SECRET VILLAGE HOMES FOR ARMS EMPLOYEES
(By A Special Correspondent)
SECRET VILLAGES · are to be built in the countryside for aircraft and munition workers so that they can sleep in safety if the industrial towns where they work are blitzed. Fleets of motor coaches will carry them to and from the factories.
This plan has been devised by the Minister of Labour and his advisers.
The site of one village has al- ready been chosen in the North of England and architects and build- ers are at work on the plans.
The Government estimates that: the average population for these mushroom villages will be about 5,000, but vary according to the number of workers in the parti - cular factory served by the vil- luge.
