No Nothing

From A for Access-Panels to W for Work-Benches, the U.S. was stripped clean of its iron & steel. WPB issued its most sweeping curtailment order yet, banning use of the metal after August for practically every civilian use under the sun --more than 400 items in all.

Said WPB: no more asparagus tongs, beer mugs, bird cages, butter knives, cash registers, cigaret lighters, cocktail shakers, compacts, corn poppers; no more flagpoles, hair curlers, knitting needles, lobster forks, pie plates; no more roller skates, spittoons, toolboxes, wastebaskets or weatherstripping; no more nothing. Only concession to buying-as-usual: if gold or silver could do in place of other metals, WPB said go ahead.
