And the war comes. too, To the
people of the middle brackets. The
young mstrons who In America
would be busy with Junior
League bazaars in Wichita. Kan.
or Youngstown, O., and their hus-
bands who work in America at
offices in Wall Street or La Sale

We have a friend in London who
is a banker. When the war began
his wife and two youngsters were
at summer resort village on the
west coast of Cornwall. some so
miles from Plymouth.
Let's call these people Mr.. and
Mrs. Rogers. Mrs. Rogers and the
children have stayed right on
there in the seaside house where
they had spent the summer. They
leased the place for the duration.
More Besides Bombs
There haven't been any bombs
and in the quiet of this little viii
lRge you are as far from war as
II is possible to get in Britain.
How far that is you can judge for
yourself. Headlines TO the con-
trary there are more than bombs
to war in England.
Twice since the war started
Mrs. Rogers has gone To Lon
don, each time for only n few
DAYS. More fortunate than
/ most. her husband has man
aged To get down to see her
/ every month OF 50. They sell
dom can telephone each other
since air action started over
England. Official priority
/ calls fill the lines. So they
write frequently. Letters take
two days-often longer.
A bomb fell across the street
from our friends beautiful London
house several weeks ago. II
smashed the house so that II can't
be lived in again. Mrs. Rogers
hopes that some day ii can be re-
paired but she doesn't think too
much about that. She thinks
about how lucky IL was that Mr..
/ 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

Keeps Chickens Now
In London before the war she
and her husband went to the thea
ter good deal They liked night
clubs and social life Mrs Rogers
entertained and her afternoons
and evenings were filled with u
thousand and one social activities.
What does she do now >
Well. she keeps chickens for one
thing. She never met n 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

and onions and carrots and
you can tell BY n look nj her
hands that SHE knows what
makes vegetables grow.
Then, Mrs. Rogers has her
evacuees to look after. The
evacuation business il problem
on both sides. What happened in
Mrs. Rogers case was this. The
local billeting officer inspected
her house and decided there was
room to billet two evacuees. They
had to take into account Mrs.
Rogers periodic visits and the
fact that her 1O-year-old son would
he home from boarding school
three months OF the year.
Mother Was Bored
The first evacuees to arrive
were London mother and her
small child. Mrs. Rogers was
given $40 week for each
evacuee. That's the official bill
letting allowance paid by the gov
eminent.
The London mother was bored
with life in the little village. After
few weeks her sister was evacu-
ated TO the same town. and she
found n small cottage which they
could rent cheaply 30 they moved
out.
Mrs Rogers then took the
initiative. She located the wife OF
London workman with six
year-old child who wanted to get
into safe area. They moved
down. the woman going to work
for Mrs. Rogers as n cook. This
worked fine until the woman got
tired of being away from her hus-
band just before Christmas she
went back to London.
That means there will be two
new evacuees al the Rogers house
soon. Maybe the evacuees will
like it and maybe they won't. The
same goes for Mrs. Rogers. It's
gamble on both sides.
Maybe they moved in in time
for Christmas dinner, which was
proving a problem for Mrs. Rogers
the last time we saw her She was
saving her rooster for Christmas
because turkeys can't be obtained
In Cornwall.
Flock Minus Rooster
A few weeks before the holiday
she heard of farmer who had ~
newborn pigs That sounded like
sucking pig might be possible for
Christmas dinner. But the farmer
said that while he'd like 10 sell
her one he couldn't under the min
istry of agriculture regulations.
He couldn't sell less than two. one
Of which had 10 be kept alive and
raised to maturity. He added that
by Christmas the sucking pigs
would tip the scales at about so
pounds apiece.

Nineteen Victories
With 34-27 Upset

With a string Of nineteen consee-

only two days remaining to the

members OF the league-leading Ian.
dy's quintet were envisioning an
indicated season for the team I'M
til Monday evening when the spec
tacular Central Specially five rude
ly brought an end to their high
hopes by blasting out 1927 win.
Although Landy's had clinched the
league champion ship last Wednes-
day, II was out TO protect its un-
blemished record Monday but didn't
prove quite up to the task OF stop
ping the Specially avalanche.
Taking command OF the game
from the start Central Speciality
didn't encounter too much trouble
from Landy's which had heretofore
been considered unbeatable. Boast
ing a fast woodworking outfit
with the main emphasis on team
work, Landy's cut a wide swath
through the not too we'll organized
other teams in the league. and I'm.
I'll Monday had encountered very
little resistance. In both previous
meetings with Central Specially,
Landy's had successfully hand
cuffed their opponents by the sim
Pile method of concentrating all
their energies on stopping Johnny
Schwall, high-scoring pivot ace,
around whom was built the Spe.
cialty attack.
This method failed utterly Mon
day, however, as the remaining
members of the Specially five TOOK
up the scoring burden. Yet Schwall,
in spite OF the fact that two men
were covering him most Of the
time, managed to slip eight count
ers through the hoop to tie for
top scoring honors in the game.
Chuck Sampler and George Everett,
both of Central Specially. also col
lected eight points to help their
cause nightly. Two members of
the defeated Landy's five also tied
at eight with Red Goodsman tally
ing three field goals and two free
shots, and Heimerdinger scoring
four field goals.

ended in forfeits with Young Mems
