Englishman Writes
That "Fat Dames"
Fill Raid Shelter
SALKM HEIGHTS James
RradstTaw, student in the eighth
grade of the local school, recently
read a letter from his grandfather
iu Birmingham. England, to his
fellow classmates.

ing of the air raid sirens and .the

cover. When the alarm was sound
ed, lie and his family would run
for the shelter of a tank In the
park that was left from the last
war. The letter went on to say
that there were so many "fat
dames" in the tauk that he was
crowded out. In looking for a new
t-helter, he hit upon the idea of
c-rawlinK into the muzzle of a huge
cannon in the park. His grandfa
ther addea that he liked It better
because he emild see,ont and act
as a "spotter."
So far, he wrote, he had not re
ceived a scratch "except from,
some ladywood fleas which had
found shelter In the big gun."
He said that It was hard to tell
the women from the men as they
all dressed so much alike. He con
cluded with. "Here they are again.
I can hear the whistles and I am
off for the big gun."
