Order Restricts Use
of Critical Materials
in Making Church Goods
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
WASHINGTON.—Use. of critical
war materials in such religious ar
ticles as crucifixes, rosaries, med
als, chalices and candlesticks is
prohibited by an order just issued
by the War Production Board.
After June 23, no manufacturer
of church goods may produce or
assemble items containing alumi
num, chromium, copper, lead (ex
cept for soldiers), magnesium,
nickel, rubber, silk, tin, zinc, and
alloy metals. Iron, steel, silver,
gold and wood may be used in
place of the critical materials,
WPB announced.
The Office of Price Administra
tion has placed on price regula
tions relating to church goods an
interpretation whereby Bible and
prayerbooks, being books, will not
be covered by the regulation fix
ing maximum prices. Crucifixes
and rosaries are among the ar
ticles affected by the regulation.
Unless they are antiques, “origin
al and unique,” statues and pic
tures also are covered by the reg
ulation.
Inquiry at the OPA disclosed
that regulations for the rationing
of gasoline under the new coupon
plan after July 1 have not yet
been officially approved. However,
it was believed here that with re
lation to clergymen needing the
use of their automobiles the regu
lation will be applied with every
possible regard for the special re
quirements of their ministry. It
is thought that clergymen will re
ceive “C” books, which will en
title them to additional amounts
of gasoline in such quantities as
will permit them to carry out
their work of ministering to the
spiritual needs of civilians.
The recent drastic limitation
order on the use of charter buses
announced by the Office of De
fense Transportation does not ap
ply to traveling for the purpose
of attending religious services at
the ordinary place of weekly wor
ship, according to an announce
ment by the ODT.

BONDS

INVEST IN VICTORY!
Our boys can take the War to the enemy, if we back them
up with ships and tanks and guns! But that takes money!
Help your Government to put the tools of war into the
hands of our soldiers by purchasing War Savings Bonds and
Stamps. And remember . . . just one Bond can't lick the
Axis any more than just one gun! It takes millions of
Americans buying War Savings Bonds and Stamps every
pay day!
Bonds cost $18.75 and up . . . and they pay you back
one-third more in only 10 years! Stamps cost 10tf, 25?, and
up . . . soon total the price of a Bond if bought regularly.
Help our boys on the fighting fronts wherever they may
be! Buy War Savings Bonds as an investment for yourself
and your country.
