FEEDING
Some Practical Observations on How Things Are
I HAVE recently been mak ing some personal investi- gations into the incomes and expenses of some of the poorer sections of the community.
The Government's free milk scheme for children of five and under and for expectant and nursing mothers has proved our awareness for providing nutrition. The adequate scheme costs the Government £7,500,000 per annum.
The Government is also subsidising many of the essen- tial foods and endeavouring to control the prices of essential commodities, and trying to prevent profiteering with its concomitant inflation. It lies with those who have educa- tional influence to co-operate in accuring that the best use la made of what is available. Here are some facta-

We can't afford to buy milk; butter is too dear. Three of the children get free meals in the school feeding centre, and we are thankful.”

They observe they are unable to use meal coupons because meat and bacon are too dear. Their chill- dren are without boots most of the year because boots are out of their reach. They buy one pint of milk a day and two tins of milk a week. The children in school have free dinners.

This family reports they pleased their children get free meals at school, but think thero could be more variety In the menu, Chil- dren get sick of soup so many days a week. They cannot afford to buy their allowance of meat, bacon and butter. They buy nine pints of week and two tins. Not one milk

Their observations are that they seldom can afford their rations of butter, and that eggs are beyond them. They only buy tin milk, but now get two pints a day free for the two children under five. Two of the children get free milk in school, and four free dinners. The dinners in school are too much stews. With rising prices, money doesn't go very far. Boots are a very difficult proposition owing to their cost, and children break them so quickly.
These statistics upon analysis show that certain sections at the people must find life very har, and food scarce and dear for their bud- getting. Cheap carbohydrates are their staple diet. What a boon must the Government milk scheme be to these people, for milk contains all the vitamins and essential foods.

New V.C. Afraid POCKET CARTOON
of Dentist's Chair
By R, L: Marshall
TWENTY-THREE-YEAR-OLD Jack Mantle, hero of the sea Tnd intest winner of the V.C., was very afraid of one thing
when ashore the dentist's chair.
This, and other intimate details of his life were. re- venled to mo by his mother.
At her cottage home at sho Shirley, Southampton,
told me how "very, very gen- tle" was this acting leading seaman who fought his gun to the death in the 6,600-ton merchant cruiser Foylebank.
"Jack didn't seem to be of the heroic typo," said Mrs. Mantle.
"In fact, he was so gentle that we all used to say ho ought to have changed places with his eldest sister, who is the toughest of the family.
At school: he was never outstanding, either in sport or study.
"What he liked most as a youngster were days in the country with the Boy Scouts.
"When he was 16 he went Into the Navy. Ho, took to the sea at once.
"He became a regular swot, and studied to get on....
"We did not hear of his V.C. until we found the house. besieged by neighbours and friends scrambling to bring. the news..
Then, at last, we really be lieved the stories of his bra- very told to us by his ship mates after his death.
"Knowing Jack as we did it seemed impossible that he could have borne so much,"

They're Jealous
of the Gestapo
By Victor Schiff CTORIES
of widespread corruption in occupied territory, and rivalry between the Gestapo and the German Army were told me yesterday.
My informant is a Belgian business man who has just arrived in this country from France.
Racketeers
VICTIMS of a new racket which has spread through Holland, Belgium and France, are people who wish to leave on bu- occupied territory siness, or as refugees-and can afford to pay the prico of an easy passage.
The racketers are not con- fined to the Gestapo. A friend who needed a milltary travel- ling pass to leave Belgium was told by the German Army officer with whom he had to "deal":
"I don't see why the Ges- tapo alone should make all the profit."
Cashing-in
SCOPE for this sort of cor- ruption has been widened by.. the German order that all ap- plications for exit visas from France must be sent to Vichy. The delay thus Incurred is usually five weeks."
But it is possible to ignore Vichy and yet obtain permits. "Only," says my informant, "It costs a lot of money.”
For it appears that many French Civil servants in the unoccupied areas have seized the opportunity to "cash-in" on the racket.
Overlords
The only reservation is that they may not act unless accompanied by a French police official..
men
There are scores of these Gestapo in Marseilles, watching the enjoy preferential ports. They treatment in their hotels, especially over food,
They order, and generally get, whatever they like.
In oor big hotel they demanded that Jewish guests should be served. in a separate
dining-room. This was done,
The hotel staff was polite and with French and sympathetic foreign Jewish guests, but extreme- ly obsequious to the Germans.
On the whole the population in Marseilles behaves extraordinarily well towards the tens of thousands of stranded refugees. The spirit of the population is definitely hostile anti- to Pelain and not at all British.
Armlets For Jews
IN Antwerp, not long ago, the local Rexist leaders, who considered themselves rulers of the town un- der German protection, urged the German milltary Governor to com- pel Jews to wear yellow ormicts.
They told the Governor that this was the urgent wish of the over- whelming majority of the people:
The Governor believed it, and issued a decres to that effect.
Next day practically every Jew was accompanied by Aryan friends. They were seen walking arm- in-arm, or chatting together in cafos.
The Governor was furious with the Rexists who had fooled him, and repealed the order within the next 24 hours..
Germans Fall Out
THE German Army in Antwerp and the Nazi black shirts and brown shirts are not getting on well together.
"A few weeks ago a clash occurred between these rival bodies in which, two brown shirts were stabbed.
