STEADY TRICKLE OF GERMAN 'PLANES OVER EAST COAST
THE GERMAN AIR FORCE sent a steady trickle of 'planes over the eastern and south- eastern counties of England yesterday, after leaving London and most of Britain severely alone for eight consecutive nights and almost all the intervening hours of daylight.
An Air Ministry communique issued last evening stated it was believed some of the lone raiders were fulfilling the purpose of re- connaissance to report on the weather.
The London area had four alerts, After the third a basket of incen- diary bombs fell in one district.
Trolley-buses were held up while wardens, police and civi- lians, benefiting from the exper- ience of the recent fire-raising at- tempts by night, quickly put out, the incendiaries with sandbags conveniently resting against lamp- posts and at street corners.

HER CURLS TO BUY ARMS
Ringlets shorn from the head of a girl eight years ago and treasur- ed ever since by her mother have been sent by the girl to the Lord Mayor of Newcastle to be auction- ed in aid of War Weapons Week.
"We have cherished the eight beautiful ringlets over since they were cut off when Margaret was ten", Mrs. Linsley, the mother, told a reporter at her home in Swimburn-terrace, Dipton, near Newcastle-on-Tyne.
"They were far too much work for me, for I have two boys as well as Margaret, and with such a household to run I found I could no longer keep her curls spick and span all the time."
Mrs. Linsley said she and Mar- garet both felt that the ringlets might attract some attention and help to support the War Weapons Week.
