ANY OLD TIME IS THE RIGHT TIME IN LONDON
By NEA Service

London, Feb. 27-Take Gerald Jones. He's what Britain's pre-war politicians called the little man. Not bum, not valued factory worker, just one of the army of white collar workers who during all the years of peace regularly caught the 8:16 each morning into London, did a good days work at small job, then plod- ded back tothe station in time to make the 5:35.
 When the air raids struck London Gerald Jones began missing his trains. The newspapers called it "in- trrupted communications" But Ger aid Jones didn't lose his job, and though the tribulationS of working in beleagured city are many, there are compensations.

 "Then after the blitz started and began to come in an hour or so late every morning, he gave 1t up. Now he is so short of staff that he's glad to see me at any old time" TAKING HIS
 OWN TIME
 But it's the end of clock-watching that pleases Jones most. Like the other day. for instance. He was a bit late getting up because he slept through the ringing of his alarm clock. But instead of rushing to the office he first had a breakfast, be- cause on cold mornings one must start with a good meal.
 When he arrived at the station later than usual. the cratic town hall clock which now has booming anti-aircraft gun at It's base. said he was only just getting out of bed. Then the train come in but though
