FLEW TO ENGLAND
YOUNG FRENCHMAN FED UP
WITH NAZI RULE
LONDON, February 5,
A young French air mechanic desirous of joining the Royal Air Force seized a seven-passenger luxury cabin plane in an airfield in occupied France and flew it to England. He landed on a bumpy field in a farm in Cornwall. The Frenchman said he was fed up with living under German rule.
A tenant of a State house not so long ago received a letter from the State Housing Department bearing the signature of a prominent official in the Department which stated that under pain of certain penalties he must keep his cat under control at night, said the Leader of the National Party (Mr. Holland), addressing a meeting of supporters at" Stratford. That, he commented, characterised the restrictions which the Labour Government had imposed on the people of New Zealand.
