Certain Jobs For Women "We have increased the production of children‘s underwear so that we now make 145% of our normal production," Mr. Gordon exâ€" plained, "Canada is well served with children‘s underwear and no genuine case of hardship should arise. We are producing all that can be produced." Mr. Gordon said, "There are certain jobs women can do much better than men in our social structure, our political life, our home front. Women will find in the post war world, endless chances to make a real contribution to a better and more prosperous Canada which can set an example for the rest of the world." Commenting on the shortage of children‘s underwear, Mr. Gorâ€" don made it clear that Canadians are getting all the children‘s underâ€" wear it is possible to produce in this country. "There is an overall shortage of textiles in all forms of fabrics and yarns," he continued. "Consumption in wartime is terrific. It is not due to a shortage of cotton and wool that we cannot make more underwear. We have ample supplies of raw cotton, but a shortage of plants to manufacture it and a shortage of skilled labor." %I|Ill]lI[lll.lIII-llll-lIIIIII]IIlllllIllll1hIIiH!lIIIIIIllllllIlIIIIIllllIIIIIIIIIII-llllI!llll\lillllllllilllfll_fl i According to a beauty magazine Australian women are now arâ€" ranging their hair in a manner that makes hats unnecessary. The reaâ€" son is that they do not wish to use their clothing ration coupons for hats. So the hat trade languishes while the hairâ€"dressing parlors are crowded. One of the most popular coiffures is one in which a very high pompadour is stuffed with cotton. Hairâ€"dos are heavily lacquered and the hair is left uncombed for three to seven days until the customer returns to the shop to have her hair reâ€"combed and reâ€"lacquered. There are long bobs as well as a more abbreviated style known as "Curly Cut." There is also a vogue for bleached hair. But the vogue of vogues is for going without a hat. The physical measurements of a beauty queen like the Venus de Milo are a trifle different from those required by women street car and bus operators, according to the employment offices of several transporâ€" tation companies. There is a wide range in height for drivers. Women as tall as five foot ten and no taller than five feet four are acceptable. Even those who are only five feet two will do if the driver‘s seat is adâ€" justable, The age limits are 23 and 40 and the weight limits are 120 to 150 pounds. Women smaller than 120 are not likely to have sufficient muscular strength and thoge bulkier than 150 may take up too much room. The ideal woman street car or bus driver must be at least strong enough to work eight hours a day continuously. Glamour is not conâ€" sidered an asset, but the women, say street railway executives, should be neat and cheerful, with an unruffled disposition. "If troops are in danger of becoming short of anythingâ€"muniâ€" tions, textiles, footwear, we on the home front must be prepared to give them the goods," declared Donald Gordon, Prices Board Chairman, speaking at a conference of Consumer Branch representatives from Central Ontario last week. ‘ Hats Are Unnecessary Glamour Not Needed "The cost of the invasion in terms of supply and equipment has been much higher than any of us deemed possible," Mr. Gordon said. "We should keep in mind that for the coming winter civilian economy must take up the slack. We must take away even necessary civilian supplies which may be needed for the invasion forces because the war is not over by any means." There‘s no end to the queer things the teenâ€"agers will think up. The latest fad of the bobby soxers is to put nail polish on the frames of eyeâ€"glasses. A local mother found that out when her pail polish was unaccountably vanishing. (The high school girls will use all the colors of the rainbow if they can get them, but the extremists amongst them prefer a vivid St. Patrick‘s Day shade of green. Red is popular and some find a middle path by coloring the eyeâ€"glass rims, half red and half green. What‘s good enough for grandma, evidently is what kept her waist a mere 17 inches. Home planners are sincere, no doubt, with public service at heart, but one housewife is shouting please, please, please don‘t save the labor in my devices. She likes it the hard way, it keeps her thin. Referring to a suggestion that knobs on upper cabinet drawers be shifted to the bottom of the drawer and the knobs on the bottom drawers be raised to the top of the drawer to eliminate stoopâ€" ing, she says no. She, in her own kitchen, has raised the knobs on the top drawers and lowered the knobs on the bottom drawers, so that she will have to stretch and bend.© Perhaps she‘s right. Anyway, it wears us to a lath even thinking about it. éfl.fll\lllll.HHllIllIIlIl-HHIllll-llllIHHl![!|IHH-lIII.IlllIHII!U"-llll-||||.iH[IIiI!IIlIlIIIHlH[IIIII]IIlg Flaming Youth U.S. soldiers in Britain, even more famous than Canadians for whirlwind courtships, often address English girls as "Sugar." Beforé the war, the average per capita consumption of sugar in the British Isles was about 104 pounds. Now it is only 26 pounds per person anâ€" nually, a low figure that forbids home preserving. The ration, howâ€" ever, is the same as here, oneâ€"half pound per week. U.S. soldiers are exempt from his sugar privation. They are abundantly supplied with ice cream, and ice cream demands sugar. The British population is not given ice cream, and not being accustomed to it, no doubt does not miss it. The British girls who feeds a U.S. soldier what is called "taffy" forâ€" gets that his sugar ration is greater than her own.
