Lord Wooilton, minister of Re- construction, has announced plans for housing 10,000 bombed-out vic- tims this winter in isitioned and reconditioned houses in the center of London. Many more will be sheltered in 10,000 huts being built with wood and'asbestos with concrete floors. Just To Bé | Older persons, whose homes still lare intact, have taken up their nightly residence underground just to bé cn the safe side. Some have been tube dwellers so long that when they return to the surface, the unfamiliarity of a night breeze and a comfortable bed probably will' keep them - awake. ly each night the older rn to the shelters, unaware that the menace from above is all but over. The grimy subwav will be their haven until the war is over; cnly then will they grasp the fact that life on the surface can be safe. The 1 tube dwelling is at the Liverpool station at the end of the underground line. Its half=mile of unused extension sheltered 8,000 persens nightly during the height of the blitz. The number has now dwindled to 900. Lullaby Of Trains The seem contented to enter the strange, fantastic dormitory rather than he: the frightening skirl of the alert signal which occasionally breaks the night on the surface. Assigned to certain space in the lines of triple tier bunks, they sléep in comparative peace although thousands of persons pour in and ut cf the sub trains at their elbows. They carry their homes around with them—suitcases crammed with salvaged possessions. Some curl up in their bunks under coats; others are lucky enough to have blankets. In the mornings they tidy them- selves as much as possible and de- part for work with a “Cheerio, old boy, see you again tonight at the Liverpool Station.” old woman said she h night on the board an underground station bunk for five years “I am one of the few who never has been able to drop off to sleep while the trains are running,” she smiled. “So I just wait until they stop around midnight and from then until about 6 o'clock in the morning I sleep like a top. “It may sound silly, but in a way I will miss the subway living. I have struck up so many friend- ships and that means much to a woman of my age.” Romance Underground Romance, too, lives with the tube dwellers, some of whom have spent their evenings underground for the past five years. Take the case of Meyer Moses, shelter warden at one of the larger stations. | Moses ,an old clothes merchant, who came to London 23 years ago, lived three years in the subways at night before he was appointed a shelter warden, & non-paying post. That job brought him his wife. “When the first blitz started back in 1940, I was cut on the street selling clothes as usual,” Moses said. “Then the German bombers drop- ped their stuff wholesale. At first I would just look up in the sky and stay there. But one day a bomb hit too close and ruined my merchan- dise, so I joined the ‘flying squad’ —that’'s what we call people who run to the underground 'during an alert. { | “Every night for three years I |spent in the shelters. I finally be- came a warden, which makes me| very proud. Every day I carry on| ss on the surface and at | underground.” } Moses found his future wife| |huddled in one of the three-tiered | 5 THIMBLE THEATR PALOOKA JOE TERRY LEE DICK TRACY GASOLINE ALLEY B |bunks on a station platform. She | | told him how she had been bombed | {out. Moses’ heart went out to her| and she took it and his name. | | “Pate has been kind to me," Moses says. “I would undergo the \blitz all over again. I'm 45 and a happy man with the wife I found |in a shelter.
