DUKE'S VICAR

PERSECUTED

From

"Boycotts

Pulpits"

The Rev. Robert Anderson Jardine, former Vicar of St. Paul's, Darlington, who married the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, complains bitterly of "persecution" by the

Church of England.

While denying reports that he is penniless, he admits that he is struggling hard to make ends meet.

In an interview in his home in Hollywood, he said: "My wife and I are not destitute or friendless, but my American tour has not been financially successful yet. It is pretty hard to start afresh at 60, especially in a new country.

"I find that the main interest in me in America is that I mar- ried the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and I did not set out to capitalise it.

We now know, on the authority of Women's Voluntary Services for A.R.P., the kind of girl who may be considered a "typically English girl.”

She is Miss Barbara Kershaw, who has been chosen to take the place of the girl whose face originally appeared on the prize-winning A.R.P. poster designed to persuade

women to offer their services.

It became known that the photograph of Girl No. 1 came from Berlin, and it was feared that she might be

SUDDEN INSPIRATION WHICH FLASHED UPON A MANCHESTER BUSI- NESS MAN FIND THE KEY TO PEACE FOR MR. NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN ?

When the clouds hanging over Europe were at the blackest and millions were talking and thinking about the crisis, Mr W. Sim Harris, managing director of Kruschen Salts there, had an idea.

As he dwelt on it he grew more and more convinced that he had hit upon a means of averting war

So convinced Was he that he decided to telegraph his plan imme- diately to Mrs. Neville Chamberlain, knowing that to send it to the Prime Minister himself might mean It would be overlooked for days in the welter of private letters arriving at No. 10, Downing Street from every corner of the world.

He sat down and drafted his wire,i and sent it off from Salford Post office.

"Examination of this solution reveal its possibilities at the eleventh hour.”

Within 48 hours Mr. Harris was slartled to see his plan being putļ into effect.
