to foster this, and the formatloil of an A.R.P. Association, designed to keep the wardens together and to facilitate such future lectures as may be called for,


•would be a welcome step. Mltton House, the local A.R.P. headquarters. Is fully occupied at present, but as the training Is gradually completed, the> premises will be available for meetings not so seriously concerned with Instruction. Probably some move towards the establishment of a Wardens’ Association will come from the wardens themselves, for they realise, better than the uninstructed can, the need for contlnudd interest in the work. Many Important matters remlaln to be decided by the Central Authority, and It Is clear that the A.R.P. Committee Is go­ ing to be one of the busiest and most Importanji sections of the Corpora- tlon departments, since It has the duty of co-ordinating the details In a general scheme.

,AU Souls’ College, bxford, has bought


an estate of 2,725 alcreS In .the Slaldbum district. The propetty. Includes some 23 holdings, the choicest being Woodhouse Gate and Black House, adjoining the Pylde Water Board’s reservoir, and there are other important holdings at Newton, the estate stfetchlng from! that village behind Slaldbum to the Stocks district. I t is understood that the' College have acquired this estate' as an Investment and that there win be no ^tufbance of exist­ ing tenancies. The estate has recently been In the possession of Mr. W. Place and partners, for whom Mr, R. Hltchln, J.P., of West Bradford, has acted as agent. I t is Interesting to riote that this estate adjoins the Whltewell properties recently acquired by the Duchy of Lan­


caster. The area is devoted to stock raising and milk production, and there are also capital sporting, facilities, “ I think It is an excellent thing for Rowland that, the College have acquired this estate,” Mr. Hltchln told pur reporter yesterday. “ The College authorities have an excellent reputatlon as landlords


;and their ownership, along with That of the Duchy of Lancaster in The Whltewell region, will safeguard Bowlarid In a good many ways.” ,

by Russian airmen in 1 9 3 6 , Government House,’Darwin, November 8th, 1938.

Your Worship,—I am writing to thank you dnd the residents of Clitheroe for your kind message of congratulation, which I received on out arrival at Dar­ win from Egypt, It was very much appreciated, I can assure you. The flight ■was a complete success in every way, and the machines ■ never gave a moment’s anxiety. We are staying In Darwin until Satur­ day when we are off again for the Southern Capltals-Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra and Brisbane. We should remain In Australia about five weeks and return to Singapore, where the aircraft will be completely over­ hauled. This should take about a month, which means that we won’t be back In England until the end of February. Thanking you again,


Yours sincerely,

Witness’s bar was still moving slowly when Bice stepped into its path. He applied his brakes instantly, but the right side of the bumper! bar caught Rice on the lek. The wheel of the car .did not pass-over, him, nor did he have to reverse the vehicle. The reason he did nbt make a statement there was thdt he did nol feel like it, with all the men around; they were hostile. •.

That such a liberty should be taken with this beloved hymn; and upori a national occasion. Is Inexcusable.

' 'A- V .’BEBIDENT EXTENSIONS; Sir,—We In Warrlngtoh"at'ri''envious Of


Clltheroe’s 10-30 p.m. closing time and we hope our own . authorities may some day be Influenced by the. rittltude of Clltheroe arid many other place? where It has been demonstrated that the people can be trusted not to abuse freedom. My policy Is' that when people have shown themselves trustworthy, they should be given > th e ' greatest possible latitude, and In the base In question, since It was! admitted that the people concerned had given proof of their gcqd behaviour, they would appear to hgve been worthy, of further trust and deserv­ ing to escape the Insinuations against them which Mr. Robinson bases on m error of nn Individual: not/associated


with them. There can hardly be a penalty too


severe for a man who takes so mijch drink that he Is a cause of , danger on toe roads, but such men are feW and far between; to wait for an ,ambulunce for the results of their excess Would be the extreme of folly, but it Is equally foofish to penalise toe Innocent. Wisdom wojild seem to demand an edupfitlonal effort!’


Mr. Robinson makes the general state­


ment' that extensions are granted, too freely, particularly at dances. May -I ask why people should not enjoy them­ selves,- and what greater; harm Is there


In young people seeing [ the moderate consumption of drink at ri dance than in their homes? Dancing 'Is thirsty wbrk and i lf the official supply of alcohbllc beverages Is ! stopped or curtailed. Inevitably those who , dislike nim- alcbhoUc drinks or who. find them ^ - jurlous Will take- and use their, dWn supplies which will almost certainly be spirits.—Yours,

THE PERSECUTED JEWS.' Sir,—The Jewish cemeteries In : G er-


many are rapidly; filling. Hundreds of Jews dally are being beaten to deith. The other's have the choice of starving to death or committing suicide, • Tfiey are not',allowed to work; their businesses are destroyeh,[ and taken away lfijom them, j Their Innocent little children are thrown out of all schools. They [are not allowed-to speak to, other children. Everything Is Jorbldden them.' They are only ailowed to die. [ I have seen hun­ dreds of Jewish parents sitting In heart­ breaking grief at toe newly upturned graves of their dear little chlldren-^the beloved, children: they have, slowly iViastlng away of starvatlonj uptll a merciful divine death has given them


peace, and put them beyond the In- ' human tortures of Tthelr despicable persecutors. The little bunches of flowers that they tenderly place on the grave— • bought with their last lew: coppers—are wet with ; tears of sorrovrand despair. This is thq. last act of the rialddest drama the world has ever known, for they ' themselves must-quickly follow either through starvatlor. or suicide. . I have personally known many eminent Jewish’ surgeons, who have spent their lives helping the sick, that have committed suicide, becriuse their position yari hopri- ' less. ,No practice, ho money, and no chance of getting abroad. ’This cowardly persecution of the Jews is the greatest disgrace humanity has ever yet known. A pig; or a skunk would not be found dead In the,gutter with a German today. Do not forget all this persecution of the JewsTs by direct orders'of the German (Sovemmerit, It was all planned weeks ago, t}ie murder In Paris serving as an exbuse. And this Is the German Govern- m e n t -a , Government of mongrels, of cowardly, bombastic mental defectives, who are a “ cross’’ -between a leper and a lunatic, whose culture springs from the filth and dregs of the gutter. The boasted German culture o& 1938 will be


remembered and cursed until the last man dies. And this . is the Government Mr.


Chamberlain wants to be friendly with. A Government that is responsible for all the trouble in Palestine and Spain. A Government helping Japan in China to smash all ; British Interests. A Government whose ultimate aim, Is the dristnictlon of Britain., A Government that Is absorbing the English money sent by, the Chamberlain Government for .Czechoslovakia ..and using It for German rearmament.

that will put a stop to these appalling atrocities; a government that for every Jew entering one Germari'Wlll he thrown


■ I t Is the duty of all citizens In demo­ cratic' countries to vote for a government


■gut,[and'his money given to the Jew; a government that will have the courage to) put this crlmlnril, blackmailing German Government in its place.. Above all we need, a government that will annihilate Franco and Ms German and Italian Trlends; a government that will co-operate with D.S.A, and put Japan for ever out of China; a government that will help to make the world safe for democracy. . . . . Ip fact, a govern­ ment of red-blooded men, not those yiho shake when Dictators speak.
