HEADQUARTERS ALASKAN
, DEPARTMENT, May 15, —No
body could taunt the American
doughboy in World War II with
the old bit of doggerel that started
—“The Infan-tree, the Infan-tree,
“With dirt behind the:r ears—’’
because if the amount of soar)
used annually bv our soldiers is
to be taken as indicative of any
thing, the doughboys iust didn’t
have any dirt behind their **ars,
or anywhere else.
The War Department said today
in a press release:
“More than 600 million pounds
of soaps and other deterrents orr i
year were reqtiired to make thej
U. S. Army in World War If *he
cleanest army the world ha* ever
known.
“The Quartermaster Corps,
which directed the development
of new cleansers and the improve
ment of the old ones, says the
high standard of cleanliness was;
an important contribution also to .
making the GI the healthiest I
fighter.
“Soap - toilet, soft-, hard , and
sea-water, was the imposing des-1
ignation given a new all-purpose!
soap supplied to troops beginning
in 1944. This new soap proved so
effective that it was brought to
a peak procurement of 25 m:llion
pounds a year. The troops used
it for bathing, shaving, cleaning I
mess gear, hand laundry, and al- J
most every other kind of cleans
ing.
“Two-ounce bars included in ‘he
10-in-one ration packages became
premium items among overseas
soldiers. The all-purpose soap was
composed of approximately 25
percent synthetic detergents and
from 10 to 30 percent coconut
oil. It lathered freely in hard
or sea water and at temperatures
between near-freezing and boil
ing It was of limited availability,
however, because of the short sup
| ply of components.
“The standard yellow-bar laun
dry soap, known to the service
as GI soap, was the most exten
sive used. Peak requirements for
the yellow bar reached 425 mil
■ lion pounds a year.”
Shake out each piece of laun
dry before you hang it on the
1 line and you will save ironing
time.
