ACTION DEPLORED
RETURN TO THE CITIES CHILD EVACUEES fElec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (British Official Wireless.) Reed. 2.15 p.m. RUGBY, Aug. 8. The Ministry of Information has issued a pamphlet to reinforce the reproof which the King administered to parents, who have been bringing children back to the cities from the country. Fifty thousand children 'have returned to London during the last six months. The pamphlet states that the wholesale return of children from the country would ruin two years’ work, besides exposing the children to the danger of raids which the authorities regard by no means over. City children are rapidly losing their city habits. They have adopted the country early-to-bed habit and have become interested in farm animals, ploughing, sowing and harvesting. Far from the evacuee imposing his manners and customs of speech on the native, it is the reverse.
