Back in November of 1940, this

part of England.

Still, reconstruction waits. The reason, as revealed to me, is difference of viewpoint over the degree to which the rebuilding should be carried out along the functional lines of modern scientific city planning.

“Indeed, ih employing the national town and country planning statute to acquire private property sites for rebuilding, Coventry may have even more difficulty than Plym{outh, which I visited recently, | simply because the destruction of its central section is not nearly as complete. : More structures are left standing whose owners are likely to oppose condemnation proceedings. “Tax Values a Problem The city planners have been particularly upset by a recent letter from the national town and country planning ministry. suggesting that they re-examine the project with a view to locating as many

WEDDINGS IN BRITISH CHURCH ALL ILLEGAL

R. M. Scantle~ bury took over the parish and found that the license of the original St Mary's, a corrugated iron mission hall, was not transferred when the new church was consecrated in 1938 - The only way that all the couples ceremonies "were performed in the church between November, 1938, and March, 1944, can become properly bound together in the eves of the law is for parliament to pass a special act, f The Home Office has written to Rev, Scantlebury informing him that a parliamentary bill is’ being prepared

The patient stops drinking as e result of this treatment because the sight, smell and taste of alcoholic beverages have become nauseating to him. He is conditioned to this state through reflex association between alcoholic heverages and the nausea and vomiting induced by a special type of medicine The success of the treatment depends partly on following carefully an elaborate technic and partly on| proper selection of patients. If the patient has no trouble except his addiction .to alcohol, he will be successfully treated. If he is a drinker hecause of some underlying neurotic condition, the treatment will not succeed by itself but will, serve as an aid to psychiatric treat-| ment of the neurosis. The comparatively low cost of the treatment, which requires a hospital stay of two and one-half weeks, and six reinforcement treatments for one
year, was stressed by Dr. Thimann beaches
