. ISSUE NO. 1 JANUlillY, 1973 • 
EDIT ORIAL 
So much bas been spoken and wi tten about children deformed 
by thalidomide tbat the repetition becomes a little tiring. 
One reads about it in the papers and hsars it again on 
television, in the main just repetition. Not lies of 
course but then perhaps not the whole story either. Being 
hw:lan few of us looking at the same object would see it in 
a way which would enable us to describe it identically: 
when the same exercise is carried out with events or 
circumstances the results can be quite extraordinary. It 
does not ruke any of the statements less true, it only 
emphasises that half a. story may e.asily give a totally 
'Wrong impression. 
It is .a rutter for some concern that the solution to the 
problem of adequate compensation was not as it should bave 
bsen, in the hands of G onrnment. It ssems incomprehensible 
that individual members of Society were left to battle out 
a settlement with the manufacturers. The National 
Health Service must accept responsibility for it& • 
performance. Whether it concsrns testh, l'lajor surgery, 
treatmsnt, medicines or drugs. 1,11 victims of the 
National Health Service (and of course there have bsen 
other failures apart from prescribing thalidomide) for 
this particular purpose means all women who were prescibed 
the drug during pregnancy by their Rsgistered 
Doctor under the Health Service and produced a deformed 
child as a result should have been able to obtain redress 
from this Government Department. There is no reason why 
the Department should not accept responsibility and the 
Minister responsible should take such steps t9 see that 
all future cases are dealt with by the Dept. It seems 
needless to say that the Health Service would need 
guarantees from manufacturers before allowing a 
manufacturer's products to be prescribed and used in the 
Service. It should follow that each affected child would 
have been ablt. to obtain equitable compensation all judged 
.from one standpoint. This would be as near to justice as 
-we know it. Ms.ny believe that to measure compensation in .. ••--• •• , '• · ,..􀀚. r•" , 

terns of ooney is difficult and precarious in the sense of 
not being reliably accurate, but in our sort of world there 
are few alternatives. Our sympathies are with these 
children who survived birth, but if they had not and many 
deforI:led children did not, they would not have to be the 
object of our sympathy now - will they receive the 
attention they got now when they are much older when their 
􀃳arents are no longer able to care. It is perhaps relevant 
:,c, mke the point, for the benefit of the oore vociferous 
􀃴eople,who have urged reasonable compension, that it is 
:?J;reasonabJe to continuously use the capability of the 
,;.;;.}tillers Group to pay conpGnsation when the coapi.ny 
t;o:1cerned is one of many companies who make up the group. 
: f the North Thaoes Gas Board, due to faulty installation, 
o.".ew up your house it would be of little use claioing on 
t􀃵e Government, you would be referred back to the Gas 
Board concerned, who will be expected to provide 
"ompensa tion. 
As a little food for thought I have been told that the 
n:IDber of known children.deformed by Thalidonide is only 
c..::'ound 1% of the nuober of mothers who were prescribed the 
c:rug during pregnancy, If these figures are correct it 
c;,pears to show that the drug was well tested but in:.::
fficiently, in the light of what is now believed: that 
􀃶31% of women have different chemistry which would not 
prevent the drug reaching the foetus.

When a new year begins it is always encouraging to have 
sooething to look forward to as I feel very sorry for 
those people who rarely if ever have something to look 
forward to, or whose reaction to the new year is, •well 
it can't be as bad as the last.1 We all need treats 

,::.atever age we are. Sometimes our life can be too full so 
• nat we are not able to value the different things toot we 
cr.'.ve to do. But that at least is a liappier situation than 
•·:1ose people who feel that every ·day, fs another 24 hours to 
f.ill. 
Some people who really suffer are the homeless. I believe 
>hat the charity Shelter fulfils a very great m.ed. Not 
··,.:J.y do they find homes for pGopl.a at reasonable rents but 
·.lso through very careful research make sure that we are 
,.:pt well aware of how desperate the situation is. To be 
.. "cthout a home means that you are without any real sense of 
:cccurity. The one sense that it vital to all of us. 
- :0e of the treats that I have enjoyed r.iost during the past 
:•,mth is the Dorney Primry School Christms entertainnent. 
__ i;. was very obvious that a great deal of work had gone in to 
,􀅽ke what was a very successful pVening. One of the things 
·•,:nt staggered oe was the 111ID.ber of children involved. This 
,: ort of thing is much easier to do if you only have to use 
2 ! ,out 2½ children but when you are using a cast of l,OOOs 
,._a are really taking on a tough assignment. The children are 
·.:, be congratulated on their high standard of performance and 
\c0 Price and his staff are to be congratulated on taking so 
'.ich tirl6 and .care over what was a first class evening. On 
1,n.e .Monday rony of the audiemce were given mi· extra treat 
.,;.rough the kindness of the Brownies. 
: t looks as though the house is going to be just as busy this 
:
0 ,i.=er as last. Already four W68ks have been booked by people 
.:.,nting to bring children who normally would not get a holiday 
-:J Dorney. I ao also pleased that a mu:iber of clrurch groups 
_,_,·0 beginning to use the house for day conferences. Our own 
',:•mery of Burnham have booked the house for two conferences 
.,:, January Dth and Fe:bruary 24th. The theme of the first 
, : nference is I Membership in the Church I and the second is 
'J:1ristianity under Challenge 1• One thing is certain they 
:,::'e both topics which r.iany of us would do well to consider 
nce:l anyone wanting more details about these conf6rences I 
,, .11 be only too pleased to supply thee. 
:0:ie Explorers have been oeeting regularly throughout the year 
J􀀆, Dorney School.· Attendances have not been that 
c;·,couraging but I ao extremely grateful for the tremendous 

• 
• 
anount of work and time that the teachers have put in 
over the.year. I certainly think that those children 
who have come regularly have enjoyed themselves and 
have contributed to the spiritual life of the parish. 
We are al-w,ys ready to welcome more children and 
Explorers re-start after Ghristoos on January 14th at 
9.45 a.m.

A TltlliUTE TO 11TUBBY11 OF HETHERDi,LE 
A great friend of the Horticultural Society died on 
November 15th, 1972, after a long . illness courageously 
borne ; but of course Tubby was also well known to 
J:1D.ny other Societies in the District and a stalwart 
and ally to r:iany people from all walks of life. I 
suppose I knew him as well as tt ost, and apart from his . 
wide knowledge of engineering chemistry and nattlral 
sciences, Tubby was a stimulating conversationalist, 
on a variety of matters , not the least of which was 
Horticulture. He had a great sense of fun; loved 
life fervently; and was considered to be 
indestructable . 
His work and enthusiasr1 with the Horticultural Society 
over the years was invaluable , Tubby has left his mrk 
and will .be remembered by us all.

The Decenber n􀆋.eting started in festive style with the 
appearance of the speaker , Mr-. Jowett, wearing the 
traditional uniform of a Lloyds waiter (no connection 
with food ) with masses of silver buttons and a goldtrimmed 
top hat. His talk on the City of London was 
illustrated with colour slides and some fascinating 
anecdotes. 
The broad outlines of the story.were familiar, fro□ the 
founding of the original city by the Romans , through the 
Norman. conquest, the Great Fire of 1666 and the re-building 
of St. Paul's, up to the present day and the sale of 
London Bridge to America. More interesting were the 
numerous details with which the story was packed , for 
instance the fact that it was a fore igner , Willia□ 
of Gra nge , who founded the Bank of England ; .that the gold en gras shopper adorning the Royal Exchange comes 
firno am ftiheel db adasg e a ofb aSbyir; Thtohmaats tGhree ssahnadmy, fbound abandoned each near Tower 

Br idge was imported by a kindly Lord Miyor for city 
childr en to play on; and that the br onze plaque of 
Sir John Stowe, the ancient ci ty historian, has a 
new quill pen placed in its hand every year (to 
encourage him to ca rry on writing ?) 
After Mr. Jowett had bsen thanked and seen on his 
way, we had another unusual item, a demonstr ati on 
of puppy tr aining and obedience by Miss Strugnell 
and her young .klsatian, Simon, born in Dor ney 
ne arlY 3 years ago, and alre ady a cr edit to the 
comm unity. Simon attends the Eton Rur al Dog 
Training Club, and has gained an impr essive display 
of rosettes. 
We then passed, reluctantly, to ths business 
meeting. Mrs. Williamson welco med a new member, 
Mrs. Allan, and a visi tor , Mrs. Butcher . The new 
Mcorunittee was introduced, including newcomers rs. hoberts, Mrs. Saunders and Mrs. Dorrell. 
.kfter her visit here last month, Lady Burnham has 
invited us to sse over her house, Hall Barn, 
sometime next s=er. 
Menbers felt too cold to work up any enthusiasm 
for a trip to see the Slseping Beauty on Ice, but 
the report on the result of the Autunn Fayre was 
more warming. Mrs. Hudd art announced that we had 
made a profit of over £90. She later put forward a 
proposal to invsst £150 of our surplus funds in a 
building society, which was approved by the meeting. 
The President said a letter would be sent to Mrs. 
Wooller, thanking her for all the work she had done for her stall. 
The winners of the match-box competition were Mrs. 
Jones, Mrs. Sharp and Mrs, Roberts. 
The speaker on January 10th will be Sergeant Gray on "Drugs and Young People" .

