The first evacuees to arrive were a London mother and her small child, Mrs, Rogers was given US. $1.70 a week for each evacuee. That's the oficial? billeting allowance paid by the Government.
The London mother was bored with life in the little village. After a few weeks her sister evacuated to the same town and she found a small cottage which they could rent cheaply, so they moved out, Mrs, Rogers then took the initiative, She located the wife of a Lon. don workman with 6-year-old child who wanted to get into a "safe" area. They moved down, the woman going to work for Mrs. Rogers as a cook. This worked well until the woman got tired of being away from her husband. Just before Christmas she went back to London.
That means there will be two new evacuees at the Rogers house soon. Maybe the evacuees YW like it and maybe they won't. The same goes for Mrs, Rogers. I's a gamble on both sides, To Be Jettisoned?
