"STAR DUST"
(By Reuter's Special Correspondent Somewhere in the Abyssinian Bush)
This is the sixth day of our trek into an unexplored wilderness and although fatigued and with rations low and trucks battered, we' have sighted our objective on the far-off horizon.
We can now look back on many score| miles of track blazed through bush and for- èst, sometimes through raging bush fires, and know that the success of our safari is assured and soon our tracks will be transformed into the first British-made road in Abyssinia.
This expedition which in neace. time would have taken weeks of careful preparation. was under- laken at 12 hours' notice, with noj different development than one would use in a trip from London to the coust.

NO 'DANGER PASSED' WHISTLE
Wardens in the Metropolitan area, who will blow their whistles to warn people of immediate lo- cal danger, are not to blow a sec ond whistle to indicate that dan- ger has passed.
This was made clear by a Min- istry of Home Security official who said:
"It will be left to the common sense of the people themselves to dec'de when the period of imi medjute danger hus. göne,”
