IN BRITAIN'S FRONT LINE
DOVER IS: BUILDING a new cinema. One of
Dover's biggest hotels is being redecorated. By any H.G DID
geographical standards the town. is in the front, of the front line.

Its citizens have been reminded. of the fact. by

Not Up Against It
The town flies a barrage of bal- loons,. there are men and women uniform everywhere the W.R.N.S. are the best-looking of all and there is barbed wire along the front. The shops in the main streets have wooden shut- ters that are whipped into position when a warning sounds. Defensive guns and aircraft are always at the alert, as the grateful town can testify.
So, looking at Dover, you know that there is a war on, with an enemy close at hand and active, What you could not find would be and sign that Dover is damaged or that it feels up against it.

Damage.

TOLL
The attention of Six John: Anderson, Minister
Home Security, har been drawn to the case of a Home Guard who was fined 10s. after refusing to pay a toll of a shilling to take his car along a road while on duty.
The Home Guard is Mr. Frapk Morgan, company director, of Plymouth Road, Penarth, Glam.
He chose to go to gaol for seven days rather than pay the finc.
When the chairman of the an eminent: Penarth magistrates announced British woman, Professor Winifred the fine, Mr. Morgan said: "Rath- C. Cullis, D.Sc., C.B.E., who iser than pay; I will go to gnol.

The magistrates suspended the sentence for seven days.

Ao Mr. Morgan left the court the chairman said: “If, after the war you raies a "petition for the abolition of the toll-gate; 1 am tura you will receive the,,sup- port of Penarth residente?!
