They have tried to conserve silk so as to have enough to make parachutes for their fliers. To do this the greater majority of the women have cut the sleeves off all of their dresses, and they are wearing something similar to overalls. The only shoes available are made of paper or fish-skin. Wood en shoes are rationed. Leather shoes can be bought from the black market, but there is a very high fine if you are caught buy ing anything from them. Also matches, medicine, and fuel are rationed, and heating by gas or electricity is prohibited. There is a national labor draft requiring all males between 12 and 60 and all unmarried females from 12 to 40 to register. This is strictly enforced, and all those people who are servants, elevator operators and in other similar oc cupations are required to register since these occupations are consid ered non-essential. The working hour is between 12 to 16 hours a day, and many schools have worked their sche dules out so that the teachers and pupils can work in the factories. So you see that we are lucky to live in a country with such a high standard of living; where the gov ernment is so lenient, and we see what we might have done if it weren’t for our excellent form of democracy.
