"You're picking winners well today--- see if you can tell this whisky.”

"It's White Horse, of course—

I could tell it blindfold

"

The rare and subtle character of White Horse sets it apart from other whisky. You can

any tell it by its exquisite bouquet alone. But it is the perfect blending of fragrance with mell- owness and smoothness which makes White Horse Whisky the equal of a fine liqueur. The millions of gallons of finest Scotch whisky matured and maturing ensure that the quality of White Horse never varies.

WITH FORCES ON FINLAND'S FRONTS

*London, To-day.

HAVING JUST RETURNED from Rovaneimi, Finnish head- quarters, the BBC Observer in Finland yesterday broad- cast his impressions. One of the first things he did on his return to Helsinki after 3 weeks' absence was to buy the English newspapers.

He was interested to learn from one of them that their Stockholm correspondent had reported that Soviet 'planes had practically levelled · Rovaneimi to the ground and that it was uninhabitable.

OVER BAIL:

POLICE VIEW

The BBC Observer said that he and been several other journalists have living in Rovanelmi for the past week "In considerable comfort" and that that seems to be the case with the rest of the town.

Of course, the Russians did do a lot of damage in two large raids a fort- night ago, but life goes on. When he visited his bank, he found it had sus- tained a direct hit and business was

Mr. Lo objected strongly. His client, he said, had been detained for 48 hours and he could see no reason why the police opposed the bail, unless they could produce evidence to show that his client was likely to escape.

"This is a case taken in the public interest. Further evidence might be destroyed if this man is allowed out on bail," submitted the prosecuting officer.

According to the prosecution, the forged tickets purported to be issued by the Hong Kong and Cinema Company, Ltd.

Mr. P. Wynter-Blyth represented the Tramway Company.

When defendant made no reply to Mr. Justice Lindsell's question as to why he had wasted the Court's time and incurred additional costs,

Hardly had they reached a frozen river than the air-raid alarm sounded. Emulating the Russian patrols when they want to move quickly, they dof- fed their skis and ran back up the hill, arriving at the top completely out of breath.

They couldn't go a yard further and so took advantage of the only avall- able cover-bathing huts!-which, as the drone of 'planes drew ever nearer, did not seem the best place one would choose.
