimore, program
director for this month. The pro-
gram was presented by Rev. C. C.

gram director. Using past pro-
grams as a basis. the questions
were asked much in the manner
of the radio program. 1.-The Quiz
Kids"
The question was first asked
then the member of the club know
ing the answer would raise his
hand. The first hand raised got
first chance to answer and some
of the questions aroused a bit of ri
valry among members. 1t was
interesting to note the different re-
actions several members received
from previous speakers at the club,
and at times it was rather difficult
to decide just which of the mem
bers answered the question most
correctly.
President Ranald Stewart called
for the introduction of guests and
acknowledged the presence of B. H..
Pridgeon of the Durham Exchange
club and Photographers Mate Sec
ond Class William H. Martin.
The prize for the quiz program
was won by R. A. Dunlea.
