"Dear Sergeant-This is intended to be a small teken of our very real appreciation of the manner in which we, in this barrack room, have been treated by you.
"We shall, one and all, remember in the future the many happy hours which wo have spent with you, hours which, but for your kindness and good will, would doubtless have been far less happy."
Doesn't that explode the hoary musie-hall gag of the bullying, boille-nosed sergeant?, comments the Ministry of Information.
And the second batch of Militiamen are, in the malu, as enthusiastic about Army fe as the Arst. Their outlook now is tempered by war.

Many of the villagers have already fled, for the German have warned them that the bridge across the Moselle will be blown up at the first sight of a French soldier, but those who remain gaze out across the fron tier at a strange, deserted land- scape.

The area between the Maginot and Siegfried Lines was turned into a No-Man's Land immediately the war started. The villages are dead and empty and crops are rotting in the felds.

CURIOSITY
URIOSITY killed the cat, we are told. Curiosity is also responsible for many accidents at work.
Read what Mr. H. I. Rogers, superintendent Inspector of fac- torles, has to say on the subject in the report for 1038 Issued recently by his chief, Sir Duncan Wilson:
"Inspectors are often told by managers and foremen that they are surprised that accidents oc- curred to particulur boys or girls, because they were con- sidered to be some of the Amortest and most intelligent in the works,
