BADSEY - CHILDREN’S CONCERT
The organisers of the children’s concert held there in February recently had the children photographed. Over twenty dozen postcards were sold at cost price (3d each) by Dorothy Brewer, Barbara Dore, Irene and Trixie Sears. Owing to the large number sold, Mr F Gegg very kindly gave a donation of 3s towards the funds, for which the concert was organised, which now brings the net profit to £9 12s. 6d.

LITTLE GIRL’S ACCIDENT
A little girl named Gladys Turner, aged four years, of Wickhamford, was admitted to the Cottage Hospital on Monday suffering from a broken thigh. A party was motoring through Wickhamford when the little girl ran across the road into the car, which knocked her down. The driver had no chance of avoiding the accident. The little sufferer was brought in the car to the Cottage Hospital, and we are glad to learn that she is progressing quite satisfactorily.
