famine. or in Germany, because good
Americans could not possibly smoke the
stun sold for tobacco.

Rhine, that as it was known We were
IN pretty big cities. or at least in goodly
sized towns we wouldn't get tobacco
gifts any longer because it stood to
reason we could buy our own. The very
contrary is true. We have never been go
hard put in trying TO find smokes as
since we came TO Germany"
