Whatever your work, don’t let poor vision “sabo-
tage” your effors. Maximum vision can be yours with
the aid of corrective lenses.

Remember .. . Flexform garments fit better! Bust,
waist and hip measurements will be the same as before
cleaning, the skirt will hang beautifully, and the hem
line will be absolutely level.
This new equipment enables us to return your gar-
ments shaped exactly to the original measurements.
Flexform Dress Shaping Service is unequalled for
giving your favorite frock those soft, liquid lines that
are so flattering to yours, and this additional service
costs you no more.
Incidentally, the Flexform can almost always re-
store badly shrunken or misshapen dresses to their
original beauty. If you have a “problem” dress, let us
renew its fit and appearance for you.

We offer you the kind of painstaking efficiency that c
means more accurate vision, the kind of materals that I
I means lasting quality, and the kind of capable fitting
that means better appearance. Come in today and let
strength to the battalions of lib-
erty and to help in some measure
the hungry, uprooted millions of
the earth.
"‘If one thing is sure in this
war it is that food is going to
count as a weapon for victory.
"‘We have got to have an econ-
omy of food. I ask most urgently
that every Defense Council and
every block leader get squarely be-
hind the voluntary meat rationing-
campaign, so that every housewife
will know the importance it holds
for our success in the bitter strug-
gle ahead. Bring the war into the
American kitchen and take the
kitchen straight into the war, so
that, by planning, saving and serv-
ing, every American can make this
direct contribution to the winning
of the war. This is a challenge that
every block leader can accept, a
job in which prompt action will
bring an immediate response from
every community in the nation.”

When Rip Van Winkle woke up and wandered back to the old home town,
he was neither recognized nor remembered. He found his wife gone,
his daughter married, his native village remodeled, and America inde-
pendent. He had slept clear through the Revolution. Nevertheless, Rip
was a lucky man, because we’d never have known about him to this day
if Washington Irving hadn’t written him up. Any industry that is con-
templating hibernation from advertising during World War II might
well consider the plight in which Rip found himself. For after this war
even a Washington Irving—if you could find one__might not be able
to bring back into public favor a once popular trade name ... It ALWAYS
pays to advertise.

The Post Office Department
now is starting the most gigantic
task in its history—the movement
of a deluge of Christmas parcels,
cards and letters while maintain-
ing the regular flow of millions of
pieces of mail daily to and from
our armed forces all over the
world.
Indications are that the volume
of Christmas mail will be the larg-
est on record. Already in Septem-
ber, latest month for which fig-
ures are available, retail sales had
reached a level second only to the
record month of December, 1941,
according to the Department of
Commerce. And sales are rising.
Such heavy purchases always
presage heavy mailings.
If thousands of our soldiers,
sailors, marines and civilian
friends are not to be disappointed
at Christmas time, the public must
co-operate by mailing earlier than
ever before and by addressing let-
ters and parcels properly. The best
efforts of the Post Office Depart-
ment alone cannot be enough, in
view of wartime difficulties faced
by the postal system. The public
must asisst.
About 25,000 experienced postal
workers already have been taken
by the war services. Arrangements
are under way to add thousands of
temporary personnel to postal
staffs, but this man power is hard
to find and heavily taxed by move-
ments of huge quantities of war
materials and personnel. Extra
trucks are almost impossible to ob-
tain. Winter weather, hampering
transportation, is beginning.
The free-mailing privilege
granted to members of the armed
forces has raised their mailings
some 30 per cent, it is estimated.
Expansion of those forces also is
adding rapidly to the postal bur-
den.
The deadline already is past for
mailing gifts to Army and- Navy
personnel overseas with assurance
that the parcels will arrive by
Christmas. The New York post of-
fice reports that in late October,
350,000 such parcels were handled
daily in that office alone.
The Post Office Department is
making strenuous efforts to avoid
such a terrific jam as it faced in
1918 under similar conditions, dur-
ing the First World War. It can
succeed in those efforts—and
: avoid many heartaches for its pa-
trons.—if the public will co-oper-
ate by mailing early.

San Antonio, Texas., Nov. 11.—
Two programs that civilians can
use as weapons to help win the
waa at home were announced for
the Eighth Region of Civilian De-
fense today by R. E. Smith, Re-
gional Director. Government ex-
perts cstimatethat these two pro-
grams, if fully sponsored by the
people, will be as effective in the
fight against the Axis on the home
front as Aircobras over Africa.
They include voluntary meat ra-
tioning and a new plan for all-out
civilian war services, called the
Block Plan.
In every city block, or similar
small geographical unit in this
country, civilian war services un-
der the Block Plan will be reor-
ganized on the basis of all-out
neighborhood participation. Thus,
programs like meat rationing will
be carried out by the simple pro-
cess of neighbors working together.
11 Block Leaders” will be appoint-
ed, as their name implies, for qual-
ities of leadership, to head unit
organizations which will carry out
civilian war services. These leaders
will see to it that every family in
their respective neighborhoods is
enlisted in the bigger, more effect-
ive civilian army that is planned.
James M. Landis, National ‘Di-
rector of the Office of Civilian
Defense, today issued a statement
showing how the Block Plan and
meat rationing will be used to-
gether :
"‘Block leaders will contribute
directly to our national war pro-
gram when they win the co-opera-
tion of their neighbors in the vol-
untary conservation of meat.
” Voluntary rationing of meat
should be clearly understood for
exactly what is—an immediate as
well as a longer range plan to ful-
fill the needs of our armed forces,
and, under lend lease contract,
those of our fighting allies.
"‘It should be made clear that
there is no shortage of meat in
this country. More meat is being
produced this year than ever be-
fore in our history but the de-
mands of war far exceed the de-
mantis of peace. We must supply
our civilian population, our army,
and, to a large extent, the armies
of our allies. We are asked to
limit ourselves .voluntarily to two
and one-half pounds of meat each
week for each adult; not much
less than the average American
eats at present, but representing
enough of a saving to assure fell
