T E 2TORY OF' HI LDREII'Z UW11ERWEA OBVIOUSLY babies and children must have underwear. So—the Wartime Prices and Trade 'Board has given- special attention to the production of these garments. ' The problem has not been so much one of a lack 'of raw materials, but of getting the raw materials .1(wool, cotton, rayon), spun into yarns—and then knit into garments.

We have always had to get a substantial: part of oorr requirements fromother countries, even in peace- tittle. But since the war, there has been an acute shortage of underwear yarns everywhere. Therehas been a greatly increased demand in addition to production difficulties. The efforts ;of the Board to:meet the problem are given below. THE 'INCREASED DEMAND RESULTED FROM • More babies ... It's apparently Nov- always the way in wartime.] Increased consumer buying . . More people with more money. • f< t Reduced use of second-hand or "hand-me-down" garments. less home sewing ... Mothers • have been working outside'the home. .• MORE UNDERWEAR : but still not enough! The reason is that it just hasnot been possible to produce with . the skilled workers, and, machines available to. the United Nations enough yarn and garments to sleet the incredised demands all over the world. • Extra buying . . . Perhaps too many people wanted to be "on the safe side." Huge demand for underwear by Armed Forces. WHAT HAS BEEN 'DONE ABOUT IT %/First of all the Board found out the kind and quantity of garments Canadian children must have. v'This•showed-that the public is asking for more Than is„stually needed. • %/So plans were made to see, by directing production all down the Iine, if we could meet the swollen demand as nearly as possible. v'Each manufacturer was told to produce an increased number of garments: VA constant check is kept on chills to see that they are producing the required number. ' v' Manufacturers ' not pre- viously making children's .,, underwear were induced to go into its production. An additional 60Q,000 garments Will be provided this year from these sources. v'Negotiations were conducted with production authorities in other countries for supplies of yarnto Canadian ,knitters for use in children's undenvear. %/Primary . cotton mills were required to divert spinning facilities from fabric manufacture to the spinning of underwear yarns. 'Arrangements were made through National Selec- tive Service to direct more The greatly increased supply of children's underwear resulting from these 'efforts is shown by the relativesizes of the lures below. 1935.1939 overage 1942 .. 1943 1944 • labour to the undenvear mills. �A especial campaign was launched to enlist part time' workers. v'Distribution to retail stores was organized to en- sure equitable . supply to all areas. *eee4(ew4ffe'eerneit eveftresse Alta mad4 - nut? day tioa THE WARTIME PRICES AND TRADE BOARD mu 1S ONE OF A WAIFS Of ANNOUNc NT$ Gtvflst4 Th rAt s AllOOf ttff SUPPLY stYL AtiON OF ,VARIOUS WIDELY utED comma ittes t,.
