Are you thinking of taking your food? Picnic lunches are fine except for the person who has to cut the sandwiches and pack the basket and the other person who has to carry it around all day.

A lot of people, disliking this amount of work on a holiday, don't go out till after lunch, and then they feel that half the day is gone.

There is a solution. It means introducing on entirely new meal to your family-a-break-fast-cum- Bunch which you eat at eleven o'clock. Then you can get out into the country right away. Holiday makers in America go in for this eleven o'clock meal. They And they've more energy for a hot day when they have started on a cond menl.

If you have some biscuits with carly morning tea you should be able to keep going until eleven. Make the new meal a light but for- lying one. Then, instead of a great plenle basket with vacuum Basks and jar food, take a small packet of biscults and cheese to eat with coffee, beer or ten in the early afternoon, and come home in the evening to a qulekly cooked hot meal. (The one below takes lif- teen minutes.)

Nazi Parachutists Dropped to Death in Norway

Germany has made much use of parachute troops. The 'planes used for this purpose are old types of 3-engined Junkers 52. About 20 men are carried in each. The men are heavily laden, carrying folding blcycles, radio sets, parts of tents and food, besties small "Schnelser" rub-machine guns frldr 30 rounds (see Azure Just Teaving 'plane), Because the men are so heavily burdened the "static line” method of re- Icasing the parachute is used. To the back of the parachute is attached a stout cord which is fixed' to the in- side of the plane.. When the soldier jumps out the cord rips the cover from the parachute (as seen in the dia- aram) and the parachute opeus. The cords are left swinging in the slipstream with the parachule covera attached. Many of these parachutists have been buried in the snow or picked up with broken legs.

The method used for troop transport by air is to strip a huge civil passenger 'plane of all seats, lug- gage racks, etc., and cram it with soldiers. The 'plane shown in the drawing is a Junkers 90. These great 'planes carry normally 40 passengers and a crew of 4 (see inset drawing), but the Germans, claim to carry 60 motdlers per journey (standing, of course),

TOM WINTRINGHAM,

who fought against Franco in the Spanish Wur,“ explains how some of Hitler's tactics developed from that campaign.

PIEC

IEOING together the stories told by soldiers returning from Flanders, one can see that the Germans had an extra advantage that has so far escaped attention.

They were in the fortunate posi- tion of being able to use tactles and equipment which had been thoroughly tested and improved

the war in Spain.

during

In that war, which included mere mountain' fighting than is gener- ally realised, the Germans learnt that isolated detachments could be used in attack to an extent previ- ously impossible.

They learnt the value of a well- organised Fifth Column.

The Spanish origin of this much lised phrase should not be for- gotten.

They learnt the need for a close integration of nil arma with the infantry, and the value of what one might call "double-purpose" wen- ponis.

General Keltel, Iller's Chlef of Staff, who at one time commanded the Condor Legion in Spain, has had the German Infantry equipped with a certain amount of light artillery, some engineering gear, anti-tank and anti-aircraft units,

and so on.

These are not separate organisa- tions, of which blis ure udded lo the infantry units, but are integral parts of the infantry regiment.

Old-Fashioned Army Organisation

Those who control the British Army have unfortunately paid no attention to this lesson from Spain. For example, our anti-tank guns, which began as infantry weapons, have been taken away from the infantry and made part of the Royal Artillery,

Our Infantry have only anti- tank rifles, smaller weapons of which the efficiency has yet to be proved in battle.

INUSITIS, or sinus inflam- Smation, le quite a com- mon complaint.

Yet many sufferers from it do not Icallso that their persistent hend- nche with attacks of dizziness is really due to sinus inflammation: In fact, most people are quite un- aware of the existence of alnuses, otherwisa sinall cavities in the skull communicating with the nose.

The Germans superiority in "double purpose" equipment is of particular Importance when, wen- pons have to be shipped by sea.

One German Gun

Does Three jobs

To give one example, the Ger-. mans have a 88 mum. gun, which is used for three purposes. It is an anti-aircraft gun, a plece of field artillery, and a heavy anti-tank

weapon.

As an anti-aircraft gun 1s not so good as our 3.7 Inch, which is of about the sume size. As deld artil- lery, it is not so good as our 25-. pounder. As an anti-tank gun it is too heavy and fires too slowly, as compared with our own anti-tank brtillery.

But this single German gun will do all three jobs, and do them suf- Aciently well.

Therefore when a German sulp reaches Norway, single kuns can be handed out which are almost equivalent 10 three reparate British weapons.

And euch of these three British weapons must be hauled through the snowdrifts and over mountaih ronds to the fighting front.

Sometimes, it is argued, there will be a simultaneous attack by tanks and aeroplanes, and the same gua cannot deol with both.
