But when the crews reached the their objective in Germany tea was cold. Disappointed, the airmen threw the buttles over- board.

When this story became known in the area where the squadron is stationer, local Rotary Clubs and Round Table organisations set out to find vacuum flasks for the boys.

Using precious petrol coupons, members and their wives comb. ed chemists' and hardware shops for fifty miles around. Vacuum flasks, long and short, thin and fat, began to pour into the

bomber station.

"We are grateful," one airman told a reporter. "Only the air crews know how cold long-dis- tance night flights can be in win-

ter.

"We look forward to a hot drink during the flight. None of us take spirits when on business,' Tea or coffee is nectar.

"Apart from the difficulty of buying vacuum flasks just now, GO many are broken during flights that replacement is a problem."

A Rotarian said: "We had n stroke of luck in our search for flasks. My wife discovered a vil- lage chemist with a stock of two dozen. At first he would not sell us the lot. But when he knew they were for the R.A.F. boys he even allowed discount."

BRITISH MISSION IN VENEZUELA

The British mission which has been visiting Latin-America un- der the leadership of Lord Wil- lingdon has concluded a five-day visit to Venezuela, during which its members were guests of the Government and were lavishly entertained by the many friends of Britain's' cause.

They had a series of conferences with Government officials ..and leaders of commerce and econo- mic life.

The mission expressed satisfac- tion with the results achieved and the universal sympathy it en-.. countered for the cause of the Allies-Reuter.
