Special Care With Shoes
Many parents who are sincerely
interested in the health and wei

shoes until they are worn out, dis
regarding the fact that children's
feet grow rapidly and often larger
size is needed when the
shoes are still in good condition.
Short stockings or socks which
bind the toes, are almost as bad for
the child's feet as are tight shoes.
Intelligent parents will avoid both.
To consider the pOcketbOok before
considering the Child'S needs is
poor economy. indeed. because 1t
may do great damage to the young

has advised the use of arch sup

to Judge whether or not a person

GERMANY:
Strikes for Food

Coal miners In Germany'S Ruhr
area are striking for larger food
rations for themselves and their
families. This region is in the Brit
ish zone More than 300, 900 miners
have been off the job at various
times in demonstrations against
what they consider inadequate food
allowances. Most of the Ruhr's ITO
mines have been idle at some time
or other during the past two weeks.
The Ruhr Is the heart of industrial
Germany, containing coal and iron
mines, steel mills and other heavy
industries.
British authorities have been ap-
pealing, for the most part futilely,
to the miners to remain on the job.
The situation has been getting
worse for some time, largely as a
result of British inability to obtain
and transport large enough quanti-
ties of foodstuffs to maintain min
imum subsistence diet. Heavy
workers feel the lack even more
acutely, and trouble has been brew
Ing all winter.
Curtailment Of coal output has
serious consequences, not only for
Germany, but for 13 European
countries now receiving 10 per cent
of the German coal production.
Electric power reductions soon will
become necessary in these nations,
it is feared. In an effort to ease the
situation, British authorities are
rushing all available food from
other parts of their zone.

BRITAIN:
Peacetin1e Draft

Recognizing the threat to peace
that the Russian foreign policy pre-
sents to Britain, as well as to all
the world, the parliament passed a
peacetime conscription bill, dis
tasteful as this is to the Labor gov
ernment. A curious alignment COM
bined to force passage Of the bill as
Conservatives joined with Laborites
to vote the act through. There was
embarrassment on both sides, for
many of the Labor party members
had voted against conscription at
the beginning Of the war. The Con-
servatives, led by Winston Church
Ill, reluctantly favored a bill spon-
sored by the party they ardently
dislike. Liberals and certain paci-
fst Laborites voted mo" on bill.
The national service bill extends
the present conscription laws for
Eve years beyond January I, 1949.
It provides for 18 months Of active
service for all men IS to 26, and

Consumer demand for whisky is

These combined facts may force a

festive spirit during the victory
period has now tapered off, and
sales have dropped off naturally
