Cream rouge is the most Aalier- ing, and it is ensy to apply. When you are in a hurry, put three little dots of cream rouge on each cheek. Then, with Angertip moistened in water or skin freshener, blend the rouge dots ingether. First the right check, then the left. Your colour will have a soft and Ingling beauty. Your face powder comes after the rouge, of course.

Palestine 1946

-BALANCE SHEET-

BY PETER DUFFIELD

Some three divisions of British troops and 3,000 British* police garrisoned the Holy Land last year, 1946. Ench month of the year was marked by terrorism-the worst month being November.

The biggest single incident was the bombing of the Hotel King David in July-91 dead, 50 injured.

Throughout the year the British police and army, as well as Amb and Jewish supernumerary police, suffered ensunlties. The casualties break down like this: British army; Killed 45; wounded $3. Bullish paffeé: Killed 28: wounded 36. More than 300 clyllians have been falled or wounded in terrorist netivities.

The year saw stonings, minings, bombings and rail and rond sabotage. Kidnappings numbered 10--seven offleers and three men. There were four floggings-Sono afficer and three men.

ARMS CAPTURED FROM JEWS

During the 12-month period, arms captured by the Britch from Jews included more than 400 rifles, more than 300 pistols, over 100 mortara, Da machine or sub-machine guns and nearly 6,000 grenadů bombs. Four hundred thousand rounds of ammunition were seized;

From the Araba the British captured no mortars, no mackline-guns but a total of 360 weapons, mostly pistols, and just under 10,000 rounds of ammunition

In the same year 21 ships, bearing 20,000 Illegal Jewish «Immigrants, reached Palestine. Seventeen thousand eight hundred of the immigrants have been allowed to remain in the country: 8,200 are in Cyprus.

In the whole year there were two all reprisal raids staged by the British against terrorism. In the early suminer a group of Airborne tops staged a small rald against Jewish property following the cold-blooded murder of seven of the Airbornes.

A group of mobile police force rioted in Telaviv in November after a truck had been blown up and four Belfish burned to death,

MAJOR OPERATIONS

Two major operations were carried out by the British army and police during the year, In "Operation Agatha" the Jewish Agency building was selzed and the lenders arrested and held for more than 100 clays. "Operation Shark" was the three-day screening of the entire elly of Telaviv,

The record arms and was made during the year at Mesheq Yagour settlement where a "nursery" arsenal was found of rifles and ammunition under children's cols.

There have been two army commanders and two police commanders during the year. Gen. Sir Evelyn Barker replaced Gen. J. Darcy an GOC. Army, and Col W. N. Gray replaced Captain Rymer-Jones as Inspector-General of Police.

The High Commissioner, Sir Alan Cunningham, has remained in office throughout the year.

Air Commodore MacGregor was succceded by Air Commodore Dawron na Air Officer Commanding.

In the hunt for terrorists the British ended the year with 730 sux- pected persons held in Eritrea or Latrun detention camps. The year's bly. gest find was Iizuk Yesernitsky, deputy leader of the Stern Gang, picked up in the screening of Telaviv.

FOOTNOTE: The population of Palestine had jumped to 2,000,000 for the first time for 2,000 years.

A Belgian Ministry of Food spokesman told me thal the food situation in Belgium is ex- pected to be worse than during last winter because there are less reserves, and prospects for buying on foreign markets have practically disappeared. This is because of the world food short-
