LONDON, July 8 (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- lers 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 pub- lic."

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.

It was agreed that the verse, as officially printed, would substitute the word "plucks" for "guts" and that the council would strike out the words "My God" and replace them with "then."
