without extravaganza. The supply of
corn is much larger this week than last
green, wax, lima and fava beans are all
plentiful and in the low priced brackets

None of these English child refu-

where a child has been given the
choice he or she has wanted to stay
at home. One boy wrote to his
mother from his school in the South:
"Of course, have decided. I want
to stay and help defend England.
We saw some lovely gulls over the

In most cases they are not given
the choice. Either they have been
brought up to do what they are
asked without question. or more
often, they have seen the terrible
struggle their fathers and mothers
have gone through to come to the
right decision and are not going to
make it worse by being difficult.
Very often the father is either in
the army or navy or serving some
how, perhaps in England. or just as
likely far away in the East. or in
Africa, and does not know when he
will be back, or what his fate may
be. The mother has Joined the
