£50,000 GIFT TO THE NATION

Another £50,000 has just been given to the nation to help to re- duce the National Debt. This was a legacy, representing two-thirds of the estate of a patriotic Lon- doner.

Many of the gifts are legacies In the form of cash shares or Gov- ernment stock. But real property, even whole estates, are sometimes bequeathed to the nation.

Often the gifts, like the widow's mite, are not to be reckoned at their face value, An envelope

was found to contain six £1 notes and a half-sheet of paper.
