Special Offer on installation of selected models during


MAY a n d JU N E


There’s a simple reason lor this offer—we want to •ven out the strain on our installation engineers and speed up service to our customers. At present, there is a massive demand for Unit-Plan heating in autumn and winter, and we are trying to spread this demand in order to give customers a quicker installation service.


.This special offer means that you can now start with a two heater installation of Unit-Plan for UNDER £41—or on easy terms over 3 years.


i


The offer applies to the selected models which can be seen in our service centres.


Unit-Plan is the answer if you are looking for inexpensive central heating—far and away the cheapest to install. It is thoroughly economical to run as it takes up its heat using cheap off-peak


electricity and stores it for comfort warmth all the next day.


HALF PRICE ELECTRICITY. Electricity for this purpose has not been increased in price, it is only three farthings per unit so you will be well advised to take advantage of this special low tariff.


if you already have Unit-Plan, this is a great opportunity to add storage heaters in other rooms at this bargain price. Remember—from May to June you’re sure of extra quick^iellvery and you save £3 on every heater installation.


For full details of the plan, including the exact cost in quarterly payments, call in at your local Electricity showroom—or send in this coupon today. You’ll be ready for next winter—now.

Now, as we sat by the edge of the river just a hundred yards from Lite nest it was easy to see that all had been progressing smoothly since that date. Seconds later a fami­ liar "zip, zip” and a skimming, dark figure came downstream, to alight on a half submerged boulder just opposite to where the nest was situated. I watched and in turn was watched by the dipper. Obviously suspicions could not overcome the desire to return to the nest. The bird stood dipping in characteristic fashion but showed no sign of crossing the water to the nest. We waited until, a few minutos

But it was with more than usual interest that I recall drawing attention to the death of a more adult stag in this area during the autumn. Indeed, I discovered both bodies within an area of two hundred yards. Rather significant you will admit and some Indication of the large number of fatalities which occur during the year. If it is possible for one observer to find two in less than twelve months who can say there are not others? One individual cannot see or check fatalities over more than a small area and there one can only con­ clude the area under survey is but a reflection of other terri­ tory.
