what to expect from the bomb, how the bomb operates,
and other information, and have thus robbed the Ger
mans of the main use of their bomb, and that was to
terrify the civilians and to lower their morale, rather
than to do any real military damage.
The use of the weapon again emphasizes the fact
that the civilian population of thQ fighting countries
take just as much punishment in modern warfare as do
the fighting men, and even more in the countries where
actual fighting takes place. They are not able to fight
back much either, only that they keep the goods of war
flowing to the fighting men at the front.

Farmers have been heard to say many times, that
they would like to have one of them, to do the many
jobs about the farm, to get around over the farm with,
to do the light field work with and a thousand other
uses.
In the initial statement giving the price of the used
“jeep” the OPA did not make any statement as to when
cars would be available to the public. It is not likely to
be very soon, either, and as there is but little gas for
their use, they would likely not be very usable, if they
were obtainable. But once they are thrown onto the
market, it is safe to say that there will be a ready sale
for them.
