"WE SHALL END IT"
BRITISH PEOPLE'S SPIRIT "CAN MANAGE" ON RATIONS "Do not worry about us regarding foodstuffs, 1 ' writes a relative in England to a Waikato resident. "There is plenty of everything excepting butter, bacon and sugar. Of butter we get %lb each person, which occasionally is raised to Goz and margarine extra.
"Of sugar the ration is *4lb per person plus .lam, sugar and sometimes this is raised to 12oz. You should see our dining tables—cream, cakes, meat pies; in fact eA*erything unlimited excepting butter, bacon and sugar. We can manage on that alloAA'ance.
"In the last few weeks air raids have been frequent. London is suffering -badly, but not so much as Berlin. Our R.A.F. is wonderfuleven the Germans think so, because they are squealing. They don't like the stuff they gave Pol-' and and the other small nations. But they started the game and we shall end It our own way."
