Little Effective Damage By Villainous Bombing

The destruction of a military objective is one thing, but vandalism is something different," said MR. CYRILİ LAKIN, news commentator, when he broadcast from Daventry in the Overseas Service of the B.B.C. last night. Mr. Lakin was referring to what he described as the fiercest night raids London had experienced on Wednes- day, when hospitals, convents and schools were destroyed by the Nazi raiders.

SOME ASPECTS OF BRITAIN AT WAR Interesting Address By Professor Cullis

*The good conduct and morale of the nation depends on what the home-makers---the women—are doing,” said· Professor Winifred C. Cuills, D.Sc., C.BE. in the course of an address, entitled "Some Aspects of Britain at War" given at the Helens May Institute, last evening..."

The speaker was introduced by Mrs. N. L. Smith who assured Professor Cullis that the women of Hongkong are just as keen to assist in the war as their sisters at Home. The distinguished visitor said! that they were all grateful to the fighting services on whom depend- ed not only the security of England but also the security, and freedom, of all countries. The war, as they all knew, depends on the spirit of the general people.
