Not Afraid of Hitler
The children are coming home from school, clattering down the road past camp, each with his little gas-mask over his shoulder. A few of the older girls, as is the way with girls, seem to be taunting that little fair-headed chap of seven or thereabouts. "I’m not afraid of blinking Hitler,’ he pipes up, "éven if he does send his bombers." The papers record the same sentiment differently expressed by a child of Mayfair, a "seavacuee," upon his arrival in New York. Asked if the British would win, he replied, "I most assuredly believe they will,"-N.Z. Official War Correspondent.
