that Committee has made every effort to avoid embarrassing memt of the public who have appea before it and that this" particular misunderstanding is regretted by all the members.

OUTBREAK FOOD
"On 2nd August last a letter
from received
Messrs. Johnson, Stokes & Master, Soli- citors, applying for permission | ➡ ➡ for Mrs. Thomson to return on the grounds that you were un able to support her in Australia and yourself here."
This was the complete reference made to that letter.
THEORY
Britain's first "hospitality squad" is in action in a Norfolk village.
It is the advance guard of a new army which has started a "key of the door" scheme for lonely:sol- diers.
The scheme-entirely organised by housewives-aims at making soldiers "one of the family."
:
A member of the squad invites a soldier from a near-by encamp- ment to visit her home.
He is given; a hot bath if he a choice of wants one-offered good reading and writing facilities.
After that comes a good, supper. and, then he is driven back to join his' unit.