Mrs. Hohnen. 
Mrs . Jones . 
NoveDber J:1Ust have been a great relief to the Water 
Boards, for it was the first month for a very long tme, 
that rainfall actually exceeded the average. 
It gave little warning of being wet, for with a high 
barometer, the first 6 days were dull, quiet, and dry, 
with j ust a spatter of rain on the 5th• . Q uite a Diner 
fall in the glass produced nearly f' of rain over the 
7th and 8th. Then the glass really fell, and the days 
although windy were quite sunny, but with sone rain on 
the 10th. 
Tba 13th was a wild day, with gales overnight, and over 
􀍀 of rain, but it was sunny, and so were the following 
two days. On the 18th the glass plunged again, this tiDe 
to below 290011 on the 20th, and not surprisingly there 
was a further f' of rain spread over the 19th and 20th. 
Then the glass climbed in one of the nest spectacular 
rises I have see n for a long time: a full lf1 to 30.611 
on the 25th, with four brilliant and breezy days, but as 
is customary in such conditions, the wind swung round to 
the north, and it became rather cold, with a maxiJ:lUm of 
40c on the 25th0 The last few days were unsettled, with 
sons sun, rain and wind . 
The highest teDperature for the month was 17°c on the 
• 6th, and the lowest - 3°c on the 18th. There were air 
frosts on 8 days of the Donth but little fog, which was

NAT Uf.E NOTES 
At !loon on the 2nd December, I saw a very large flock of 
fieldfares flying west. The flock ws UilllSually large, 
and must have easily ntmbered over a thousand. These 
thrushes have been about for some weeks now and I have 
seen the!!! in small flocks here and there, but none as 
large as this. Gome next April, these winter-visitors 
will be returning to their breeding grounds which 
extend from Norway to Russia and Siberia. 
I reported last l-hrch that the floating fern was to be 
seen once again in its old haunts. A wlk up to Lot1 s 
Hole now will show this little fern back to something 
like its old abundance, forming a pinky-green covering 
to the water, 
I suppose that we had a fair picking of mushrooms from 
the fields roundabout this autumn, but the cold 
weather has now called a halt to their growth. As we 
are rather fond of mushrooms I decided to try arid grow 
some, using one of the commercial compost packs which 
need little attention save their weekly sprinkling 
with about half a pint of water. The day after buying 
the pack I heard one of the team on Gardeners' Question 
Time denouncing them as a waste of time! ! That was 
on November 12th. We picked the first¼ lb. yesterday 
(15th December) and by the looks of the way the crop is 
developing and the pries of mushrooms in the shops we 
will coElfortably cover the initial outlay. I will 
report how it goes, 
In the field it is rather hard to see the way in which 
the JJUshroom fruiting-body grows because one never 
knows exactly where to look for it until too late, 
However, great interest has been shown in the way this 
crop has developed, because there it was happening just

ISSUE NO. 2 FEBRUARY, 197.3. 
EDITORIAL 
If life in Britain is influenced frqm the other side of the 
4-tlantic than the following reports published in the 
national press this week are very disturbing. 
•One person out of over three living in densely 
populated areas of the United States has bean 
rugged or robbed or has suffered property loss 
during the past 12 months. Four out of every ten' 
ar􀘎 afraid to walk alone at night in their neighbourhoods, 
while one in six does not feel safe and 
secure -in his own home at night.• 
RA small pen-sized radio transmitter is being tested 
with which teachers in New York schools can call for 
h􀘏lp if they are attacked. The schools in N ew York 
are often highly dangerous places. .M:uiy pupils 
are on qrugs and others carry gurls ·ana either weapons," 
Although we may consider it fortunate that life here bas not 
sunk tq. this abysmal level and congra tula ta GUrsa1 ves that the 
British soci.14 conscience coupled with the integrity and 
efficiency of our police force may be.barriers against the 
cause and effect of such crime, there is no ground for • .• 
complacency. Crimes of violence are certainly on the ·increase 
and μnsocial behaviour and dishonesty, if·not condoned, is 
not always condemned, I dislike the tendency to soft-pedal 
on the description of crimes; to make them sou.nd less tha:n 
they ar􀘐. lligging is Robbery with Violence and pilfering 
from ahas place of work is Stealing. 
The continual preoccupation with violence in films ancr on 
T.V. ang the _prevalence of petty crime·s and bad manners 
condit'ion us tq accept that which we shou:l.d· abhor, until 
we will suddenly find ourselves living in the sams fear as 
·those Americans we now pity, I would like to see violence 
condelJilSd with the same weight am enthusiasm as has bean 
shown in the condemnation of pornography, for I consider 
violence to be the greater menace to society, 

Th6 -re􀘑l problem is, of course, to discover the r􀘒ason for 
the increase in violent crime. It is su􀘓gested that most 
petty crime (petty to all but the victim) is committed as 
an escape from boredom. This makes robbery even more wicked, 
for where once this crime was.linked with poverty it is 
now apparently. a perve. rse ple. asure.

One of the Charities that has had a tremendous increase in 
its 􀘙upport recently has been 1 Help the Aged 1, It may be 
because some people believe that charity begins at home! 
As well as there being the obvious financial aims of the 
charity they also aim to be able to supply clothes to the 
elderly in nsed both in this country and abroad, I would 
be very gratefiμ if people would be willing to turn out all 
their old but still useful clothes and bring then to the 
Vicarage or Clrurch on the weekend of 1'hrch 3rd/4th, I am 
afraid that I will not be able to receive then before as I 
have no where to store them at the Vicarage. 
One of the things that a trerendous number of people deplore 
about modern society is the violence that it breeds. Violent 
crimes seem to be on the increase and people are often afraid 
to go out alone at night or to answer the door of their own 
house, l,nd what is even more frightening is that there seems 
to be little understanding as to the reasons for this growth 
or ways in which it can be reduced or stopped, Some feel 
that to bring mck hanging would be the ideal answer to 
stop violent nrurders. This idea I am afraid I could never 
agree with as I feel that any society that has legalised 
murder on its statute book has little regard for the true 
values of life, I am also surprised that many people who 
hate violence seem to be very keen on sone rather violent 
ways of coping with the problem. The only real solution is the long term one and that is to create a society 
that does not need to be violent, By the way I don't 
think that Tom and Jerry do too much harm! 

For those of you who don't know,the Parochial Church Council 
neat once a month; on the first Wednesday of the month. 
The ncetings last l½ hours during which time it is our 
endeavour to_get, through a fair amount of work. The Agenda 
of the nesting is alwnys published on the church notice 
board so that any r.tember of the parish can put forwnrd 
their views.'through their representatives. At the last 
meeting it was decided, after i:ruch discussion that we 
should revert to' thc practice of one Evensong a month on 
the first Sunday of the month. Another topic that we have 
to discuss is the possibility that various parishes will 
have.to work more closely together as a group ministry. 
This is no easy matter to discuss as people have their own 
feelings and prejudices one way or the other. It means, 
of course, that we are forced to think wider than our own 
i.l?1mediate cor.munity, which is not a bad thing, and to 
consider the m:eds of the church as a whole. 
We are also faced with doing certain repairs and redecoration 
to the Church itself. ,lnd although I am a firm 
believer tint people are more important than buildings, 
when we have a Church which is as beautiful as ours we 
i:rust show responsibility towards it. The cost of the work 
that has to be done is in the region of £1, 000. 
The project will be doing its own fanfare for Europe in. 
June of this year, when we hope to accommodate a group 
of German students who will be visiting Slough as guests 
of the Rotunda Y0uth Club. We nay be a little later than 
most fanfares but we get round to doing things in the end ! 
With every good wish, 
Yours .ever, 
Roger Royle,

VCLNEY EASTEiJ. CJ,RNIVl,L AND TAH& HORSE SHCM 
Over Easter, this year on April 23rd, we shall be holding a 
two day Easter Carnival in Dorney. Taplow Horse Show will 
be the main event, but we aim to have.lots.of other 
attractions, such as Police Dogs, Motor Displays, Gun'Dog 
Displays, Clay Pigeon Shooting and Parades of Beagles, 
Foxhounds and Bloodhounds. 
It will be on Easter Sunday an::l Monday and we hope that 
there will be lots of fun things to do as well as watch; 
we would like it to be a "take part yourself" carnival so 
if organisations in the village have any ideas then 􀅚 
would like to embody them if possible. 
' 

The idea is that if there are any profits they shoul:l be 
given to various organisations, chief of which would be 
The Dorney-Eton Clrurch project and The World Wild Life 
Fund. 
We shall report progress next mon􀘝h in the parish mgazine, 
but your ideas would be most welcome to us.

