Hoggarth, wild passed from this life April 1911i, 1941. Short and sudden was the pall, Of one so dearly loved by all, The blow was great, the shock severe, We little thought his death so near, Some day, some time, we know not when, Wewill meet our loved one there, I —Sadly missed by Wife and Son. • I e And Rob Their Allies of Soap Thd t f rationing in Bri- 2 e a yen o soap tain has shown how much worse off are the Germans and their vassals and the occupied countries. Such soap as there is contains only a tiny pro portion of tat. The rest is clay, which not only fails to clean the body but ruins the poor -quality "ersatz" clothes now being worn even in the frigid Russian steppes. The German troops are not only dirty but cold. Information received through the British Government's secret channels shows that whereas 'in normal times German toilet soap contained 80 per cent, of fats, this was reduced to 40 per cent. just before the war, and has now fallen as lo was 15 to 20 per cent—actually only enough to bind together the remaining 80 to 85 per cent. of clay. Britain, on the other hand, has maintained the fat content at the pre-war 82 or 83 per cent. To -day, Germany has only enough toilet soap to provide 3 kilos (6.6 lbs.) a year for each inhabitant, and then only by robbin gthe occupied coun- tries of their share. For although there is enough toilet soap In Europe to supply 2 kilos (4.4 lbs.) per head all round. Germany's taking 3 kilos for her own people means that the occupied countries get only just over 1 kilo (2.2 lbs.)—about one-seventh of pre-war consumption in Western Europe.

IN CHURCH The poem "In Church" is by an em- ployee of the Bell Telephone Com- pany, Joan Frances Austen, and ap- peared in the December, 1940,.,.issue of "The Blue Bell." "God comfort those who suffer in this war, the parson prayed. The sun shone in through coloured glass; vibrant, the organ played. Deep in my foolish heart I asked, "How much does God take heed? Thousands of hearts are broken and a million people bleed!" And as I sat remembering only such TUCKERSMITH • things as these -- The victims of the devil's work were rescued from the seas; A thousand nurses stooped to ease a a thousand soldiers' pain; A hundred Spitfire pilots rose to clear the skies again; Many a foster mother kissed some little orphaned child; Smoke -blackened firemen fought huge fires with spirits undefiled; Ten million willing, outstretched hands fed homeless, hungry folk; A tired crowd underground laughed at a wounded actor's joke; White helmeted young doctors ;braved a screaming shower of death, Binding up hurts, speaking kind words, restoring failing breath.. "Oh thou of little faith," He said; And humbled, deep I bowed my head.
