describes the feelings of an old Clitheronian after reading in the “Advertiser and Times” on the subject of the King Lane Hall. First the splendidly lucid edi­ torial with its points so economic­ ally and convincingly set out; secondly, the incomprehensible behaviour of the Council in opposing the buying of the Hall on such favourable terms, whilst at the same time opposing the buying of it by anyone else on the grounds that the town would be deprived of it; thirdly, the dropping of a clanger by a com­ mittee which only came to life after six years, and, lastly, the meanderings of a correspondent who begins his two columns of blurb by saying ‘ I have nothing to add or take away from what I said before. If I had anything to add, I would suppress it.”
