ALL COMMUNICATIONS FOR PUBLICATION MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF THE SENDER , NOT NECESSARILY FOR PUBLICATION . BUT AS A GUAR- ANTEE OF GOOD FAITH . SPECIAL LOCAL APPEAL BY SIR A. K. YAPP . To the Editor of The Kington Times . Sir , -In every agricultural district where crops are raised and food is produced and seen passing abundantly from the farm to the distributor , there is a very natural tendency to imagine that there is an abundant public supply . Therefore , while thanking , you for the publicity which you have so generously accorded the Food Economy Campaign hither- to , I wish to make a special appeal to your readers to remember that it is of the utmost importance that all classes should unite in an urgent and drastic effort to save the coun- try's food . The urgency is brought about not only by the world shortage and the depredations of the U boats , but by the general lack of ton- nage , necessitated by the employment of co many ships to guard our coasts and to supply our armies in the field . To us , shortage of ships means shortage of food . With the case thus plainly stated , I make no apology for forcing on the attention of all your readers the absolute necessity for each one faithfully to watch the and flour bin , the garden plot , the cupboard the kitchen pantry , and the table , in order that he or she may discover where the particular saving of each may be best effected . One person may be able to economise in milk , butter , tea ; another in meat , bacon , cheese , jam , eggs ; a third in dried fruits , tinned goods , lard , etc .; and all alike by saving to their utmost individual capacity on bread and by substituting wherever pos- sible garden produce for such foods as are- urgently required by people in the manufac turing towns and by our soldiers in the field . Use with economy those foods with which you are blessed as producers , 80 that munition makers and manufacturing districts gener- ally may receive , together with our troops , the full benefit of all our imports and home products . It is only by these little individual sacri- fices that we can hope to overcome the gen- eral deficiency and in doing so we can always feel that we are taking our share of the hard- ships endured by our heroic kinsfolk who are sacrificing their all .

Mr. Tyrrell on behalf of the solicitors offered congratulations to the Mayor ( Alder- man Sheldon ) on his again taking up the posi- tion of Chief Magistrate and the Mayor re- turned thanks . John Reynolds , motor - car driver , of the Angel Hotel , was charged with driving a car without proper lights on the 4th of Novem- ber . Defendant pleaded guilty .

Thomas Carpenter , antique dealer , Bull Ring , was charged with not having the lights of his shop shaded on the 3rd of November . P.S. Teece proved the case . The Mayor said it was most important that the lights should be shaded during the win- ter . He had consulted his colleagues and he should use his prerogative and all the four cases would be dismissed . THEATRICAL LICENSE . Mr. Tyrrell , Town Clerk , applied on behalf of the Mayor for the renewal of the theatri- cal license for the Town Hall . Granted . SALE OF BUTTER . Leonard Watts , a poultry and butter dealer , of 96 , Elum Rock Road , Saltley , Bir- mingham , was charged under the Butter Prices Order with purchasing from Alice Scandrett two pounds of butter above 247 shillings per cwt . , on the 13th of October . Mr. Tyrrell defended . Superintendent Perry stated that the de- fendant paid 2s . 3d . per lb. and when spoken to by P.S. Teece he produced a slip of paper to show he was only allowed to give 2s . 1d . per lb. The lady asked him 2s . 4d . and he gave 2s . 3d . Alice Scandrett stated that she lived at Holly Bush , Clee Downton , and corroborated . Cross - examined : She sold it at 2s . 3d . and had not been summoned . She sometimes made it in half pounds and some in pounds . P.S. Teece stated that on October 13th , at about a quarter to 11 in the morning he and P.S. Williams were in the market and saw defendant buy 2 lbs . of butter off the last witness . He asked what price he had given and she said 29. 3d . She went to Watts and Watts came to him and asked what he was to give . He pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket showing that he was to give 2s . 1d . per 1b . and said " What can I give ? " price he could give was 2s . 2 d . The Mr. Tyrrell for the defendant said this was Any of your readers who could spare whole an interesting case , as it was the first case of buying that had been taken .

