: In his address to the Timntins Retail Merchants‘ Association at their banquet in the Empire hotel on Tuesday evening, Mr. D. M. LeBourdais, assisâ€" tant director of retgil"@¢Aiministration in the Warâ€" time Trade and Prices Board, made it plain that some of the tall stories about the changes planned in men‘s clothing had little foundation in fact. Somée changes would be necessary to save cloth Hnd fo keep prices within the prescribed limits. *be changes, however,, would not be nearly so drastic as some pretended to believe. In a word, ti'ne fundamental idea would be to do away with _ _The American humorist who claimed that every â€" thing had its compensations spoke truth in jest. When all his shirts came back from the laundry with their tails torn off, he could even see the compensationâ€"the tails were all nicely laundered (and charged for) as pocket handkerchiefs. Men may even find compensation in the lurid tales told about the drastic changes that are supposed to be made in men‘s clothing in the very near future. Coats are to be without lapels ; there are to be no flaps to hide the pockets; cuffs are to be cut from All trousers; no matter how much of a kneeâ€"bagger man miay be he must be content with one pair of ants to a suit; and irrespective of how big or wabbly a fellow‘s stomach may be, there are to be no vests. These were some of the newspaper étories about the new clothes for men. The nat-! ural inference is that another $3,000,000 plebiscite ivill be taken before any government will dare to say much about what is going to happen to the few clothes the average fashionable woman may. wear. ross may not be able to produce individual cases‘ that:will cquaal that of Mrs. Bruce, of Toronto.

In ary event, it may well be said with pride that the work of each of' the bhree Red Cross Society branches in this area on the whole represents a genuine allâ€"out war efâ€" fort,..It is because of this "allâ€"out" effort, not only in this area, but all through Canada, that never yet has any emergency, no matter how sudden or unexpected found the Red Cross effort "too little or too late." If every branch of the war effort had l achieved the same wellâ€"earned success as the Red! Cross, Canada would know by thrilling experience| what an "allâ€"out effort" really means. | "As a matter of fact this shlpment for the year represent the workâ€"the allâ€"out effortâ€"of one womanâ€"Mrs. Bruce, 59 Spender avenue, Toronto. As the Red Cross News Bulletin says, ‘"‘The list of her contributions rivals im scope the work of a whole branch." The News Bulletin also notes that all the 142 articles donated were the products of her own nimble fingers and generous heart. The record of Mrs. Bruce certainly may be taken as an inspiring example of what is meant by an "allâ€"out war effort."

I 4% The inside story of the Red Cross is the recordi’ of tens of thousands of men and women giving | allâ€"out effort for the war. The Red Cross effort isi not simply a matter of doing everything that is | askedâ€"it is a matter of doing the needed things| before they are requestedâ€"and doing more than| the demand expects. ’ It is not necessary, however,. to go across theg seas to find an ailâ€"out war effort. The Canadian | Red Cross from the very opening of the war gave’ an allâ€"out effort. Not only did it meet all calls, | but it seemed to anticipate them and when thef call did come the Red Cross was ready and willing and able to meet the ermiorgency, no matter how unexpected it might be. Some people may ask, "What is this Allâ€"Out War Effort that is mentioned so often these days?" One answer might be simply to look at Britain. Its war effort is assuredly an allâ€"out one. The British people are risking all, giving all, to win the war. From every side there are calls upon their resources, their manâ€"power, their womanâ€"power, and every call is met cheerfully and completely.

