BADSEY CHANGE RINGING
A FALSE ALARM
One night this week some people thought the Zepps actually had come to Evesham. On Sunday night, when the atmosphere was very still, a humming noise was audible in various parts of the town; it was in the neighbourhood of 11 o’clock, and it lasted for a quarter of an hour. The writer of this note thought it was a two-stroke motor cycle engine. Apparently the same noise was heard at about the same hour on Monday night, and some misguided people jumped to the conclusion.
DOGS AT LARGE
We are asked to draw the attention of those concerned to the nuisance caused by dogs being at large at night. Now that the streets are quite unlit, it is impossible to see dogs that are at all dark in colour, and some accidents have been caused by cyclists and others running over them. It has for a long time been an offence for dogs to be out after lighting up time unless they are under control. If the police initiated a few prosecutions no doubt the owners no doubt the owners would look after them more carefully.
