How evacuation would be car- ried out, if it became necessary, in the peak holiday season, was de- scribed by Mr. Walter Elliot, Minister of Health, recently.

Mr. Elliot, apeaking at a confor- ence in Tunbridge Wells of local ́authorities In Kent and Sussex, cald that he saw no reason to be: lieve that evacuation would have to take place while the holiday season was in full swing, but if It did, special difficulties would be bound to arise in holiday resorts. The Government's plan contem- plated the dispersal of 3,000,000 people -mainly school children with teachers, younger children with their | mothers, and expectant mothers-from congested areas into relatively safer parts of the country within three or four days.

their

This operation was so gigantic and complex that the Southern Railway time-table for the exacuation of 475,~ 000 persons from London alone ran to 130 pages of close printing. This time- table was only one of many.

OVERCROWDING AT FIRST

To try to arrange for carying num- bers of people to be delivered to holi- day centres according to the season of the year would introduce an un- workable complication.

People on hollday, he said, should not attempt to take their children back to an evacuable area If an emergency arose. But all who had essential work to do would be expected to return to their poste.

There would inevitably be aver- crowding in holiday towns at the be- ginning of an emergency, and for a short while the ordinary standard of one person per habitable room would have to be exceeded. The overcrowd- ing would not last long because the evacuees would be redistributed.

Mr. Elliot announced a second addi- tion to the list of evacuation areas. He has had the list under consideration following protests from many of the Councils adjoining London against their inclusion among neutral areas. To the original list of evacuation areas published last January a number of big towns in the North were recently added. The amended list became known as Plan 2.

MORE EVACUATION AREAS

If an emergency were to arise now, said Mr. Elliot, Evacuation Plan 2 would be put into effect.

DOG TRACK VISITORS "TERRIFIED"

Reference to mysterious fears on: the part of people attending the grey-- hound racing track at Southall was made at the Old Bailey yesterday,. when Edward Henry Sampson, 53, a bookmaker, was found guilty of as- saulting George Hutchinson.

Inspr. Matthews said that Sampson had been a bookmaker for 30 years, and had been on the Southall track 10 years.
