Almost Impossible to Improve Principles of Industrial Clothing Rationing
The Minister of Trade and Customs Senator Keane said it would be nearly impossible to improve the principles behind industrial clothing rationing. He praised the Rationing Commission for basing its scheme on equality, dividing clothes into civilian and industrial groups, with uniform coupon values tied to wear. He noted workers receive equal consideration, as uniforms and working clothes are counted toward overall wear, preventing real advantages.

How I Bought War Bond describes a plan where two workers wear different uniforms to show equal wear value, reducing coupon use and rationing. It calls for readers to submit letters on cutting household expenses to buy war bonds, offering publication and nationwide publicity for valuable ideas.
