PAGE SIX 40,000,000 days wasted! That is the cost in working time of a normal colds and influenza. And every one of those days is doubly precious in wartime. Careless coughs and sneezes are doing the work and delaying victory. What do I I build up my resistance to colds and by breathing fresh air; eating wisely and getting a full sleep as often as I can. I do my best to avoid stuffy, crowded places, get a meal before starting for work, and eat my full rations, with plenty of potatoes and other vegetables I try to eat something green and raw every day.

If I do catch a cold, I use my handkerchief whenever I cough or sneeze, and so keep the germs from spreading to others.

"FARTHER. FASTER AND HIGHER" U.S. PLANES A "hitherto impossible technique which will enable American warplanes to fly farther, faster, and has been developed by the Fairchild Engine and Aeroplane Corporation, according to its president. J. Carleton Ward.

Mr. Ward said that the discovery. which had been a military secret for many months concerned a chemical process for bonding pure aluminium to steel. The technique had been used in the production of American aircraft engines for more than a year, and makes possible a marked reduction in the structural weight air-cooled engines."

More Youth Detachments Mias Allen reported that there were now 46 detachments in the 4 (including two youth detachments) with a membership of 574, and 32 detachments (including eight youth detachments) with a membership of 1,295, making a total of 1,869. A new wompQ's detachment had been registered at Patchway and three at Gloucester. A mixed detachment had been registered at Rtonehouse. Eight more youth detachments had been registered, six and two with a total membership of 26 boys, with 18 probationers and 106 girls with 155 probationers.

The great increase had been in the youth detachments. detachments had been added at Cirencester, Gloucester, Wottonunder-Edge, Brimscombe, Oucnington, and Naiisworth. detachments had been added at Gloucester and Stroud. In addition six cadet units had been formed, with a total membership of 138. and there were 12 Junior Red Cross Links in schools.

In Civil Defence there were 147 men and 404 women. The branch had 46 full-time nursing auxiliaries in the Civil Nursing Reserve and 94 were doing part-time. There were 146 V.A.D. men serving in the Forces. Practically every member of every detachment was engaged on some form of war work.

During 1943. 33 A.D.'s had been posted, 20 members to naval hospitals and 13 to military hospitals. On the question of V.A.D under military law; Miss Allen said she felt that the Army authorities did not appreciate sufficiently the excellent work done by the V.A.D.s, especially those who were enrolled before 1939. The great majority of these were called up for service and only one or two failed to respond to the call-up. The military hospitals could not have been staffed without V.A.D.S.

More recruits were needed. Ready To Go Overseas So far only 12 people had volunteered for po: t-armistice relief work. She hoped they might hear GREATEST DAY BLITZ OF WAR United States Strategic Air Forces in Britain launched against Germany on Sunday what is officially described as "the greatest daylight aerial undertaking of the A great force of aircraft, including many from R.A.F. and Dominion squadrons, launched an attack of vital importance aimed hundreds of miles inside Germany. This great day onslaught followed immediately on an R.A.F.

night assau't on Leipzig, where more than 2,300 tons were dropped. Regardless of cost, the Allied Air Forces had set out to smash completely some newly-discovered centres of German aircraft production. At Leipzig at least 20 major airframe and aero-engine Arms, bombed out of their factories elsewhere, had succeeded in setting up one of the most vital sources of the present power. 79 Missing Bomber Command suffered its heaviest losses of the war in the night attack: 79 aircraft were missing from its operations. Staggered by the quick return of the American forces to an objective so deep inside Germany, the Luftwaffe was able to offer only comparatively light opposition to the day attack.

B.H.A. HEALTH CHARTER WARNING The future of 1,100 voluntary hospitals will be jeopardised it the weekly contribution system is ended under the proposed national health service. This warning was given on Sunday by the British Hospitals Association in a statement on the health plan White Paper. Lack of reference to the contributary movement is a serious say the association, and it will have to be "most closely and seriously Nearly 11,000,000 make a voluntary weekly contribution to secure free hospital treatment when it is needed for themselves and their families, the statement adds. Six months before the Beveridge Report the voluntary hospitals had adopted as part of their postwat planning the policy of making facilities available to all, regardless of income.

The statement points out that nearly every major discovery in the relief of pain and improvements in cures have been made and perfected by voluntary hospitals. Support will be needed more than ever to ensure that extensions of treatment and research necessary under the proposals can be made. COUNCIL PROTESTS TO CHURCHILL Rawtenstall (Lancs.)
