WAR CHANGES
CARS FOR BERMUDA 1-lorsc and buggy days arc over in Bermuda. With the advent of war a bill has been passed breaking the colony's famous rule against motor traffic. One of the greatest attractions of Bermuda has always been the carriages of every description, barouches and dog carts, that are driven along the coral roads bordered with wild pink peas. Coloured drivers, who speak faultless English, sit perched up on the box. The hor,ses have all a lean and hungry look, for all hay has to be imported. Although no one is very enthusiastic about having cars in the island, the women are rejoicing because, after having fought for suffrage for many years, the vote has at least been granted them by the Governor.
