THE CHINA MAIL, SEPTEMBER 16, 1940.
EAST ANGLIA UNPERTURBED BY RAIDS
IN EAST ANGLIA the hitherto limited use of the German air arm has fallen rather more heavily | inland than on the coast (though the most that has So far happened at any one place have been two, or perhaps three, attacks, each delivered by one raider, or two at most).
One might therefore have expected some of the inland towns, if any, to be the most upset by the course of the war thus far.
The truth is that everyday life continues in them much more normally than along the coast. Air raids have virtually nothing to do with it.
If some of the seaside resorts, more or less resemble dead cities 't is because of the ban on sum-} mer visitors and voluntary, evacuation, encouraged by the Government. The inland towns, on the contrary, are if anything fuller than usual: and, unlike the holiday resorts, they can still make ends meet.

NAZI HEALTH ALSO ERSATZ
PRE-WAR NAZI apologists were not alone in propagating the, mythical attributes of the Third Reich.
Vaguely aware of the rule of suppression which had so effectively disposed of all opposition to the so-called National Socialist regime in Germany, many people fell for the stories of social advance- ment which Propagandist Joseph Goebbels released for foreign consumption.
