Fund To Replace Lost Stock

Midland

Farmers in an East area are helping by private sub- scription two or three of their fellow farmers who have suffered loss through air raids.

Mr. D. Quibell, M... P., has started a fund to raise £150 for Mr. W. Brumby, a dairy farmer whose cows were killed when a salvo of bombs destroyed his .cowshed. Another farmer has already received £200 for the loss of crops and cattle.

Mr. Quibell said that under .present regulations farmers could ..not obtain compensation until after the war. In the case of Mr. Brumby, he had lost his principal means of livelihood, and the fund was to help him replace the cows. Government Plan Dropped

Mr. C. C. Taylor, a Farmer's Union branch secretary, said that there was no Government insur- ance scheme for farmers covering damage in air raids. At the out- break of war the Government did propose to bring, in some legisla- tion compelling farmers to insure

were so high that the N.F.U. op- posed the scheme.

"The N.F.U. has a private pool to assist its own members," added Mr. Taylor, “but not all farmers are members of the Union." He thought it possible that the Gov crnment would give the matter further consideration now that it' had been found ---possible-to-ex- tend the amount of compensation payable to ordinary citizens who Iost their houses or furniture.

ROOF SPOTTERS FOR P.O.

Departmental chiefs of the Past Office and representatives of the staff associations are trying to work out ways of improving_the services of the Department dur- air raid' warnings. They arc particularly concerned about three. of them, mails, trunk calls and telephoned telegrams.

One likely consequence is that post offices throughout the country. will appoint roof-top watchers and carry on as normally after the

sirens have sounded until danger

draws near,

"There has been no great com-

plaint about the mails," an official in London said.. "The principal difficulty about trunk calls is that so many lines have to be taken over by the authorities, as soon as the sirens sound. The exchanges ́always go on, working,

"It is true," he added, "that there has been, no contact with telegrams during recent raid warnings. That subject is being discursed at a meeting.”
