DUKE'S VICAR PERSECUTED Boycotts From
Pulpits'

The Rev. Robert Anderson Jardine, former Vicar of St. Paul's, Darlington, who married the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, complains bitterly of "persecution" by the Church of England.
While denying reports that he is penniless, he admits that he is struggling hard to make ends meet.
In an interview in his home in Hollywood, he said: "My wife and I are not destitute or friendless, but my American tour has not been financially successful yet. It is pretty hard to start afresh at 60, especially in a new country.
"I find that the main interest in me in America is that I mar- ried the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and I did not set out to capitalise it.

The Duke accepled Mr. Jardine's offer by telegram through his solici- tors, and the Bishop of Fulham, head of the Anglin Church in Europe. then announced officially that if Mr. Jardine performed the ceremony he would do so without the authority of the Church.
Some months after the wedding Mr. Jurdine resigned from his living at Darlington and went to Americ on lecture tour.

A.R.P. POSTER GIRL RIDES, SWIMS-
IS NOT ENGAGED
We now know, on the authority of Women's Voluntary Services for A.R.P., the kind of girl who may be considered a "typically English girl.”
She is Miss Barbara Kershaw, who has been chosen to take the place of the girl whose face originally appeared on the prize-winning A.R.P. poster designed to persuade women to offer their services.
It became known that the photograph of Girl No. 1 came from Berlin, and it was feared that she might be German.
Hence a search through 2,000 photographs by Lady Reading and Mr. Frank Pick, judges in the poster com- petition, for a girl who could be guaranteed not to be foreign.
