riA LARGE consignment of hutting left Tilbury last week on board the Transport Ferry Service's m.v. "Cedric Ferry" to drive the 1,500 miles from Rotterdam to the earthquake city of Skopje.
Twenty-four large wooden huts, including full heating apparatus for the coming winter, were packed into 12 trailers from the Royal Engineers, who were sending the huts as a gift from the Government.
In addition, three trailer loads of " Meccano" type housing were sent by Dexion Ltd. on behalf of the "War on Want Campaign ". Transport of these loads, which included more than 50,000 nuts and 50,000 bolts, was arranged by Continental Ferry Trailers.
