SCHOOLS IN DOVER
NO PLACE FOR CHILDREN ALDERMAN REMONSTRATES WITH PARENTS. SAYS MINISTRY SHOULD ACT. (Ey Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.40 a.m.) LONDON, October 13. While children were registering for attendance at six Dover schools which reopened today for the first time since Dunkirk, Aiderman Cowell, chairman: of the Dover Education Committee, warned parents that Dover was no place for children. “If a shell from the German Channel guns falls on one of our schools and kills and injures children, only the . parents themselves will be to blame,” he observed. “We get shells without stint, and the children are living in caves, getting pale 'and miserable. The Ministry of Home Security should put its foot down and get the chijdren away.”Heavy gunfire from British coastal batteries shook the town as the committee broke up. A blast from previous German shelling smashed all'the windows in one school. A German communique stated: “Long range guns yesterday shelled the Dover radio stations, with results which could be observed.”
