BOMBING OF TOWN.
SPECTACLE FOR TOUKTST
Among the vivid experiences recalled by Mrs I. M. Vaile in describing a fourteen months’ holiday tour of the world was the bombing of a town in Spain. Mrs Vaiie, who arrived at Auckland en route to her home in Melbourne, was in the Mediterranean last February and, while the ship was waiting off Gibraltar for an escort, a dramatic scene was enacted before the eyes of the passengers. “Over the shorefront. a faint outline of the town was just discernible when two aeroplanes suddenly appeared, and swooped gracefully down,” she said. “Then followed several puffs of smoke as bombs were dropped and, when the Smoke disappeared, nothing was left. Buildings and dwellings were no longer there. In the course of a minute or two the town had been razed to the ground.”
Cooked green peas, mashed with butter into a smooth paste, will make a “different” sandwich filling. Add cayenne and curry powder to taste.
