Signal LOW PRICED ATTLEIS CLOTHING TO BE BACK SOON By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—What's caused the virtual disappearance of inexpensive clothing from store shelves and prompted the govern- ment to drastic steps to replenish rlhv supply? The outfitting of more than 111,000,000 s°rvice men and WO~ I'men means that, regardless of gov- ernment programs, the supply of | lowcost materials will remain tight | while the fighting continues. But relatively little of e size- | able quantity of material left over ' has been goirg into low-priced gar- | ments. More Profits The big reason: more profit in the higher price lines of clothing That is why the War Production Board had to order mills and the | clothing industry to earmark about 175 per cent of ajl civilian fabrics | for essential low-cost garments. | That is why the Office of Price | Administration is preparing a regu- jlanon to will maka it less profitable | to deal in so-called luxury clothing. At the same time the regulation is CROSSING UNDER NAZI FIRE e’ ham Lincoln said, must be kep! in force if our type of government would survive | He stated that if it were not IOI" |the service of owr men and women, | !Amg. canism would be dead today.| | However, he warned against too | much regimentation a great |danger to the Democratic way of 11"{‘ He said the state was not the | ! best instructor of youth, but that parents and the American home were. Briefly outlining the background of the Americanism movement, he said it did not spring from huge populations nor in the big cities, but came from the rural districts. However, it was strong enough to extend its blessings into the cities. Toward the close of his speech he warned that elected people should remain “servants of the people—not masters.

The retail storekeeper hasn't been able to sell what wasn't being pro- duced. But again, there has been more profit in costlier lines, and retailers have had little incentive to ‘plug’ fér inéxpensive garments. > MANY SERVICEMEN ARE GUESTS OF ROTARY AT LUNCH R. E. Roberison Gives Main Address on American- ism Today Noon A large crowd of Juneau and Douglas servicemen attended the weekly Rotary Club luncheon held in the Baranof Hotel Gold Room at noon today. The program was especially planned in their honor, with R. E. Robertson giving the main address. His subject was “Americanism.” The program opened with Bob Waugh, accompanied on the piano by his father, Herb Waugh, singing “The Lord's Prayer.” Then for a short while, Rotary business was discussed, which included final ar- rangements for the Lion<Rotary quiz Thursday night. ) | Howard Stabler, Juneau Attorney, introduced 'the servicemen, each New Construction and Remodeling | Headbuarters tonight. 1t tels of the being designed to give a fair return standing when his name’ was read Lorin Zenger and Goy T.
