HOBBIES FOR By DAVE ELMAN Master of Ceremonies of the popular Hobby Lobby program, heard on CBS every Tuesday evening at 8:30 P.M., EWT, rebroadcast at 9:00 P.M., PWT. WE CAN'T all take up arms against the Axis, but everyone can help in supplying our army with all the finest fighting equipment they've got to have to win this war. I know of no better — or more effective— way of getting these materials to our sons, brothers, friends and fellow Americans, than by the regular purchase of War Stamps and Bonds. And I'm speaking particularly to you people who want to buy war stamps and bonds but haven't the means with which to purchase them. Why not adopt a hobby for the duration which will help you get the money for war stamps and bonds? Odd? But not a bit! Take for instance little Bobby Rosengarten, of New York City. Bobby recently appeared on Hobby Lobby to lobby for his hobby of collecting junk. He called himself a "junkologist" then, but now he's working for Uncle Sam! Bobby tours the city collecting junk . . . metal, paper, rubber, etc. The little fellow sells his collections and uses the proceeds to buy war stamps. A man I know makes beautiful objects out of ordinary pipe cleaners . . . the kind you buy in any five and dime or tobacco store. He twists, turns, cuts and pares the cleaners to suit his purposes. Then he paints the cleaners in vivid colors and distributes them to his friends. His price ... a 25c defense stamp and up! I think you see what I'm driving at — making a hobby pay for your war savings bonds and stamps! But here are a few more things you can do: Do you own a movie camera? All right, when you show your films charge ten cents admission to your friends — they'll love to see themselves "candidly" cavorting or you traipsing in Bermuda or points East. If you're lucky enough to be making colored movies, you'll have an easy time packing 'em in. How many of you women put up preserves every year? Couldn't you jar a little more than usual and distribute the extras to friends for a stamp? If your son has a really super railroad outfit, let the neighborhood boys (and grandads) come in one by one of afternoons to race the trains to their heart's content with the toll tax going to Uncle Sam. These are only a few of the many possibilities for raising money through your hobby towards the purchase of war savings bonds and stamps. If you want any help with your hobby, drop me a line in care of the Columbia Broadcasting System in New York. NOVEMBER, 1942 // I may as well Work Overtime -I never Have a Date!" Susie: ". . . so run along, Terry. Keep your date with dark and handsome! I'd just as soon stay and work as sit at home alone!" Terry: "Susie! What a dull night life for a pretty girl! If I told you what dims your glamor— you'd have scads of dates!" Susie: "An underarm odor girl— me! Why, I bathe every day." Terry: "But why expect your morning bath to last all day! I play safe, with Mum! " "Pretty clothes and hair-dos don't mean much if underarm odor steals the show! Resolved: Each day it's a bath for past perspiration—Mum to guard the future!" MUM HAS the advantages popular girls want in a deodorant! Speed! Takes only 30 seconds. Safety! No risks to sensitive skin, even after underarm shaving; won't harm clothes. Certainty! Mum clinches bath freshness, not by stopping perspiration, but by preventing odor for a whole day or evening. Guard your charm —get Mum at your druggist's today! For Sanitary Napkins — Gentleness, safety, dependability —make Mum ideal for this important purpose, too. ^^scwtt*^ Mum TAKES THE ODOR OUT OF PERSPIRATION Product oj Bristol-Myers
