III. GANGA DASSERA FAIR IN DELHI.

III. GANGA DASSERA FAIR IN DELHI - Ganga Dassera [Ganga Dusshera] celebrations are usually held in Hardwar and the Gangotri, from where the Sacred Ganges springs. This year, however, due to restricted travel facilities, pilgrims in Delhi and from places in the north performed the religious ritual on the banks of the Jumna. At the temples thousands of Hindu devotees collected to take part in the annual festival. In the very early hours of the morning, long before sunrise, the procession of pilgrims proceeds towards the Sacred Jumna. In the background is the ancient Red Fort of Sha Jahan. This is the early morning dip of purification. Every year on the occasion of this festival, a big fair is held for the pilgrims.

Cultural squads from Punjab, Bombay, Bengal and Malabar, and all parts of India, gave an open air display of how the Communist Party has been carrying forward its message to the people through folk dances and songs, awakening the people to the urgent need to defend India, and the right to build a world in which people and their culture can be free to develop all their potentialities.

V. MONSOON COMES TO BOMBAY - Pictures of Bombay monsoon and one of the biggest traffic jams of recent years in the city.

V. MONSOON COMES TO BOMBAY - The monsoon strikes Bombay and the city's already over-burdened transport services collapsed completely under abnormal weather conditions. City workers enjoyed a forced holiday - and many offices in the city closed down through lack of workers. For some hours Bombay became the Venice of the East but without the picturesque gondolas to relieve the transport problems. Taxi drivers and gharry-wallahs reaped a harvest in Bombay's worst traffic tie-up of recent years. Forty families living in this collapsed four storey building miraculously escaped death through the keen foresight of the area Fire Brigade officer - who noticed the building sagging under the incessant downpour. After a four hour complete paralysis, traffic began to function, but ineffectually for the remainder of the day.

Lieutenant Colonel Jalal M Shah welcomed the gatherings: "Major-General Candy, Major-General Rankin, ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the committee, it is my great pleasure and privilege to welcome you all warmly to this Medical Congress. I think it is a happy coincidence that the congress is meeting here in this the Centenary Year of the J J Hospital". Dr Lieutenant M M Lenczner referred to the sad death of Dr Padshah: "To commemorate this irreparable loss, I invite you all to stand up and remain two minutes in silence". In his presidential speech, Lieutenant Colonel Sir Jamshedji Duggan said: "We treat friends and foes alike. The call upon our humanism and duty in the present war is worse and urgent. Let us shake off our differences of caste, creed, colour and political bias and really rally round the banner of the Allies and do our humanitarian bit in this inhuman fight history has ever known and live up to the noblest traditions of our responsible profession. I thank you".

VII. EAST BENGAL BEATS MOHAN BAGAN - Thrilling pictures of Calcutta football's old rival teams - Mohan Bagan and East Bengal.

VII. EAST BENGAL BEATS MOHAN BAGAN - In Calcutta, a very large crowd saw the favourite and veteran Mohan Bagan suffer their first defeat of the football season against East Bengal, the IFA league Champions of last year. The teams were presented before Sir john Herbert, Governor of Bengal, who was an interested spectator. A solitary goal decided the match and East Bengal, by virtue of their win moved up to the top of the table on goal average. Territorially, Mohan Bagan enjoyed more of the game in either half. But most of their attack was futile before the outstanding play of the East Bengal Custodian. East Bengal and Mohan Bagan are old rivals in Calcutta football. Backed by a few newcomers in the team, East Bengal played with better determination and more cohesion in their ranks that gave them the deserved victory.

Units of an infantry battalion of an Indian State held a parade in honour of the distinguished visitors from the home country. After the parade the pipers ceremoniously led the guests through the camp. They were garlanded by the men on this occasion. In the village of Keren, Indian troops lined the main street to cheer the members of the council. Informality was evidence throughout the tour, and whether in the deserts of El Alamein or in the mountains of Keren, it was a happy meeting of India's Defence Council Representatives with India's fighting men. At Cyprus, the Governor of the Island received the members. In Syria, the party, after inspecting the famous Infantry Battalion, spent some time with the men of the battalion viewing the ruins of Baalbec. Back home at the airport at Karachi, enjoying a cup of tea and fully satisfied with their tour.
