PENNSYLVANIA members Of
Veterans of Foreign Wars have
announced that they will stage q
bnvers' strike unless rent ano
nrice controls are restored.
The housewives Of America
aren't organized - yet, individ-
ually. many of them are plan
ming to do exactly the same thing.
But they don't regard their con-
templated action as being any
thing nearly so dramatic as a
strike.
They are simply saying to their
families: I'VE aren't going to buy
anything we don't absolutely have
to have while prices are inflated.
That isn't a strike. It's simply
self preservation, so far as fam
lilies on fixed salaries are concern
ed.
It is the only possible w y
many thousands of families will
be able to survive a period of Sc
rious initiation without using up
their savings or going into debt.
Il has already been reported
that women are once again begin
ming TO shop around, to 60 from
store TO store comparing quality
and prices. instead of grabbing
greedilv the first thing they see,
NO matter how inflated the price.
And this shopping thrift is
bound TO become more earnest
and widespread.
