that the clothing and rags must be

There is patriotic duty in these

5mugglers Hit by Ban
On British and Dutch
Opium Monopo|ies

- Opium -smugglers, hard-hit by the
war that cuts them off from the
Orient, have lost hope of postwar
access to their leading source OF
opium for the United States as a
result of British and Dutch action
In agreeing to prohibit opium
smoking and abolish their opium
monopolies in British and Dutch
territories to be freed from japanese
occupation, it was learned today
when figures were obtained on opium
seizures in the United States. 4,
Hong Kong, one of the territories
affected by the British action, was
the source of So per cent of the
smoking opium seized In 1898. Dur
ing that year the seizures amounted
to 33,804 ounces, of which 18,8472a
came from Hong Kong.
Diplomatic Triumph for U. S.
The British and Dutch announce
ments represented a diplomatic tri-
umph for the United States, which
since 1907 has been waging a world
wide fight against opium. This gov
ernment already has opened lew
diplomatic campaign on the opium
front. this time aiming at an inter-
national agreement prohibiting the
cultivation of the opium poppy ex-
cept for medical and scientific needs
The poppy is cultivated extensively
In India and Iran, where opium is
an important item in the export
trade. The japanese have encouraged
its cultivation in Manchuria and its
use by natives there and in other
parts of occupied China. The
Chinese government has reduced the
popDy's cultivation to minimum in
territory under its control.
The japanese sell opium for smok
Ing and the opium -derivative, heroin,
with two ends in view-to gain
revenue and to weaken the resistance
OF peoples in occupied territories
They carry on the commerce not only
In China but in Siam, MALAYSIA
Burma and the Netherlands Indies
as we'll as in the Philippines, where
the United States had almost eradi-
Gated its use when the Japenese in
vaded the islands in 1941.
Long Fight Against Drug.
American interest in the opium
problem was awakened by problems
connected with the administration
Of the Philippines. Smuggling from
the ASiatic continent weakened
American efforts to abolish opium
smoking in the islands. The rec
ords show that this country was
chiefly instrumental in promoting
the conference at The Hague, in the
Netherlands, in 1912, that resulted
in the signing of the International
Opium Convention. That conven-
tion is the basis of all subsequent
international moves to control
opium.
The case against opium smoking
was summarized by the Interna-
tional Labor Office in a report in
1886 stating that the habit lis in
furious to the workers, impedes their
social and economic development
impairs their health and decreases
their efficiency and, when it is prac-
tised continuously, skaters the
health and increases the death rate
Of the smokers, and tends to reduce
the rate of economic and social
progress in the districts affected"

An intensive salvage collection

Three distinct salvage programs are

In Washington, waste paper is
being collected in two different ways,
but each is directed toward provid-

paper for the mills engaged in the
manufacture of paper cartons and

of newspapers read every day in

CHILDREN'S BEACH
HOUSE CHATTER

Robert came to the Beach House
two weeks ago. He had been in the
Delaware Hospital recovering from
a second-degree gasoline burn on
the leg. BY the time he reached
the Beach House he had replaced
his crutches with a cane. Now he
may be seen sitting on the terrace
in the sun. or he may be riding on
the speedster, the burned leg ex-
posed to the sun. When we go on
walks some of the boys and girls
pull him on the speedster. Robert,
who continues to go to the Beebe
Hospital twice a week to have his
leg dressed, is rejoicing now be-
cause he can walk without his
cane. He still entertains himself
and the smaller children by read
ing to them. making model air.
planes for them and masks for
Halloween. They enjoy listening to
his radio and in return for it all
they have been kind to him, hunt
ing his cane when he has mislaid
it and getting his coat when he
needs it to go outside.
Other new children are Dorcus
Masten from Dover; David Purcell
of Greenwood and Wilmington;
Corina and Floyd Locates from
Laurel.
The storm of last week cut away
our bank and kept the grown-ups
busy closing every door and win
