Why were flags at full mast?


I WAS somewhat surprised and concerned to see on Sun­ day that the flags on both the Town Hall and .the Castle were flying at full mast. I have subsequently asked


more than one prominent per­ son in the town, who I thought would be able to give me an appropriate answer as to why the flags were not at half mast. I appreciate that Remembr­


ance’ Sunday is a national day of remembrance, and I also' understand to many young people it is remembering something they really know nothing about. Nevertheless, to the older people and those who were personally involved, it is still very much a vivid memory. I consider that a flag'flying


top of a pole indicates a time for rejoicing. I wonder -if any of your


readers can supply a satisfac­ to ry and understandable re ason. I would also be interested to know when a decision was made to change what was always normal on such a day.- . JOHN N. CLAYTON

The idea was for units of


perhaps 1,500 to 15,000 sq. f t . , employing 25 to 100 people. What had to be decided, he said, was the type of industry needed in Chip­ ping and which sections of the community would benefit most. Land most suitable for siting the units would also have to be identified.


He said the Commission


selected a key village capable of taking more development which, as well as providing employment, .also stimulated trade in shops and gave more justification for retaining bus services, doctors’ surgerie’s and a wide range of things
