While all New Zealanders are expressing sympathy with the people of Britain in their trials, there is at least one Englishwoman who feels the sympathy should be with those who arc not experiencing the thrill of assisting directly in the defeat of Germany. Writing as enemy aeroplanes were overhead and a call on duty was expected, she thus exhorts a male relative in Auckland: “Keep a cheerful heart, old lad. It must be horrible to be so far away and much harder to realise how well we are doing really. I'm proud to be even that very humble thing, an A.R.P. warden, and only hope that I shall not fail."
