Seeing the Fair gives a boy a mighty appetite as Miss Ruby S Clark, 4-H Club Camp dietitian, will testify. The 300 boys eat 1870 slices of bread a day, drink 40 gallons of milk and consume 100 pounds of potatoes. Fifteen gallons of ice cream disappear ~t each meal it is served and breakfast means that 600 eggs and 20 pounds of bacon are needed

An average of 70 Londoners lose their gas masks daily, Bus conductors complain that during the nightly blackouts they are being given foreign coins the same size as shillings and six pence pieces by passengers. Afr raid wardens at Leicester are popularizing a new game called “Big Bears,” in which older children put on their gas masks and romp around pretending they are bears in order to accustom the more timid younger children to the masks,
