"Women must learn to live together. That is the only real solution to the billeting problem,” In these words Mr. H. R. Blundell, billeting officer for Chesham, Bucks, sums up the position, not only in that town, but wherever mothers and children from bombed areas in London are located.

Mr. Blundell, who has a thir- teen-hour day, seven days a week, and has had only one meal away from the office since the. "blitz" started. In his ceaseless efforts to deal with the evacuee situation is a sort of "Father Confessor" as well as, official,

West was the criminal, for he could have defeated the contract. He should have discarded instead of over-ruffing on the third round of hearts.

But if West had held his fire and kept his powder dry, he'd have won twó trump tricks instead of only one.

If West had discarded, South would have used the Quean of trumps to force out West's Ace.. Then South's Jack and ten of trumps would pick up West's small trumps; but the nine of trumps would then be high for the setting trick instead of fall- ing ingloriously to South;"
