Letter From London

By A Special Correspondent

Londoners now speak of the. air-raids as "To-night's Per- formance" and in fact the bombing is what the theatrical

would world

describe as "Nightly Sundays Included". Despite the damage, the casualties and the human suffering, there still runs through the grey sad stuff of it all a coloured thread spun the from the smiles and laughter-yes, the laughter- of the millions who stick it out.

Out of the Flanders mud of the last war arose Old Bill. I wender if some such figure might not arise this time to represent the ordeal of Lon- don..

An air raid warden told me the following little incident that happened to him the other night, and it struck me that it might inspire an .artist who was creating a

successor to Old Bill.

The warden had been sum- moned to rescue two women The

from un upper floor. stairs and lower floors had been destroyed by high ex- plosive. He called up to them, said he was going to put a -ladder-up-to-their-window.

"Well," answered a female voice from the dark above, "will you be very quiet please, because, you see, our cat's asleep, and he doesn't like, strangers!"

KING'S SYMPATHY

In the last war the King visited

of the 蟲 number

battlefields while the fighting

was on. On this occasion, when the battle has come to all alike, the King has taken the Queen with him on visits to bombed areas. During a visit they paid to Northwest London the other day they stood on the edge of a big. crater while a raid was in progress, watching the shells bursting round the attackers, fighters in pursuit of a bom- ber formation.

Mr. and Mrs. Churchill made a tour by launch of the docks and for a fortnight or more, Minister of Health, Mal- colm MacDonald has been visiting public shelters during the night raids to see what improvements can be made. Every day, more and moro mothers and children leave for. the country.

Local shelters naturally tend to got the same crowd to- gether, night after night, and B. new neighbourliness is growing. One of the tube station shelters, Swiss Cot- tage, produces its own news bulletin, by means of a type- writer and duplicator. A col- lection is taken cach night at the rate of a penny a head, from which a 'sum is deducted. to buv, additional equipment. -Dustbins, for instance, are provided for the litter loft by sholtoreras
