"The first time we got the order to bomb Berlin we were thrilled," said a Pilot-Officer. "Now it's just another trip.

"It's not a comfortable journey ja motor-cycle, complained that because of the distance.".

Occasionally, the German anti- aircraft batteries keep firing at them and the weather is not al- ways pleasant.

"But we cruise around till we hit the targets, which are easy, to find," he said.

There's really nothing to the Berlin trip", said a Sergeant- Pilot. "It's as easy as riding a bicycle."

there was "no excitement at all!"

1,800 GIRLS CALL

One thousand girls working in the carpet factories at Kidder-· minster were urgently required to go to a munitions factory some considerable distance away for a special three weeks' job.

Eighteen-hundred volunteered. The call came from the Govern-. ment at four o'clock in the after- noon, just as the girls were finish- ing a hard day's work at their. benches in Kidderminster.

But the same night, the 300 of them comprising the first shift went straight from their work, without returning home, to the munitions factory, There they worked, all, through the night until dawn next day.

One thousand girls have been released from the carpet factories for this special munitions job.

"We are very proud of them," said an official of one of the firms in Kidderminster, who has tem- porarily released 300 girls.

"They are working at the muni tions factory on three shifts of eight hours during the day and night. When the job is finished: we shall take them back,

"Many of them have to get up bat Tour o'clock in the morning and cycle for more than an hour to the rallway statión to catch the train.

“After a rail journey they walk to the munitions factory.
