AN OLD FOLK SONG

The secret correspondent in the Netherlands of The Times. London, tells how the organist of a small village near Eindhoven—the city where the Phillips factories were recently bombed by the R.A.F. —frequently manages to play the British National Anthem on his carillon. The Germans, naturally, are extremely annoyed, but as he contends that he is playing the old Netherlands folk song, " Oh Dearest Place on Earth,” which is set to the same tune, there is little the Germans can do about it.
