BADSEY’S EXAMPLE
The village of Badsey has so far done fairly well. Up to Tuesday night some £1,556 had been invested through the Local War Savings Association, and to that another £310 was added on Thursday. In addition some £4000 from the village has gone through the banks so that a Souvenir Shell is certain to go to Badsey. Mr Sladden is, however, not satisfied and he wants a sufficiently large investment to secure the largest shell. This may come along yet.
BADSEY - PRETTY WEDDING
A BROKEN LEG
On Tuesday a youth named Frank Sparrow, of Badsey, was admitted to Evesham Cottage Hospital suffering from a broken leg. He was playing football on the Vicarage field, when he was accidentally kicked. He was attended by Dr Harthan, and is making quite good progress.
WHEN IT MAY BE USED
NO PETROL FOR HOLIDAY EXCURSIONS
