Young adults are usually suscep-

hands it is one of the safest of all
operations. As a rule the patient is
well and ready for work again with
in three weeks following an opera

Of social worker Jensen. II is an
innovation IN the social picture,
and is run by a woman barrister
named Stella Penley.
The first day it opened. 1t did a
land office business. The men and
women who walk through the
door OF Pilgrim House on the
island invariably are concerned
about three questions: Can they
get a rent adjustment? Can they
hold back some of the rent money
until the landlord does his share
in repairing the bombed home :?
Are they entitled to government
aid ?
Legal advice is free and II any
need a solicitor to represent them
in court on greater difficulties,
that also is provided free. To the
people OF this island, help such
as this almost signifed the arrival
OF the millennium. Legal help
they always wanted and needed, ="
says Mrs Jensen, but they didn't
get it until the Pilgrim Trust did
something about the matter"
Both Mrs. Jensen and Miss Pen
ley believe that this Poor Mans
Lawyer" idea is the forerunner
of a social service which you will
find throughout England, after the
war.

When a man survives a bomb,
but discovers half his house is
demolished. his rent isn't reduced
automatically to compensate for
the unusable room. He may try,
sometimes. to get the landlords
agent to make an adjustment, but
without success. II the tenant
doesn't pay, the agent slsps
court order on him. The worker
is then summary told to pay up
by a Judge, who may or may not
agree with the common justice OF
the problem. The judge is duty
bound to execute the law as it
still exists.
So in addition to the high ex-
plosives which MAIN and kill,
the people who live near this is
land factory have TO worry about
legal entanglements.
Factory workers can't afford
lawyers. and until recently there
was no other help open to them
when they tangled with the law.
Now, however, there is the Pill
grim's Civilian Advisory Bureau.

MUST PAY RENT
ON DAMAGED HOMES

Walking through these streets
with Mrs. Elain Jensen, the social
worker Of this area. who got her
sociology degree at the University
of Toronto ten years ago and who
has been working in and around
the island for eight. you see
bomb damage and deserted streets.
But the bomb damage is not wide
spread, just an occasional two or
three houses crushed to the ground
in every other street.
The factory damage. however,
was repaired long ago. and now
full crews are again working two
shifts every twenty-four hours.
And the workers are living in
their homes again. But these
homes are ones which a southern
sharecropper would probably

Yet they like these homes bet

in country billets. and that is one
reason why evacuated families
keep returning TO the island.
Another reason is the chance
of working again in the factory
where already they have worked
nearly a lifetime.
The most powerful magnet
though, says Mrs. Jensen, is the
curious law that a landlord still
can collect full rent from a home
