40 m.p.g. with normal driving.

The Vauxhall Ten has achiev- ed a reputation for its combina- tion of roominess, performance and petrol saving. Its potrol consumption of 40 mp.g. with normal driving has been proved by so many drivers and indepen- dent experts that it is now taken for granted.

The Vauxhall Ten has been made larger and wider, and It is now therefore, roomier, the roomiest "Ten" you can buy. Attractive, both inter- nally and externally, it has reliability and low running costs that come only from inherent soundness of design and manu-. facturing methods.

"That village" in a South- county which was selected a few weeks ago for bombing by Herr Hitler has. been bombed again. "That village" consists of two duck ponds, one by the church and the other close to the pub, known to the older residents. as the Club.

There is also a delightful old- world green round which are clustered some old houses, the most beautiful of them a Queen

Anne house, with virginia. creeper growing over its portals, ancient shutters safeguarding each room, and an old-world garden stretching away at the back with two well-known land- marks, a gigantic plane tree and an almost perfect broch tree; box hedges and snails.

The latest raid chose the Queen Anne house in which resides the largest family on .the green,

old-fashioned family with many, sons and daughters.

. The shutters and the ancient thick brick walls auggested that no air raid shelter was neces- sary, so the schoolroom at the back of the house was appointed the place to which all the house-
