LONDON CHILDREN
MANY SAVED FROM DEATH OR INJURY. UNDER EVACUATION SCHEME. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, November 10. The Ministry of Health estimates that the evacuation scheme has already saved 9000 London school children from death or serious injury. The calculation, which is based on the casualty ratios and the child population, indicates that 4500 children who are alive today would have been killed if there had been no evacuation. Another 4500 would have been seriously injured. ' These figures are for school children in the Greater London area, and do not include the “under fives” or children in the evacuation areas apart from London.
