WAR TIME WORK
ELINOR GLYN WANTS TO HELP. Elinor Glyn, the novelist, who was seventy-five years of age last month, wants to help Britain in the war. During the last war she did propaganda work for the French. "I shall wait," she said recenjly in Load, "until I can find something 1 am fitted for . It is no use rushing things." I) there were a shortage of canteen workers, she would be pleased Io wash dishes. Concerning evacuation, Mrs Glyn said: "It is not only a beautiful idea but a practical one. It will do more than anything to bring about a true understanding between people in this country. Poor little city children will learn how beautiful a country hedge is. Country dwellers have much to leach them.” Of Hitler she said: "He is a madman. And the people who follow the Nazi regime are mad people. That sori of thing cannot live long. The Nazis are slaves. Can a slave think? To think, to create to do things, a person must be free. "We are the freest people in the world. That is something worth fighting for and we must fight to keep our heritage.”
