SCHOOLS IN DOVER TO RE-OPEN

i WARNING TO PARENTS ) i SHELLS FROM GERMAN GI NS (Rec.. 11.40 a.m.) London, Oct., 13. While children are registering for attendances at six Dover schools which i will be re-opened to-day for the first ' ( time since the evacuation from Dunkirk, Alderman Powell, chairman of the Dover Eduction Committee*, warned parents that Dover was no place for children. "If a shell from German Channel guns falls on one , of our schools and kills and injures children, only the parents themselves | will be to blame. We get the shells without stint and the children are living in caves and getting pale and miserable. The Ministry of Home Security should put its foot down and ge l the children away.” Heavy gunfire from British coastal butteries shook the town as the committee broke up. A blast from a ; revious German shelling smashed all the ! windows in one school. A German communique staled that 1 long-range guns yesterday shelled Dover radio stations with results which could be observed.—B.O.W.
