Letter From London
By A Special Correspondent
Londoners now speak of the nir-ralds as "To-night's Per- formance" and in fact the bombing is what the theatrical world would describe 05 "Nightly-Sundays Included".

On this occasion, when the battle has come to ail alike, the King has taken the Queen with him on visits to bonibed areas.

Local shelters naturally tend to got the same crowd to- gether, night after night, and 4. now neighbourliness is growing. One of the tube station shelters, Swiss Cot- tage, produces its own news bulletin, by means of a type-
writer and duplicator. A col-
lection is taken each night at the rate of a penny a head, from which a sum is deducted to buy additional equipmont. Dustbins, for instance, are provided for the litter left by shelterers.
