THE AIR DEFENCE CADET CORPS

Sta,—Honour ought to be given where honour is due. The existing, and most valuable, Air Defence Cadet Corps has now been absorbed in the more comprehensive Air Training Scheme, placing readily at the disposal of the latter all its records and all its experience. This is a moment for placing on record the immense debt which the Air Defence Cadet Corps has owed throughout its existence to its treasurer, Mr. Simon Marks, who when any financial problem arose was invariably ready to contribute cheerfully and liberally to its solution. Knowing something of the facts, I hope you may find space for these few lines of singularly well-deserved recognition.-
