MINERS' EFFORTS PROMISE RECORD PRODUCTION

Praise the miners!. Despitë a small strike of colllery engine winders in Durham, they are doing a grand job of work, and I am happy to report that since the introduction of the five-day week figures reaching divisional headquar- ters of the National Coal Board show that production has

HELIGOLAND

The former inhabitants of Heligoland are clamouring to re- turn to their island home.

Evacuated by British occupation authorities and forbidden to return after the war. the Heligolanders, numbering some 25,000, have been living in camp at Pinheberg, near Hamburg.

.Labour peer, Lord Henderson, ne- cused the former Food Minister of voicing alarm and despondency about food. Mr Strachey, however, has reassured the housewife with his statement that there is no danger of a food crisis, that our slocks of potators stand as high as last year, that we are supplementing them with potatoes from Canada, and Denmark, that if the world harvests are good! there is a hope of ending bread rationing, and that when the muin vegetable crops arrive in July he

Civilian, But Knows All About Army Uniforms

One of Britain's best-informed authorities on army uniformis has never been in the Army. He is the Rev. Percy Sumner, who at 73 has just resigned from the living of Vicar of St Luke's Church, Reading, to spend a busy retirement writing, drawing and collecting material on his pet subject.

"The nearest 1 ever got to the army was during the first World War" he says.
