LIFE IN LONDON NOT SO BAD

What it feels like to be London at present, with all the restrictions in force, is humourously des- cribed by the father of a Shanghai resident in a letter to his son, just re- ceived. The letter is dated August 2, before the in- tensification of the Nazi air attacks upon the city. Before that date, never- theless, there had been a number of raids, though the mass attacks did not begin in earnest until August 8. follows:-

At the training stations the "crew spirit" is built up and pilots, observers, air gunners and wire-nothing less operators are taught their responsibilities to each other. The pilot's life may depend on the air gunner and in the same way his safety depends upon the pilot:

The maintenance of its forma-100000000000000000. tion is a factor upon which the security of a force of bombers largely depends and this calls for instant complete discipline and obedience to orders from the pi- the lots. There are times when gunner must hold his fire though his natural inclination may be to give his opponent every round of. ammunition he has got and the wireless operator, who works un- der conditions of extreme difficul- ty, must devote all his attention to his job.

In all these qualities British air- men are supreme and every week the stations of the Bomber Com- mand Training Group are turning out thousands of eager young men, ranging in age from 19 to 23, who have been taught how to carry out all kinds of bombing attneks and have also studied fighting tactics and the problems .of evading.enemy defences.

They have attended lectures on airmanship, reconnaissance, operations, tactics and meteoro- logy. In the air their Instruc tion is equally Intensive.

Help For Bookmakers

"Newspapers are now very small and contain practically except advertisements, war news, divorces, an odd mur- der or two and something about sports. What a life! We expect to resume our racing next week for the sake of the bookmakers who, it is sad to say, have been reduced to smoking one cigar at a time and having six meals a day. I think I mentioned that next year's Derby may be run In, the Tower Moat at the same, time as the Grand National to save oats?
