It’s a wonder Heydrich wasn’t shot long ago. His reâ€" cord in Czechoslovakia was dreadful. He had farmers shot simply because their cows gave less milk than other cows confiscated by the Nazis. Heydrich’s legacy of hate arises from his Civil Summary Courts which administer his “.civil martial law.” These Courts handle about 70 cases daily of price regulation, evasion, sabotage, slander, resistance to occupation. There are few acquitals: 20 per cent of the victims are hung or shot; the rest are handed over to Hitler’s Secret State Police, which means immedi: ate death or death from overly “energetic examination” (this is the term the SS Police use in their records). Heyâ€" dlich’s' Courts have been operating for eight months. The 200 or so Czechs so far killed in reprisal for the shooting of Heydrich are but a fraction of those whose deaths are already directly attributable to this butcher. We hope when coupons are issued for sugar, tea, coffee or Whatever may come under compulsory rationing that they will be more equitably distributed than the gas rat- ings. Altogether too many people are in the wrong cate- gory for gas rations. Canadians We believe will welcome compulsory rationing that is fair and equitable to all. It is inevitable as the war progresses that there will be a scarcity of many commodities and compulsory rationing is the one means by which the available supply can be equitably distributed. It is not that the individual citizen deliberately in~ tends to be selfish or unpatriotic: he convinces himself easily enough that he really needs the supplies he has been accustomed to get and that, in any case, the amount of saving in his own case will be negligible. He fails to realize or unconsciously closes his eyes to the fact that every other citizen thinks and acts pretty much as he does so that, when he evades rationing regulations, the total amount lost to the war effort is not that involved in his own pen onal case but one in reality thousands, if not mili- ions of times as large. Moreover, there is no reason why those who do comply with the regulations should be subâ€" jected to sacrifices when others escape them for no valid reason. The amount of the sugar ration has been reduced and who can say that this might not have been necessary if more people had observed the initial restriction loyal'ly? More restrictions are coming for Canadians in the near future according to all signs of the times. Rationing by coupon of certain supplies and products undOubtedly is very nearly here. It is bound to come, because while the voluntary or honor method has served as a useful pre- liminary in the face of human nature being what it is, it simply couldn’t fill the bill. “The town whose business men do not get behind it can expect little improvement. The departmental stores are right on the job, and by newspaper and catalogue ad- vertising will make every attempt to hold their business. They did not get it easily, and they do not intend to re linquish it Without a struggle.” Buy War Savings Stamps Regularly To those sage words, Editor Sam Curry, of The Tweed News, adds the following: “The day of opening up a store, putting stock on the shelves, and then sitting back and waiting for customers, is as outmoded as women’s corsets or buttoned shoes. If you want to sell to-day, you must tell your customers what you have to sell. Customers won’t stand in front of you while you tell them by word of mouth. They want to sit down and read it and digest it in their own home at their leisure. Most people read the newspapers nowadays, and the store that thinks it can increase business without telling the public regularly what it has to sell, is fooling nobody but itself.” “Towns with business men who are willing to carry a good stock of goods and advertise it, will do more busiâ€" ness than formerly, but we have our doubts of those small] towns whose business men spend their time shining their pants on the counters instead of shining up their stores and going at this thing of making a living as if it meant something to them. A town that does only the business that people are forcedI to give it for the reason that some other trading centre is too far away, cannot hope for much increase in trade.” The big Toronto mail order houses are seeking to make good the losses of the big department stores by send- ing out more catalogues than ever. This is competition that is hard to meet unless the town merchant makes a steady practice of advertising his wares. He must bring before the public the latest news regarding the contents of his shop if he expectspeo-ple to go there rather than sit at home and thumb the pages of the catalogue.” Editor Frank Irwin of {he_ Durham ChroniEle has this to say: ' - Established 1878 $dvertising Rates on Application. Commenting on the increased business now coming to the small town, The Midland Free Pres-s says: “Gasoline rationing and the knowledge that no more tires are available to replace the present ones on the family car are putting a crimp in the practice of running to the city to shop. The people of the towns and the surround- ing countryside will do their buying in the home market. As loyal citizens, they should do that in any case, but un- fortunately people do not always do what they should. Now they will have to, but for one thing. From all over the country come reports of increased business in the small towns. The home shopping centre is coming into its own. There is increased business in Richmond Hill and merchants throughout the district re- port that business is good. True there arc restrictions, and in some respects business is difficult but after all there’s a. war on, we have much to be thankful for, and we must make the best of things as they are.