Valuable quantities of cannabis,. ISD and other dangerous 
Jrugs were being passed fr@e.ly from band to hand at the 
.-􀘠nd of the January meeting•. · Uo, the w.r. bas not gone to 
pot - after listening to Sergeant Gray 1 s fascinating and 
alarming talk on Drugs and Young People it was inconceivable 
that anyone should want t·o - risk the horrors that these 
minute part􀘡7les of substance can bring about. 
3he dealt sympathetically with the teenagers, whos·e spirit 
9f adventure and revolt naturally lends them to want to try 
tannabis for themselves. This slows down their reactions and 
can cause lung cancer, but far worse it enables the pushers, 
who are careful not to take drugs themselves, to lead them 
on to sonething stronger and more expensive. Thus begins 
the downhill trend, fer every drug experience, however 
pleasant, leaves them feeling worse than before, and they 
crave nore drugs just to get back to normal. Some leave 
home to avoid criticisn, and are found dying of pneumonia 
and rno.lnutrition, or suffering from blood poisoning caused 
by dirty hypodermic needles. Due to the unceasing efforts 
of the police drug squads, who are out to catch the 
pushers, not their victims, some are reclaimed but others 
suffer permanent brain dalllcl.ge and change of personality 
from the use of ISD. 
In spite of her depressing subject, it was a pleasure to 
see Sergeant Gray again. She inspires more confidence than 
l!la.ny of the careworn policemen on T.V. 
At the beginning of the nesting, the President wished 
everyone a Happy New Year and welconed a new member, Mrs. 
Burgess. To make the accounts easier, one of our bye-laws 
has been changed. Mrs. Huddart proposed the motion that 
the Financial Year should end on September 30th instead of 
cOactrorbieerd 3u1nastni. moTuhsliys . was seconded by Mrs. Hohnen and 
The next Group Meeting will be held here on March 21st, 
and Mrs. Finch is producing a short play for the social 
time. This will be a "command performance" - all those

THE WEATHER OF DECEMBER 
, J?ecer:1ber started very unsettled, and opened the flood 
gates at last. The cause, an extensive low pressure area, 
which·remained with us for the first ten days. There 
were .46" of rain on the 2nd, and the brilliant sunshine 
of a typical transitional day on the 3rd: 0 411 of rain on 
the 4th, and a further inch spread over the 5th and 6th; 
with a peal of thunder on the 6th, to er:1phasise the 
tur bu1ence of the air. 
The 7th, 8th and 9th, al though contributing nearly 􀅙• of 
rain between thaw, were sunny but windy. Gradually the 
rain petered out, and as we came under the influence of 
a high over southern Europe, so southerly winds brought 
some unseasonably warr:1 weather, with l5oC on the 13th. 
We should be quite happy with 'bhis in April ! 
The high intensified, and spread to the north-east,· and 
it became cooler, and on the'l8th and 19th, rather foggy. 
The fog oocame r:m.ch thicker around mid-day on the 19th, 
but it cleared by dusk. Fog is usually worst at night, 
for the air is then colder, causing the·water vapour to 
condense out, so why should fog sometimes. beo9me suddenly 
• 

.. 
• 
dense in the r:u.ddle of the day ? This is often due to the 
local mixing of cold and warm air, as a front :rasses, an'l as 
this can only happen when air is on the move, the fog which 
forms at the interface soon travels on. 
• From the 19th to the 23rd, the weather was cool, still, and 
cloudy, but Christmas day was sunny. Over Christmas the 
glass fell steadily, but the low pressure broU[;ht less than 
.111 of rain. A brilliant day on the 29th -was followed by a 
rising barometer, and two days of continuous fog; and but 
for these two days the whole month would have passed without an air frost; a strange record indeed for 1)9Mnber. : • 
The rnaxil:n.un tel'.'lperature was that 15oC on the 13th, and the 
l'linimum -3°C on the 31st. Total rainfall was 3.04 11, about 
50% above normal, one of the few tines the monthly rainfall 
ws above average this year􀘚 which has proved to be. the 
d􀘛iest in London since records began 32 years ago. With 
8 days when the sun shone for nore thnn hnlf the day, it 
was not a bad month at all. 
ISOlliill. 
NATURE NOTES 
At the time of writing, Dorney finds itself very close to 
an area where the swine vesicular disease hns broken out. 
Tke two farms in question are at Colnbrook and between them 
have lost well over 21 000 head of pigs. It seens that the 
outbreak appeared in some pigs bought from Chippenham 
Mi.rkst the week before and as a result all the pigs on the 
two farms have had to be slaughtered as a precautionary 
measure. The infected ones were slaughtered before the 
results of the confirmatory tests were known, and the rest 
took two days to be finished off by Ministry men with their 
guns working almost round the clock. 
The corpses cannot be buried as the wter-tabla is so near 
the surface, so they are all having to be burned on large 
open coal fires. After two months the far􀘜s will be able 

to start their restocking with pigs for fattening, and 
later, will be able to begin the building up of their 
value to the farmer as a breeding herd but ?n the me􀘗t 
value which is quite different. Capital Gains tax will 
have to be paid on this and of course tax ?n the interest 
whilst the money is sitting in the bank waiting to be used. 
The symptoms of the disease are blisters between·the .toes 
and inside the mouth, a lameness and a rise in tempera􀘘e, 
lameness is not unusual in pigs that have been reared in • 
the open and after market are fattened in oonorete-floored 
pens. The hoof is iI:itially worn away faster than it will 
grow, with the obvious discomfort to the pig and so the 
Ministry is urging farmers to take special note of any 
lameness. 
So little is known about the disease that farmers and vets 
are really working in the dark. If it is allowed to take 
its course it is probable that the pigs would recover and 
apart from being behind schedule would t1ake the grade for 
market. No doubt it would take -its toll of the less healthy pigs and would always be about to attack any that 
had not developed a resistance to it. The country would 
never again be free of it. This is the course taken in 
mny countries abroad with foot and mouth disease and they 
can never hope to be free from it now. Over here it may. 
look a hopeless task at the moment, but if we have the 
success that has been achieved in the past in dealing with 
foot and mouth, then this disease will be beaten. 
The success depends· on vigilance and honesty on the part 
of the farmer, co-operation on the part of the public in 
not wandering in prohibited areas and on a good deal of 
luck - for it could well be that birds like the gulls 
which spend much of their time on the farmland could be 
helping in its spread.

ISSUE NO, .3 MARCH, 197.3, 
E􀈱I􀊮ORIAL 
􀈙lthough inflation has been with us for a long time, it seems 
from the present outcry that few people realise, or want to 
realise, that unless an effort is made by everyone we could 
find ourselves in 􀋃 situation where it becomes out of control, 
where every worker, whether a trade unionist or net, would 
suffer the consequences, 
lt is of course difficult to nnke the point to people who 
alre􀋄dy suffer bec􀋅use they barely get a living wage, 􀋆nd 
everyone I believe, 􀕊s .sick of a system which allows it. One 
of t􀕋e factors iq 􀕌his problem is that strong groups seek to 
maintain and improve their living standards at the expense of 
the lower paid weak gr􀕍ups, often without increased productivity, 
which only 􀋇ri,ds fultl to the flames of inflati􀕎n • 
frobably every country i􀕏 suffering the same difficulties in 
different degrees 􀋫 in the world as a whole there are more to 
feed and many who are imp;r-oving their stand􀋈r 􀈄s of living · whi􀋻h 
makes 􀋉dditional demands on the available food and consumer 
g􀈐ods, Inevitably prices rise and so the circle gets 
tighter aqd.i:Jg􀕐te􀕑 and more difficult to break, It may be 
impossible to .break it without radical reform, but with good 
sense it sh􀋭ld be possible to achieve some stability. It is 
only in a period of sta-bility, or comparative stability, 
that it w􀕒uld be possible to try and put ri􀊺ht all the 
anomalies that exist in the earnings of people, and to try 
and exterminate the parasites of society - the criminal fringe 
who want 􀊫􀊗􀉞thing for nothing - the workers who expect to 
be paid a full wecek 1 s money for less than a full week's work. 
It has been necessary in some countries, when the economy has 
collapsed, for workers to be paid with enormous quantities of 
paper money, but equally they had to use large quantities of 
notes to buy a loaf of bread or a few pounds of potatoes, 􀉼y 
God forbid that it should happen to us, 
A fair plan is needed to stabilise our economy but it needs 
the support of everyone to maka it succeed,

