VILLAGE AMBUSH

A BEARDED man limped into the London offi- ces of the "Sunday Chronicle" recently and asked to see the Editor.

He was a Pole who had just arrived in England after a desperate escape from Nazi-ridden Poland by a secret route through German-occupied territor-

Australia bids fair to become Britain's best customer for the "cut-throat" razors.
