Food for thought

Sir: Ghana is hungry: an egg costs over £2, a tin of milk powder over £10. Is it true that the EEC intends to throw milk and butter into the sea?

We are also mentally starved; serious book-buying is impossible. I could give the addresses of several schools and libraries that would be glad of books, either literary works or reproductions of works of art. Daphne Hereward
