There Was Just Nothing
I had to go baek to the place
where I had my little flat at the be-
ginning of the 'wan, before my land-
lord gave up the house; and I stood
on the curb, gasping. Jest at first I
couldn't 'believe that I hadn't missed
my way, for on the corner where the
grocery store used to stand, not
more than fifty yards from mY little
home, there was . . . nothing. Just
nothing at all except an empty space
and the newly -plastered side of a re-
paired house. The road itself was
smooth and tidy, but the Man at the
spectacle shop told me that the bomb
crater in front of that used -to -be
store was big enough to hold a house.
There is something unshakably ef-
ficient about these Londoners, for all
the roads, once a shambles and a
mass of holes and craters, are as
smooth as ever they were, and traf
fic rumbles by hoardings, and shatter-
ed walla, just as if nothing had ever
happened. The optician, a dear,
cheerful little man, described his own
experience when he came along' in
the morning, after that particular
raid, to find the front of his shop
blown out and hundreds of ,pairs of
broken spectacles in the road.
"Never saw such a mess in 'my
life!” he said. "And now, just see if
You can read that third line . ."
Yes, it was 'business as usual with
him; in fact, he was never so busy
as he is now. With the best will
in 'the world he will have to keep
me waiting eight weeks for my new
glasses. But—thank goodness! --the
days are getting longer, and eye-
strain is less acute. Truly I don't
wonder that Mrs. Presidentcouldn't
get over our blackout! Well, we've
had years of it, sp it is small won-
der that we're sick andtired of peer-

Did One Good Thing
Yesterday I was talking to my
friend in the National Fire Service,
and be had some interesting com-
ments to make. "In the long run,"
he said, "when we've got over the
nastiness of the loss of life, it will,
be seen that Hitler did at least one
good thing—getting rid of a lot of
the terrible places which, in the
course of years, had grown up around
some of our ports.
"Slums and dives have gone. Blitz-
ing and demolition have wiped them
out as nothing else would have done.
Those horrid little haunts ,of disease
and vine are now clean off the map."
nd even in some of the 'expensive'
'ndon districts I saw hepeful signs
for the future, where rows of ugly,
pretentious houses', now stand empty
and half -charred, looking for all the
world like grubby, bloated old crea-
tures with their front teeth knocked
out.
'I always hated those houses with
their Victorian conservatories over
the porch and their look of selfish
smugness. Not much loss of life
there, I feel sure, for most of their
occupants had already, moved out;
but maybe those wide, elegant roads
will soon have better and simpler
buildings to offset them. It's a great
chance for improvement and I hope
we shall take it.
Still Going Strong
Our pergonal `wanglin,gs, are still
going Strong. I have just met , a
friend who tells me that she has Con-
trived a really smart outfit for her-
self from her husband's old dress
suit. Also a couple of patty shirt-
waists from to of his more elderly
shirts. Now, whenever he finds 'her
hovering near his clothes -closet he
waves his armswildly and shouts:
"You go away! Hang it4 there are
limits!" Yes, I nuppose there are,
poor fellow!
The Gardening Partner has just
turned up with a wonderful beating
arrangement for my room; all con-
trived (with the exception of aufish-
tail ,burner and a couple of taps)
from stuff from our local damp. The
burner stands inside a bottomless
paitit-can, and over it all rests a big
oll-drum; and it really warms the
place in a wonderful way, thus sav-
ing no end of fuel. He got the no

from Our Malay States friend,
who made' one for himself and had

per, to his delight4..

about that. 'This bit of regimenta-

NEEDS A LOT OF TRAINED MECHANICS
Realizing the immediate need for trained army mechanics
and the difficulty of improvising training centres, John
Labatt Limited, back in 1940, placed the facilities of their
transportation division at the disposal of the military
authorities faiNuAs in connection with the Army's Trades
Training programme.
Sine then, eight classes of army mechanics, thoroughly
trained in practical work, have graduated from Labatt's
Army Trade School and are now serving in the Cana-