Dear Sir , I am quite sure that many who attended the " Patriotic Meeting " last Sun- day were much surprised with the " tone " of the Rev. Powell's . address , which made one . feel , before he had finished his oration , that one had come to a peace " meeting , but en- there was at least one phrase with which all his hearers will agree , he said in speaking of the Germans , " If any one met a mad animal in the public streets he would be careful not to irritate it . " The reverend gentleman was quite right , for all sane people would deavour to put the mad animal under res- traint or slaughter it , certainly not irritate it , but Mr. Powell would apparently ask this mad animal to please be good , for he went on to say a deputation should meet the repre- sentatives of Germany and see if they could not come to some terms of Peace . Peace ! The Rev. J. C. Elder , who has just returned from the front after doing noble work , in a stirring and sympathetic address at the same meeting said " Peace at the present moment would be catastrophe , " and urged everyone to " Stick it , " and thank Heaven the nation is determined to " stick it " until the " mad animal " is unable to do further destruction . Then , and not , until then , will all be thank- ful to talk of peace . In the words of the Prime Minister for France ( M. Painlevé ) on November 12th , 1917 , " Those who dream of peace at the present moment are traitors to their country , to civilisation , and to human- ity . " Yours truly , Leominster . A. E.

There was a good supply of articles and ready sale was effected . RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL . a . At a meeting of Ludlow Rural District Council on Monday , it was reported that the application of the roadmen had been con- sidered by a committee and they recommended that the majority be raised to 25s . and the rest in accordance with their abilities . recommendation was approved . The The Birmingham Water Depot wrote accept- ing the Council's offer of £ 50 for two years in settlement of their contribution to the re- pairs of Lower Whitcliffe Road . The Council was notified of a claim for Craven Arms , who stated that he fell through a footbridge at Sefton on October 27th . The estimates were laid before the Council and it was decided to make a rate of 3d . in the a tate o damages by Mr. S. Downes , Market Street , It was decided not to give out more piece- work to the roadmen except in the case of stone breaking . An insurance company offered to pay one half the bill for repairs to the ventilating shaft at Craven Arms , damaged by Dr. Tred- marshe's car . The matter was deferred . BOARD OF GUARDIANS . At the Board of Guardians it was decided to grant Christmas fare for the inmates , subject to the rations of the Food Controller and the supply . The estimates were considered and a rate of 41d . adopted . The Matron was granted £ 20 for acting as head nurse for the past two years . It was stated that two trucks of coal had come but that the coal would not last over Christmas . TOWN COUNCIL . the twelve months . seconded and it was carried unanimously .

Unfortunately on giving a good example . this country was suttering in an aggravated it was coming home to them that it was for way from the ease of many years of peace and the citizens in every borough to take their part in the administration of the country . Keferring to the solicitors he said that when they appeared before certain Benches they did not say " Now we shan't be long . " They did not look upon them with much delight but he ventured to say they carried out a useful purpose and the Mayor with his legal training would know that . They often heard , even from judges in the High Court , the remark that they regretted a case had not been suthciently argued . Therefore he said their duty was not as the public fancied , to get guilty people off , but to assist in getting all the tacts put before the Bench in proper order so that they might arrive at a rightful con- clusion . in doing this , he had always met with sympathy from the Bench and he was sure that so long as Councillor Dowding was Chief Magistrate of the Borough those whom he represented would know well that they would receive every consideration from the Bench . The Mayor returned thanks and said that as he had remarked before it would be his en- deavour to carry out the duties appertaining to that honourable office with credit to the Borough and satisfaction to all concerned . UNSHADED LIGHT . Dr. G. J. Cressy , Brook House , was sum- moned for failing to reduce or shade a certain inside light . Supt . Rooke said that on Saturday , at 10.25 p.m. , he saw a light coming from a window at Dr. Cressy's house , on the Vicarage Street There was no shade whatever . side . Dr. Cressy said the window was of thick There was a blind but it had ground glass . been destroyed unknown to him . The Mayor said that was the first case to come before him and with the approval of his fellow magistrates he was very glad to have the opportunity of exercising that clemency which he had power to do and the PRINTING !
