Aldershot News from Aldershot, Hampshire, England (2024)

NOVEMBER 3, 1961 THE ALDERSHOT NEWS, MILITARY GAZETTE, FARNBOROUGH CHRONICLE, FLEET TIMES ODIHAM OBSERVER PEOPLE in the news this week DARNBOROUGH will be saying and Mrs. K. R. Hickson next month. After 11 years in Farnborough, including two as Commandant of the Empire Test Pilots School, Capt.

Hickson is going pack. to closer associations with the Royal Navy, as commander of H.M.S. Station "Condoc." the Royal Naval Air at Arbroath, Scotland. For the past 13 years, Capt. command Hickof son the R.A.F.

He said this week: has been under the am looking forward to going back to the Navy very much. have sold my house and I am away on December After living at "Merrywind," Salisand bury Mrs. Road, Hickson Farnborough, will move Capt. into much grander quarters at Arbroach. Their official home will ho a large house with an impressive entrance driveway through an archway in the coach-house.

Before moving to the E.T.P.S. Hickson was deputy to the C.O.E.F. the commanding officer, experimental flying department at the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough. His successor as Commandant R. at the E.T.P.S.

will Watts, the present deputy to Group-Capt. D. P. Hanafin, the C.O.E.F. at the R.A.E, Mrs.

Hickson will be missed among Liberal Party workers in Farnborough for she has played an active part since the formation of the Farnborough Branch a few years ago. REMEMBER those two goodhumoured entertainers of a decade or more ago, the Two Syds? Remember the clever, topical material they used to write for their cabaret-style reminiscent of the Western Brothers? One of them, Syd Johns, who lives now at Caerphilly, South Wales, is still fit and flourishing and he wrote to a friend in Farnborough the other day to renew old acquaintances. People have not forgotten the witty performances the Two Syds used to put over. They appeared at all kinds of entertainments including charity shows throughout the district- always with highly pointed material specially written for the occasion and delivered with such good humour that nobody felt offended but they were probably at their best at dinners and smoking concerts. It is good to know that the surviving Syd is still well and has not forgotten his happy hunting ground around Farnborough.

Both were employed at the R.A.E. at the time. Mi. Keith Biles, son of Aldershot and Farnborough watchmaker, jeweller, Mr. Leslie Biles, and of Mrs.

Biles lives at Cranmore Lane, Aldershot, has been awarded a first-class certificate in the final grade examinations of the British Horological Institute. To win the award, he gained second place among entries for the whole of Britain and overseas countries in practical watchmaking, and on the aggregate marking for theory, drawing and practical work was fifth. When the President of the Society made the presentation in London on Thursday, he said the award was recognised throughout the world as the highest obtainable in the craft. "It cannot be bought; it is only awarded for meritorious achievement," he told the audience. Keith, who is in charge of the family shop in Camp Road, Farnborough, served an apprenticeship with the firm and did his practical training at the branch where he is now in charge.

When he reaches 21 he may, with a first class award, apply for Fellowship of the Society, the highest degree the Society can confer. A Fellowship was recently presented to the Astronomer Royal, Dr. R. van der Riet Woolley. ARGUS Not the action of SAYS: a successful youth committee chairman shot EMBERS Trades of Council Alderhad some hard things to say about Borough Councillor L.

P. Ball at their monthly meeting last week. Councillor Ball is chairman of Aldershot Youth Management Committee and it WAS very evident that trades councillors do not like him holding this position. I appreciate that youth work should be void of all politics, but I imagine that some of the heat engendered at the meeting was because Councillor Ball represents the Right and the Trades Council, the Left. Without giving any explanation for his remark, Mr.

Laurie Duncan, the chairman, described him as handicap to the Youth Mr. R. Lawes said he was "disgusted" after attending the last meeting of the Youth Committee, when he accused that several questions asked went unanswered. I believe Mr. Lawes was particularly sore about the Donkey Derby promoted by the Youth Committee during the summer at the Recreation Ground.

Information about the success of the event was not forthcoming which prompted one member to observe that Councillor Ball was law unto himself." MUST BE PREPARED Those who enter public life must be prepared for criticism of this sort. Unfortunately, on this occasion Councillor Ball was prevented from attending the Youth Committee meeting and when the matter was raised in the Trades Council naturally enough he could not speak for himself as he is not a member. Because we think Councillor Ball should have an opportunity to defend himself we told him about the criticism levelled at the Trades Council meeting and asked if he cared to make a statement. However, he said he wished to make no comment. He said he did not mind if it was published, though he hoped that for the sake of the Youth Club it would appear in print.

He admitted that there was a substance for a good headline and said that if this paper wanted to support the Youth Club, as it professed do, it would be better to omit any reference to the report. To Councillor Ball would say, this is not the action of a successful chairman. If the Trades Council has the interest to send along a representative to the Youth Council meetings- and they are one of the few organisations who do -then think that their criticisms should be respected. There is a scheme afoot to build a youth centre at a cost of several thousand pounds. A live, vigorous and unified committee will be required to run this and at the present time it does not appear to exist.

