part in anything connected with war, Miss Elsie Page, aged 27, employed on the clerical staff by British Celanese, Ltd., in Hanover Square, refused to be as- sociated with the firm's A.R.P. drill recently.

Officials of British Celanese, Ltd., said that the girl had been dismissed because she refused to take part in measures for com- mon safety. There was nothing against her work, nor was there any reason for doubting the sincerity of her convictions.
