The great cities are not at pre- sent seriously affected
by the drought but in some of the amali towns it has become necessary to curtail slightly the supply of water, while in many rural areas, particu larly in the high lying villages, a difficult situation has arisen.
A curious feature of the drought Is that it has severely affected those rous where, in normal years, the rainfall is greatly in excess of the. average of the whole country, such as amall places in the Lake Dis- trict and rural areas in Wales.

The Cave, about 3,000, years ago, was the home of a tribe, whose pottery and bone implements, un- earthed by archologists, have help ed experts, to reconstruct the mode of living in the
