My daughter was at a ball at Grosvenor House during the worst of the recent raids. When it got really noisy the band switched to a louder tune and no one seems to have enjoyed the evening any the less. The same night my wife was dining at a restaurant and enough bombs fell close by to make it very difficult for her to get away by car owing to the surrounding streets being blocked by debris and craters. She drew up at one point with the front wheels of the car on the lip of a new crater. The words of an Air Raid Warden.
"Keep to the right, madam, there has been an incident," seemed' rather an understatement.
Our local and much bombed village, which provides no military objective, had another parachute bomb a few nights ago.

Several old people, however. are homeless and have lost their life gs which they had invested in cottages. Judging by the effect it has had on my neighbours I def not think that if every village in England was similarly bombed t he Germans would be any nearer vi The other employees of the garage. it is reported. have demanded the reinstatement of these men. threatening to strike unless the management complied with their, demand.
With their demands for increases left without a satisfactory reply. 37 workers of the Yeh Chung Engineering Ca., situated in Lane 1458 Bubbling Well Road, called a "sit-down' strike yesterday at 8 a.m. tory. One old lady and her granddaughter were laughing and joking in my house within half an hour of their house being wrecked.
