Miss C•Rankin, Bayfield• Returns from England (By Our Bayfield Lorresponderit) Miss Catherine P. Rankin is en- joying white bread and butter and milk es she never did before. The reason? Miss Rankin has just returned after having spent six weeks in England end Scot - here she didn't see w bre d or milk and the butterhiall-- lowance was extremely meagre. The bread isn't even Britain, brown bread. plaited, It is grey from so many added flour substitutes and vitamins to make it nourishing. And it isn't appetizing. One is not hungry. At the hotels very liberal helpings of soup and potatoes and extremely small port' of meat or fowl are served for dinner. There is always plenty of fish (and how sick and tired the British people have grown of boiled fish, and more boiled fish—they have no cooking fat to fry it). There is a good apple crop in England this year, and apples in one form or another are in great evidence as dessert. The diet is. adequate but monot- onous. After seeing the bombed out portionsd how he British peoplle "took it" dur- ing the war—and are still taking it with their austerity program designed to put Britain back on her feet, financially—Miss Rank- in is filled with admiration for spirit on the fireplace: Her fourteen year old son Robert sat in a chair on one side and his, younger sist- er Catherine on' the other side. Suddenly there was a "swish." ,The mother thought "This is IT" Robert jumped up from his chair, shook hands with his sister, say- ing: "Good-bye Catherine. It's nice to Kaye known you." Instead of the V2 they expected to blow them to atoms, they discovered quantities of cut paper which a British aeroplane had dropped to intercept the beam which guided the V2 bomb. And then with all their diffic- ulties during the war, the kind- ness of the British in lending a helping hand to the stranger oppressed was illustrated in this same home when her cousin told of her nephew Phillip who was near death in a German ut prison camp. He was repatriated e left behind a Czechoslovak, Ernst, a fellow prisoner who said: "I wish I could escape to England but I know no one there." PhilUUip said "My aunt would take you in" and wrote her name and address on a slip of paper. Two years later when she an- swered a rap at the door man presented this slip of paper, ex- plaining that he was Ernst and introducing his ailing wife Tania. She took them in and nursed beeTania back by tthee; Germans .
