It was stated that there was a certain quantity manufactured in New Zealand, but not nearly sufficient to meet requirements. Nothing like adequate supplies could lie obtained. One method in which economy could be obtained would be by housewives taking their own baskets for goods, a* was at present being done in (ireat Britain and was practised during the last war. It win also pointed out that solder could be made from old joints instead of being wasted as at present. Recently supplies of solder became short with the shortage of tin.
