Mr. F. H. Russell , who sold so suc- cessfully on the last occasion , has again very kindly offered his services . The sale will com- mence at 12 o'clock and we trust there will be a large attendance to help to send from Weobley bumper contribution to the Here- fordshire Branch of the British Red Cross Society . a Major M. C. Parry , R.F.A. , son of Mr. J. M. Parry , of Birley Court , has been mentioned in despatches by Sir Douglas Haig . His many friends in the district will congratulate him on the distinction . I am also to call your especial attention to the extremely common practice of children who are nearing the leaving age remaining away from school for several weeks , in some cases several months , before they are free to leave , or only attending very occasionally . Often little notcie is taken of such cases on the ground that before the law can be put in motion the children will be legally exempt from further attendance , but the Chairman hopes that in the interests of the children themselves and of the ratepayers of the county all such cases may be brought before the Magistrates.maybe The Local Education Authority feel assured that having pointed ou , these defects the local Committees will do all they can to remedy them .

At Hereford City Police Court on Thursday , Private Thomas Breen , Royal Defence Corps , was charged with wilfully murdering Ethel Freda Wilson at the Welcome Cafe , St. Owen Street , Hereford , on January 29th . " Mr. J. Moore , who appeared for the public prosecutor , said the victim was a single woman , aged 25 , a native of Cornwall . She went to Hereford in November last and opened the Welcome Cafe , where her father , two brothers , and two sisters also lived . The father was a sergeant - major in the Royal Defence Corps , and prisoner had been billetted at the cafe . The Master called attention to the fact that the weekly allowance of bread and meat to the inmates was excessive and that much of it was not needed and was wasted . It was resolved that the Master use his discretion in bringing the allowance of bread within Lord Devonport's scheme so far as he can do without detriment to the inmates .
