In the fire blitz, shops, restaur- ant and hotel vanished within a few hours.

A DREAM CITY OUT OF RUINS

Replanning of the cen- tre of Coventry, with ring- ed, and radial roadways to relieve traffic conges- tion is proposed in a scheme adopted by the city council.

the

Hlatoric buildings which escaped the big raid on Novem- ber 14.15, and the cathedral ruins, are preserved as features In open spaces and gardens. The scheme prepared by city architect, Mr. D. E. Gibson. will be submitted to the Ministry of Works and Buildings for con- sideration as a guide to future legis ation on the redevelopment of blitzed towns.

A new civic centre is grouped around a central park on the site of the present pool meadow and provision is made for an enter- fainments centre, big hotels, 21 main shopping centre and market on the arcade system.

Where rehousing becomes this necessary

it is proposed should be in tall blocks of Nata to release land for open spaceş and gardens,

The Council also decided that the general rate when made should not exceed the present Agure of 145, in the pound.

In the absence of any announce- ment regarding Government policy, this proposal was based upon there being a Government grunt equivalent to the loss rate income arising from air raids.

LEFT FILM

TO JOIN UP

of

As the title of a gangster film flashed on the screen of a cinema in Exeter more than 200 boys hurriedly left for the exits. Yet they had come to the cinema ex- pressly to see the Alm.

The youngsters had just heard a recruiting appeal for the Air Training Corps. It came at the end of a stage show by a band of R.A.F. entertainers.

The appeal urged the lads to "enrol now.” So they signed on in the foyer of the cinema--the first of the second hundred thou- sand.

FROM BAD TO NURSE

A husband told the magistrate at Highgate, London: "When my wife made life somewhat dif- ficult for me by expecting, me to do the housework and walt on her hand and foot, I consulted friends older than us and they suggested a baby might make her more rea- sonable..

....

"A baby came along and then my troubles increased.

"I had to get up at 5.30 in the morning to give the baby its bottle and do many other things.”. The husband, who had now left: home, agreed to pay his wife £1 a week with 10s, a week for the baby.
