He Is Tending His
Bedridden Sister
Unaware that only a few miles away a cousin has for four years been spending every available penny on caring for his bedridden sister, Mrs. Mary King, 75-years-old widow, of Stanhope-gardens, Harringay, London, recently continued her search in Sheffield for relatives to whom she can leave her savings.
Mrs. King is a daughter of the late Edwin Padley, of Shef- field. She advertised in a paper for relatives to whom she could leave her money, and she had been living in the centre of the city in an effort to trace them.
She does not know that a few days after she left London a letter arrived from a cousin, Mr. Henry Wilson Padley, a Sheffield chiropodlat.
It told her of the plight of) another cousin at Millhouses, Sheffieki,
Mr. Henry Pudley said: "When I saw Mra. King's advertisement I in- mediately wrote to her in London telling her of the and case of Miss Lizzle Padly, who has been bed- ridden for four years at her home in Abbey-lane, Millhouses,

With polling in the General Elec- tlon taking place, the campaign has become more intense. A fenture of these last few days is the activity of Cabinet Ministers on platforms out- side their own constituencies.
The issue is doubtful and a very small majority is expected, which- ever way the voting goes.