Mi.ny of the things that we have taken for granted for so 
long are now very often being questioned, Mi.ny young people 
·and the not so young call in question the value of an 
institutional church. They can't see the value of keeping 
up buildings when there are people in need, ·Nor do they 
find room for clrurch politics, be they local or national, 
and I can certainly sec their point. The amount of time 
th&t is wasted on shGer stupidities causes people to be

either, angry. or indifferimt. The latest bit of non-news to 
come from the Church of England is that the names of the 
Sundays preceding Lent are to be dropped. Now I am certain 
that that is not going to further the Kingdom of God which 
should be the sole aim of 􀋊ll Christians, It is so easy to 
6st lost in bricks and mortar, administration an:! organisation 
that we for6et what we are about.· 
􀈚nother thing that is being questioned is the proper use of 
Infant 􀈦aptiso. I am never qu􀈏t􀈘 sure why sot1e people ask 
for their 􀋼hild to be baptised if they have no co nnection 
with £he 􀈫hu,r􀋽h, as it oean's􀊼 t!'iat they are forced to make 
prooi'ses which they do not wholly believe. 􀉗 would very much 
like the church to devise a thanksgiving service for the birth 
of 4 child whi􀋾h could be used instead of baptiso, This 
wou􀊻d 6na.ble p􀋋rents who have no church connection to give 
thanks for the .birth of their cnild., to recognise the fact 
that. the child ,is a child of' God an'.3 to pray for the blessing 
of 􀉍od on their family. This wonld save people making 
promises which either they c􀋌n 1 t or'don 1 t want to keep • 
March 7th sees the start of 􀉬ent and. so there will be a 
cele􀋵ation of 􀉖ly Communion' 􀋍t. 8 p.m. and in preparation 
for 􀉳nt ·the 􀉂ton College Madrigal Society will be singing 
Evensohg on March 4th at 6,30 p,m. 􀈛nother musical treat 
that we will be having is' on 􀉽rch 11th at 􀈀 p.m. when there 
will be a concert in Church in aid 􀋦 the Eton Dorney 
􀊤oject and given by the New Thames Singers. The details of 
this programme· can be found elsewhere in the magazine and I 
hope that the concert will receive very great support as the 
standard of the music will be very high. 
Lent is also very useful as a tioe for study and so each 
Thursday evening from 8.15 p.m. - 9.15 p,m. at the Vicarage 
we will be looking at the whole idea of meditation, a thought 
form that has and is used by 􀋎ll the major religions and 
philosophies. The evenings will •be led 􀋺 George Wood, 
'A couple of dates that l'. hope you will put in your diary - 
April 1st is 􀊉thering Sunday and there will be a special 
service at 10.30 a.m. Wednesday April 4th is the Annual

January was a month of -benign mediocrity, The first 13 days 
came under the influence of an anticyclone , which on the 
6th registered over 3b. 7'1 of mercury, one of the highest

dry and dull: a sμ;.ttering - of rain: on the 4th, 
and some sunshine on tl,e 5th. - It becane steadily c'older 
until thG• l4th, when the glass dropped steeply, with 
.2911 of rain on the 15th; but the following• day, on a 
rising glass , was sunny. 
Two IDor<'l pleasant days followea.,-· but then another drop in the 
. glass brought -inore ·rain on the 20th. The: 22nd was a perfect 
winter day when the sun, urrlimmed by mist, rose into a 
cloudless sky, from which it shone without a break for the 
rest of the day. It was - so g8od in fact, that the London 
Weather Centre found that :it was the sunniest January day 
for at least 40 years. -After that, back to the cl9ud and 
drizzle , with a fine day to closG the month on the . 3lst. 
With only 4 sunny days , it was pretty drab, and with only 
0 9111 ,of rain, it was al_so dry; • disappointingly so, for after 
a dry summer which 1-eft the reservoirs very low, we _ heed a wet 
winter- to fill them up again. From the 16th to ·the 22nd 
there .;:as_ f'.rcist- at night, but it was never severe , for the 
minil:mra f,or the month did not fall below -3CC , on the 19th. 
The last ten days were quite mild. 
Apart from the 1st, most of the fog missed us, so that with 
little sun, rain, or wind , there wasn' t much of anything ! 

NI.TORE NOTES 
i,t the time of writing this, even with the 􀊅d Fe􀋷 cold 
snap still very l!IU􀈮h in r.dnd, I cannot help but think what 
a mild winter we have had. 
The hawthorns of the hedgerow were showing new green right 
at the beginning of the month which is amazingly early. 
􀊝erhaps -what is more surprising is the way they have kept 
some of last year's leaves. Not every bush has kept its 1 
leaves, but a sufficient number to indicate that it is -not 
a flukey observation. 
The bees were obvicruszy pleased with the few hours of w􀋬 
sun on the l(th, for they made the. most of 􀈕t to carry out a cleansing flight. They have a quite remarkable capacity 
to store their waste products, but sc,on energe if the 
-weath􀇿 is kind to take short flights and to relieve 
themselves. 
• The 􀋖chene to fell and burn all infected elm trees. ·seeoo to 
have come to a stand still in a manner of speaking, as it 
is now thought tha􀕙 it cannot be controlled in this way. 
The hope no-w is th􀋚t it will naturally grind to a halt 
􀋯efore all the trees are killed. It is no-w being fe􀋙red 
that this mild winter could result in massive crutbreaks 
of the disease this coming summer, for.there has been 
little to kill or check the activities of the beetles that 
carry and spread the fungus that causes the trouble. 
􀉜 promis.ed to report on the progress of the mushrooms 
growing on a commercially produced mg of compost. '􀊯o 
date, 'the pickings 􀋧ount to 3 lbs. -which isn't wh􀋛t-you 
. could call an outstanding success, howver, 11 crops11 ssec 
to oe cocing along at 􀋗bout three -weekly int􀕚rvals 􀋘nd the 
next i'ew are on their way, so -we shall see ! ! !

vitally important. Firrling. time to stop and thinlc is as 
difficult for the young as for those who are older and so I 
run very glad that the Vicarage can provide both the time and 
the atmosphere. 
Coming up in the near future are. two weekems for London 
Church Youth Clubs as well as a holiday weekem for 8 
children from raddington who will be looked after by 
• Etonians. One conference that we are mounting at the moment 
is on how to survive the pressures of modern society and will 
•• be attended by girls from Heathfield1 boys and girls from 
a sixth form college 'in North London and boys fron Eton. It 
should be the first time that a Duddist nonlc has stayed in

su􀗾port the Dorney Easter Carnival. 
Although not; well attended we very much enjoyed our two msical treats during the month of Sung Evensong by Et0n College 
Madrigal Society and the concert by The.New Thames Singers. 
The standarq of the music on both occasions was very high. 
To all those of you who have been collecting Newspapers for Childrens Holidays at Dorney my I say a very big thank you 
for since wa started collecting paper with Eton on January 
25th, 1972, we have raised £159. 40. This really is a 
􀗿emendous effort. 
The A.G.M. of the 􀘀aroch:l.al Church Council will take place in the Vicarage on Wednesday April 4th. Coffee will be 
served from 8 - 8.30 p.m. after which the meeting will

beasts will be at pasture until about the end of October. 
This is the largest num.ber of beasts to be turned out that I 
can renenber am it has been made possible by the yield of 
grass being mproved by Cillllgro_ fertilizer am by good spr-ay 
control of thistJ.e and nettles. 
There will be no horneq cattle on the C o=on this year. With 
. any luck the Common .will be a brucellosis free area in 1974. 
During 1972 two beasts were· killed and two injured in traffic

D ORNEY f .T .A . SWIMMIN'.l I-COL HWJECT 
The F.T.A. ColllI:li.ttee , with the help of Charles Coish, have spent 
CJonsiderable time investigating the proposed swinning pool for for SCJh􀘇ol. Despite the generous offer mde by Mr, Freemantle 
the_ CJOrJJ'1:!.ttee felt it neCJessary to obtain quotes fron as bnny 
suppl:!.er s as possible. At the sar.ie time we hllve been CJonsidering 
nethods of raising the all :important money, 
As a result of these investigations we are now faCJed with two pro blens: - 1, Whllt type of pool ? ' - 
2, How do we raise the noney ? 
Whllt type of pool - From the r:iany quotes -btuin'aa :!.t is 􀘍bvious -that we-have to deCJide between semi-perma nent pools and permanent struCJtures, Naturally this a,.J.:;iQ:-. 1:1􀘎q.ns t!Ja,.t_ .t,he price range varies CJonsiderably fron around !800 to £41 000 + for 
uncovered pools. Heati ng and CJovering would be extra . - • 
ChoiCJe -of p􀘏ol depends upon what we can afford. related .to the 
type of CJonstruCJtion, A wrong CJhoiCJe now CJould result in the F,T.1' , being faCJed with the need to replace the pool or 
related parts in only a few years time and the need to raise further funds• 
How to raise the money - Grants are available to cover part of 
the CJosts_ but the_ najor portion will have to be raised through the CJor.mun ity ·and chiefly the parents. Dorney SCJhcol has 
sonething under 100 families represented and a simple sum 
shows how rruch will be needed from each, Ideally we would like 
to raise the money quickly - this would free future P,T 0A, 
coIJIJittess fron the need to continue to raise swimning pool 
funds in addition to fund raising to supp ort school activities as at i:-resent, 
Other points to consider are that voluntary helpers and qualified life savers or their equivalent will be required if 
the pool is to be open (with the Headooster 1 s pernis sion) 
during 11 out of school hours" and also for cleaning and 

