FROM THE CAMPS

A private writes from Essex :

"I wonder if you realise what a boon your weekly paper is to some of us. To quote an instance : Finding myself one Saturday night alone and friendless in a remote little town in Oxfordshire, I shall never forget how cheered I was at spotting your well-known green sheets in a stationer's shop there. An hour with the 'S.W.G.' soon put me right."
