PLAN READY-MADE NURSERIES FOR THE UNDER 5
MASS-PRODUCED nursery centres, their gaily- painted walls ready to be erected in any part of the country, are planned for Britain's evacuated chil- dren.
These huts will be furnished with cheerful toys for little people aged from two to five. The toys are being made by working parties in schools, A.R.P. depots and clubs all over the country.
The material comes from bomb- ed houses, packing cases--and "anything we can get hold of." Lady Allen of Hurtwood told the "Daily Mirror,"
She has raised £8.545 for the Nursery School Associatio!! [ Great Britain so that a scheme for Emergency nursery centres can be started immediately.

It has been built for a regular express service between two ports Black Sea nearly €10 on the
