A friend of mine who was out
of work for many months during
the depression, and supported his
family during that time on the
small allotment available through
unemployment insurance, says that
experience was one of the most
valuable he ever had For it showed
him that he could exist, if it ever
became necessary again, on an
amount of money far smaller than
he hadever thought possible. That
experience, he says, gave him
feeling of security and independ-
ence which he never would have
had without learning how little
money it takes to buy the real es-
sentials of life.
Today we are all learning that
lesson to some extent. We will
probably store it away in a remote
corner of our minds when the post
war spending spree gets under
way. but we will find saticfaction
in the memory of how many things
we can get along without if circum-
stances force us to economize.

Today and Tomorrow
conversation
BY DON ROBERTSON

HABITS conversation
Speaking of reconversion, it will
be interesting to see, after the war,
how long it will take the average
person to "reconvert" his living
habits to the eXtravagant and per-
haps wasteful standards of prewar
days.
All of us have learned a lot about
conservation during the last three
years. We have learned that an
automobile can go almost twice as
far on a gallon of gasoline if driven
at 80, instead of 60 miles per hour.
We have been taught that tires can
be made to last for thousands of
extra miles if we keep the speed
down, use brakes less, and shift the
tires around every 5000 miles. And
we have found that, with proper
care, we can increase the life span
of the family car by several years.
Those lessons about automobile
conservation are just an example of
the education in economy which
we have been given all along the
line. We have been taught how to
heat our homes with less fuel We
have learned a lot about food re-
quirements and are now we'll aware
of the fact that we can keep health
y on a much more restricted diet.
than we used to consider essential.
And we have learned how to get
along very comfortably with less
meat, less sugar, less coffee, less
ice cream, less cooking utensils,
fewer tools, less paper, less cigar
cites and many many less gadgets.
Except for the fact that pric-
es have risen considerably, all
this has taught us how to live
comfortably on less money.
At the beginning of the war it
seemed like minor revolution in
advertising when manufacturers
suddenly started spending good ad-
vertising money to tell us how to
get along with a smaller supply of
their products. To most Americans
advertising has always been consid-
cred the heart and soul of high
pressure selling and 1t was rather
a shock to see this sales tool be-
ing used to influence us to please
buy less"
Although we have become used
to such advertising now, l feel that
manufacturers showed considerable
business courage to substitute a
conservation appeal for a sales ap
peal. For all of them know that
when the war is over they will want
to sell all they can and these les
sons in conservation might be a
serious barrier to maximum sales.
If man learns how to go twice
as far on a gallon of gasoline, it is
conceivable that he might continue
to remember and apply that les
son when gasoline is available in
abundance.
But most all manufacturers
probably realize that the aver
age American doesn't like con-
serVation and that most of us
will quickly revert to our old

your idea of a wonderful time,
TAKE ME HOME.
Every now and then, those on
Main Street who still find time to
read, will come across an arrest
ing thought one that strikes
a responsive cord because of a
truth it presents from viewpoint
they had not considered Such
a sentence met the eyes of Main
Street reader from the pages of a
magazine recently The article
was on Human Personality and the
desire each has to express those
secret yearnings within himself to-
ward better things and the BATTLE
ment that is his when other men
(as they usually do) fail to recog-
niZe the motives upon which his
acts are based There is scarce
a man among us who does not long
for understanding, or to find one,
whom HE may truly understand.
This cannot happen with per-
sons who are widely different, for
there is no foundation upon which
to base their viewpoints when
we say we understand someone, we
generally mean we have found our
selves in that person" .. 1t is
thought to ponder.
See you next week, on Main
Street - adios.

Animals, and sometimes just

them there pack rats. fer instance,

years supply of mesquite beans in
an unused shack on the desert,
