II: tuning Ntios FRIDAY, JANUARY 24. 1958 AS OTHERS SEE US This is the bustling Britain strollers who have probably taken the same lunchhour walk for the past few they appear to look in the shop windows as if they are seeing them for the first time. There are the newspaper sellers who keep repeating Newchronere I haven't yet found out what it means. Perhaps It is the name of the paper. Or is it the headline? Although that changes with every edition they still say There is the traffic congestion, the one- way streets, She tall policemen.

At this time of the year there are lots of belted raincoats. There are the Teddy boys who command the whole of the pavementwho are not really bad kids but just trying to be in fashion. ALL this makes It so much a part of our wonderful country, wonderful because that is our way of life. I have travelled half way round the world. I like to watch.

Every city I go to In other countries I notice. I have to. it is my work. The reason I love Manchester. Birmingham.

Leeds, or London is because they have something which, strange to say, many other countries have not. They have a sense of humour I remember waiting for a bus many years ago in Salford. One came along full and the conductor was very harassed as people piled on. I got to the platform. He then shouted.

"That's the lot!" I said. "How long will the. next bus be?" Without batting an eyelid he said. Eighteen foot six, same as this one." Then he rang the bell and the bus disappeared up the road. Max ilygraves at present starring in the Opera House musical.

There are theluneh-hour dr! 4.. BRITAIN'S DAY BRITAIN has tamed the H-bomb. Our scientists have won the secret of how to use the properties of the sea as a source of power. We are on the threshold of new, rich, unlimited resources, releasing for industry, eventually, the kind of thermo nuclear energy that is put out by the life-giving sun. The Government will tell the full story to-night.

Meanwhile, we pay tribute to two men who have done most to put Britain in this commanding positionfor in this field we are ahead of the world. Sir William Penney has been in charge of the development of atomic weapons to which Britain kooks to-day for her strength and independence. SIR JOHN COCKCROFT has directed the Atomic Energy Research Establishment at Harwell since it was set up in 1946 and has been closely concerned with Zeta," the machine which will harness the H-bomb for peaceful use. Now, as the news of this great advance is being released, the men who made it possible are stepping aside for younger men and to lighten the heavy load they have borne so long. Their material rewards have been puny compared with their vast contribution to the prosperity and might of this country.

They deserve the thanks of us all. Too much paper ABIG chain-store is slashing red tape. It has done away with timeclocks and lunch-bells, but the girls still keep good time, so nothing has been sacrificed. Paper-work invoicing empties and keeping stockchecks has also been thrown to the winds. Result Starting.

to-day the firm is knocking sd. off nylon stockings, is. sd. off some shirts, and socks are down by sixpence. This is the way to peg the cost of only it could be repeated all over the country.

And why should it not be How many concerns to-day can honestly say there is no economy they could make to lower their overheads? What a contribution to the nation's economy if every firm absorbed the next price or wage increase by more efficiency, instead of passing the increase immediately to the public. Biggest, city in ABOUT six years ago I brought my family to Manchester for the first time. As the train drew in to London Road Station Anthony, who was then only Ave years old, looked out of the window at the smoking rooftops and said, Ooh daddy, it's just like England." What he meant to say was it looked like London That about sums up Manchester for me. I have used a lot of jokes about the Manchester weather In the past, jokes lovely to wake up in the the windows, and listen to the Another one was, "My father had a business in went bankrupt. He was selling sunblinds There are hundreds of jokes about this big city of yours.

But how does Manchester strike a stranger when he arrives for the first time in the busiest city in the British Isles TIEING in the theatre business, actors usually arrive In a new town on a Sunday. and believe me the peacefulness on the Sabbath Is almost unbelievable compared with the rest of the week. The heart of the city Is almost deserted: there Is tne sound of church bells and a leisureliness that is so much part of England. On 1 4 morning a great big bundle of energy fills the streets. People are hurrying to work.

There are anxious looks at watches, disappointed faces when the bus is tull and passengers having to watt for the next one.
