Patricia Young British Infants Under-fed Says Speaker A spider saved the life of Miss Patricia Young, 23-year-old London novelist, who spoke at a joint meeting Women's Canadian Local Council of Women Thursday afternoon. Working in the coal cellar of her bombed home, she was frightened by a spider, gathered up her belongings and went to spend the night at a neighbor's shelter, Half an hour another bomb powdered what was left of the house. The slim, blond girl, who has endured the hardships of six years of war, gave the intimate details of a British family during the war. "It is a sad fact that the first word my little nephew said was "bomber." He was born in an air raid, has red eyes that shine in the dark. Even now when he hears a plane he screams and runs and hides," Miss Young said.

She is afraid that Britain will become a nation of weaklings because of food shortages the children have suffered. Her own six nieces and nephews are not normally developed because of the privations they have suffered. "Every family in Britain spends an average of five hours a day in queues," she said. Shoes are particularly short supply and if it is announced that 12 pairs of shoes will be sold one morning a queue starts to form at 5 a.m., and perhaps 500 women will be lined up for the shoes. Wooden-soled shoes are available and are worn by the younger people.

No precious coupons have to be given up for gifts of food and used clothing, or for fairly new clothing that has been washed and ironed. "You can't buy needles, elastic, scissors, hot water bottles. Bobby pins are very acceptable." Miss Young had one, which she kept for six months. Nail polish is very essential for the morale, she said. Acceptable foods include nuts, dried fruit, dried vegetables, tinned fruit, and fruit juices, syrup, jam and biscuits.

A substitute for all cosmetics, except cold available. Kleenex is very acceptable. She recounted the trials of undergoing air raids, with alarms going off 15 times a night. "We were bombed out several times ourselves. My mother slept for three nights on a bench in a riding stable and washed out of a horse trough.

"I'll never forget the time I picked up a glove and found some fingers in it," Miss Young said. First peacetime Christmas was the worst of all. There were no special treats, no toys. only had 23 cents worth of meat of our regular ration. My mother stood in line for hours waiting for six she said.

British people on doing without things. gg, British biscuits, English china, and Scottish woollens and tweeds are all being exported. "We aren't family would be the first to tell me not to complain. We were fortunate that none of us were killed." she said. "But since Europe's liberation we have sent a great deal of food to the continent.

think we are leaning over backwards to help The children of England have had no fun-there have been no parties, no picnics. The parents have been too busy to do anything for them. Reconstruction is proceeding in England. Prefabricated houses are going up. Buckingham Palace and the Tower of London are being repaired.

Dresses and rompers are being made from blackout curtains. Sandbags are emptied, dyed, and made into shopping bags. Gas mask containers are now handbags. Tin hats are flower containers. Thousands of British people wish to come to Canada, and are anxious to know Canada's immigration policy.

Her nieces and nephews talk constantly of a wonderful thing called a banana. The eldest, a nine-year-old, thinks she remembers what one tastes like. Miss Young was introduced by Mrs. E. S.

Davidson, thanked by Mrs. G. W. Auld. Pat and Lorrie Perkins, Van- couver, are spending part of the Easter vacation with their grandmother, Mrs.

G. I. Harron. Mr. and Mrs.

George N. Thomas, Winnipeg, will arrive this week to visit with Mr. Thomas' brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. R.

McK. Watt. Mr. and Mrs. Watt will meet their guests in Vancouver and will visit there for two days before they return to Chilliwack with their guests.
