BARMAIDS FAIL TO GET EXEMPTION

Alcohol As A Pain-Killer ·

LONDON, July & (UP).—It is just as necessary to keep British beer glasses filled as to fill the nation's shells, pub owners contended to-day in attempting to gain exemption from the Ministry of Labour industrial call-up for their bar- maids.

"The amenities provided at licensed houses do more to keep the people cheerful and con- fident than anything else," E. Sharp, Chairman of the North- west London Licensed Victual- lera Association, declared..."The young women who wait behind the bars and at. the lunch tables are doing real national service. They are bright and efficient in their attendance upon the pab-. le."

The Ministry of Labour, however, retused to see it that way. A spokes- man commented: "Preserving cheer- fulness is a peach of an argument-- but somebody might ask whether old barmaids cannot All the role, just as cheeringly."

Condemned DRAUGHT

Cardiff City Fathers

Roused To Wrath

CARDIFF, July 8 (UP),—— The Cardiff City Council, pro- claiming the use of the words "guts" " and "My God" un- gentlemanly, has authorized printing of 10,000 copies of a poem designed to halt the migrations of "blitz-quitters" who nightly leave the city in their cars for places of greater safety.

The "blitz-quitter" was roundly condemned by the city fathers at a recent council meeting, He was described as the man who packa hot water bottles, blankets and pillows into his car, then drives te country districts to spend the night. Au- thorities said that by leaving his home unguarded, the "blitz-quitter" endangered his neighbourhood by being on hand in the event of raiders cetting his house ufre.

Consequently, the city council studied the following poem attacking the "blitz-quitters."

To those who pack and run away,

And have not got the guts to stay,

It all were cowards, such as you, My god, what would poor old England

do?

Words Substituted Council-member Sir Herbert Hiles enthusiastically approved of the poem os written. But other members dis- agreed. "Language of the gutter." they said. "Doggerel, not quite thing for an official publication.”

However, most of the council mem- bérs agreed with Sir Herbert's sinte- ment "I would like the chance
