GIRL IN AIR RAID

TOO EXCITED TO SHELTER The intensity of the German air attack on London and the spirit in which the civilian population is withstanding it are shown in a letter received in Auckland from a young girl employed in a London office. "The ruins now are really awful," she states. "They have destroyed dozens of beautiful buildings and the fires in the city are still raging. Vfe are nearly kippered in the office because of all the smoke. It takes three or four hours to get to and from work. On my way home yesterday there was a roar of aeroplanes overhead and T have never seen such an amazing sight. 1 just couldn't go inside the shelter, it was much too thrilling."
