The Home Front Is
All Important In
Winning This War
Victory Is Going To Cost the
Home Front Plenty and
Many Sacrifices
Washington?This war is going to
be won on the home front. The home
front is all-important in total war.
The home front saved Britain after
Dunkerque; it was to the home front
?to the betrayed and deluded peo
ple of Germany?that Hitler address
ed himself with between-the-lines
hysteria last week-end.
We Americans are all-out for vic
tory on this front. We're all of us
determined to keep the raw mater
ials for victory flowing into our in
dustrial plants and the finished wea
pons of war streaming from these
plants to the fighting zones until
Adolf is in the ashcan, and Japan
on the junkheap, and the poor, mis
guided Italians are ready to dunk II
Duce in the Tiber.
Of course, every victory has its
price. Right now we can begin to see
clearly what victory is going to cost
the home front ,and it's plenty, al
though a small sum to pay for such
values as liberty, and the right to
pursue happiness and work for a de
cent sort of world.
Victory is going to cost some man
ufacturers their business, for the
duration, as metals are diverted from
?let's say new pots and pans ? to
guns and tanks. Victory is going to
mean virtual conscription of hun
dreds of industries; grief to manage
ment and distress to workers as they
shift from the uses of peace to the
uses of war.
In the home itself, the price of
victory will include increasingly
drastic rationing. Sugar and tires
were just starters. We can look for
ward to a time when a new radio
may be just as hard to come by as a
new car. Scarcity of materials need
ed for Army and Navy and Lend
Lease is going to combine with scar
city of industrial facilities?as more
and more factories are drafted into
the war effort to change our lives
tremendously. The needs of Army
and Navy are going to affect the
styling of our clothes, as well as our
diets We know we may count on
the new Price Control Act to oper
ate, along with rationing, in the di
rection of fair prices. But we also
khow that the farm price provisions
of the act may lead to an increase in !
the cost of foodstuffs.
Almost all the trends developer
during the past week have direr
bearing on the home. There's a wa

warning of stringent rationing to
come, points the direction in which
we're headed. WPB is questioning
10,000 manufacturers to find out just
how much minimum civilian produc
tion they must maintain along with
maximum military production.
Such things foreshadow change,
and change we will have?change in
the familiar contents of the kitchen
shelves, in the contents of our closets
and bureau drawers, in our living
We're going to see a lot less of
the tin can, which is going through
this war primarily as a container of
meat and vegetables. Already WPB
has halved the amount of tin which
may be used in cans for baking pow
der. beer, biscuits, candy, cereals, |
flour, chocolate and cocoa, dog food,
spices, condiments, petroleum prod-1
ucts, tobacco.
There's been a lot of beer poured
into tins. In 1941 beer cans consum
ed 1.600 tons of scarce tin ? more
than was used to can any vegetable
except tomatoes . . . Along with the
cans. WPB is drafting a part of their
contents, plans an order withhold
ing a percentage of the 1942 fruit I
and vegetable pack as a reserve for |
the armed forces and Lend-Lease .
Sales of sugar may be limited to
three-quarters of a pound per per- ]
son per week . . . That's enough .
There'll probably be enough of the
commoner spices, too?except cinna
mon We've more than two years
supply of East Indian pepper in the
warehouses . . . WPB found it pos
sible to relax restrictions on fats and
oils A break for makers and us
ers of salad oils, shortening, lard,
soaps, paint.
Women's styles probably will be
altered by the need to conserve all
kinds of cloth, chances are we're in
for a period of slim silhouettes and
short skirts. But it looks as though
the foundations are safe, anyway . .
WPB's rubber branch is going to
make a limited amount of crude rub
ber available for foundation gar
ments, girdles, corsets . . Manufac
turers will conserve by design
changes, partial substitutions.
As for coats and dresses, members
of the women's coat and suit indus
try have ussured WPB that women
will be well-styled and warmly clad
"whatever amount of woul the Gov
ernment gives us , . ." Plan is to
blend used and reworked wool with
cotton, rayon and virgin wool . .
There II be more rayon stockings ".
Silk stocks are virtually used up, |
n.u.it of tin nylon supply will am
be needed for military purposes.
Women and the work of war:
(1) WPB doesn't want "a broad]
wave of knitting that will consume
millions of pounds of wool needed
for more essential purposes."
It does want women to knit sweat
ers when commanding officers have
asked for them To be sure, ask the
Red Cross.

Monoxide Gas Kills
Chicks In Brooder
"Keep 'nil laying" is the poultry
farmer's adaptation of thr famous
war-time slogans of today. C. F. Par
rish, Extension poultryman of N. C.
State College, says, "to keep 'em lay
ing, we must keep 'em living."
He reports that thousands of baby
chicks are killed in brooder bouses
of North Carolina every year by car
bon monoxide (the gas that kills mo
torists who start their autos in closed
garages).
Enough of the deadly gas may ac
cumulate in a poorly-ventilated
KiymiHit hi.use, heated by A W0Q<1*
coal or oil-burning stove, to kill ev
cry baby chick in a short time.
"Protecting chicks from death by j
carbon monoxide.is more important
this year than ever before," Parrish
declared, "because of war needs for
eggs and poultry."
Carbon monoxide chick losses arc
?often highest on cold, stormy nights,
when windows and ventilators are
closed to protect the birds from cold
and dampness As the burning flame
in the brooder stove consumes oxy
gen, combustion becomes less com

carbon monoxide fumes Soot col
lects, increasing production of the
deadly gas.
At first the chicks become uneasy,