PaAaCE PpPotP BACK TO THE SIMPLER LIFE Che Yorrupine Advanre â€" N ALLâ€"OUT WAR EFFORT o O"O~~O-mm, March 12th, 1942 ~JUuivt CUIIQ pQillliC I1€CCOSSILY QI The moment is for a national government not for a government by a part of a party. This part of a part of a party is not free itself. It also is the victim of the plan un der which it is working. The public is earnestly and wholeheartedly anxious to do anything and everything to create an allâ€"out war effort in every line from financing to gasoline rationing. The public is forgettig all differences and disputes and is eager to join in allâ€"out effort. There can be no allâ€"out effort, however, with only a part of a part of a party at the helm. \_In Timmins there appear to be a number of cases where effort to observe the spirit of the goyvâ€" ‘ernment‘s requests in regard to the saving of "gasoline promises to work unnecessary hardship. |Some months ago it was urged that groups of men working at the mines and using individual cars should combine, four or five travelling to and from work in the one car. This meant a material savâ€" ing in the use of gasoline over the plan of each individual using his own car. Some men sold their cars to help along this plan. The new ration plan however, leaves these men in difficult position. The man who takes several of his fellows to work in his own car has no consideration on the ration card. Of course, where neighbours or friends have a group of cars, the several cars may be used alâ€" ternately, each car having its ration book. This is an awkward and unsatisfactory plan and, of course, does not meet the needs of the cases where cars were sold in patriotic effort to help relieve the gasoline situation. There is also the conservation of tires and other material to be considered. The fewer cars in use the better. What is really â€" needed is to @allow the various departments conâ€" cerned to work out these questions without politiâ€" cal interference. In some departments this appears to have been done with satisfactory results. Of course the prime necessity of the moment is for *4 _ By dropping only the unnecessary frills and purâ€" | poseless ornamentation, true economy will be acâ€" rdghieved. The public is ready to do anything that 8| will aid the war effoft, or that directly or indirâ€" ‘Slectly will speed the victory or make the national ‘"l economy more convenient or secure. Most men are J='Slplarming to wear out their old clothes, and the new f regulations will encourage this plan. The thoughts and theories in regard to men‘s clothing apply with equal force to other lines. It is true that some inconvenience is sure to arise and some people will |be disappointed in the new models as they were *fin regard to the older styles. ‘There seams to be every reason to believe, however, that the new ’styles will mean only inconsequential changes. °! Indeed the chances all appear to be thiat the war. 8 j is going to result in the matter of men‘s clothes, as | in the case of other lines, simpler models that will l "have all the beauty of the old lines, but without‘ } n J ' unnecéessary frills or fads. In other words one reâ€" sult of the war is the iforcing back of the clock to simpler daysâ€"days that were no less happy beâ€"| cause they lacked the ornamentation that served | (,no logical purposes. There will be compensation | for all if the simpler days return in some material measure, and men centre their affections on 'clothing that is {designed for comfort iand good wear and all the other virtues of the generations :'that lived in less complicated times. ' * tiecs, that necessary regulations frequently develop into senseless and useless impositions, at least in part. The gasoline rationing may be taken as an example. Elsewhere in ithis issue reference is made to a Toronto case where a patriotie woman has been penalized for her patriotism, while anâ€" other woman, who, with her family, appeared to think only of fooling the law, has the decided and improper advantage. The one woman sold a big car and purchased a smaller one in the honest effort to conserve gas. ~Her reward is a gasoline ration that will not meet the honest needs of the case,. Another woman bought several new cars for the use of her daughters. The result is that this woman by alternating the use of the cars has a gasoline ration, or a group of gasoline rations that defeats all the purposes of the regulations. So anxious are the people in general to do anyâ€" thing and everything for the war effort and to bear anything in the same good cause, and so occuâ€" pied are the government heads in their petty poliâ€" i It may be said in passing that the authoritie: are showing good sense in avoiding drastic changes fm standard styles of clothing for men. There are renough suits now manufactured to clothe the men of Canada for several years if all these finished articles are put to use. The whole purpose of the regulations would be broken if the result were to be the discarding of all the suits that are now in style. Instead of th;at the best idea would be to encourage the plan of wearing out the men‘s clothâ€" ing that is now available in homes and stores. Mr. Le Bourdais, mentioned the fact that the average man did not enjoy being too much out of fashion. If the new style of clothing is not too distinct from present modes, the most economlcal result will be attained unnecessary frills and useless ornamentation. As examples, he quoted the elimination of cuffts on trousers, the doing away with the doubleâ€"breasted coat, the dropping of buttons from sleeves, and aumlar changes that would hardly be noticed or missed.. Mr. Le Bourdais pointed out that only a. few years ago there were no cuffs on trousers, andl that the buttons on the cuffs of coats served no useful purpose. Another change that he menâ€" tioned was the elimination of linings from men‘s hats and he suggested that few men knew whethet their hats were lined or not, so they would miss little if the linings were omitted. {+ASOLINE RATIONING ssing that the authorities n avoiding drastic changes thing for men.

Some further credit is given this false idea by suggesting that the Germans make a special point of attacking Red Cross shipping. That would be in keeping with the conâ€" temptible inhuman ideas of the Nazis, but it is not too.much to say that the Red Cross has also typical characterâ€" isticsâ€"one of which is that the work, whatever it may be, undertaken by the Red Cross is invariably well done and successfully carried jout. It may be true to type that the Germans would centre on attack on Red Cross shipâ€" ping but it is equally typical that the Red Cross should see to it that the Nazi game should not succeed. The fact, of course, ,is that few Red Cross shipments are lost. Those in Canada working so hard making necessities and comforts for those overseas have no reason to be dismayed or discourâ€" aged. The results of their labours of love are reaching overseas all right and are not only being appreciated but they are doing a work that will be rememâ€" bered for ever in the history of civiliâ€" zation.
