Christmas in England Best Since 1939
London dispatch notes a largely bomb-free Christmas in Britain with 1 500 000 turkeys available and rationed nuts and sweets for families. Many rely on gas rings for cooking and some opt pork as turkey alternatives while tree prices are fixed at 40 cents per foot and hotel parties reach high costs. The post office warns against sending fish gifts by mail due to six day journeys.
