LONDON'S new evacun- tion scheme, which will go into operation whenever air bombing starts, will take six days to complete.

It is officially known as "Plan 4.". The names of 33,000 children have

been added to the register, making a total of 83,000 in London and 20 outer areas, registered under the new Rebeme.

"But we are still disappointed with the response," said n London County Council offcial.

"We are registering at the rate of a thousand a day, but that covers 400 registration centres,

The parents of 387,000 children still appear to be unwilling to send their children out of London." I visited several registration ven- tres to see why, says a correspondent, First I went to White Lion-street School, N. I expected to see queues of anxious mothers. Instead Iound an anxious Registrar.

Mrs. Zazzara is a widow. She has a Bs. a week pension which is sup- plemented by the wages of her other two children.

"But mostly it seems to be left to the children to decide.. Parents tells us, 'Oh, Jimmy doesn't want to go or Joan doesn't think she'd like It.

These are nil old excuses. But I discovered a new one. It is the parachutista.

Two registrars reported that some parents are worried about the dan- ger of parachute troops landlag in rural areas.,

"They feel that if the country is invaded and they are separated from their families, they will never meet again," one registrar sold.

"They would selfishly rather 'all be blown up together than give their children a chance of safety,"

A LITTLE boy, playing- in his father's garden at Massy, a suburb of Parls, saw a parachute open below an airplane.

He ran to tell the police, who caught three Nazi parachutists.

M. Mandel, Minister of the Interior, sent the boy a Bavings bank book with £11 to his credit.
