COOK'S TO THE RESCUE
Sta,—For close on two years your paper has contained articles and letters complaining of the planning and carrying out of the evacuation scheme. Now Mrs. Williams-Ellis praises the group-colonisation scheme as carried out by the Friends' War Victims Relief Committee, and urges that their work should be extended. The week before, your issue of July 4th contained an article celebrating the centenary of Thomas Cook's institution, and showing what varied travels and transport his company became responsible for.
Isn't that the solution for the evacuation scheme? Place it in the hands of Thomas Cook and Son! Their London office must be doing much less work, and could surely develop many new and useful ideas to contribute to the comfort and happiness of the evacuees. As a celebration in these times of a century of useful service, a new departure such as this could not be bettered.—I am, yours faithfully, HELEN HAGUE. Rotherwood Cottage, Meris Beach, P. Quebec.
