SAVE AND SALVAGE So you want to know how you ean help your country win the war? We're going to tell you. Tomorrow and the next day, a drive to collect waste materials will be launched in Juneau. This is your chance to really do something constructive toward winning the war 4 factories are in want of waste They need tons and tons of waste paper, old rags, scrap metals, old rubber. Scrap rubber makes new rubber for our motorized forces, for planes, tanks and battleships, and for essential civ- ilian needs. Scrap metals makes the steel, brass, copper, lead and other metals for the guns, planes, tanks and ships we need to fight this war. Old rags make needed materials for emergency buildings, wip- ing rags for industries, and reworked textiles. Waste paper makes new rd to ship munitions, clothi d food for ca’s fighting men over seas Amer your di America’s war materials. Amer really needs these waste materials— arded v the collection, sort, the majerigls .at the war house, and with the’heéip of othér organizations, see that it is pyt back into the channels of trade. And these chanpels of trade will see to it that more | tanks, planes, guns and ammunition are produced. | That’s what we need to win this war. That, is how ‘_vou can help, LOSING OUR PANTS The War Production Board has just come out with the new war styles for clothing. | “Victory” suit will be sans lapels, cuffs, patch pock- ets, gussets in the back, ete.. new suits for men will have only one pair of pants. It seems to us that if the WPB is interested in really conserving vital war ingterials, to take away our extra pair of pants is going at it the wrong way. When two-pants suits came in, wasn’t the reason |given that the extra pair would keep us from throwing away our coats before they were worn out? it would be more logical to keep the two pairs of pants. to “freeze the existing silhouette” of women's clothes. That megns that there will be no more drastic changes in style for the time being. But we heard somewhere the other day that the “existing silhouette” is solely the ecreature of foun- ,dation garments that contain rubber. So how are the women going to maintain their existing sil- houettes if the rubber is taken away from them. | Something’s got to give, and it may be the WPB. Or at least a worn-out girdle. Cincinnati Prepares (Cincinnati Enquirer) After a longish perfod of discussion and inac- tion, the machinery of civilian defense in Cincinnati is beginning to roll. We still are far behind many American cities, even behind many which are not as near a seacoast as Cincinnati. But we have be- gun to show signs of real activity. And it is intel- ligently planned activity. Any defense mechanism which depends on un- paid volunteer effort for its personnel will have ser- ious shortcomings. But it would be utterly imprac- tical to search for any other methot. of protection against air raids and their train of fires, injuries, and transportation interruptions. Most of us stil have the lingering feeling that | Cincinnati never will be singled out for alr bombard- {ment. This, despite the universal recognition that {this is one of a few key cities peculiarly vital to the | long-range production program of the national de- | fense effort. But to suppose air raids improbable is ‘\no excuse whatever for neglecting civilian defense. ! The latest | Mofe important, the!