NO SPREE I note that Mr. E. J. Penn, chairman of Farnborough Council Finance Committee, levelled a warning that when the new assessments on housing property are completed by the end of the year and introduced in the financial year beginning April. 1963, they will be about two and a half times the present level.

As the re-assessments are being done by the Inland Revenue it means that all local authorities will be similarly placed and I hope it does not mean that our local councillors will go in for a spending spree with the surplus money which could be provided. Ratepayers will expect only to pay the same amount over the rate-collector's counter as they do today. The new assessment is to take some of the sharp edges off our present rating system- some ratepayers will undoubtedly suffer and others will benefit. The net income to the Council, however, should be the same. CONFLICTING Stand at the busy junction of Wellington Avenue and Hospital Hill, Aldershot, and I guarantee you will see driving errors tot up quicker than a cash register in a supermarket.

It baffles me why motorists who would never dream of passing a car on its wrong side when driving along a straight road will do that very thing at this junction. Nine out of every ten of them do. Suppose you have stopped your car at the lights on the N.A.A.F.I. Club side of Wellington stationary Avenue the and opposite you, at lights on Red -Church side, is another vehicle. And suppose you both intend turning right -you to drive up Hospital Hill and the other driver to go into Barrack Road.

Would you, when the lights changed to green, cut across the front of the other car so that your vehicles passed nearside to nearside? If you did you would be wrong, for your cars should pass offside to offside, that is the driving side of your car should be close to the driving side of the other vehicle as you both make the turn. Such a would give you both greater safety and a clearer vision of traffic following in its wake of the vehicle you are passing. What rule do you apply at the roundabout opposite the Club? Do you nose your way in as best you can and trust to luck that other drivers will give way, do you give way to traffic on one side or the other or do you give precedence to vehicles already in the traffic stream on the roundabout? NOT OFFICIAL A year or two ago at a busy roundabout in Dorset the local highway authority tried an experiment. At all approaches to the roundabout they displayed big notices "Give Way to Traffic on Your It was a success. Traffic flow was speeded up and the accident rate was cut drastically.

But the Minister of Transport ruled the sign was not official and it had to come down. The result was that chaos ruled again where previously traffic passed in orderly fashion. There is the argument, of course, that in the absence of any ruling for roundabouts all vehicles will slow down and if there is a collision it will be only slight. Having a regulation about drivers giving way to traffic on their right might prompt some drivers to charge through, foolishly believing they were doing the proper thing, and any resulting collision would be disastrous. Experienced drivers believe they should always give way to vehicles already in circuit on the roundabout, which, in effect, is giving way to traffic on their right.

But it is very strange that on these two important subjects turning right at traffic lights and negotiating, roundabouts no indication as to proper procedure is contained in the "Highway MORE SERIOUS Traffic accidents on the Hampshire roads during the three peak holiday months of July, August and September ran at just over 1,000 per month and casualties averaged nearly 6000 per month. While these figures, in fact. were just a shade down on last year (a total number of accidents for the three months of 3,131 compared with 3,270 last year), the accidents which do occur appear to be more serious in their effects. The number of persons seriously injured during that period rose from 603 to 638 and the number of people killed rose from 39 to 46. The causes of the accidents are, of course, many and varied, and most of them no doubt would be classed as preventable.

TWILIGHT ACCIDENTS There is one section of accident, however, to which the police draw special attention, as being a section where the cause can be so easily put right. This is the group of accidents which occur in the twilight or the dark as a result of motorists driving with sidelights only. The trouble often arises not so much from the fact that the sidelights do not give the motorist sufficient vision as from the fact that pedestrians and other road users do not recognise from sidelights that a fast moving car is approaching. The rule for motorists, should be -when using lights in built-up areas, never use sidelights only except in the most brilliantly lit up streets. "Dipped" headlights should be used in all town streets except those which really are perfectly lit; it will save life and limb.

GUY FAWKES NIGHT Don't fool with fireworks. Sheer horseplay and hooliganism cause most of the accidents on Guy Fawkes night. After last year's celebrations, Brigadier Ralph Stoney, DirectorGeneral, The Royal Society for the Prevention of, Accidents, appealed through the Press for information on bonfire night accidents. As a result of this survey RoSPA now issues this special warning. At least four people lost the sight of an eye, and many others landed in hospital with severe burns last year.

Take care when you handle fireworks. Do not throw them about or point them at others. To make your own fireworks is a dangerous practice. Home-made fireworks often explode unexpectedly. Don't let the children stuff the pockets of their jeans or jackets with fireworks.

A spark from a lighted firework can set them off. Last year a boy fell and the resultant friction ignited fireworks in his pocket. On bonfire night ensure that the young and old get a good view, but yet be far enough out of the way for safety. Follow the instructions on the label when lighting fireworks. Do not hold fireworks in the hand unless the label says it is safe to do so.