testing and other functions. 
Parents will shortly .receive a .. letter setting out. one. method 
of raising funds and we ask all of you for your support. We 
would· ask that parents am any · other nembers • o'f the community 
who are interested please contact G_harles Goish or any 
cor.un.t'tee member. The success. of the:lr venture dia􀎼nds very 
largely .o n the suppo. rt . that is .g iven. 
l,nother session at Westcoign Pool has finished and -we should 
like to thank Peter Turner for his efforts. It is disappointing 
that we had difficulty in finding enough parents 
who were prepared to give up one afternoon to act as • 
eo-ordirul.tors, but we shoul.d like to thank ev.eryone, 
drivers1 helpers· am Feter Turner1 s bevy of y:oung ladies 
for . their help.

DORNEY WOMEN1S IN3TITUTE 
Quite a few nenbers were away on holiday for _the March 
• meeting, but we • were pleased to wlcocie another new ':1e1;1ber, 
Mrs. Harpur, and also Mrs. Charge who cane back as a visitor. 
The highly successful coffee morning last nonth raised over 
'£6, and Mrs. Roberts - was thanked by ths. President for 
holding it at her house. 
Mrso: Horner reported on the Produce Area Meeting. The 
cor:u::rl:ttee are writing to ask why this event is always held 
at .lilngley1. and SU[gesting that Taplow would be nore· con 
· venient. We have· been assured that the new Grenfell Group 
will be composed entirely of afternoon ll.I. 1 s, and not the 
threatened raixture of afternoon and evening ones. 
Mrs. Stanrui.rd. in- her talk _ "Clothes and You" dealt with 
choosing clothes to suit the individual, ra1111er than 
following current trends in fashion. The flattering effect 
• 

of certain basic shapes ssemed to be largely a matter of 
geometry and optical illusion, am as her diagrans showed, some vertical lines are more sliroing than others, depending 
on the s:,:aces in between. The right proportions are all:in
portant, and.can be used to minimise defects. 
She sugcested that making one I s own clothes· was the best way 
of achieving the ideal in style., colour and material. 
Dressmaking, however, is no longer the cheapest way out, when chain stores can cut their garments more econonically, 
so. she stressed the :inportance of choosing good patterns, 
naterial, threads and zips. A favourite pattern could then 
·be made up many tines in different natarials. 
, In competition, members seemed reluctant to reveal what their favourite kitchen gadgets ware. The winners were Mrs. 
Harrison and Mrs. Roberts. 
Next month the speaker will be Miss Crowther on "What the hand can tell"•

T.&IE WEATHER OF FED R/RY 
Anticylonic .weather prevailed during the first week of February, 
. which wus quiet and mainly dull, with fog on the 4th. A falling barometer brought rain on the 9th and 10th, but in the 
wake of the depression the 10th also .became clear and breezy, 
with beautiful clouds driven on a North-West wind. 
There was a short rise in the glass on the llth, then a very 
deep low pressure area brought our first really wintry weather of the year. The 12th was. wet and very windy, and then as it 
became coldflr 􀘂 there was a flurry of snow on the 13th, 
followed by an almost white morning on the 14th, with perhaps 
half an inch of snow. Scarcely blizzard conditions, but it 
did serve to remind us how fortunate we have been this winter, There was to be no more snow during the nonth, and a zooming 

high saw the end of the little there was, with a pleasant 
weekend over the 17th o.nd 18th, followd by a few quiet days. 
During this period and for the rest of the month, a high 
fessure area over the Day of Discay pushed just far enough 
into the south of the Country to keep away the unsettled 
weather which was passing to the north. The 24th, 26th and 
27th, wer6 beautiful sunny days. 
Ono􀎴 agaih it was a depressingly dry month for the Water 
Doa:tds, who =t be desperately concel'.ned at getting so 
litUe rain this winter, following such a dry sununer. The total for the month was ·only .81° 
1 f.ar from ;!-'ill-dyke 
cenditions: so·that February-and January between them have 
contributed less rain than an average month. 
The highest temperature was 12½°0 on the 20thJ -and the 
lowest -4oC on the 15th and again on the 17th. A pleasant 
enough month for February, and the early flowers am the 
bird song showed it was 􀎵11 ar:preciated. 
ISOBAR 
Ni,TURE NOTES 
This is the_ month of. arrivals and departures. The end of 
Mlrch saw the first influx of the closely related-am so 
similar Chiffcbaffs and Willow warblers. Nov- Api-il will see 
the rest of the insect feeding migrants stre,m:ing in .from 
warmer climes where they have passed our winter.: _There,is 
no point· in the Swallows I Mirtins and Swi:rtif raturiurit(Tiere 
until there· are p'.!.enty 6f. :l.!lS.ects. on the 􀎶 . .for. catching 
nearly your own weight in insects per day is no small task. 
The earlier arrivals -.the chiffchaff and 'Will􀎷􀎸 ·warble; do 
not take their food on the wing but search for
.it in the 
bark am other nooks and crannies of trees and bushes. The 
warmer weather has already enticed these insects out of 
hibernation.

EDITORIAL 
Talking recently to a friend on the subject of noise he 
lllll.de the point that many people, like himse􀃭f, are employed 
or engaged in soma activity tint produces noise and ho was 
of the opinion that noise should be accepted as a fact of 
life in the interest of_ progress. 
• • • • • 
Wl;lile ai:,r,reciating this point of view, it is understancablo 
that when certain sections of people are subjected to 
increased noise, as in the case of residents of Taplow where 
noise from aircraft has increased since the locution of the 
beacon _there, coomon int,irest ;;reduces concerted protests. 
Some noises or sounds are necessary to !'lost people as they 
mke thet1 aware of life and to a great extent are part of 
living and without such a background our existence would 
be lacking colour. 
What nost people. c'omplain about is the increase in noise 
level and although it.is from aircraft in this area it 
can be due ·to many causes. • Decause our Island is so widely 
popula-t.ed inevi.tably some people have to suffer more than 
others and nost of us cannot escape to quieter regions; 
so as things are we have to bear it. Dut is is a valid 
point unless .people protest ab􀃮ut such things it would be 
reasonable for Government to assume that it is acceptable, 
but unnecessary-noise oon never be acceptable to people 
who for one reason or another cannot take it. l'sople are 
made differently and an acceptable level to some would be 
beyond breaking-point for others. It should also be 
considered that the effect of exposure to noise is 
probably cumulative. 
High levels of noise are dar.nging to our environment and no 
opportunity should be missed to effectively rcrotest against 
it. Government lllUst do everything possible to encourage 
those who are in a position to do something about the 
reduction of noise.

• Origina]Jy it was proposed by the Ho1:1e Office that Dorney 
and Durnham South should form a ward with one shared 
rei;reaentative .on the new District Council. The . Parish 
Council v. ade strong representations that· Dorney should be a 
ward on its own with one counc illor. We .were surported by 
Eton R. D0 c., by all other l'arish Councils , by our M,l·. and 
others. I = very glad to say that we have succeeded in this 
battle and the election for our own District Councillor will 
take rlace on 7th June. 
In the new Derkshire sroll parishes have not come off so 
well. Horton, being of sinilar size to Dorney, has to share 
·a Counc illor with others. They did not have support for 
their case from the · large urlnn populations of Windsor 
and Maidenhead.

