BUNKS FOR SHELTERS.
GREAT PRODUCTION. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, Sept. 29. The plans are being rapidly pushed forward for supplying public air-raid shelters with bunks in order that an increasing portion of London’s population may sleep in safety and relative comfort. More than 1,000,000 of these bunks are being produced, and it is expected that the first big batch will be delivered to shelters in 10 days’ time.
Made in. three tiers, the lowest of which is of wood so as to provide a seat during the day, samples of these bunks were tested to-day by A'dmiral Sir Edward Evans, one of London’s regional commissioners, who expressed his approval. It is expected that a good deal of the wood from which tile bottom bunk and the frames will bo made will be obtained from houses which have been damaged by Nazi bombs.
