Since nothing is to be done to words the Lido" this year, we hope that the Government will take a. sympathetic view of this question of bathing facilities.

him for gallantry in saving the life of a Chinese woman on the 20th May, 1939.

Mr. F. Mason a most sympa thetic and unselfish accompanist, was at the piano. The singers were: Mrs. E. Snowdon Jones (soprano), Mrs. N. Mathieson (con tralto), Mr. H. G. Annis (tenor), and Dr. L T Ride (baritone), & good team and all in excellent voice.
It may be disgracefully insular, but the fact remains that most English people, except the really musical folk, prefer listening to songs in their own language and prefer the typical English ballad or traditional air to any other.
