Aviation .students and school pupils must cross the streets frequently. While mo. • drivers are careful and use caution, circumstances may lead to confusion and an accident.

A car was approaching from the south. Mrs. Johansen became confused for a moment, turned too close to the line cf aviation students and hit one cf them. Another jumped on the running board to avert being hit. It was fortunate that no one was ser-iously hurt. Mrs Johansen regretted the incident greatly.

Twenty RAE bcmberrs were lost ir the newest assault as compared to the went ,’-six lost in the saturation raid on Berlin less than 24 hours before. The several hundred four-engihed bombers which returned to Berlin showered the city with hundreds of blockbusters and probably 100,000 more in: endiaries to set new blazes. It was considered doubtful that exhausted fire brigades were able to cope effectively with the second great conflagration visited en the city.
