... Are There Stil! Too Many Dogs? Asks A. Croxton Smith WE are exhorted to dig for victory, produce for victory, and, one might add, we can also save for victory. I do not mean in the sense that we should put money into one of the several Government securities that have the direct purpose of raising money, but that we should economise in daily matters with the object of helping out the food ...

... /GENTLEMAN, foxhunter and friend was how the Premier described xJ Lord Halifax, and the phrase has vastly intrigued the American Press, as has the Ambassador's own statement that he would rather be a Master of Foxhounds than Prime Minister. Lord Halifax was, in fact, Joint-Master of the Middleton from 1932 until 1938, when affairs of State compelled him to give up his favourite sport. It is ...

... [By Ourj Horticultural Correspondent DIG for victory is now a pretty well worn slogan. I am in complete agree ment with the Editor when he suggests that we might do more thinking for victory. There is plenty of room for it in connection with our efforts to grow more food. t is very easy to get into a rut and I for one plead guilty. I have been misusing a nice little piece of good growing ...

... Two Big Fights ltuon-Berg Disappointment Lazar's Fine Win Over Crowley By 16. Bciuiison THE Eric Boon-Kid Berg fight at the London Coliseum produced a woeful anti-climax, Boon being ruled out in the second round for driving a left hook below the belt; and properly so, for as I saw the punch it was inexcusably low. Unintentional, of course: Boon is not the kind to kick over the traces. ...

... Don't Worry Trust the Air Force! By our Flying Correspondent AT the time of the gravest reverses I have always pointed out one thing which, as I see it, pervades the entire strategy of modern war. It is that air power is all-power, and that, provided a country can retain air supremacy, it still has long-term control over even the worst ground situations. So during those tragic days which led ...

... Round the slew Shows Farce to the Fore Women Aren't Angels (Strand) PLAYED by a poor, or even a mediocre company, this farce, which has returned to town, whence it was blitzed last autumn, would quite possibly be rather tedious stuff. There is nothing intrinsically amusing in people changing clothes with each other and in a husband donning his wife's skirt. And although a man losing his ...

... Reclaiming Derelict Farms War Agricultural Committees Letting to Work ISy IB. C. Long IT is well known that there are in this country considerable areas of waste land, and many farms that have become derelict-- in part, perhaps, owing to the incompetence of the occupiers, and in part to economic causes, such as lack of capital or low prices. These areas are covered with ragwort, bracken or ...

... Schoolboys Fight Hard Guy's Narrow Win in Keen Match A PUBLIC SCHOOLS' XV put up a very fine performance against Guy's Hospital at Honor Oak Park last week. 'Guy's, who held a big advantage in the pack, where superior weight enabled them to heel from almost every scrum, won by 21 points to 16. The Schools' forwards, however, played a rousing game in the loose, where L. S. Groser (King's, ...
