In the Dark Ages, women wore corsets of leather with wcoden plates up the front to confine thickening waists. »In Down through the centuries the corset has been blamed for whooping cougni, headaches, earaches, tuberculosis, apoâ€" plexy, poor vision and dxffxculty of breathing."

If the Home Guards, in coâ€"operation with the regular forces, have not proâ€" vided an effective answer to air inâ€" vasion, I am greatly mistaken. In a «denseiy populated country like England, well organized for defence, the danger from parachutists should kbe reduced to a minimum. In fact, the dangers airâ€"borne troops culd run should te almost prohibitive, esmecially as they would have to run the gauntlet of fighter aircraft and The Finns alone had time to create an organization to deal with this dangâ€" er. In spite of the nature of their ccuntry, in many ways favourable to parachutists, that crganization proved effective. They would thus be deprived of the oppurtunities of effecting surprise and of causing confusion which ccourred in other theatres of war. Dangers That Will Confront Parachutists It has been these factors which make this kind of air attack a formidable threat. (Passed by British Censor â€" No P1680.) In any form of operations there is no doubt that the centres of resistance provided by the Home Guard should be of immense value. They would restrict enemy movements and liberate field army troops for offensive action. In particular enemy airâ€"borne troops would for the first time encounter an organization prepared to Gdeal with them. ‘The closest coâ€"operation with the military commanders exists, The miliâ€" tary commanders are responsible for seeing that the training and defence duties of the Home Guard accord with military policy.
