OPA to regulate beauty costs and war-time jobs in War Era clips
The piece mocks federal price controls as applied to cosmetics while praising beauty as morale fuel. It notes Chester Bowles drafting an amendment to empower the OPA over facial products and services, with humorous verse and references to other wartime controls. A fireman’s side job during the war draws critique, suggesting safety-ethics concerns if police or fire services pivot to factory work.

It targets insects resting above and shoots to wet them so they fall into the water where the fish feeds. The shot consists of only a few drops but can knock prey from its perch.
