TREACLE FOR TRAMPS
Tastier Meals To Be Given In Casual Wards
BRITAIN'S TRAMPS, who are now beginning to appear on the roads again in thousands after their winter hibernation, will be better catered for when they "drop in" for a night at a casual ward, thanks to a Ministry of Health order, which comes into force recently.
The order improves the diet prescribed in casual wards under a previous order, made in 1931.
Hitherto a special dietary, as the order calls it, has been prescribed for casual wards, even though they may be attached to public assistance institutions.
The new order permits, where the casual ward is part of such an institution, of those in the casual ward receiving a similar meal to that which

THE NEWS that food rationing has been decreased throughout Spain has been received with interest here as proof that stories of extreme economic and material hardship in Franco's territory are not mistaken.
Official and unofficial reports agree that conditions in the principal Spanish towns have grown rapidly worse since the end of the civil war.
