'Dearth of Radical Thinking' Hits


Britain's Economy


SPEAKING at the annual general meeting of the Whalley, Wiswell and Barrow Liberal Association this week. Mrs. Vera MacMillan, prospective Liberal parliamentary ■ can­ didate commented on recent remarks made by Sir Frank Pearson, M.P., for the Division. “ Ft is ironic,” she said,

the Council and Chief Financial Officer (Mr. L. D.

In the estimates year the Surveyor, Mr. Berry, had further expendi- ’ture on window replacements and renewal of chain link fenc­ ing at Waddington and renewal of chain link fencing and re­ roofing of outhouses at Grindle- ton. These items were estimated to cost £695. On the basis of these estimates the present repairs contribution should be

a good deal better oif than the critics of this system would like to imagine. They are warm and dry, and their food and drink is always at hand. Those who visit a battery house will hear the birds chuckling and clucking in contentment. Hens will only lay well when they are content, and tlie proof of the pudding is that battery kept hens are more pro­ lific layers than their free-range


sisters. The free-range hen. on the
