PASTOR HALL
The performances of Pastor
Hall, at the Tryon Theatre tomor
row afternoon and evening, prom
ises many thrills. In addition to
witnessing one of the most stirring
Kramas ever presented, the au
dience will have the fun of seeing,
just prior to the 9 o’clock perform
ance, the lucky numbers drawn in
the contest for the cocker spaniel
puppy “Miss Britannia” and the
typewriter and gold brocade eve
ning bag now on display in M.is
sildine’s window. Mr. M. B. Flynn
will be in charge of the drawing,
which will be held on the stage of
the theatre and Miss Elizabetn
Anne Vining will draw the num
bers.
Although admission tickets will
be sold at the box office at the
regular price of 30c, it is hoped
that all who wish to help augment
the funds required for carrying
on the Tryon workroom activities,
will purchase the 50c tickets be
ing sold by the British War Re-
Society, at Missildine’s. The
of th e theatre, acting
maividuallv, have made their con
tribution to the cause by donating

Miss Nash’s Brother Writes
Os Life In England
The local branch of the British
War Relief Society has received
permission from Miss Diana Nash
to print the following excerpts
from a letter which she has just
received from her brother in
England:
“The family might possibly be
interested in a first hand account
of a real air raid on a small town
of no military importance
“There are 42 air wardens for
a population of 7,000. They each
have their own district and in
normal times get to know their
own people and their troubles, give
advice on problems of gas masks,
black out, shelters, etc., and gen
erally act the part of big brother
and maiden aunt. When the syren
goes they make a tour of their
district and report to their group
post for orders. Their role is first
to give information of the fall of
bombs in their district, and con
sequent damage to houses, gas,
water, etc. This information goes
to the central control, where all
the heads of services are collected,
a controller in general charge, a
chief warden (that’s me) the
town engineer, and the doctor.
When we have a fairly complete
picture of the damage, we can
send our various services where
they are most urgently needed.
That is the theory. Now for re
ality.
“When the syren sounded we
were just sitting down to tea, Isa
and myself, (Edith having gone
into Sherborne to tea,) and off
I went on my bicycle. It is about
two miles from the house —a dis
tance I covered in 5% minutes—
