Viscount Bennett Elevation and Wartime Pipeline Work
Former Prime Minister Bennett will be known as Viscount Bennett after elevation to the peerage in the birthday honors. Work has begun on a 210 mile pipeline from Montreal to Portland Maine, expected to finish in October with operation by Christmas. Royal Air Force daylight raids over northern France have grown formidable, with German fighters often avoiding them. Winnipeg electors face a referendum in November on mayoral selection with council choosing a member if preferred. Croydon bombed houses see women carpenters and joiners repairing, including a widow flower-seller, dressmaker, barmaid and cook. PNB Belgrade says many Communist agitators and Jews were shot near Valjevo after a sabotage attempt. Viscount Halifax warned Hitler of the RAF’s bite as a post-graduate course. California studio visiting privileges have been withdrawn for the summer.
