AIJeT InIee years OF BlODdl Wal
everybody in this country who
needed shoes could get them," Mr..
Charters said. "The shoe rationing
program in the Columbus district,
as well as nationally, has been
one of the most successful of the
wartime regulations.
"The highly efficient operation
of this program is due in no small
measure to the active cooperation
of the public and shoe dealers, and
the capable but sympathetic un-
derStanding of the various ration
boards of the needs of their COM
munities. Not one application for
a pair of shoes has been presented
to this district office for review
since shoe rationing was put into
effect"
The United States entered 1915
with the lowest shoe stocks in
years-147 million pairs. In 1941
our shoe factories made 369 million
pairs for civilians. Last year Al
percent of the total cattle hides
went for war purposes. OF the bet
ter grades of leather, an even high
er percent went to the military.
War Causes Shortage
The shortage of civilian shoes
stems directly from the war, Mr.
Charters said. The average soldier
in this country wears out two and
one-half pairs of shoes a year. In
the European theater the rate
was as high as one pair in five
weeks. In the Pacific, because of
the tropical climate and rugged
jungle and coral reef conditions,
soldiers often wear out a pair of
heavy Army boots in three days.
The Army combat boot uses about
three and one-half times as much
upper leather as the ordinary mems
shoe.
Since November, 1943, shoes
have been rationed at the rate of
one new coupon every six months,
except the last stamp-Airplane
No. (Which covered an eight
month period. The military de-
mand for shoes is expected to be
reduced to allow approximately
1912 million pairs to be added to
civilian supplies during the latter
part of the year Airplane Stamp
No. 4 in Book 3 will be good Aug.
1.
Other Information Wanted
In addition to the inventory of
shoes for sale on July 81, the OPA
form calls for a statement by each
dealer on the total number of
pairs he sold to consumers during
the preceding year; his inventory
of babies shoes, rationed as of
April 80, 1915. 1t also requests
each dealer to report on his ration
checkbook balance, the amount of
ration currency he has on hand
and on deposit with supplierS and
also received from other dealers
that have not yet been transferred.
Among the other federal agen-
cieS requesting shoe inventories
were the War Production Board,
Office of Civilian Requirments and
the Census Bureau of the Depart
ment of Commerce.

Major George K. Ditlow has been
recently promoted to Lieutenant
Colonel and awarded the Bronze
Star Metal for meritorious service
in connection with military oper-
ationS against the enemy in Ger
many from Feb. %, 1915 to Mar.
IL, 1915. The accompanying cita-
ton diScloSeS that.
Lieutenant Colonel Ditlow dis
played exceptional ability in or
ganizing and directing the activ-
tiles of the G-3 section of the 9th
Armored Division. The rapid adj
vance of the Division from the first
allied bridge head across the Rhine
neceSsitated continual changes in
operational directives. Lieutenant
Colonel Ditlow worked continu-
ously with little rest or sleep in
order to keep continually abreast
of the rapidly changing situation.
BY his continuous efforts he made
possible the issuance by the Di-
vision Commander and Staff of
vitally important orders and oper-
ational instructions which resulted
in the highly successful completion
of a difficult operation" The 9th
Armored Division was the first
Division of the Allied Armies to
cross the Rhine when they captured
intact the Ludendorff Bridge at
Remagen on March 8.
Both Lieutenant Colonel and
Mrs. Ditlow are well known in
Marysville, as he was a former
manager of the Union Rural Elect
ric in 1878. Mrs. Ditlow, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Gilbert, of Sycamore ST., and her
two year old daughter, Barbara,
are making their home at Manhat-
tan, Kan. while her husband is
overseas.
