ALDINGTON ANNIVERSARY

ALDINGTON – BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOL

SUNDAY SCHOOL OUTING

BADSEY – ROSES

Mr. Sladden is throwing his rose garden open on Sunday next from 5 to 8p.m., and in such a fine season this well-known collection should be well worth a visit. On this occasion visitors will be asked to pay a small entrance fee towards the village fund for providing extra comforts for the local sailors and soldiers serving abroad. We understand that many parcels have been sent out already and have given much pleasure to the recipients.

WAR LECTURE

A lecture on the war was held in the Council Schools on Friday evening. Mr. J. Sladden, in opening the meeting, gave an interesting description of the latest phase of the war – the bombardment of the Dardanelles. He explained the geographical situation, and the importance of forcing them. The supply of wheat and barley which could pass through from Russia would probably lower prices in this country.
