SHE SOLVES THEIR LOVE PROBLEMS

IN a little white cottage in a Welsh village lives "Mam," a kindly-faced woman whom hundreds of R.A.F. trainees will never forget.

"Mam's" Christian names are Anne Elizabeth,

She first went to the village as a girl to meet her sweetheart, "Ed" Harry, a tarin labourer, who afterwards became her husband.

To-day, living with her "E" in the cottage in which he was born, she is perfectly happy.

This mouth reports were published painting terrifying pic. tures of the destruction which Hitler plans to hurl against Britain.

Goering is said to be saving his best planes and pilots, hoarding every drop of petrol for the take-off of his great air armada. The German public are convinced that he will have 30,000 planes at his disposal by the spring.
