Rationing Gives Wives New
Ways To Harness Husbands
BT RUTH MILLETT
An Iowa farm wife reported to
state OPA headquarters that her
husband was using his automobile
gas coupons, his tractor coupons,
and even the gasoline allotted to
her for her washing machine \o go
calling on his girl friend. The wife
wanted OPA to put a stop to it.
It looks as though war ime ra
tioning has given wives a new way
of controlling philandering hus
bands—because the OPA office
turned the matter over to the hus
band’s local rationing board.
If the board doesn’t do anything
about it the wife could take mat
ters in her own hand.
In these days of rationing she
could keep her husband home just t
by getting hold of all the gas cou- s
pons and hiding them in a fiice, ’
safe plac£ _
OUT-SMART HER (
Or she might even keep her man (
home by hiding his shoes. 4
Or if he weren’t doing his share
of the farm work and he happened
to be of draft age she might con
vince his draft board she could
run the arm without his help. |
In wartime there are lots of ®
ways a wife can keep a husband *
from running around besides fol- *
lowing the advice of beauty ad- J
visors to out-shine and out-charm c
the other woman. With all the v
rationing and regulations it ought
to be easy for a wife to out-smart j
the other woman.

ASPHALT MACHINE
PRIORITY RECEIVED
After four years of waiting, the
City of Wilmington is going to have
a bituminous asphalt paving
machine, City Engineer J. A.
Loughlin revealed Wednesday.
On October 9. the War Produc
tion board approved a priority rat
ing of AA-3, permitting the city to
purchase this vitally needed ma
chinery.
“We have reason to believe we
wiU have no trouble getting the
paver. We will advertise for bids
yery soon,” Loughlin declared.
The machine will cost an esti
mated $6,715, money that has al
ready been appropriated.
The Engineering department has
been operating all this time with
out benefit of its owm paving ma
rvtiino T.piipVilin nhsprvpd.
“We have been renting a ma
chine for our work, and have had
to schedule our plans according to
the desires of the owner. It has
tield up much of our work,” he
iaid.
City ownership will of course re
sult in great savings.
Wilmington operates its own as
phalt plant. This is a project that
was approved at the same time
the paver was sanctioned, four
years ago.

Curtailment Expected
For Wave Recruiting
At the present rate of enlistment,
If is anticipated that Wave recruit
ing will be greatly curtailed within
tfce next few weeks, it was an
nounced yesterday by Jean Butler,
of the local Navy recruiting sta
tion, who has just returned from
a state recruiters’ meeting in Ra
leigh.
Miss Butler also announced that
the bill authorizing Waves 'o serve
outside the continental limits of
the United States in the American
area and the territories of Haavaii
and Alaska, has been passed by
Congress.
She stated that any girls in the
Wilmington area who are interest
ed in enlisting should do so now
while vacancies still exist.
The need for Waves today is just
as great as ever, she said, but
the monthly enlistment quota of
500 for the nation is expected to
be sufficient for replacements and
for future Navy requirements.
Miss Butler will be in the local
ofice in the postofice only until
the end of October.
You’ll marvel bow quickly

protective pads relieve pain
