Naylor observed him through- out the afternoon from Tan- ner’s Lane and from the Lym- ington Yacht Haven. After the oysters had been seized about 10 were sent to Southampton to be tested. Besides the one with salmo- nella the other oysters would have needed at least two months’ purification treatment to make them fit for consump - tion, Mr Harmer told the bench. * * * * * * NEW Milton inventor the Rev. Jonathan Copus has been inundated with inquiries after his revolutionary dental treat- ment was featured on BBC1’s Tomorrow’s World. The Iongun, which kills 99.8% of bacteria in decayed teeth with a concentrated stream of negatively charged air particles, could mean far less drilling and filling. If trials prove successful, dentists will be able to “zap” an infected tooth for about four minutes, seal the surface and then allow it to recover natural- ly through remineralisation. The potential of the Iongun has already been recognised by the DTI with a prestigious SMART 1 award and a grant to develop the concept. Now Mr Copus has been given a SMART 11 and up to £60,000 – which he has to match with a similar amount – to pay for trials at the London Hospital Medical College and King’s College, London, to assess its long term effectiveness. “It has got to be good news for children, cowards and lots of other people because it is completely painless,” Mr Copus told the A&T. “It will be particularly bene- ficial to older people who suffer from receding gums and decay on the gum line because if you can zap the bugs and allow natural recovery they will keep more of their own teeth later into life.”

1,100 Jap soldiers who were re- turning home. “Our men were battened down in the holds for the great- er part of the five days journey, each man having sleeping place some 18in wide by 6ft long, but were allowed on deck for air and exercise during part of the day.” Sixty-seven men died on that five days voyage and an - other 249 within three weeks of landing in Japan — a total of 316 out of 1,000, from dysentery and other ill effects of their con- ditions. Lieut. Stubbs was a prisoner in Japan from November 1942 until September 1945. * * * * * * THE price of £3,800 was ob- tained for the bungalow res- idence Cornerways, Ashley Road, New Milton, at the auc- tion sale conducted by Messrs Hewitt & Co. on Wednesday, before a very large attendance. 50 YEARS AGO A MAJOR operation on a 70-year-old woman was carried out at Christchurch Hospi- tal on Wednesday morning in torchlight and emergency light- ing when a power cut occurred halfway through the one and a half hour session. Operating for three quarters of an hour with a nurse holding a torch made the task of the surgeon much more difficult, hospital secretary Mr Geoffrey Guy told the A&T. * * * * * * THE spectacular fire at the Balmer Lawn Hotel, Brock- enhurst, which drew scores of sightseers from miles around and which, at the time, seven weeks ago, was estimated at causing £50,000 of damage, is to cost the insurance companies almost double that amount. At a press conference at the 19th century hotel on Thursday, Mr R. J. Beattie, joint managing di- rector of Myddleton Hotels and

LORD Rowallan, as the chief Scout, has awarded the Scout’s Silver Medal to Brian Kingston for rescuing Janet Everett from the river when their boat cap- sized at Keyhaven last summer. Brian, who is 13, went for a sail in Capt. D. H. Everett’s boat with Michael and Janet Ever- ett, when the boat overturned in a squall. All three were hand- icapped by being fully dressed with mackintoshes, as it was a cold and boisterous day. Brian assisted Janet ashore while Michael remained on the upturned boat until rescued by Capt. N. H. Girdlestone, who towed the boat back to Key- haven. * * * * * * LIEUTENANT James Stubbs, R.A., youngest of the four service sons of Mr P. S. F. Stubbs, of Barton-on-Sea, who arrived home in the Queen Eliz- abeth last week, is believed to have been the tallest prison- er-of-war in Japan. He stands 6ft 5ins in his socks. Lieut. James Stubbs joined the 48th L.A.A. in September 1939, from Oxford University and after 18 months service on the East Coast, principally in Suffolk and Essex, he was drafted to Singapore, but in- stead of proceeding there his Regiment went to Java. “We were there for only six months, when the Dutch sur- rendered,” he told the Adver- tiser & Times, “and we were imprisoned for six months at Tandjong Briok, the port of Batavia. “Some years before the war, the Japanese had bought from us an old steel freighter of 5,000 tons, but although the old ship was sold as scrap the Japs ap- parently had other purposes in view for her. About 1,000 of our men were packed into this freighter, for the journey from Java to Japan, together with

Estates Ltd, owners of Balmer Lawn Hotel and six others, said the damage would cost more in the region of £90,000. * * * * * * ON her way to post a letter, Mrs Gwendoline Neman was only a few yards from the post box in Mount Avenue, New Milton, when she heard two ex- plosions from it. A little earlier she had seen two girls running away, giggling, and at the time of the explosions there was a youth standing beside the box. As a result, the youth ap- peared before Lymington Ju- venile Court on Friday in last week – the day after his 15th birthday – when he admitted placing a firework in the letter box which was “likely to injure the box of contents”. He was given a conditional discharge for one year. 25 YEARS AGO A NEAR 16% increase in New Forest District Council’s local tax will have to be im- posed next year to maintain its current level of services, as the result of the government’s

standard spending assessment for the authority. That would mean a £20 increase on the cur- rent £70 for the average Band D home, without taking into ac- count county or parish council increases. Without an increase, services would have to be dras- tically cut. * * * * * * A DAY’S catch of oysters dredged by a Lymington fish - erman near the Pennington sewage outlet has had to be destroyed following a directive from New Forest magistrates. Thirteen-thousand cubic metres of screened sewage is pumped into the Solent at Pennington each day, and one of the oysters in the batch con- tained salmonella, magistrates sitting at Lyndhurst heard from the New Forest District Council’s senior environmental officer, Alec Harmer. The fisherman had been spotted scooping up oysters in his boat from a prohibited area on the Lymington and Pennington Banks by Southern Sea Fisheries patrolman, Roger Naylor, on 8th November. Mr
