Mourners Rationed To One Dress
HITLER has just made a con- cession to Germany's women..
They are allowed to buy black materials for one mourning dress if they can produce docu- mentary proof that a near rela- tive has lost his life in action.
The Nazi authorities, however, scem to fear that this bencilt for wor widows may be misused..
They have therefore forbidden cloth dealers to hand the cloth to the customer. She must leave the ad- dress of her dressmaker behind.
The black cloth will then be sent to the dressmaker, who is warned that under no circumstances must it be used for anything but a mourning dress.
-
GERMAN workers have been roused by the latest manifestation off Nazi meanness.
A decree has been issued which in- strucks employers that their workers must make up working time which they lose during an nir vald warning. Working time cut short by such alarms must be made up within six weeks or workers will have 50 per cent. of their normal wages for the lost time deducted.
