BIG LCC PROJECT

SINGLE CIGARETTES DISPLAYED IN SHOPS

It is good news to hear that a huge London housing scheme is soon to be started, but how long it will be before the thousands of people in this capital of ours are accommodated I would not care to guess.

TH

Take my own ease, for example. I have been seck- ing a house somewhere around London now for more than six months. I have visited council offices, builders, estate agents, and even private property owners, and must have inspected scores of "very desirable residences." But the nearest I got to becoming the owner of my own house was by a deposit of nearly £1,000 and the usual building society charges for a three-bedroomed type for which the owner wanted £3,000. The same thing before the war could not have cost a penny more than £1,200. I know because I own my own house in the North. So you will sed that the housing problem in London is still most neute. That's the reason I am glad to give you details of

£11,000,000 scheme, with homes for nearly 40,000 people, to be built by the London County Council at Dagnam Park, Romford, Essex.

From what I can see it is up to everybody to take these fuel cuts in the usual patriotic way, for the sav- ing in coal will be an important factor in our eventual recovery.

WORLD'S 100

BEST NOVELS

What are the hundred greatest novels of all time?

William H. F. Lamont, writ- ing in the current issue of Books Abroad, the quarterly review of foreign literature published by the University of Oklahoma Press, displays objective taste.
