TOO BUSY TO BE ILL
DOCTORS’ WORK DROPS LONDON, Sept. 21. Doctors and dentists throughout Britain report that, their practices have dwindled since the war, because people are too busy to be ill and also because many city'patients have been evheuated. Panel doctors are still fully occupied,- because most of their patients are carrying on their usual work. A fortnight's experiment in closing the Billingsgate fish market has failed, and the market will reopen on Sunday. The Minister for Food, Mr. Morrison, announced that decentralisation and distribution of fish from suburban depots was unsatisfactory. It was not possible by this method to distribute such a perishable product speedily and efficiently from remote railheads, and trawler owners would not send their ships to sea unless a market was assured.
