MODERN and OLD TIME DANCING . HE OLD JUDGE SAYS... Every Saturday Night WINTER'S HALL 7 Mile and Farmington Road "Sorry Judge, my shipment of suspenders still hasn't come in. Some articles are mighty scarce these days. I don't get anywhere near as much as I could sell." "With the war going on, Frank, we've got to expect those things. It's true of luxuries just as it is of necessities. Take whiskey, for example. There's a real shortage in that. It's to be expected when you realize there hasn't been a drop of it distilled in this country sihce way back in October, 1942. "The only thing distillers have been making during that time is war -alcohol for the Government. So, I wasn't surprised a bit to read how bootlegging and black markets have sprung up around the country as a result of the dwindling supply. Our 13 years of prohibition proved that if folks can't get legal whiskey, they'll get illicit whiskey. Sure hope the shortage doesn't last too long. I'd hate to see this country turned over to the bootleggers again." ' This advertisement sponsored by Conference of Akoholic Beverage Industries. I-.

And COAL is required to make electricity —as well as manpower, transportation, and other critical resources. The Government asks everyone to save electricity to save coal. You can conserve in the operation of your refrigerator by defrosting regularly. Don't keep a "snow-, man" in the refrigerator: heavy frost on the cooling coils makes the motor run overtime. Open the refrigerator door as little as possible. Don't overcrowd the shelves, and don't put hot foods in the refrigerator to cool.
