A.R.P.

[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR] have seen it frequently stated, and again in a letter from Mr. Rupert Lee in your issue of July 14th, that it is not possible for an ordinary middle-class householder to buy an Anderson shelter.

I bought one, through my builder, in April of this year. He dug out the ground for me, inserted a drain, erected the shelter and cemented the floor. My sons filled and placed in position over three hundred sandbags and the shelter has been ready for use since the middle of May.—Yours faith-
