Social Conditions.
There has been no marked change in the social conditions
beyond the continued steady demolition of old cottage property and
its replacement by blocks of flats.

purchase of unusual quantities of goods with money withdrawn
from clubs and in consequence the extent of Christmas shopping
was much reduced. Fortunately beyond rather trivial repercussions
of this nature the air raid precautions have given rise to no effects
whatever.
Unemployment.
