"CHEEKING" THE GERMANS
Dutchmen faithful to the House of Orange have recently worn orange flowers concealing razor blades. If Nazis snatched at the flowers, they got their fingers sliced. One week many Dutchmen paused before traffic lights until they turned orange-meaning " wait "- then cheered the royal tint and went on their way. In Norway many streets are named after Nazi-exiled King Haakon VII. Norwegian street car conductors, approaching these streets do not merely drone "King Haakon Street" but instead cry out "His Majesty King Haakon Street!" The Nazis try futilely to stop the house-to-house distribution of crude little newspapers-one called The Illegal Times-telling of British ‘victories.
