War Experiences In English Town

WIFE OF VICAI WRITES OF INCIDENT! BOTH ‘ PATIIETIC AND HUMOBOUB

Enlightening sideiighfs on the cheerful service and sacrifices of

personal comfort being made inl

wartime llmgla-nd are contained tn a letter received recently bya nowa- paper man from the wife of a vicar in a normally quiet cathedral town ln the east oi’ England.

Can you imagine our quiet little town with its orderly and rather dull life, suddenly clasping 1.100 unruly Whltechaipel slum children and alien refugee youngsters to its bosom?" she writes. "Well, we

have. It has taken a bit of dolnl.‘ for the refugee little ones -nearly 1431mm“

100 of them-spoke not a wom of English. The clay before the evacu- ation from London s. ship with these boys had arrived there, so they were bundled into the train and sent on-llttle bits of misery swept up by some kindly Jewish society from the no-man's land be- tween Germany and Poland.

“I borrowed a. large, empty house which belonged to a friend, got sacks filled with straw. any old furniture. blankets and crooks, and started a home for fifty 0f 1119' boys. .

“The insistence of the children on receiving kosher food created a dif- ficult situation. Can you imagine

this town producing kosher meat. 1e

kosher butter. kosher everything within the first week of a war? They went on hunger strike be- cause it wasn't the right sort of food, and refused plates if' they had the slightest chip, because pork grease might have been absorbed through the earthenware!

“Never mind. they are good little vegetarians now, and are bcsiflfllfli! to talk English." '

A daughter of the family has done her bit by opening a ‘Hcad Cleans- ing Cllnlc," where the London sum children and the little refugees re- ceive much-needed treatments.

Two humorous anecdotes con- cerned with air-raid precautions also are included in the mother's letter. ‘ n

"We get a lot of fun 011i H! i1 8-11 she says. “The local A_R.P. heed is fat. elderly and DOTHIIOIIS- We had a, fake air-raid alarm on the second night of the war. This E611- tleman arrived ai thc hcadqllflrwfs in a mustard and black i-wecd coat, cream and ccrisc striped pajama logs and rubber boots He darted about shouting orders everywhere. but no one could understand a word .._hc had forgotten his false teeth!

"At another time an air warden Saw a. brilliant hall light through a front door. He rang the bell and the door was opened by an elderly maid in her nightgown, mackintosh and gas mask. He was shown into the drawing room, to find the mis- tress and hcr sisicr seated in state In nightgowns, fur coats and gas masks!"
