all they cannot use to the clothes
closet, rummage sales or foreign

similar to those of the last war in
that ANY material you can buy will
be in style any way it is made"
The scarcity of cotton will cen

Wool will also be harder to get next

claim that any of these delayed

"radioactivity." They do say that
those who died later were persons
who were burned from rays or
fire, or who sustained other in

sion. The effects from burns by
rays created at the instant of the

The death toll of Hiroshima was SO
