ANTHONY EDEN says:

The problem of the special areas and unemployment are national problems which cannot be resolved by local effort alone.... A national effort is called for, confined not only to industry but extended to agriculture, education and health also.

MR. ANTHONY EDEN, speaking at Kenilworth

recently, gave a warning on the growing men-

ace of unemployment.

The problem of the special areas, he said, was not dia- appearing. It was, in fact, sprending.

The problem of the special areas and the problem of long term unemployment were national problems, which could not be resolved by local effort alone.

"If that process be allowed to con- tinue unchecked, what is true to-day of the special areas must in time be- come true of the country as a whole."

GROWING ANXIETY

Mr. Eden said he had explained earlier that his work at the Foreign Offce had prevented him from giv .ing the personal attention he would have wished to the study of Home problems, and that he had proposed

Father Delany then referred to Mr. Justice Macnaghten's words before the Jury were sworn at the trial in which he said that if any member of the jury, “by reason of any pre-conceived view," felt inn diculty about giving a verdict, he should refire.

Father Delany said: "Imagine a man being judged unfit to weigh the evidence in a case of highway robbery Lecause he believed in the Ten Com- mandments."

TO RETRIEVE A BALL

Muriel had waded into the sea to recover a beach ball when she was swept away by a strong current.

Hearing crles for help, her father dashed into the zen and hud nimost grasped the girl when he, too, was overcome.

Meanwhile, another visitor, Leo- nard Frederick Francke, of Cecile Park, Crouch End, London, saw that his daughter, aged ten, who had been playing with Muriel, was also being carried out to sea,

Fully clothed, he swam to her assistance.
