So big and brave are the jobs of work the thres Yates sisters of Birming-
ham are doing that they have no time to think about marriage while the war is on. All three are A.R.P. wardens. Their post is at their own home in one of the most badly damaged areas in the city. Romance must take back seat while they are putting out incendiaries, helping the injured, sav- ing animals in the blitz.
