Breeding Hatred
Cincinnati Enquirer

Like hordes of locusts the Nazis strip the lands
they conquer of every vestige of useful goods Vic
torious Red and Allied troops surging back into
parts of Russia and into the cities of Tunsia which
the Germans had fled find civilian populations left
with almost nothing except bales of propaganda ma
terial gifts from Adolf Hitler.
1t would not be so strange should enemy armies,
on being driven out of country, carry away with
them the material which could be of advantage to
opposing forces. But this is not the German way;
they do their ooting during the period of occupa-
ton sending to the homeland anything the armies
do not use. Thus, even before they are forced to
evacuate they make enemies of civilian populations.
There may be an excellent reason now for this
action The need of the German population on the
Continent may be pressing that it is necessary
to strip occupied areas. But while this may be true
today, it certainly not true during the early
months of the Yet the system was the same.
Such operations display one Of the innate weak
nesses of the German people where colonization is
involved. Unable to understand the feelings or to
sympathize with the desires of other natonaties,
the followers of Hitler foster hatred and enmity
wherever they CO. These hatreds have been building
on the Continent of Europe. Doubtless they will be
forceful factor in the final fall of the Nazi war
machine

featist block in Chungking has been
exerting pressure to make "reaS-

propagandists have been fostering
this movement with every available

their arguments is the comparative
trickle of supplies which has

Should Be Carefully Planned To
Pay Dividends In Health

Vacation time. Those who have
not already had a vacation are
looking forward to one feeling
the need of one in Delaware's hot
and huimd weather.. A wartime
vacation is not a luxury nor is it
unpatriotic if it is carefully plan
ned to renew the health and vigor
of the person taking it, according
to the State Board of Health, who
emphasize that many q a person,
tired and rundown, finds that after
a week or two of rest and change
he may be so refreshed that he
returns to the job with working
efficiency increased and morale i'm
proved. Then he tackles the job
with fresh enthusiasm and an en-
ergy that gets things done much
faster than before. In the end more
work is accomplished than had the
person remained in the same old
rut.
Then, too, there is the great
of storing up vitality for
the stormy months ahead. Bodies
made vigorous by rest and out

Hard coal is being rationed-
without coupons as hedge
against shortages this fall and
winter.
Providing the nation is not hit
by another severe winter, the
shortages. are not considered too
acute, anthracite producers said
this week, and their advice to con-
sumers was:
place your orders for coal now
and wait until your local dealer
can deliver it,"
The producer dealer rationing
program began this week after ad-
vices from Solid Fuels Administra-
tor Ickes that ALLEGATIONS of hard
coal to dealers would be cut to 80
per cent of last years sales and
that available supplies should be
distributed as widely as possible
to enable all users to get their
share.

he had asked the War Manpower
Commission to release anthracite
miners from the armed services in
order to step up production. The

Detached Shoe Stamps

Loose shoe stamps detached

only to make bona fide mail order
purchases, the Office of Price Ad-

An amended regulation prohibits
the practice of selecting shoes at

ers and dealers, OPA said, have
assumed this was a proper mail

If a shoe stamp is accidentally
detached from the ration book. a

Use Of Ration Coins
Is Planned By OPA
Red, Blue Stamps May Be
Supplemented By Tokens
After January l

II you've figured out now how to
tell the new pennies from dimes,
you're ready for the next course
in wartime coinage-ration tokens.
The Office of Price Administra-
tion said this week 1t was fairly
certain that ration coins would
go into use on or about January l
to supplement, but not replace, ra-
tion stamps.
Good only for food rationing, the
tokens are to be colored red and
blue to match the stamps in war
ration books. They will be handed
out by the grocer as change for
ration stamps. Thus each stamp
could be given a higher point value
and ration books would last long
er.
There has been discussion of
having tokens come in two sizes.
a one-point coin about the size of
a nickel and a five-point token as
big as a quarter. But this isn't
settled yet; possibly they'll all be
of the one-point denomination.
