Don't Blame War for Courtesy Lack in Wartime Life
The piece argues war does not excuse poor service or incivility. It urges individuals to stop blaming the war for overwork, late deliveries, dirty tables, and rude conduct. Readers should demand better personal responsibility and courtesy despite wartime conditions. It calls for honesty about fault and respect for others in daily life.
Wartime vogue for the dishpan in home care
The piece notes dishpans gain popularity during conservation drives. It advises washing rules to save water: scrape well, wash glassware first, rinse in clean hot water, and stack dishes orderly. Emphasizes uncluttered countertops, ready rinsing pan, and fresh towels for efficiency.

War brides face thrift era with stock shortages
War brides adopt a hopeless chest mindset as shortages tighten. Hope chests shrink to plastic trays and cotton linens, with rayon gowns and prewar style veils. Camouflage nets replace race, dinnerware shifts to flame proof glassware, and can openers, paper goods, and wicker items grow scarce. Metals like sterling dip, while plastics rise, watches arrive from Switzerland, and local supply dwindles amid wartime rationing.
