Food Controller, "will probably increase by 9s. 6d. a week at Christmas."

An American artist who wanted to paint a storm at sea is reported to have
been lashed to a mast for four hours. We understand that he eventually
broke away and did it after all.

"What is England's finance coming to?" asks a City editor in a
contemporary.
