to right by founding the Italy Star Association, now 1,600 strong – and his deed was rec- ognised by Princess Diana at an awards ceremony in Lon- don’s Hilton hotel on Monday. Now 78 years of age, Maurice served with the 93rd Anti-Tank Regiment, 6th Bn. Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders before returning to civilian life as a manufacturer’s agent in wool- lens and knitwear at Bradford and Nottinghamshire. He re- tired to Fairfield Road, Barton, in 1983. * * * * * * A BRICK pillar prevented what could have been a ma- jor catastrophe at a busy su- permarket in Lymington last week. It stopped an out of control automatic car, with an 81-year- old at the wheel, from smash- ing its way into the crowded store. “It could have gone through one window and out the other,” said one horrified eyewitness. The Rover struck four parked vehicles in the car park at the back of Waitrose in St Thomas’s Street, on Thurs- day in last week, before hitting the pillar, which stopped the car from smashing through a plate glass window. A bicycle resting against the pillar was crushed. The police said only minor damage was caused to the parked vehicles, but the Rover, which was taken away for ex- amination, sustained extensive front-end damage. The driver said she did not know what happened, vowing never to have another auto- matic. “I couldn’t stop it,” she said. In a similar accident in Sta- tion Road, New Milton, in April 1990, also involving an auto- matic Rover car, three people died and 10 others were injured.

Avenue, Pennington, after driftwood picked up from the beaches had been placed on the fire. Following the explosion, which happened shortly after the fire had been lit, fragments of a white metal container, which had been tubular, about two inches long and quarter- of-an-inch in diameter, with an “S” marked on the ends, were found among the debris scat- tered in the room. What remained of the con- tents of the tube was yellow. The container must have been concealed among driftwood which was used for lighting the fire. Something penetrat - ed the ceiling of the dining room, and a splintered piece of wood was blown on to the wireless set on the side of the room opposite to the fireplace. Amazingly, a 12-month-old child, who was seated in a highchair in front of the fire, and her foster mother, stand- ing close by, were unharmed when the explosion occurred, filling the r oom with smoke and fumes. 50 YEARS AGO A CLAIM by a ratepayer for expenses arising out of his dog being allegedly kicked by a re- fuse collector is to be contest- ed by Lymington Council. The ratepayer, a resident of Kennard Road, New Milton, submitted the claim in respect of veterinary surgeon’s fees in- curred by him for treatment to his dog which, he said, had been kicked by the refuse col- lector. But the council’s general purposes committee “having considered the reports of the officers concerne d” resolved to resist the claim. * * * * * *

whether or not an animal, de- spite its breeding, was a re- actor the turberclin test, the ministry should pay full com- pensation for all animals they wished to slaughter. Second, on the wider issue of tuberculosis, brucellosis and other diseases subject to com- pulsory slaughter, NFU head- quarters should insist that farmers be fully compensated by the government. This reso- lution was put forward by the Romsey branch in the light of the government’s hints at get- ting rid of compensation pay- ments. 25 YEARS AGO A NEW Milton hotel is set to be turned into a local centre for mental health services includ- ing a day clinic and staff base. The £300,000 project to con- vert Waterford House on the corner of Station Road and Barton Court Road, is being put forward by the Salisbury Health Care NHS Trust, which is contracted to provide men- tal health services in the area. Around 17 psychiatrists, nurses, therapists and social workers will be based at the new centre instead of the exist- ing facilities in Lymington and Ringwood. * * * * * * MAURICE Cheadle never forgot his comrades who died alongside him in the advance through Italy during the war, such as the 3,000 killed in three weeks at the battle of River Sangro – but felt bitter that this theatre of war was never fully recognised by the author- ities. He said: “We were the for- gotten army, as evidenced in the VE Day celebrations, yet we had been fighting in Italy for 11 months before they crossed the Channel on D-Day.” On retiring to Barton, Mau- rice determined to put matters

LYMINGTON Branch of the Women’s Section, British Legion, was criticised by Ald. A. F. Dinham, chairman of the men’s branch, at the latter’s annual meeting last week. “I am sorry we have not been able to get the full co-opera- tion we should get from the Women’s Section,” he said. “They seem to have a little way of getting into a huddle and not to co-operate with the men. They seem to do everything for everyone else except the Legion. They must not forget they are a section of the branch. We not only de- serve their full co-operation, but are entitled to it.” The men’s branch now has 463 members of which 61 are honorary, and Ald. Dinham said he hoped members would do all they could to enrol men from the war that had just ended, as it was with them that the Legion must now be built up. * * * * * * IT IS now known that Dr Valentine Alexander Stookes, who introduced the first civ - il airplane into British North Borneo died at the hands of the Japanese in Borneo in July of this year. He was 51. In 1936 Dr Stookes bought an Aeronca C3 seaplane to vis- it patients in outlying districts from his surgery at Sandakan. In the First World War he gave up medical studies for a commission in the Scots Greys, attached to the Royal Flying Corps, and won the Mil- itary Cross. His widow and two children live at Cliff Crescent, Barton-on-Sea. * * * * * * AN explosion occurred in the grate at Dunromin’, Elm

James Leonard receives his award

ON Monday evening Mr James William George Leon- ard, of Queen Elizabeth Ave- nue, Lymington, became only the second Lymington fireman to receive the Queen’s Award Long Service and Good Con- duct Medal. The medal has been in existence for 20 years and Mr Leonard, at the age of 40, has just completed his 20 years’ firefighting service which entitles him to the award. Mr Leonard began his fire - man’s service in 1948, but a two-year break for National Service meant that his unin- terrupted period of service dates from 1950. Sub-Officer Leonard, who is manager of Orchards Radio, Electrical and TV, Brockenhurst, was present- ed with the medal by Mr A. A. Winning, the Chief Fire Officer. * * * * * * HAMPSHIRE farmers want the government to pay full compensation to farmers in cases where their animals have been compulsorily slaughtered. A resolution urging NFU head- quarters to take action on this was passed at a recent county executive committee meeting in Winchester. The recommendations were that since the ministry reserved the right to decide
