British Workers Ready For

First Real Holiday

In Seven Years

(By Muriel Penn).

London, June 2.

Over 15,000,000 British workers are preparing to take their first real holiday, in seven years. Half of them will be enjoying the first paid holiday of their lives.

Some will go to the country, to the Lake District in Cumberland, to the Moors in Yorkshire, Devonshire or Scotland; but for the vast ma- jority a holiday means the seaside-fourteen days basking in the sun on the beach or swim- ming in the open sea. For despite the proverbial that at Southend-on-Sen, Jack of sunshine in the British Isles, every Briton thinking of his anal holiday dreams of long sunny days spent out of doors with a modicum of his favourite sport-ericket, tennis, golf, bowls thrown in.

A chosen few will go abroad to add a change of customs and menu to the holiday from the Irum-dram of their working lives. But these will be only a handful even of those who wish to go; for numbers this year are strictly limited by shortage of transport, food and for turists on accommodation the Continent.

But all round the shore of Britain, coastal resorts are preparing to receive the first of their summer guests in a pre- war atmosphere,
