Aircraft factory blow...Forest’s future...tractor ban 75 YEARS AGO

roads during the rush hour, be- cause they cause driver frustra- tion and accidents, got short shrift at New Forest environ- mental services committee. The idea came from Milford councillor Maj. Chris Beeton during a discussion on bids to the county for financing traf - fic-calming schemes. He said farm traffic and horse riders on rural roads like Everton Road caused driver frustration and could lead to accidents. Other European countries banned tractors and horses during the rush hour and he wondered whether the UK should follow their exam- ple. His committee colleagues did not agree. “Horses were here long before humans – and you can’t ban them,” declared Cllr John Hutchins. And the chairman, Cllr Mrs Brenda Smith, observed that if driv- ers could not handle being frustrated by tractors or hors- es they should not get behind the steering wheel in the first place. * * * * * * WHILE torrential rain caused flooding throughout the area over the weekend, resulting in the closure of the A326 at Hythe with further traffic problems in Brocken - hurst and Pennington, for one Highcliffe resident the light- ning storm on Monday proved to be a hair-raising experience. Ian Mansfield was looking out of his window at the cars leaving tracks in the gathering sleet on Chewton Hill when a bolt of lightning struck a tel- egraph pole just outside his home. “It was just like watching a firework display,” he told the A&T. “There were sparks shower- ing down everywhere.”

British Legion have sponsored the appeal to save the Public Hall, it was not representative of NewMilton and that the pro- posal would benefit only a sec - tion of the inhabitants, namely, members of the Legion. Several people have been holding back donations also, because it was not known whether any other form of war memorial would be put for- ward. It can be stated however, that the acquisition and the preservation of the Public Hall for the use of the public is the only war memorial scheme that has been advanced in New Milton, or indeed, in any other part of the Borough, save the proposal for a Village Hall at Bashley. * * * * * * SHORTLY after George Ar- thur Rickman, North Street, Pennington, had been taken into Lymington Hospital on Friday night to be treated for injuries he suffered through falling from his motorcycle in Southampton Road, a grey- hound, with which the machine had come into contact, limped into the annexe. It too had cuts about the legs and back attended to by Mrs Hook of the Canine Welfare, but its condition was such that it was decided later that the animal should be destroyed by Inspector F. Tull, RSPCA. At the time of the accident the dog was straying, and the own- er was not known. 50 YEARS AGO THE Government’s decision not to put up £144m for the BAC 3-11 airbus has come as a blow to workers at the British Aircraft Corporation’s factory at Hurn, where the final assem - bly and test flying on the air -

visitors to the area could cause the ultimate destruction of the Forest. And the blame for the al- leged devastation is placed not on the authorities but the pub- lic themselves. The millions of people swarming into the For- est annually, says the survey, enjoy the amenities provided but threaten to turn the area into a sombre reminder of man’s capacity to destroy. * * * * * * APPLICATION for exten- sions of the licensing hours over the Christmas and New Year period in the 37 public houses of the Christchurch Li- censed Victuallers’ Association was granted at Christchurch Magistrates’ Court on Monday. The extended hours are: Christmas Eve (Thursday December 24th) 10.30pm to 11.30pm; Christmas Day 11.30am to 12noon (that is, earlier opening); Boxing Day 11pm to 11.30pm; and New Year’s Eve (Thursday Decem- ber 31st) 10.30pm to 12.30am. 25 YEARS AGO ON the very day that Chan- cellor Ken Clarke announced a £2.3bn boost to the National Health Service, so an outline planning application was en- tered at the New Forest Dis- trict Council’s Lyndhurst offic - es for a New Forest community hospital on the redundant Am- press site at Lymington, and at the same time the NHS exec- utive – the administrative arm of the Department of Health – gave its final approval to plans for this hospital, following a submission by the Southamp- ton Community Health Servic- es Trust. * * * * * * A SUGGESTION that hors- es and tractors be banned from

THEsituationwithwhich the world is faced, arising from the beginning of the age for the use of atomic energy, was the sub- ject of a striking address that Col. O. E. Crosthwaite-Eyre MP gave to Lymington Men’s Conservative Club members at their annual meeting. He thought that for all of us when we knew the Japanese had surrendered in August, a great deal of relief was spoilt by the knowledge that the in- troduction of the atomic bomb had brought something so shattering and devastating in its effect as to alter the whole conduct of world politics. Less than 30 years ago we thought the end of the world was coming because a few Zep- pelins came over London and dropped 40 tons of bombs! “It means you have a source of destruction that is limit- less. I think you will agree it comes down to the fact that this introduction of atomic en- ergy has completely changed any measures of defence, any measures of security, we may have considered in the past,” the MP said. * * * * * * WITH only a month left in which to raise the balance of £2,000 still required for the purchase and improvement of New Milton Public Hall, as a war memorial and community centre, it is appropriate to put the matter in a straightforward manner before the public and to clear the air of certain mis- understandings which, it is stated, have led several people to defer making such a Thank Offering for the restoration of Peace. A small, but important sec- tion of the public have un- doubtedly felt that because the

craft was to be carried out. Following Wednesday’s de- cision against the BAC 3-11, a forecast of 300 redundancies in BAC was made by Mr Corfield, Minister of Aviation Supply, but The Times said, in an arti- cle on how the loss of the pro- ject will hit BAC, that the cor- poration’s “current work force totals over 36,000, and as a re- sult of the loss of the 3-11 pro- ject this will be slimmed down gradually”. * * * * * * SUGGESTIONS for the fu- ture conservation of the New Forest, following the exhaus- tive survey, Conservation of the New Forest, were released last week. For the findings of the report, the result of three years’ work by officers drawn from the For - estry Commission, Hampshire County Council, the Nature Conservancy, New Forest and Ringwood and Fordingbridge Rural District Councils, and the Forest verderers, sees that the ever increasing number of 50 YEARS AGO: Lieutenant Tim Gedge (27), of Lymington, flying the Navy’s latest Phantom jet
