Mrs Hoyles said later : I went next door and shouted , but I got no reply and thought that perhaps I was hearing things . I listened again , and it was someone screaming for help &amp;hellip; . the cries seemed to come from the attic windows . I could see these windows were barricaded with boards , which seemed to be nailed across . I rushed downstairs &amp;hellip; telling Julie we were just playing a game , so that she would not get upset . ladder . I went down into the street and stopped two men . they began to get a ladder to put up to the attic window , and I went to call for the police . the police and the fire brigade arrived and they broke a window and got into the house .

I &apos;ve been screaming all the time , and I &apos;ve been eating out of tins . police thought last night that Nancy &apos;s screams had not been heard because of thick red-and-white-striped wallpaper which was plastered over the boards nailed against the attic windows . as far as Nancy was concerned , there might have been no window at all in the room . the only light was from an electric bulb . so , for four days , she did not know the difference between night and day . 12 minutes of the Duke on TV . the Duke of Edinburgh made a twelve-minute appearance on BBC television last night - and looked more relaxed than his interviewer , Richard Dimbleby . it was the Duke &apos;s first interview on British TV and he came across like an unflurried man having a cosy fireside chat . this pre-recorded interview was for the weekly programme panorama . it was concerned with the commonwealth technical training week which opened yesterday . the aim of the week &apos;s campaign is to draw attention to the need for technical training . twenty-eight commonwealth countries are taking part and in this country 188 local councils have helped to arrange special events to boost the campaign . in his TV interview the Duke was obviously enthusiastic about the whole project . difficult . and he had a lot to say about Britain &apos;s unskilled workers . there were not enough people in industry , he said , who were technically trained . he added : by far the most difficult problem is this tremendous attraction of relatively highly paid jobs for unskilled people . anyone who went into unskilled work , he said , went in at the rate for the job , regardless of age . what many parents did not seem to realise was that a relatively high wage now might be a rather poor one in after years . Britain , said the Duke , could not hope to compete in foreign markets if industry went on using unskilled labour . the Duke pointed out that of 550,000 school leavers aged from fifteen to seventeen , who started work last year , only 130,000 took skilled jobs . snapped up . there are all too many people who say : well , we &apos;re not going to bother to train anybody in our industry because they &apos;ll promptly get snapped up by another industry , the Duke added . during the training week , factories all over the country will be holding open days to show their apprenticeship schemes to school leavers and their parents . a man who does four jobs . a barrister told a court yesterday about the man with four jobs . this , Mr Anthony McCowan told magistrates at Steyning , Sussex , is the working life of fifty-six-year-old Richard Gilroy : as a poultry farmer he works till late afternoon . then he turns to his problems as boss of a window-cleaning business . factory . five nights a week he works as a lathe operator at a factory . in his spare time he becomes a home-help because his wife is paralysed . his total income : &amp;pound;22 a week .
