BRITAIN'S FARM WORKERS HAVE THEIR COATS OFF TO HELP WAR EFFORT
Victory may depend on food and I can assure my fellow-farm workers in the British Empire that farm work- ers in Britain have got their coats off to help our country in its hour of need," said MR. B. A. FROST, an agricul- tural worker, when he broadcast from London yesterday in the series, WORKING TOGETHER.”
"We are not frightened of! Herr Hitler's bombs nor of his! threat of invasion," said Mr. Frost. "If he ever attempts to land on these shores he will find our army and the Home Guard ready for him. Let us hope the time will come soon when Hitler and his gangsters realise that the game is up and that the spirit of Britain is unconquerable."
