Donkeys Don't Go to the Dentist


rp<HE Town Council, at their x monthly me e t i n g last


week, decided to reconsider a recommendation- to give a local football team the use of a pitch at Henthorn Park for a trial period during the com­ ing season.


The decision arose out of a


request by Mr. J. Woodworth for the Council’s assistance in securing a home ground for a local team which desired to play in a recently - formed


junior football league. Moving the reference back


of a Parks and Cemeteries Committee minute granting the use of the field, the Mayor, Coun. W. Sharpies, said Hen- thorn Park was not suitable for organised football whether played by juniors or not. There


were no toilet facilities and no d r e s s i n g accommodation. Another difficulty was that there were four paths around the pitch and people would be inconvenienced in walking


about the park. It was proposed to play the


matches on Saturday morn­ ings, and this would deprive a lot of young children from using the facilities. He was definitely not against organ­ ised football, but felt that it this application were allowed, the Council could not fairly refuse applications of a similar nature, which he felt would be forthcoming.


WOULD CHURN UP Seconding, Coun. J. W. D.


Critchley said the proposed pitch was devoid of drainage and would churn up in bad weather to become a mud- patch. The proposed area was only small and unsuitable and he felt the Council ought to look elsewhere to help the young people concerned.

“because In this land of apparent plenty there are more and more means of entertainment and information which do not necessitate reading—the television, wireless, and pictures.
