A fate, to the like of which a cynical post-war world has got accustomed and the tragedy of which has for superficial observers long since tended to become ob- scured by its frequency. None the less does it give, for the less superficial, food for reflection. If only by reason of the very violence of certain contrasts in human destiny of which it is an outstand- Ing object-lesson..

Just by way of comparison be- tween two human destinies there is an undeniable savouriness in juxtapositing the news of the death of General Tkatshenko and the news of the demise of Viscount Halifax, which occurred, within about a week of each other. Eng-

formation of the site is particularly convenient as it has enabled the architect to put the main block of buildings well above the road. This means plenty of fresh air and freedom for nervoLS or sick patients from too many street rioises etc.

There is an area of 16,830 square fee The main kennels and es- sential offees are to be built on the higher level, leaving as much ground as possible for exercise.
