Yet, because no legislation exâ€" ists to require them to submit to treatâ€" physical condition to escape service." Armstrong Urges Rejected Men To Prepare For Service "All men of: military age,". Colonel Armstrong said, "owe serve to the nation in this crucial hour of our hisâ€" tory. No man should shirk his duty merely because he has been temporar ity rejected by the army as a result of some physical defect that can be corâ€" rected with treatment." "Thousands of men have been classiâ€" Colonel Paul G.‘ Armstrong, THlinois director ‘of Selective Service, urges all men who have been rejected for military service to rehabilitate themâ€" selves so that they may do their part in winning the war. f 7 It is all very fine to provide amusement for the drafted and enlisted men who are serving our country, but at the same time some thought should be given to the officers and their wives â€" many of whom would like to live in this city if they could find a place to stay. It is wel lunderstood that many of the officers from both Fort Sheriâ€" dan and Great Lakes live outside the posts, and it might just as well be in this city as any other suburb. Certainly we have the same ad vantages to offer them as the other city â€" more in some cases. . _ _ Of course, the government may step in and build a hotel or apartment house, but until such a time arrives, it is our patriotio duty to see that shelter is provided for these people, even if we have to go so far as to sublet our spare rooms t othem. It is a factâ€"that the local home owners areâ€"not going so far as to actually open their homes to service men and their families, who are searching frantically for living quarters. Probably such a thought never occured to these people. 7 ‘ Your store, in short, is more than just a place where goods are bought and sold in routine fashion. Retailing is working to protect the consumerq to the ultimate of its abilities on the one hand â€" and to give maximum service to the war effort on the other; ‘As one city official put it, "People may claim to be patriotic, but they‘re not patriotic enough to open their homes to these people." . _ Today, retailers are proving their abilities as salesmen of War Stamps. A short time ago, a "Retailers for Victory" drive‘was started, in which all kinds.and sizes of stores participated. The object is to tell $1,000,000,000 worth of War Stamps and Bonds each month for the duration. Reports n the early weeks of the campaign show that, as usual, America‘s retailers are doing the job with complete and spectacular success, : One of Highland Park‘s most serious problems at the present timeis the housing situation, as far as the service men and their families are concerned. ARE WE PATRIOTIC? the lead in advising consumers on how to select and use suitable subâ€" stitutes. They issued factual information which showed the consumer how to make many kinds of articles last longer. And in the food field, retailers are ay important factor in advancing the National Nutrition ampaign, which is designed to guide the housewife in preâ€" paring healthful, appetizing meals at minimum cost. _ Long before Federal price control was adopted, retailing in general went to work to hold prices down. Whenever possible, it lowered its operating costs and.passed the savings on to the consumer. In many instances, it voluntarily reduced its own modest margins of profit in order to control prices. It is a significant fact that, over a long period of time, wholesale prices increased to a far greater exâ€" tent than retail prices. In other words, had retailers increased their markâ€"up on the basis of the wholesale price index, the cost of living would have been substantially higher than is actually was. ' : This country owss a debt of gratitude to the retail industry. For no industry has shown a more aggressive and cooperative spirit in dealing with the tremendous problems inmposed by our war economy. That goes for chain stores, independent stores, department stores and all other accepted forms of retail distribution. YOUR STOREKEEPER AND THE WAR 32. No. 26 STRICTLY LOCAL by IVAN N.
