Nv ALLAN NEvINS.

Some observers who have returned
from brief visits to Great Britain
have emphasized the normallty OF
life in the island, but they have not
seen far beneath the surface. Inc
British character still reveals the
strength that it has shown for CEN
turies past. Many British ways are
preserved with extraordinary tenac-
itv. But economically. socially, in
tellectually, and even governmental
", Britain is undergoing profound
transformation.
Even a first impression OF Eng
land today should dispel any idea OF
normality. For what at once strikes
a traveller, who has known the coun-
try well. is its shabby, unkept, semi
dilapidated look. Normally Britain
is the trimmest, neatest, and in some
respects prettiest of countries, It's
streets clean, its stone and brick
buildings sprucely kept, its lawns and
gardens delightful. Today the coun-
TRIP seems neglected. Houses, shops,
fences and vehicles have gone un-
painted. Only the most urgent re-
pairs have been made on buildings.
Indeed, any construction work cost
ing more than f100 (about s4O0) re-
quires a license, and the government
has Systematically diverted painters,
carpenters and plumbers to wartime
tasks. Iron railing have been torn
down for scrap. Roads, as 1 found
when I motored over Central Eng
land to address meetings, are full
of holes and rough spots worn by
heavy lorries. In the railway cars
upholstery is worn threadbare; in
many homes furniture, rugs and
wallpaper are growing dingy. Add
to all this the terrible wreckage OF
the air raids and the island shows a
decided physical deterioration.

Old Clothes Made to Do.

The people, especially London. are
more shabbily dressed than Of old;
they wear old suits, old dresses, old
shoes. To be sure, many women
under 40 are in uniform, and they
and the soldiers look fresh and neat.
But civilian clothing is rationed on
66-coupons-a-year basis, which
gives every household just about as
many garments as a family spend
ing s3 to "a (s12 to $50 for all its

summer DAYS saw many girls on the
streets with no stockings at all.
Top hats and evening dress are sell
dom seen in even the smarteSt res
taurants. All this is part OF the
general stringency of materials:
A stringency that runs through
leather goods. rubber goods, paper
goods (even wrapping paper, and
such metal goods as razor blades,
typewriters and tinware, and that
extends even to corsets or girdles
and TO false teeth.
Of course all this is natural part
of the war, and the traveller soon
grows used to it, Only some special
incident brings it to mind; leaving
Kings Gross station for Scotland in
May, for example, I saw my fellow
passengers looking excitedly at some
bright object-it was string of
freshly painted railroad coaches. the
first most of us had seen for months!
And it should be said that much Of
the British landscape has been i'm
proved by wartime changes. AS
contracts for outdoor advertising
have lapsed, billboards and signs
have been taken down. Many ham,