March was really quite ridiculous. It started rather 
. uncertainly, o.nd for a week most days had some slight 
rain: but- by the 8th the baro1:1eter reached an amzing 
high of over JC. 7" , and the next 16 days were English . 
s;:::ri.ng weather at its best: . .S JlililY by day, and cool with 
some frost c.t night. '.rhe temperature climbed steadily, 
until on the 23rd it registered 19oC. On the 21st, 
22nd and _2Jrd, t􀇇e sun shone uninterrupted all clay long; 
truly magnificent weather. 
On the 24th, the barometer dir-ped below 3011 for the first 
tinie in the month, and we had a little rain, _ and on the 
25th, some hail as we ll. That was the end of that rather 
truae poor spell; the bn.:rometer was above JO" again by the 
25th, and the ·month closed with more sunshine . 
On 14 days , the sun shon,e for more than half the day, and 
of course with all that sun, rainfall was very low again . ' a mere .5411 , which means that January, February and March

:W.TID.E NOTE'S 
This month's notes concern the cuckoo, which will be with 
us until August. Everybody is familiar with the call of 
the male which gives the bird its nar.ie, however the female 
has an entirely different water-bubbling chuckle and this 
is nowhere near so wll known. 
Having passed the winter in South Africa, the males are the 
first to return here arriving in April followd shortly by 
the hen birds. In appearance the cuckoo is not unlike a 
sparrow-hawk and no doubt this shape leads to its being 
mobbed by snail birds in the same nhy as they would a hawk. 
J;t may look hawk-like, but it is quite unlike it diet-wise, 
for it feeds mainly on insects. 
The tern 1 cu7koo 1, which is sometimes used these days to 
imp1y a parasite in the hot1e, is derived from the mbit of 
uJ.J. cuckoos of 1aying their eggs in the nests of other 
birds. Perhaps as mey as 20 eggs are laid in a season. 
Each hen confines her attentions to one area, keeping a 
watch on the fosterer1 s nest building, so that she can lay 
her egg on the sane day as that of the fosterer. The poor 
pipit's, robin's or wagtail 1 s egg being removeci and eaten. 
There is often an uncanny resemblance between the colour 
and markings of the parasite1s egg and that of the host, 
and this may explain the preference for one kind of 
foster parent. 
Even the incubation of • the egg (12½ days) is designed for 
success, for the cuckoo 1 s takes nearly a day less than the 
host 1 s egg to hatch. Having hatched it carefully 
manoeuvres any other eggs or chicks over the edge of. the 
nest. Perhaps this is just as well for the poor foster 
parents have more than a little difficulty in coping with 
the one voracious appetite as it is. Normally, small 
birds leave the nest at 12 or 13 days but the cuckoo takes 
nearly twice as long - 23 days.

12.45 p.m. 
Wisley, 
April began with a depression, and half an inch or' rain over 
the first two days • . The enn was particul arly horrid, for it 
ws very windy as well. A rather mixed week followed, with a 
little rain on most days, but also with some sunshine. It 
becane quite cool , and there was hail on tlia 8th. 
Frot1 the 11th. to the 19th the weather ws dullish but not 
unpleasant, but the Easter weekend was vile, with over an inch 
of rain to damp the Dorney Carnival. After that of course, 
such is the perversity of chance, we had several fine days ; 
• ·the 25th, 26th and 27th, being bright and sunny. The month 
closed as it began, with a depression and more rain. 
Although it was unfortunate that the Easter weekend was so 
wet , April with a total rainfall of 2,511 was really very 
welcome, for it was slightly wetter than usual, the first 
time a month has exceed ed its normal quota for a long time, 
The maximum temperature wa s 18°C on the 26th and 28th, There 
were no severe frosts, the tlinimura being -10G on the loth,

I have given such a licence to tho Angling Society to park 
their vehicles anywhere on the Common in Doveney between 
the Lodge gates of Doveney Court and the entrance of the footpath to Doveney Chapel. In exchange they pay the CoJJI:1on 
Fund a snail fee and have agreed , as my agents , to control 
parking in the area concerned and to keep it free of litter . 
This perfectly proper control of parking is of considerable 
benefit to residents in Deveney and to the Commo ner s besides 
helping the Angling Society members and their permit holders. 
It is mo st unhelpi'ul to deface the "No Parking" notices . 
Im yone can apμly for a parking permit to the Secretary of 
the Angling Society, Mr. R. D. Henwood , of 14 Cumbria Close, 
Maidenhead, Derks SU, ,3DD 1 who may issue one at his discr􀎀tion.

When visiting Doveney during early May I was horrified to see 
'that all the "No Parking without Perl:lit11 signs erected by 
the Maidenhead Angling Society & District Association had 
been defaced with white paint. Perhaps I should explain 
the position. 
The law says that it is an offence under Sac. 18 (1) of 
the Hoad Traffic Act 1960 to drive or park a motor vehicle 
on common land without lawful authority. Altho ugh it is not 
an offence under this Sec tion to park within 15 yards of the road , it is a tres svi,􀎁s for which redress can be obtained , vide Sec. 18 l4J of the Act. 
In this case lawful authority 1:1eans a licence given by me and approved by the Co=oners at the Annual CoIDI:lo n Meeting.

Dy the time this issue is read, the Carnival at Easter will

just enough to give £50 each to both the Etor/Dorney C!rurch 
Project and the World Wild Life Fund who in turn are 
allocating it to this year's special Save the Tiger Cat1paign. 
Decause of the appal.ling weather they, like us, were 
delighted to get anything. We are very grateful to all 
those who helped - especially Chris Rigden who organised 
all the funfair, steru:i engines and organs and brought his 
flair and knowledge of something we thought had gone before 
the war to life again this spring. and to those who 
planned and organised their own stalls; and to those who

.July 1st is ths day set aside for the Vicarage happening and 
I do ho)?e thut it receives as much support as it did last 
year and that we are blessed with such good weather. I 
could think of nothing nicer than a Sun9ay afternoon spent 
in a Vicarage garden, no􀔿 could I think of any.thing more 
respectable. The afternoon will start at 2.30 p.r.i. and 
'Will last until 4 p.m. and the ingredients will be very 
nuch the sane as last year with stalls, llDlSic and ga.I!les. 
Although it is hot pi-:i=.rily a fund raising exercise the 
money that is raised will go towards the cost of the 
redecoration of the Clrurch and children 's holidays at the 
Vicarage. 
May I say another thank you for a most .generous donation 
of £200 towards the cost of the restoring of the C!rurch. 
It really was nost kind and is of great help as the cost 
for the work that had to be done ws more than originally 
thought. 
With every good wish, 
Y ours ever;

a matter is being discussed at a meeting. Is is much 
easier and far less dar.ianding to arrive at a meeting with 
ycur own preconceived ideas and· stick to them through thick 
and thin rather than listening to what the other r,erson 
has to say and finding out what is of value in their 
ar1:;ument0 Ths other problem about meetings is that some 
people are unable to mke their voice heard, not because 
they have a weak one, but because they have not learnt the 
skills or have the audacity to ksep putting forward their 
point of view until sot10one does hear thet10 Sona voices 
that are often very quiet could often be heard with great 
benefit to uJ.J.. The last problem about meetings is what 
is not said while all are gathered together but what is 
said with great feeling and often vehemence after the 
meeting is over. No one benefits from this as once the 
meeting is over and decisions have been made that decision 
can only be altered by another meeting and at.least should 
be given a chance to work. 
Easter ooy s&em a long time ago but at least it says in my 
mind as a very happy if somewhat wet memory. The Church 
looked very beautif'ul as a building and was very carefully 
decorated but what was most thrilling was the mmber of 
people _who cane to worship. • Despite the fact that our 
whole Christian faith is based on the Resurrection of 
Christ the festival in many places has taken second place to 
Christmas but I was pleased that in Dorney that was not the 
case. I was also very pleased,"despite the weather, with 
the way that the.Carnival went. It really was wll supported 
both by the parish and outside and Peregrine and lloger Palmer 
deserve our thanks for all the work that they put into it. 
I must say that tliere are a few perks to being a parson. 
Not everyone gets the chance of a ride on a roundabout with 
Miss Eva von Reuber Staier but if you do get the chance then 
take it. • • 
I sso from a recent report that it is being proposed that 
the calling of banns in Church should be abolished. This I 
think is a very sensible move. Often in a large parish 
people have little or no knolil.edge of who the people are and 
so the object of them is defeated.

. At the time of -writin,ls, the Slough Arts F6s􀔻:i,val is.drawing 
• to a close. CoV&]'.'age in,. the National .tress has been 
negligible, eclipsed no doubt by the sitnlltaneous advent 
of the Cannes Film Feetiw.J.. Nevertheless rightfu!-' • 
recognition has been accorded in our. .loool. papers and I 
eXpect many of you are ,fa.miliar with this year1 s clq.1Hies 
and, resu.l ts. 
The Slough Festival is o.n annual opportunity for competitive 
performance in ali forms·of art. World-wide entry at varying 
levels. and ages is s,ncouraged, covering Brass Bands" J!'olk, 
Fine Arts and Handicraft, l!-hsic, Dram, Gymnastics, l'op, 
l'hots,graphy, Speech and Creative Writing. 
As a mere (and envious) observer for the' past few weeks, I 
haye derived much pleasure and sooe amseoimt f'ro1Il other 
people's efforts. There has been the occasional entrant 
whose courage exceeded his talent, but at least he wns 
ooking a- contribution. • I was generally impressed with the 
high standard o.nd jf,. for instance, I could play the piano 
as sooo· of thoseyoU?I[ competitors who were not ouch taller 
than the he􀔼ht of ,the keyboard, I should be well ploased. 
I thought it a. pity that there was not mre public support 
at many-of the sessions.· Artists require en· couragenent mrl 
organisers require encourager.tent and funds; a good audience 
will provide both. 
•. This Festival is o.n incentive.to children and 1°utig people 
to develop their natura.l abilities and to fire then and _the 
adult contestants with an enthusiast! to srr·ead the enjoynent 
of cultural interests to others; • •

