@ermen‘s Association of Texas for
the exclusive use of its members,
gives step by step highlights of
Conservation Order L-41 — a digest
of what you can do. under last
November 1 amendments — during
this calendar year.
• ‘ There still is no limit on the
* amount of maintenance and re-
pair work which is allowed on
any type building. In fact, the
government urges maintenance
* and repair of all property.
D Maximum new construction or
remodeling permitted for a city re-
sidence, including garage, walk,
fences, etc., remains at $200, but
the work still is on a calendar-year
basis. For example, if 1200 were
spent on new construction on a
Chouse in December, a similar
amount can be spent this year. For
hotel or apartments (multiple, 6 or
more) the maximum is $1,000.
“Cost” is defined as the cost
of the whole construction job as
• estimated at the time of be-
ginning, except that the use of
used material or used fixtures
may be disregarded. The cost of
labor must be included, except
If labor is unpaid it may be dis-
regarded.
0 In excess of the $200 maximum
for city residences, permission is
necessary — approval through WPB
after application on given forms
with F. H. A., with the maximum
up to $10,000. However, few new
-applications are being granted —
in fact, almost none.
Maximum construction allowed
without WPB approval on the farm
— either agricultural buildings or
J. R. FIELDER
dwellings — is $1,000.
Churches, hospitals, colleges,
school children's playgrounds, etc.,
also are allowed up to $1,000 in new
construction.
Office, bank, story, laundry, gar-
age. restaurant, etc., are allowed
up to $200 new construction with-
out permission
A dwelling destroyed by act of
God or war after last July 1 may
be replaced, up to $5,000.
If immediate reconstruction is de-
termined essential by the U. S. de-
partment of agriculture, farm build-
ings damaged or destroyed by an
act of God may be replaced up to
a $5,000 limit.
Warehouse construction is allow-
ed to $1,000 cost. That also is the
maximum on new bridge construc-
tion.
"We are glad to figure with any
owners on their repair, mainten-
ance. remodeling or necessary new
construction,” said Mr. Fielder.

Expert Care Is Necessary for Flowing Locks
Of Teen-Agers Who Want That Sleek Look
Despite the shorter hair style
trends, the teen-age smoothies in-
sist on wearing their hair long and
flowing.
But if they really want to be the
‘smoothies” they aspire to be, they
will be sure their hair is' smooth
and sleek, as well as long, suggests
Mary Kniefl of the Mary Beauty
Shop.
This shoulder-length hair style of
the younger set needs hair shaping,
permanent waving, professional sty-
ling — despite the casual imprest
Mariner's Platter
Is Hickory Grill
Seafood Special
It doesn't take Lent to bring sea-
food into the feature spot on the
menu at Kyraston’s Hickory Grill.
A special every day is the Mar-
iner’s Flatter, which includes
French fried jumbo shrimp, fried
Chespeake oysters, tenderloin of
trout, French fried potatoes, rolls
and butter and drink. There is a
tangy tartar sauce to top off this
platter of seafood.
The specials running every day
at Hickory Gril? Include a chicken
dinner, featuring a half chicken,
pan fried and served on toast; a
turkey dinner with all the trim-
mings; the Chef’s Special, which is
spaghetti and meat balls, with Ita-
lian sauce, and a Mexican platrer,
which includes chili and tamales,
red beans, Spanish rice, cole slaw,
crackers and rolls, butter and drink.
All of these, and a variety of oth-
er foods come under the heading
of patriotic foods, for almost no
meat ration points are included.
sion it leaves.
The smart 'teen-ager, said
Miss Kniefl. knows that the
sleek look she desires is best
achieved when the under hair is
shaped to the crown and the
ends tapered to hang more
gracefully and in a softer fluff
about the shoulders. No, this
is not a hair cut. it is hair shap-
ing, and it doesn't subtract from
the length at all........
This younger set style calls for
an extremely soft permanent wave,
and a special curl aetting technique
to produce only a "bouncy" fluff
on the ends.
Most young girls are willing to
work for pretty hair yet most of
them need the professional assis-
tance of the highest quality. "We
enjoy working with the 'teen-agers.
Miss Kniefl added.
"And one more tip — the smart
girl today is a regular and ardent
wielder of the hair brush. It is a
beauty habit which will .pay her
real beauty dividends in the future,
as well as now."
Golden Wrapper of
Mead's Fine Bread
Chosen as Symbol
The golden color of the wrap-
per for each loaf of Mead's Fine
Bread not only sets that loaf
apart ony any grocery bread
rack, but it also is symbolic.
The golden color for the wrap-
per symbolizes the golden brown
of each Mead's loaf.
E P. (Doc) Mead explains
that the wrapper, in use for a
number of years. is a special de-
sign and copyrighted.
On the golden background of
the wrapper are reproduced
golden-brown loaves of bread
and the seal of genuine Mead's
fine bread. The wrapper also
explains that each loaf is fully
enriched with Vitamin B-1 and
other important elements for
health.

"spur of the moment "
He is speaking of families
who do not give serious thought
k» leaving Abilene, of those who
move whole households of fur- .
niture only to have to store it
at the end of the line, of those
who do not like conditions in
their new location and move
back in a short time.
"Moving should be essential be-
fore it is undertaken.” he urged.
"The move should be planned, and
the family should have a house or
apartment waiting when the furni-
ture leaves in so many places, it
now takes weeks, or months to get
an unfurnished place. We might
suggest renting a house furnished
here until permanent quarters can
be found at the new place Or store

located, the owner must find stor-
age at the other place, anyway.

however, give us as much ad-

frequently is possible to consoli-

notice.

On storage, Wilson suggests that
"you be sure you want to store your
goods " These are not times to be
changing plans—taking out goods
in a few days after it is placed in
storage.
Articles which may be needed,
however, can be grouped together
and removed without great incon-
venience. "Just mark these for the
front of the stack."
"In these times when much goods
cannot be replaced, our responsibil-
ity is so much greater. We could pay
for an item damaged or broken-
but we might not be able to replace
It. That is why we take such care
in handling every load, whether It
be great or small. We feel it our
patriotic duty as well as our busi-
ness responsibility.”
