New Voices Of London
Two new sounds are becoming familiar to those of us who go about in raided London, says an English writer. One of them haunts the West End streets where bombs have dropped among the big shops at night. It is the sound of burglar alarms buzzing forlornly somewhere behind broken plateglass windows. Nobody has time to turn them off; the owners are asleep in their own suburban shelters and the hurrying A.R.P. men have something better to do. The other sound is heard in the morning. More than once I have woken to hear it in the street outside and to wonder which of my neighbours has suffered while I slept. It is the sound of broken glass being shovelled into heaps.
