JA- SHORTAGE PANESE
OF SHIPS, POINTING OUT THAT NUMEROUS DANISH AND NORWEGIAN SHIPS WERE CHARTERED BY JAPANESE INTERESTS.
A movement is already afoot for the transfer of ocean liners, aggregating 150,000 tons, from ocean routes to coast- al Asiatic trades. A decision to this effect was taken by the Shipping Con- trol Committee, the "Japan Chroni- cle" reports.
Other measures advised by the Com- mittee were notably for the changing of route schedules, facilitating ships' repairs and chartering of more neu- tral ships.
The shortage will not disturb the transport of goods at least till April or May, the Committee declared.-- Havas.

It contains 50 articles, mostly socks, pullovers and scarves knitted by the women of the island.-Reuter. *** A group of islands some 1,500 miles south-south-west of St. Helena, almost midway between Capetown and Buenos Aires, Tristan da Cunha has a population of only about 150 peo- ple.
WAR BROUGHT CINEMA TO THIS VILLAGE
The war has done Staplehurst (Kent) children a good turn.
Previously their nearest cinema was eight miles away. Now they have one in the village-in a barn in the grounds of fourteenth century Splisill Court, home of Miss Christine Know- les, O.B.E.
Here, for twopence, they and evacuated children may see a good show complete with a Mickey Mouse cartoon.
CANTEEN FOR PARENTS
A canteen for parents visiting evacuated children, and, a chil- dren's library, are other amenities sponsored by Miss Knowles- Staplehurst's fairly godmother, to whom the villagers invariably go when in need of help.
