LONDON CARRIES ON
British Official Wireless.
DAMAGED SHOPS EEOPEN
Rec. 6.30 p.m. Rugby, Sept. 2L The slogan "business as usual" appears on most business "premises in all parts of London which have been damaged by enemy bombing. In particular shops partially wrecked in the early part of the week are carrying on, having been temporarily refurnished and restored. Windows blown in by blast are replaced by wooden shutters and other makeshifts and workmen are busily engaged replenishing fittings. The minimum of interference occurred in premises not entirely destroyed by blast or fire. Even in Oxford Street, where some big stores suffered severely from bombing, most of the shops will open again on Monday and in some of them fresh window displays on newly erected shelves and stands were already attracting customers to-day. The wreckage has been almost entirely cleared from streets in the most popular thoroughfares.
