A number from here attended the funeral of the late Mr. Jas. Sandi- lands, which was held in Dundalk on Sunday. Mr. Sandilands was the | father of Mrs. Wes Armstrong of town and was well known and highly regarded by many in this district. The family have the condolences of many friends. Paul's on the day after I arrived in London. It was a Sunday afternoon, with few people around. The destruc- tion in that area is so thorough as to be beyond belief. The more dangerous walls have been torn down or were still being demolished. Little things seemed to make more impres- sion than the greater destruction. In one pile, for instance, were a dozen typewriters, battered almost beyond recognition. And homely little desk fittings lay amid piles of rubble. I found, again that it was these little things that attracted my attention when looking at ruins of houses or other buildings. It might be some child's plaything lying there forlorn; or some article of clothing still hang- ing on a peg on the wall, although everything else in the room had dis- appeared. THE NEWSPAPER DISlfcaCT The Strand, which ran in front of the hotel, had a church in the centre of the street as its east end, and be- yond that, it became Fleet street. The church was one of the beautiful struc- tures designed by Sir Christopher Wren after the great fire of London in 1666. It went by the odd name of St. Clement Dane, and its span of life was from one great fire to another, for it is completely ruined now ex- cept for the spire. Fleet street ie the newspaper area of Yondon strange how they have managed to group everything into "areas" in this great city. Along that street, and around corners in the streets nearby are, or were, the great newspapers and even such lesser but well-known ones as that boyhood fav- orite, "The Boys Own Paper." Most of them still carry on, but passing Bouverie street we turned down to see the B.O.P. office. Nothing re- mains but the bare walls. I have told in a previous story of the way I spent an evening at the Daily Express office, part ft it up on the roof with the fire watchers, while a German plane approached from the East, the only one to get near Lon- don during my stay. There's a sys- tem of alarms which show only in the A.R.P. offices and the newspapei buildings. As an enemy plane ap- proaches the coast, a yellow light goes on. When it is definitely headed towards London, a purple light glows.. Of these alerts, the public know* nothing. But when the plane reaches the outer defences of London, a red light glows. It is then that the alarm is sounded in the streets. That night the purple light was on and from the roof I could see the flashes from the anti-aircraft guns down the Thames The Daily Expresis and the Stand- ard are Lord Beavenbrook's papers. He is said to have spent $75,000 t>c bomb-proof his two buildings, and h succeeded. The Standard puts up amid a patch of ruins. The Express is on Fleet street, which is not so badly damaged as a whole. The London Times is the most fam- ous of all the paper:-, of course. It is larger than the others, sually eight pages to their four, for paper is sca- rce and rationed. It costs more, and unless you're a regular subscriber, it'* desperately hard to get a copy of it. During the bombing, every win- dow in the front of the Times build- ing was blown out and much other damage done. But the Times never failed to come out as usual, and the other papers have equally good re- cords. They weren't using all their equipment anyway, and they helped each other out, -when necessary. It it is said that during the height of the blitz it gave Londoners a com- forting feeling to be able to go to the door in the morning, after a night of terror, and find the morning pap- er and a bottle of milk there as us- ual. No doubt it would. Why is it that a cheque only be- comes rubber when the money won't stretch? Future Events BAKE SALE AND TEA The W. A. of St. John's United Church will hold a sale of baking and tea on Saturday afternoon, June ' 13th, at the home of Mrs. Richards.
