Londoners were treated to a rare sight last night as the fleets of British bombers, setting out on their mission, flew directly over the capital a course they seldom take. Thousands in the streets cheer ed aa the big planes roared over, one of the bombers signalling by flashing its cabin lights in the "V" for victory signal three dots and a dash all the way across the city. . .

The activities listed are en titled to preferences in the hir ing of workers.

Changes included extension of coverage to production of con struction materials, such as paint and gypsum products; manufac ture of portable and pre-fabri-cated buildings; newsreel work. and production of crutches.
