When air-raid sirens awakened Miss Margaret Dougan in her flat at Katowice, Poland, at 5.30 a.m. on the morning of September 1, she assumed that the town was undergoing its first black-out test, which citizens had been warned to expect. Through her bedroom window she watched as bombing planes flew low over buildings about a mile away, j Sfie heard loud explosions and saw smoke rising above the roof-tops. But her only thought was that the i authorities were being unnecessarily noisy about the test. Within a few minutes the porter knocked at her door and told her that she must go with everyone else to the cellar of the building. When she returned to her flat the telephone was ringing and she lifted the receiver to hear the voice of Mr J. W. Thwaites, the British Consul, saying calmly: “ I hope you are getting ready to leave. Thaf wasn’t fun.” A Real One Telling the story on her return to London, Miss Dougan, who was representative in Poland of the Czech Refugee Trust Fund said: “ I thought Mr Thwaites was pulling my leg at first. Then I realised that the airraid had been a real one.” j Miss Dougan’s first thought was | the 1000 Czech refugees, for whose safety and evacuation she was responsible. The military authorities placed a train at her disposal and the 1 limited number of coaches were soon filled with women, children and sick people. The 500 men who remained had to walk to Kielce, where the refugees had been told to assemble again. The refugee train finally reached Cracow —a local train journey normally taking one and a-quar-ter hours —26 hours after leaving Katowce. With the staff of the Brit- | ish Consulate at Katowice Miss Dougan left by road the same night. “ From Cracow until we finally entered Rumania,” said Miss Dougan, “ we seemed to be in the middle of air-raids wherever we went. Somej how one never seems to get used to | air-raids. Machine-gunning raids . were quite the worst we had to experience.”
