BEAT-THE-BLITZ GIRLS
LONDON, Jan. 4
As 200 beat-the-blitz girls went to work in a London factory last night, Miss Eva Butlin, 36-year-old chargehand, said: “Night work has solved their raids problem; they are glad to be here instead of crouching in shelters.”
The secret is that the factory has gone underground and is itself practically an air-raid shelter.
The girls believe it to be the first of its kind because it has been built only since their original factory was bombed some weeks ago.
