(Received This Day, 9.55 a.m.) RUGBY, December 4. “Reunion Day" passed off happily and successfully, when some 5.000 parents and friends visited children in the safe areas. Many special trains left London taking visitors to towns in the reception areas and queues for the trains formed as early as 7 o’clock. At all stations within the areas groups of happy children expectantly awaited the train. For many it was the first meeting with their parents since the outbreak of the war and parties reminiscent of Christmas were held.