Jn those. odd Domeit& when one tstap&- baok1 to- take a-- look 
. a􀕢 oneself and other. people it becooes painfully gl)rious how 
im.ah'we are irif'iuen􀕣ed by various media perhli'pii:not least 
by newspapers. For some reason, wich f do not coopletely 
uhde:rstand, mos-ti people enjoy listening to or reading 
sotl!J.thing which,,appea.J;s .to the- baser aide of human nature. 
Whether tlie des􀕤e Ms been stinulated by _Dedio. or ·if the 
ll8d.ia is oerely ta.king the easy .ny to popularity I do not 
knqw; but ;J::-beli􀕥 that it would be rewarding for the 
nicer sides of· our natures to be =tured for a change. 
There is (¼S wch·'that :1s beautiful about people and living, 
as there_:-is. that is ugly. The fact that there are rony 
tl11ngs "in" JJfe,._.:thaj; (l(l'e, ugly or even bestial, does not mean 
that we .. have' te dwell on theD. We should not pretend that 
they are-not < ther,ol but ooybe if we tried toimprove-·our 
standards' and ·vnluE>s, perhaps the ugly things would _becooe 
less. Lao comrinoed that discipline - self' discipline is 
.. _yer;)'.:j;/J.liln 'headed to raise. our sights to a higher level of 
moral va,lues. This refers not particularly to sexual 
behavioi;ir but to our conduct and behaviour in general, at 
home or outside. 'We a.re, so fnr as '!le know,. too· highest 
fo):.-t!" of anitnal. life, that is generally speaking, llecauso 
individually sooe cannot be said to fit that description, 
but •there is a real fear that our leyel of culture could 
faJ.11 even though techniques for m􀕦ial progt!GSS il;lprove. 
Culture is ,of the spirit ra ther than of the nesh- .am, as 
-was said by· sooeone else in a different -way - what is the 
point of having the .benefits of this technicolo,gical age 
if culturally we. are only prepared for the Dark Ages.

I 􀀉s very. interested to see in the Times report: of the 
•. G art.er Service a.t Windsor that_ 'The annual· c!mreh ·p!rade 
• survives as a p:i.ace of picwre􀊊 tradition, exta-e􀊋 
. valuable ·to-Windsor and the t0111'.ist trade. 1 • I had never 
'·be:fore r8'!1l:ised tlie,t tl)ill w the pirpose far the worship 
of ,God. •• Fomp :and tra.di'!;ion ll.l"&•both ''Vital ·elemen..ts in the 
life of this. cou.ntt-y an:l are a:lw.ys carrisd out with 
meticaloua care. Dut each part of the tradition must 
have it.. woper meaning and be seen to have its proper 
meaning. And so worship should not be seen even by a 

Times reporter to be just boosting the Tourist trade or 
bringing money to Windsor. 
One of the most enc=aging things to happen at the Vicarage 
since the concept of the Project happened las-1. weekend. 
Earlier in the year Colin Roberts told me that the Young 
Conservatives wre having a care campi.ign in Durnham and 
asked me what I thought they could do •. I suggested that they 
gnve a weekends holiday at the Vicarage to some children from 
Slough. This they agreed · to do. . They raised the money by a 
sponsored pram pushing race, Colin am I worked out a 
programme, Durnham Council of Social Service lent us a mini 
bus and we were given the names of the children by Slough 
Social Services Department. The helpers for the weekend 
wre other young Conservatives from Durnham0 The weekend 
itself was a tremendous success and included a boat trip, 
a visit to Whipsnade and the Hell􀕫ire Caves at West Wycombe 
and I was very thrilled that local people wre pre1-ared to 
take this sort of troul:u.e. And not only did they raise 
enough money to pay for the wekend, they also gave the 
project a.most generous donation which will help pey for 
other children's outings in the ·Swiuner. 
A group who work hard for the pi.rish and often get little 
praise is the Cho.ir. The improvement in both the singing 
and the behaviour of our Cho.ir has been tremendous. They 
very much help.our worship especially at the Family Communion 
when they sing during. the actual communion and for this w 
should b<l grate!ul. I personally am very grate!ul to John 
Dishop for the tremendous amount of 'lfork that he puts in 
and for the assistance that he gets from Michael 􀕬Harg. 
:tt," only w:orry with the choir at tha moment is the way that 
w dress them. Some of the cassocks and surplices that 
they have to war are not fit · to be used as dusters. 
May-be some of· you don't know that the Project received a 
very generous donation of £50 from the Dorney Easter 
Carnival. This swn is also being put to childrens' 
holidays and with the cost of 'outings being 'What they are it 
li!lS a very wlcome gift. • • 
Some people have asked that births, maITiages and deaths 

.------------------- ----- --------------------- 
can return to the Parish News. I would be only too pleased 
for this to happ:m as long as someone will do it. I will 
give them any access they need. to the registers. The only 
difficulty that this involves is being able to read my 
writing. 
Thanks to soma hard work by Roderick Iebon and a good 
number of Eton boys a very smart r:aper shelter has been 
built so that we can now house the nawsr:apers with no 
tt-ouble at all. Also work is very nearly finished on the 
barn. Once it is finished it really will be a great help 
as it 'Will take pressure off the conference room and the 
house as a whole.

The meeting .was held on June 13th in perfect summer 
weather. A mmiber of apologies were read from members away 
on holiday, and money was collected for 1974 diaries and 
calendars,. . 
The Senior Citizens ' Party was so successful last year that 
it \o/8.B decided to hold another one on Thursday, JuJ.r. 5th. 
All the senior citizens of Dorney are to be invit ed, as 
well as. a coach fo ad of' Visitors from Aylesbury. After 
las t ye ar's contr-etamps , special. arrangements a.re being made 
for the coach to drive right up to the village ha.lJ.0 
The Group Tea Party .at Taplow was discussed, as well as the 
outing to Syon Hous e, which had been very much enjoyed by 
all who went. We were pl'ivileged to see over the house in 
comfort, and then had a wonderful afternoon for picnicking 
. and 'IJ8)king T'ound the gardens . Even the cafeteria, so of'ten 
a source of' gloom and disappointment, Jjt•ovided ideal 
ref':resliments and tal:u.es outside with a view of the lake . 
Mrs. Finch and her cast -were congratulated on their play, 
performed at the last meeting. Mrs. Jones gave a 1'ull and 
inter esting report on the D.F.w.I. Council Meeting which she 
had. attended . 
A menu was drawn up f'or the Parish Tea Party on July 1st, 
and names -were taken of all those who would make cakes and 
scones, and help with the teas. 
Mrs. Haye s gave us a most informative talk on making soft 
toys , full of usef'ul hints on what materials to choose , how 
to alter the size of' a pattern, what stitches to use, how 
to JnCk in the stuf'f'ing and mke the animals stand up, and 
how to give them a professional finish. She rassed roun'I 
some charming examples of her own work. Rag dolls have been 
found in grave s from Roman Dritain, so this is a craft wh ich 
.has given pleasure to small children for IIRily centurie s. 

The rose competition -wa.s won by l) Mrs. Ioughnan; 2) Miss 
Kili;atrick and Miss Strugnell; 3) Mrs. · Chase. 
At the meeting on July llth, there will be a speaker on

THE: WEATHER OF M\Y 
M9.y was a varied menth. Low pressure prevailed for the 
first week, and although the 2nd of M:ty was sunny, the next 
fivio days each produced rainfall between .2" and .25"; a 
remarkably consistent record. 
From the 8th to the 16th an anticyclone persisted, with 
pleasant -weather and a lot of sunshine on the 10th, llth and 
16th, but with some rain on the 10th and 14th • 
The following week vias mainly disturbed, with low pressure, 
and some rain and sun on most days; the 23rd and 24th 
producing over f' between them. The 25th, 26th and 27th were 
sunny, under the influence of high pressure, but a falling 
barometer brough.rain on the 28th, accompanied by a roll of 
thunder in the morning. The month closed with small 
depressions passing close to southern E ngland, and with rain 
on the last three days. 
The temperature chart shows a steady rise from cool conditio!lS 
at the sta rt of the month, cmpminating in 2􀕭 on the 26th, 
which is viarm by a.by standards. Lowest temperature was 2°0 
on the 2nd and 7th, so there were no air frosts. 
Rainfall at 2.9111 vias above average, happily for the second 
month running, and a feature vias the consistency, there being 
no less than nine days with the rainfall between 0 2° and 0 3n. 
Good for the gardens, am no doubt a relief for the waterboards: 
but it needs more than two slightly wetter than average months 
to redress the bslanoe, and continued care in the use of viater 
will be needed for a lo ng time. 
ISOilAR 
NATURE NOTES 
A swarm of bees in M9.y is worth a load of my, 
A sviarm of bees in June is worth a silver spoon, 
A swarm of bees in July isn't worth a fly. 
or so says the old 1'hyme 

