national standard of five grade Cs or above. Mr Skirton said 36 students obtained 12, 13 or 14 A-star to C grades. Seventy-one per cent of the grades achieved by girls were A-star to C, as against the boys’ 60%, giving an overall school average of 65% of all results being in the top grades. The head stated that on average each Arnewood student achieved 6.4 grades A-star to C. * * * * * * WITH the health authority’s recent green light for a new £15m hospital at Lymington, the Hospital’s League of Friends has been negotiating to buy part of the old 39-acre Wellworthy site at Ampress, on the northern entrance to the town. At their annual meeting, chairman Walter Symons revealed the League has funds of £2m, and this week came the revelation of a further £500,000 for this purpose under the will of Mrs Margaret Smallwood. Mr Symons stated he had reached an option agreement with the agents of T&N, owners of the Ampress site, involving just over half the League’s £2.5m coffers to purchase up to eight acres, but claims T&N then withdrew interest – though their agent says he’s optimistic a deal can still be completed. When the A&T inquired of a possible alternative site at Efford, council planners said the new District Plan does not propose any other hospital site than Ampress.

Mrs P. J. Branfoot (presiding) said the magistrates wished to emphasise very strongly that young people under the age of 18 were breaking the law if they went into a pub and drank only shandy. “The Bench feels the local pubs around here must pay more attention to the age of their customers,” said Mrs Branfoot. “I think it is very difficult for them to assess your age – I must admit you look at least 18 – but I am sure in many cases they know perfectly well the age of people they are serving and we take a very serious view of it. “You must tell your friends whatever you drink if it is alcoholic, you are committing an offence.” 25 YEARS AGO SIR PATRICK McNair- Wilson has announced his intention to retire at the next general election after almost 30 years in Parliament – the past 27 for the New Forest. Following the Boundary Commission review, there will be two New Forest MPs, for the East and West. “I will still live here in retirement, but obviously I will not interfere with the activities of my successors, or become involved in their selection,” Sir Patrick told the A&T. * * * * * * GIRLS at Arnewood School, New Milton, are brighter than the boys, head teacher Gordon Skirton told parents at last week’s annual presentation evening when he reported an exceptional year in which the school maintained its national rating with 62% of the year group gaining at least the

encountered with the RNLI over the boat they want is only part of the trouble. Another sore point is that the RNLI have asked the Venturers to restrict their services in the Solent in the future to the area immediately around Lepe, because the number of rescues by the Venturers (80 this summer, with five lives saved) was causing problems with other life-boat crews. They may be losing morale due to the speed of the Venturers’ service, who consistently beat them to the rescues. The Venturers are also “unfair” inasmuch as they run a high-speed patrol, which gives them a tremendous time advantage. * * * * * * WITH an impact which could be heard throughout the village of Sway, a diesel engine fast train hit two 2 ½ cwts handcars on the up-line at Sway station late on Tuesday night, scattering debris for 300 yards. Some bits were found over two miles away at Lymington Junction. Investigations are being carried out by the police to try and find out how the handcarts came to be on the line. The wood and iron- framed trucks are normally kept on the up platform and were clearly pushed from there on to the track. * * * * * * A WELL-BUILT youth who gave his age as 16-and-a-half years admitted at Lymington Juvenile Court on Friday in last week that he was found drunk in Lymington High Street, and he was fined £5.

at Barton-on-Sea, and two at Thorn’s Beach, east of the Lymington River. Fortunately, only one exploded — unfortunately for those at Highcliffe — and happily, there were no personal injuries or loss of life. Few people saw anything of the mine which exploded at Highcliffe but there were few who did not hear it, and residents report scores of houses having been shaken by the explosion, which occurred about 5.25am on Tuesday morning. Mr Grant, a New Milton postman, who was just getting on his bicycle, heard it and saw the sky lit up with the great flash. This mine is thought to have hit the sea “trellis” defences, pieces of the tubular steel of which they are made being hurled into Highcliffe gardens and houses. 50 YEARS AGO THE League of Venturers, the enterprising local group of young people who have, during the last summer and the previous ones, carried out a remarkable number of sea- rescue services from their base at Lepe, are hoping to get a new boat for their fleet, but have encountered difficulties from an unexpected quarter – the Royal National Lifeboat Institute! The Venturers have been operating under the direction of the shore boats of the RNLI, but are now considering whether they will leave this and work solely with the Coastguard, with whom they have always had excellent relations.

TWO Italian prisoners-of- war, members of an Italian working party which recently arrived at Pylewell Park, the mansion on the other side of Lymington River, were found dead in bed from gas poisoning in the room in which they had been sleeping. The men were Cpl-Major Felice Locatelli, aged 32, from Casino, and Pte. Bruno Vale, aged 36, fromMilan. They were discovered dead in their beds in a room over the stables near the mansion when a fellow prisoner went to rouse them. In an adjoining room two more Italians were found suffering from gas poisoning, and were taken to Lymington Hospital. They are recovering. * * * * * * THE fact that bricklayers and carpenters won’t return to their trades in order to build houses, because they earn more money in factories was stated at a Labour meeting at Hordle on Monday. It was mentioned first by Mr Bob Howe, Labour candidate for Hordle ward in the municipal election. “I know bricklayers at Wellorthys who prefer to turn a handle of a machine rather than lay bricks because they can earn £8 and £7 a week with bonus as against only 2/1 an hour from bricklaying,” he said. * * * * * * A GALE with the wind estimated at 75 to 90 miles an hour resulted in several British mines being washed ashore along the south coast, including the following locally: at least three at Bournemouth, one at Highcliffe-on-Sea, three
