Some restrictions are now being lifted, but it
does not mean lots of goods right away. War's
demands are still huge and must come first.
We can't neglect them just so that some of us
here at home can get a little more.
Don't confuse the signals—(This is the YELLOW

It means a little more of swim things and it helps.
business men get ready for the time when there
will be more materials and workers available.

Only after Victory over both enemiescan
the Green Light be switched, on, and the road
cleared for enough production to meet all our
