Food plea...burning ambition...poorly ponies 75 YEARS AGO

New Forest and Brockenhurst Conservative and Unionist As- sociation which he addressed since the general election at Brockenhurst. * * * * * * AT a meeting of the New Forest Association of Building Trades Employers, Lymington builders were congratulated on being the first in the South - ern Counties to have received authority from the Ministry of Health to commence perma- nent housing for a local on the basis of a negotiated price. That early start had been possible through the close co-operation between the Lymington Council and the local builders. Reports of pro- gress in other parts of the New Forest were not so favourable. 50 YEARS AGO AT a meeting of Lymington Council, Alderman Mrs I. L. Nedderman gave some practi- cal advice following the coun - cil’s recommendation to local residents that in view of the refuse workers’ strike, they should “in extenuating circum- stances” burn a considerable amount of their rubbish. She emphasised the fact that this method should only be resorted to in “extenuating circumstances” and that “they should take every advantage of the fact that they can take their rubbish to the tip in Pen - nington and dispose of it in this way, and so do away with this awful pollution of the atmos - phere we have to suffer”. She hoped that ultimately theymight be able to get a local bye-law so that bonfires were excluded apart from the hours of 6am to 6pm and requested residents in the borough to assist Conservation Year by considering the problem of air pollution which is worsened by the lighting of bonfires. * * * * * *

ing with his wife and two chil - dren at Mbanane, Swaziland. 25 YEARS AGO THE county council’s con- troversial proposal to restrict Lyndhurst High Street to sin - gle lane traffic under a £75,000 environmental improvement scheme – using plans drawn up by the district council – seems certain to fall by the wayside. Lyndhurst parish councillors learned at their meeting on Tuesday night that the county surveyor, John Ekins, is to ask the planning and transporta- tion committee to abandon the scheme when it meets at Win - chester next Monday – there - by bowing to the considerable local opposition which insist - ed the so-called relief scheme would worsen, rather than im - prove, the traffic flow in this notoriously congested street. * * * * * * AN “incredibly high” re- sponse rate to the public con- sultation over bringing the fa- cilities at Mudeford Sandbank up to date has confirmed that devotees want it to stay just as it is. Christchurch councillors ordered a survey of the users’ views after it was suggested that electricity and sewerage mains services be piped across The Run to the spit during this winter’s quay reconstruction project. The council wants to end the practice of tinkering away sewage from the public toilets, which is eroding the fragile foreshore, and said improve - ments such as modernising the public toilets could be partly funded by increasing the site and hut licence fees. This summer, hut owners and day visitors to the sand- bank were consulted, and they gave a very loud “No” to any idea of modernisation.

NEW FOREST Food Control Committee have instructed their food executive officer, Mr R. G. Whitfield, to write to the authorities at Reading asking for a more generous allocation of food to the area, having re - gard to the amount of food that seems to be available in the north of England. Mrs Connor, of Totton, raised the question on saying that she had just been up north and she was astonished at the things that could be had there. Mr Whitfield suggested that they were looking after the heavy industrial workers who usually concentrated in the north. Mrs Connor remarked that many people wanted some - thing to make up a lunch for their husbands, and it was more difficult in the Forest area as many of them had to go to Southampton to work, but there was nothing to be had in Totton — not even a sausage. Yet when she was up north she could get not only meat pies, but apples, apricots and peaches, and she went into a shop and bought oranges with - out any points. * * * * * * “BY all means let us have higher wages, but if you have them you cannot expect to keep the cost of goods down. That is what people forget. “This policy of ‘snatch’ and ignoring the constituted bod- ies of trades unions, by trying to cut down working hours and increasing wages and holidays, may be all very nice, but you must accept the result – prices soar, money becomes less val - uable and in the end far from being better off you are worse off.” The above remarks were made by Colonel O. E. Crosth- waite-Eyre, RM, MP, at the first meeting of the Council of the

An advert from 1945

A JOINT note on the condi - tion of the New Forest ponies, prepared by the New Forest Verderers and the veterinary surgeons’ committee, is being sent to all commoners who pas - ture animals on the Forest. It draws attention to the concern which has been expressed by members of the public about the bodily condition of some of the ponies on the Forest, and warns of careful supervision next spring, as well as period - ic inspections this autumn and winter. “During April, May and the early part of June this year,” says the report, “a large num - ber of ponies were turned on the Forest by commoners who had wintered themwholly, or in part, on their holdings or other grazings. A proportion of these

ponies were in poor bodily con - dition. Some have been very slow to show improvement. Some have since been removed at the request of the agisters or under order.” * * * * * * MR MICHAEL Nineham has just won his first international ‘cap’ at the age of 40!
