Morris, Hedstrom Ltd. Defy

the "Blitz."

rE London office of Morris, Hedstrom Ltd., at 9 Golden Lane, E.C.I, was destroyed by a bomb early in Sep tember. The staff received temporary accommodation in the offices of the com pany’s auditors. In seeking new pre mises, they had the choice of two build ings, and finally moved into Bassishaw House, in Basinghall Street. Shortly afterwards, the other building which they had looked at was bombed and destroyed. In the blitzkrieg at the end

of December, Bassishaw House was totally destroyed.

So now the firm’s London office is seek ing its fourth address under bombing conditions. But no one has even sug gested that the office should be moved away from London. That is the spirit of Britain.

Mr. P. L. Taylor, District Superin tendent of Civil Aviation at Salamaua, New Guinea, resigned recently to take up a position with Stephen’s Aviation Co. Ltd.
