The Canadian - built tor- vettes making their maiden voyages and the crews, most of them fresh from Canadian naval barracks, were impati- ent. They wanted action. And before the trip was over the sailors had all the excitement they wanted.
The crews had barely set- tled to routine sea duties when a Junkera 88 swooped from a cloud or a merchant ship straggling behind a convoy. Before the warships could swing their anti-aircraft guns two bombs screamed down.
One dropped into the sea, but the other struck the mer- chant ship's bridge. A puff of smoke rose, and the ship's engines stopped. Corvettes covering the starboard flank opened fire, but the Nazi zoomed into the cloud.

Britain's Health Mystery
The United States is send- ing to Britain a committee of American medical men to try and find out why the people have come through the win- ter's blitz with better health than in the years of peace..
Medical men generally are completely baffled by the nation's fitness. They feared that, after nights of crowding, in air raid shelters and ex- posure to all weathers on A.R.P. and fire-watching, epidemics would sweep Britain like a prairie fire.
In fact, there have been fewer cases of scarlet fever, diphtheria, pneumonia and typhoid fever, and only half the number of deaths from in- fluenza. Whooping cough and meningitis have alone been rather more prevalent than usual.
Britain's own doctors offer' various explanations of the mystery among them the dis- persal of densely populated areas, the improved system of health supervision, the spread of education in preventive measures, fewer people at "the pictures" and in other public places.
All, however, are agreed that the busy, hazardous life led by 45,000,000 people leaves them neither the time nor the inclination to brood over minor ailments. The war has taken them "out of themselves."
