QUIET GOOD FRIDAY
CROWDED CHURCHES IN BRITAIN RAILWAYS HANDLE MUCH WAR FREIGHT By Telegraph —Press Association—Copyright.) (Recd. 10.5 p.m ) London, April 4. Britain's third war-time Good Friday passed off quietly. Workers left their desks to participate in crowded church services, and even the aisles were thronged. Those not working mostly obeyed the official injunction to refrain from travelling. Instead of handling duplicated holiday trains, the railways worked at high pressure with freights of coal, minerals and war materials. Private cars were rare. Road traffic consisted largely of lorries and other vehicles engaged in war work. Factories throughout the country worked as usual.
