I Am Going to
and I
Do Your
Shopping
Early
in the
Day
The United States Govern
ment, through the National
Council fnr T,nffnsp Vina
fnade an urgent request that
the public do their shopping
"Early in the Month" and
"Earlv in the Dav." in order
that in December man-nower
may -be conserved for nation
al purposes.
Bv some of thp women's
clubs it has bepn advocated
to "Do shopping between the
hours of. 10 and 5 o'clock, to
conserve light, fuel and man
power." To this we Would npnrtilv
agree,, if a movement of this
sort was of a concerted na
ture.
But. while it is. not. a mm.
mon practice, let us observe
the reauest of the fnvfmnmnf
to "ShoD earlv in the Month"
and "Early in the Day," that
I
:nere may be Christmas as
isual for evervbodv and that
business may go on as usual.
All who patriotically heed
the government's request will
be greatly rewarded in wider
choice, leisurely selection and
more expert service.