Keep bonfires away from buildings, sheds or bins and never light them on the roadside. Brigadier Stoney makes this final appeal: "Let us aim at an accidentfree bonfire night as a fitting finale to National Fire Prevention 15 years' service with the W.V.S. MEDALS for Women's 15 years' service SerVoluntary vices have been presented to Mrs. M. Luck and Mrs.

B. Rundle, members of the Aldershot branch. A similar medal is to be presented to Mrs. K. Eppell.

Members of Aldershot Darby and Joan Club are to start their second and fourth Thursday meeting next week. With the approach of colder weather there has been a demand for blankets issued by the branch and with their stocks now running low they have appealed for further supplies from local people. Another service provided by the branch--the meals on wheels- is working to capacity and more than 50 meals were supplied last month. Dispensing service at Aldershot All chemists: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Although the Home, which was opened in 1863, is now but a pile of rubble, Miss Daniell's boast that a door would always be open to a soldier continues, because the Home has been moved to temporary quarters opposite. Eventually a new home will be built on the site of the one now coming down Paratroopers go shark fishing FIFTEEN men and officer chute Regiment, are on two-week from the 1st Theo Paraadventure training course in Cornwall. The party is led by Lieut.

William King and during the two weeks the men will take part in cave exploration, climbing expeditions on Dartmoor and the Scilly Isles, and the most exciting pursuit of all-shark fishing. Local fishermen from Looe are taking parties of paratroopers out each day in search of these giants. They will. also give tions lectures to the local cadets and Territorial Army men. Local comedian off to Cyprus COMEDIAN Clifford Henry, who lives at Little Gates, Prospect Road.

Farnborough, is shortly off on another of his tours abroad entertaining the Services in Cyprus, North Africa and Malta. He is due to leave on November 11 and will be away for a month. On his return he will be going to Bournemouth to begin rehearsals for Emile Littler's pantomime "Goody Two Shoes" at the Pavilion, where he will be playing the Dame. a new role for him. Starring in the pantomime will be Richard Hearne (Mr.

Pastry), who was in Aldershot this week when he compered a mannequin parade at the Officers' Club in aid of the Spastics Society. This summer Clifford Henry has been principal comedian at Shanklin, where he had a successful season. He will be returning there again next year. NEXT WEEK AT THE PICTURES Guns of Navarone" (Empire, Aldershot), which starts an indefinite season next week, is the long-awaited film of Alastair McLean's exciting book about a group of saboteurs who aim to silence the German guns which prevent the evacuation of 2,000 British troops from a Greek island. To do this they find a way into the impenetrable fortress where the guns are housed.

In the cast are Gregory Peck, David Niven, Anthony Quayle, Stanley Baker. Anthony Quinn and Gia Scala. War also comes into another film next week, "The Queen's Guards' (Alexandra, Aldershot), but in this semi-documentary it takes only its natural place. in the guards' life story in war and peace. The Trooping of the Colour and similar guards' ceremonials add colour and excitement to the story, which has a fictional thread running through it.

Father and son actors Raymond and Daniel Massey head the cast, with support from Ursula Jeans and Anthony Bushell. The late Belinda Lee, killed so tragically in a road accident in California a few months ago, stars in a French film. "The Young Have No (Palace, Aldershot), as an imperious rich girl with whom the hero (Jacques Charrier, Brigite Bardot's husband), dreams of eloping. The hero believes in the one perfect love, but diverts himself in the meanwhile with casual conquest and the pleasures of the chase. He takes a student (Charles Aznavour) in tow, and together they ahead with their search for their ideals.

Anouk, Dany Robin and Nicole Berger co-star. "East of Eden" (A.B.C., Aldershot), which starred the late James Dean, comes round for another showing. It is a powerful story of twisted emotions and loyalties, of the love of two brothers for the same girl, and of a father's rejection of one son's affection. James Dean paints a penetrating portrait of a rebellious youth, and others in the cast are Julie Harris, Raymond Massey, Jim Backus and Burl Ives. Don Murray stars in a film which he also produced, "The Hoodlum (Rex, Farnborough) for' the first three days.

He plays the name part, that of a priest who acts and talks like young thugs in an attempt to rehabilitate them, and starts a home in which they can re-adjust themselves to life. At the end of the week John Gregson, Herbert Lom and Alfred Marks star in "The Frightened City, a gangster drama of London night-life, where a club owner runs a protection racket which terrorises Soho.

Her husband continued at East End Schools and was headmaster there from 1936-40, when he retired.

In 1942, he was co-opted a member of Aldershot Borough Council. and proved his popularity by topping the poll in the 1945 elections. He was elected an alderman in 1954, but resigned from the Council at the end of last year and from Aldershot and Farnborough Divisional Education Executive in June this year. Mr. and Mrs.

Eddy have no children. Funeral is this afternoon at Aldershot Park Crematorium. Mrs. Eddy, like her husband, was an enthusiastic bowls player.
