CHILDREN’S STORIES
LETTERS FROM RECEPTION AREAS. LONDON, October 5. Two stories from the reception areas where school children evacuated from London are accommodated: A postcard from a boy to his mother back at home: "Dear Mum, I am full of plums. There is a plum tree at the bottom of the garden. Love, Derek.” • A pert Cockney child, in his village was given an egg for breakfast. He looked it all over, then declared: “This ain’t a proper egg. It ain’t got ‘Danish’ on it.”
