Poles’ Foresight
Addressing the Wanganui Rotary Club, Mr M. Sendyk, a Pole who left his country about 18 months ago, said that one of the measures taken by his people to retard the Nazi invasion was to destroy railway timetables.

It was estimated that it would take competent engineers and train administrators 15 years to restore the timetables to proper shape. ■ ‘ ■
