QUEUE FOR WEDDINGS
' LONDON HOLIDAY RUSH. ' '■ LONDON, Dec. 25. Londoners during the war became used to queueing for anything and everything, and during the Christmas rush this year they lined up more than ever for turkeys, toys, trains, and hundreds of other things. But the strangest queue of all was when 45 couples queued up at the Tottenham Registry Office for marriage.

Mr Grirhaldi claims to have married more persons than anyone else in the world—3o,ooo couples' in 32 years.
