New towns have sprung up irf Great Britain almost overnight, built to serve as supply denots for military stores, a 8.8. C. broadcaster stated recently. The biggest of these new towns handles Britain’s stores, and it covers many square miles of what was once known as onen countryside. There are miles of roads, of railway tracks, or streets and neat semi-detached houses. Many of these houses are the billets of Auxiliary service girls who work along with the men on some of the toughest jobs, such as driving electric trucks and cranes and packing war materials. The depots handle stores ranging from bullets to the biggest guns at a rate of thousands of tons a week.
