They want Americans to like them, for they do not consider themselves Europeans,' but they feel that we are their closest "kin", said Dr. Thomas Stringfield, who recently returned from a year's service as resident surgeon in Botley's Park Hospital near Chertsey, England Dr. Stringfield, local physician, son of Dr. and Mrs. Sam L String field, volunteered his services to the Emergency Medical Service of the British Ministery of Healfti last summer and left here in Sep tember, 1941 for a year's stay. His going to England was spon sored by the American Red Cross which called for volunteers for England's Health.' Ministery. The hospital in which lie ser ed was a 1,500 bed institution and was lo cated about 30 miles from London. Both Civilians and soldiers were treated in the hospital, there being many more of the latter, according to Dr. Stringfield. "They are a most hospitable peo ple. They will invite you for a meal and the meat in all proba bility will represent their entire week's rationing. In fact if a guest comes to stay any length of time, it is the courteous thing to bring along one's own meat," he continued. There has been no rationing of tea or coffee in England, according to Dr. Stringfield. The Govern ment feels that it would be bad for the people not to have their ac customed tea. "More milk is being drunk in England today than ever before, yet you can't buy a glass of milk," said Dr. Stringfield, who explain ed that milk is being rationed to the children, war workers engag ed in heavy defense industries and the hospital patients. The health of the English; peo ple is said to be better than before the war, Many attribute this to the fact that the blackouts are making hem live more regularly and that despite the rationing of certain foods, as a rule, people are eating more sensibly. In speaking of the custom of drinking tea, Dr. Stringfield says the English can't understand the American's desire to ruin his tea with lemon juice, as they all want it served with cream and sugar. He said that while he joined in the afternoon and morning tea drink ing, he did not learn to like tea as the English, who drink it as the American does his soft drink. "The most depressing thing in England is the nightly blackout. Night falls very early, and things are in total darkness, yet there are more theatres open today in Lon don than in New York City. The government encourages this, as they feel the people must have entertainment," he said in speak- of the social life. England appears to be one large garden in its highly cultivated state. There are no weeds and every possible stretch of land is producting, according to Dr. String- field. "Edinburgh is the most beauti ful city I have ever seen, but the famed Scotish Highlands can't com pare in beauty with our own moun tains here. There are no trees and they are practically all covered in heather, he continued. , While the Britisher wants tha American to have a good opinion of him, he still feels that in most instances he has more culture than the American. They are more con servative than the Americans but at the same time they have great respect for the initiation and the mass production capacity of the American. Above all, according to Dr. Stringfield, they envy the self suffciency of the country, as England is so dependent on pro ducts from other countries. "The more or less radical groups often stage demonstrations in Tra falgar Square for a second front, but the average Britisher, while willing to make any sacrifice does not want another 'Dunkirk'," said Dr. Stringfield. Dr. Stringfield, after a year in England, in association with the people in a great crisis, has admi ration for their fine qualities, and states that while lacking the en thusiasm for life that the average American possesses they are abso lutely dependable. And as he add ed, he knew them at a time when their enthusiasm would naturally be at low ebb. The synoptophore, an ingenious instrument used by the Royal Air Force, trains eye muscles to per fect balance so that a pilot can judge height and distance accu rately.
