Fund To Replace
Lost Stock
Farmers in an East Midland area are helping by private sub- scription two or three of their fellow farmers who have suffered loss through air raids.
Mr. D. Quibell, M. P., has started a fund to raise £150 for Mr. W. Brumby, a dairy farmer whose cows were killed when p salvo of bombs destroyed his Cowshed. Another farmer, has already received £200 for the loss of crops and cattle.
·Mr. Quibell said
that under present regulations farmers could not obtain compensation until after the war. In the case of Mr. Brumby, he had lost his principal means of livelihood, and the fund was to help him replace the cows.
Government Plan Dropped
Mr. C. C. Taylor, a Farmer's Union branch secretary, said that there was no Government insur- ance scheme for farmers covering damage in air raids. At the out- break of war the Government did propose to bring in some legisla- tion compelling farmers to insure their stocks,

were so high that the N.F.U. op- posed the scheme.
"The N.F.U. has a private pool to assist its own members,” added Mr. Taylor, "but not all farmers are members of the Uniên.” He thought it possible that the 'Gov- ernment would give the matter further consideration now that it had been found possible to ex- tend the amount of compensation payable to ordinary citizens. who lost their houses or furniture.

ROOF SPOTTERS FOR P.O.
Departmental chiefs of the Post Office and representatives of the staff associations · are trying sto work out ways of improving the services of the Department: dur- air raid warnings. They are particularly concerned about three of them, mails, trunk calls and telephoned telegrams.
One likely consequence is that post offices throughout the country will appoint roof-top watchers and carry on as normally after, the
sirens have, sounded until danger
draws near.
There has been no great com- plaint about the malls,
s" an official
[ in London asid, “The principal difficulty about trünk calls is that so many lines have to be taken over by the authorities as soon as the streng sound. The exchanges always go on working.
"It is true, he added, "that there has been no contact with telegrams during recent raidi warnings, That subject is being discussed at a meeting.".
