Easter Monday was a day of great tor on account of the increased cost of living variety in regard to weather , bursts of sun- and shine being divided by piercing winds and It takes almost an hour to take the spuds off both wheels . The following Monday we were given our first lesson in ploughing . The field was close to the town , near the Cemetery , with a right - of - way through it , so we had endless spectators , and only one man to instruct two of us , one on the engine and the other on the plough , and at the same time to set a new plough . Our first five times round were a failure , as we had no idea when to turn and take out the plough , or what depth to set the ploughs . Just as we had put this right we were told it was not well enough done , so we departed . Our next field was ten miles away . We were left to take the tractor along the road alone . A pulley wheel rolled off the trictor and was picked up in the field beside the road ; we found the pin which secured it had gone . so after a fruitless search we went on , having put the pulley wheel on the back of the trac- tor . We then tried to go up a hill too fast , choked the engine and we stopped . our efforts were the least use . She would not restart . After trying most things for hours , we telephoned for a man to come out . He tightened the tappet rods , and as it was then dark we put the tractor in a field for the night . None of two Continued our journey next day , and arrived at I in the afternoon . Began ploughing next day . The field was short and broad on the side of a hill , an old turf and heavy soil . Two ditches full of water , one at the bottom and the other along one side . storms of snow . EASTER SERVICES . There was a good attendance at the Church Hall on Good Friday evening when Mrs. Bullen conducted a sacred lantern service . Morning service was held at the Moravian Church on Good Friday , the preacher being the Rev. R. Klesel . In addition to the usual services on Easter Day there was an early service at 7 a.m. as had been done in the cases of other public officials used for pleasure ..

The Chairman in moving the adoption of the report said that although the Inspector received an increase of salary two years ago there had been a large increase in the cost f living since . Mr. Evans seconded and it was carried . In reply to Mr. Roberts , the Clerk stated . that no communication had been received in reference to a footpath at Pudleston . Mr. Roberts said he referred to the Church causeway . People who used it were grumbling that it was being used for vehicular traffic .

The following day we were left alone to work it ourselves , without any real instructions as to the right way to turn , or to take out the plough . The farmer was most helpful , and sat on the plough himself working the three levers , and setting the plough the right depth . And although he stammered very badly he made me understand the working of it . Owing to snow and the soddenness of the land we had to leave the field before quite finishing it . We were most lucky to meet a lady on the road who knew my mother , as we were on our way to the farm . She kindly put us up s there were six children staying at the farm . We were called at 5.45 , breakfast at 6.30 , and started off in the dark , as it was January , to walk nearly three miles across country . generally got the engines oiled and filled up We with paraffin and water , and started at 8.15 . three miles , to have tea and a hot bath , dinner We worked till dark at 5 o'clock , and so back and so to bed early . with them .

The song " Beggars Can't be Choosers " was sung effec- tively by El Chang , Aladdin and the Geni . The Jap Chorus then came on with a dainty song " Merry Little People , " after which Lilian Richardson entered as the Princess and rendered a song and a clever dance . Roars of laughter were created between the acts by a sketch by Edith Bassett , with Nancy Fletcher as the Emergency Butler . The second scene , " The Fairy Cave , " con- tained some pretty incidents .

The final scene was effectively carried out and the little actors received hearty applause . The pantomime concluded with the Belgian , French and English National Anthems , sung by the whole of the girls of the department . In conclusion it may be , said that the per- formance was nothing less than a triumph for the Headmistress of the Girls ' Depart- ment , Miss Smith , and her able assistants Mrs. Playford , Miss Bright and Miss Brice . The ability with which the children acted showed that no skill and labour had been spared to render their training as perfect as posisble . A word of praise should also be included with regard to the dresses . These had been artistically and effectively designed and were principally made by the teachers already mentioned and Miss Porter . Thanks are also due to the mothers of the children for their help in this respect , and also to Miss Moody , Mrs. Smith , Miss Watkins , and Mrs. Scudamore for the loan of dresses . We are asked to mention that thanks are due to many kind friends for invaluable help . at the performances . A tea was provided for the children , the arrangements being under- taken by the Misses Pugh , Mrs. Bright , Miss Wilkes and friend . Several ladies and gentlemen assisted in this matter by dona- tions . In connection with the seating ar- rangements , thanks are due to Mr. T. J. Enoch , Mr. E. W. Jones , Mr. J. W. Palmer and Mr. J. J. Baker . The Boy Scouts were very helpful behind the scenes and also as- sisted at various parts of the performance with bugle and drums . Mrs. Smith assisted in dressing the children , Mrs. Hoff kindly under- taking the make - up , and Mr. Elliott assisting with the scenery .

The frost held for over a month , and then again by snow and frost for six days . we only worked one week , and were stopped Now we have just done 33 acres and have come to do 20 acres , and this morning there is an inch of snow , but we mean to go out and try to work . Now , either of us can work the tractor and plough and can turn into and out of the fur- row without slowing up very much . Screws and bolts are always working loose and pliers and wire are often needed . It is very dirty work as the engine has to be filled twice a day , and paraffin lifted to the top of the tank We pull a 10 - gallon drum of The final bit is paraffin up in slow stages . done by one being on top and lifting while the other pushes with her head ! The mixture of oil , paraffin and soil is very adhesive , and our drill overalls must be a sore trial to washerwomen . I was chauffeur and odd man in a V.A.D. hospital with 120 beds in Gloucestershire , and often did a week in the laundry if the car was not running , and once did second cook and chauffeur for a fortnight .

The service was conducted by the Vicar ( the Rev. W. J. Nelson ) , the lessons being read by Mr. E. W. Jones and Mr. Percy . Williams . Preaching an appropriate sermon from 1st Corinthians , 15 , 14 : " And if Christ be not risen , then is our preaching vain , and your faith is also vain , " he said that in that chap- ter the Apostle dealt with a phase of unbelief There were hose who denied the fact that Jesus Christ rose from the dead , and to meet those objections he said that the denial of the resurrection meant that they were either de- ceived or deceivers . In the Christian Church there might be legitimate differences of opinion on non essential points . After illus- trating his point by touching upon the differ- ent forms of religion suited to the Italian , the Russian , the French and the British peoples , he said they must now pass from non - essential to essential things . There were points on which there could be no compromise , no reasonable difference among Christian men . They could not imagine a professing Christian who denied the existence of God , his incarna- tion , and who belittled the atonement , and it was impossible to think of a Christian who de- nied the great fact of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead . In speaking of the glorious Easter lessons they were speaking not of sentiment or fancy , but of fact . The very life of the Christ depended upon the fact o the Resurrection . Any message that denied or ignored the Resurrection could not be the message of the living Christ . The preacher went on to show how vital was the Resurrec- tion to the sacraments and the Christian faith as a whole . Turning to the present day he said hey thought of those they had known in terms of intimate affection ; the flower of man- Alderman Woodhouse seconding , said that the business had been conducted very well . Mr. Ridgley supported and the resolution was carried by acclamation . Mr. Edwards in reply said he did not think . the shortness of the meetings was due to any- thing on his part , but rather because there had not been quite so much to do , and also it was due to the way that the Council and the offi- the Vice - Chairman be thanked for the way he cials had supported him .
