Pony Express .
Last week, Britain's only remaining mounted postman retired in favour of a Land Rover. In the inevitable march of civilisation, four legs gave way to four wheels. Dai Jones, hill farmer and part-time postman, of the wild, wet mountain country nearly Tregaron, Cardigan-shire, has left Tregaron Post Office before 8 o'clock three mornings a week for the last eleven years, to deliver and collect the mails at eight remote farmhouses buried deep in hills on the Cardigan-Brecknock border. To get there, he forded the River Camddwr once and the infant River Towy twice. Sometimes he had to walk in front of his horse, prodding snow with a long pole. But he has never failed to get through less than once a week, even during the winter of 1947. Dai does not expect that he will be able to put his uniform and mailbag away for good. He knows these hills like the back of his hand, and he knows that when the winter comes, they will have to call on four legs again. He knows that the time will come when four wheels will never get within miles of Dolgoch . When that happens, Britain will again have a ' pony express ' in operation, if only temporarily .
PICTURE SHOWS:- And Dai rides on, over the mud and gravel track. But soon, the track ends and he takes to the mountain proper.

St Valentines Day .
St . Valentine's Day is with us all once more . Secret loves will find expression in flowery , colourful but anonymous cards . Bunches of flowers will be delivered to many pretty miss's home - with mysterious cards attached . Others , more bold will willingly sign their names , proud and sure of their reception . Still others ( the very brave ) will arrive , flowers in hand , at the sweetheart's door .
Such a brave one is Johnny - or as he is more familiarly known in his neighbourhood '' The Beau Brummell of the Buildings " . Not for him the hidden love , the unspoken affection , the unrequited passion . He has always kept pretty Rosie in his sights . ( Not that his eye doesn't wander , and the '' one man one girl '' path is a difficult route ) . But come St . Valentine's and like the good , true suitor he is he makes straight for Rosie , Erring slightly on the way .- but nevertheless he reaches his objective , with flowers firmly grasped in one grubby hand .
Picture shows - Brave Johnny ( The Beau Brummell of the building) holds behind his back a bunch of flowers for his valentine, pretty Rosie .

It is one of the major tragedies of the beauteous young maiden's life that she must lose her carefully acquired tan each year when the longer nights and sunless days creep round , but not for this clever girl who has constructed for herself a cloche, using two pieces of glass from Daddy's tool shed , a little ingenuity and a Do-it-yourself Handbook.
This young maiden can now keep the tan in her suntan intact .

The Port of London is the whole of the tidal portion of the River Thames , stretching from Teddington to the sea , a distance of 69 miles . There is no Waterfront , as there is in Liverpool or Southampton ; instead , the vast business of the port is carried on quietly along the narrow strip of water which cuts the Metropolis in two . There are five dock systems in London , covering an area of 4,140, acres 673 acres of which are water . the five systems are the London and St . Katherine docks , the surrey commercial , the West India and Millwall , the East India , and the Royal Victoria and Albert and George the fifth docks . The port of London also includes Tilbury docks , which are near the sea , twenty six miles downstream from London bridge .
