When you eat herrings and tomato sauce you probably do not give a thought to the processes through which the herring has passed between the sea and your table. The herring season opened in the North Sea in October and lasts until the middle of December. Over 800 trawlers and drifters assembled at Yarmouth for the opening, and fisher girls came down from Scotland to work at fish curing. Our top illustrations show some of these girls walking on the waterfront and at work. There is a sharp contrast between the bottom pictures. The soldiers are the Welsh Guards marching (as an economy measure) through the lovely English countryside from Aldershot to Windsor. The smaller picture was taken in an English coal mine 750 feet below the surface, and shows how cramped are the quarters in which the miners work. These men operate a saw, which undercuts the coal. The face is then drilled and the coal blown down.
