several weeks ago. 1t smashed
the house so that it can't be
lived in again. Mrs. Rogers has
seen snapshots of how the house
looks now. She hopes that some
day it can be repaired but she
doesn't think too much about that.
She thinks about how lucky it was
that Mrs. Rogers wasn't there when
the bomb fell and that so far he
has escaped unscathed.
Besides, Mrs. Rogers is too busy
to think about property losses.
She Keeps Chickens
In London before the war she
and her husband went to the
theater good deal. They liked
night clubs and social life. Mrs.
Rogers entertained and her after
Moons and evenings were filled with
thousand and one social activi-
ties.
What does she do now?
Well, she keeps chickens for one
thing She never met a chicken
before except in butcher shop or
on the dinner table. Now she has
eight hens. She's proud of the two
or three eggs they lay each day and
mighty glad she has them to take
care of too with eggs so expensive
and hard to get.
She has vegetable garden as
well as flowers and rose arbors.
She raises potatoes and onions and
carrots and you can tell by look
mt her hands that she knows
what makes vegetables grow.
Then Mrs. Rogers has her eva
cuees to look after. The evacua-
tion business is a problem on both
sides. What happened to Mrs
Rogers case was this. The local
billeting officer inspected her house
and decided there was room to
billet two evacuees. They had tC

odic visits and the fact that her
10 year old son would be home
from boarding school three months
of the year.

plumb out of business in the

That is to say, the last man
will then put his checks back

man is Mr.. Naughton himself,
though we think a better bet is
