-By Man Who Tried
To Save The Fare
You've seen men travelling on the roofs of trains-on the filma? Angus McLeod, 23, and out of work, living at Green Hill-park, Willesden, tried it out; in order to see Celtic foot- ball team play Rangers at Glasgow. He hadn't the £2 12., 9d. for the fare, so he tried the roof way. Below he tells his story -what it really feels like:

clear the tunnel roof.

That was exactly what Christians had been saying for the last twenty years and longer. In a sermon the Archbishop preached in 1928 before the University of Oxford, he said, "When all has been said that can be said to meet the case of beings that i ore slowly rising from brutedom to the Kingdom of Heaven, nothing re- mains to weaken our conviction that war is a great evil from which we must strive to save humanity.