At least two "silver spoons" wre :t'lying round in the 
middle oi' the month. Ona passed over head at the Pr.imary 
School sports afternoon and another was reported close by, 
two days later. I don't think either were taken, so no 
doubt􀕧 there a.re now two new 8 wild11 bee nests in the area. 
The urge which results in'swarming is still not fully 
understood although much is known about it. A colony slowly 
builds up its numbers of worker bees through the monthe 
before May and then, with the warmer weather, the queen 
really gets going and may lay as many as 2,000 or more eggs 
in a day. The colon;,• size may reach the almost astronomic 
figure of 801 000 or mcra bees and show no signs of swarming 
that year at all 1 whils􀕨 the naxt colony, perhaps with fewr 
bees, goes into the swarming procedure. 
Normally, grubs that are destined to be worker (sterile 
female)bees are fed on a highly nutritious food, called 
Royal Jelly, for three days and then on a bulky poorer 
quality food (bee bread) made of pollen and honey. A 
queen starts as the same tn;e of grub,. lJUt gets a surfeit 
of royal jelly throughout her development with the result 
that she grows faster and bigger than a normal worker. 
When the right s:l.gnal for swarming proced\U'e is receiv􀕩, a 
number of grubs (on average about a dozen} get this roya.i. 
treatment in special shaped cells produoeci. for the job. 
Ten days after such a grub has started on its royal 􀕪 
and is undergoing the wonder!ul change (metamorphosis) 
from grub to adult, the old queen leaves the hive 
accompmied by all the bees that are used to flying. This 
is the swarm. 
I will have more to say on this next month.

The recent election.for the remaining two seats -on the Parish Council created . . . 􀪡 fever of apathy .within..the Par-ish. . 
The twenty percent f;oll mear,is that eighty percent have I!lst interest 1n w)lom should •be their reμ:-esentativeii"'in 
immedia􀪢 local affairs and decisions. Of course eighty· 
percent mi.y have lmown nothing o:r the event or alternatively 
thought i,t didn't matter. The poll was certainly not. overpiblicised 
and perhaps, some :felt that without the isS110 of 
mnii'es;to.es a fhoice: fJf can:Udate was purely arbitrary. 
.. ... Nevertheless whether we profess interest in the Parish · · Council oi- not'wll sll.l ralydedicated band oi'·men 1 °and expect this slllllll aaj_ __ .. and women to pro-lest our interests and act as guardiaO? oi' our' en'{ironment0 The:lr contirmal

after a loqg struggle, is the new tra:ffic island at the 
D ath Roaa/Marsh Lane junction. This has been the scene 
of many tragedies .over .the years and we all hope that this

First'of all a-very big thank you for 􀔽􀞆􀪮s􀗺:􀪯 hEt􀝾P3(f 
with the Vicarage Garden P􀕧t􀔗 on July 1st •. -􀀊& ag􀔺in 1ihe 
weather 􀔝S on our s􀜻e a􀟰 I·can think of no'thing 􀖣tter 
than to sp;i􀟱 .a 􀪰ay afternoon in a. v􀜂arage ga rden 
spe􀟩􀜤g money am listening to the str􀔻ins -of a f􀜵st 
c􀞂ss jazz 􀖟 1 Altogether we 􀞼e just ov&:r £60 which will 􀖤 divided between .the c􀞝ch and the ch􀜎dren's 
holidays in the 􀔎icar􀔼ge. 
On August 1st a new assistant will be join􀜫 me at the 
Vicarage. His 􀟺 is Stephan Williams. He has 􀜾ust 

finished at King 1 s Co􀜔age, London and is taking a year off 
before going on to theological co􀝚lege. He will be a 
.t:iiemendous help to me as he will be a􀖭e to help me with 
􀖱th planning in the house and wor􀝃 in the parish. I hope 
people in the parish will make him w􀝘co􀞨e •. 
At long l􀔾st the work on the 􀖠n is finished . Thanks to 
some grea t effort by some Eton􀜁s azil Feter Donvoisin the 
􀖡n -was ready to be used as a lecture room on July 9th. 
Already it has proved its worth as it has· taken tremezilous strain off the rest of the house. We also have a very smart 
parking area which again was 􀞻d e by volu􀟚tary 􀞃􀖵r. They 
had to break lots of 􀖶icks am stones so as to give the 
space sound foundations. As they worked away with their 
sled ge hammers the vicarage resem􀖮ed one of Her Ma􀜿esty's 
homes for wayward people Tather than the fun-packed place it 
usually is l Azil so I would. be v􀔿ry grateful if people 
coming to thEl vicarage qould park the􀜶 ea rs carefully as 
frequently the .drive is full of cars and I d on't rea􀞘 want to 
lose 􀕹y mor􀗻 of the front 􀝙􀕀;w􀟙 1 
Thank you v􀕁ry 􀞒ch for the way in. which thTur PJ.P31' has 
. . continued to pile in. ThEl new shelter was absolutely pac􀝆 d at· the e􀞩 of l􀖐t week. Dut I would 􀖥 very grateful if 
people would tie their papers ;together or put them in a 
box as the men from the ·p􀕃per niills have said that they will not .be able to i4ke any 􀞪ore papers unless they 􀖆e in 
􀗅dl􀗼s of some sort or the ot􀪱er. 
As yet there has been no sign of aeyone returning the Cross 
am candlesticks which ·were stolen from the church. I loathe 
the idea of the church beiμg locked all d ay but it 􀜺 terrible 
when people instead of using the church as a place of quiet 
and beauty remove furnishing which although not ess􀗽nti􀕭 are 
aids to peoples worship. If no further news is heard soon 
we will have to ruy soma new ones. 
I hope that as many of 􀪲u as possible will keep the evening of Saturday September 29th free, for at the very exce􀞈ent 
suggestion of ·the Horticultural Society we are to h􀕂ve a 
Parish Harvest Supper in the V􀜏lage Ha􀝛􀝜. This should be a 
great parish event and I hope will be ver{ well supr:orted. 

A week ago I happened to pop into Church late one Sunday 
afternoon and heard talking in the Garrard Chapel. When I 
wnt to. discover who it was I found that it was Eno.eh Powell 
am his wi£e 􀝝oo􀞅n􀔬.at the hera􀝠dry on the Garra rd Tomb. 
It is very o􀖘vious that awn top controversiaJ. p:,liticians 
have reaJised that 􀜆 they :want to get any\lhere they must 
show some 􀔤interest in Dorney- J . 
With every good wish, ' '.

NA.TURE NOTF.S 
'.i ' Last month, we left the 'story 6f the· swarm of bees as it 
􀫅 i􀫆sue:l,ng from the hiva, now. to contirme. The. beeii, 
all heavi:cy lade,n witb. <honey, soon comes to. res-t(on the 
_branch _of a tree. The cluster rapidly-:gets bigger am is 
soon complete an:l. with this, the loud humming ·noise disar-Rears. 
Scouts now depart :to 1.'ind a new place for a 'home 
a!Jd hav_ing fo11!ld one, return with their -news ,to the s\larm. 
The pees · ta.ka to the air again and ;w:1. th011t much loss of time, 
fly off in a mass to their new quarters. • •

a'Wll.y from the light. One colony built its oombs behind 
a Virginia Creeper against a wall. It·dici not·sUJ!T.ive the 
wir/,ter, for with the coming of Autumn, the creeper dropped 
its"leaves am the nest was exposed to the full force of the 
-weather., .

the number: of colonies- 1s increased to make up far the 
disasters that befall, them from time to titne􀫇 -· 
Dack in the old hive, a young queen emerges and sets 
about kμ.ling off as maey of the other unbatched queens 
as she can find by opening up their special cells, an'l. 
stinging their contents. Sometimes, when two young queens 
are present at the same time, excitement may reach such a 
pitch that a cast or secorn swarm leaves the hive with one

honey. 

The actual cause of &'Warming has much to do with the 
eoncentration in the workers' bodies of a special 
chemioa.l produeed by the queen. When · two workers meet in 
the hive they will often regurgitate some of their • 
stomach eontents !or the· other bee to lap up. What you 
have in your stomach doesl',l.1t really belong to you but 
to the oommunity 1 ! In this way the special queen 
. substance, which :i.s l:i.clmd from tf.e queen I s body by the 
grooming atte!ldants, ill soon passed to all· members on the

·normally to hold queen-rea .ring activities in check. 
Remove the queen am within a matter of two or tln-ee huura, 
the hive has become geared to F4"oducing a new quean, for 
the queen substance is no longer as concentrated as it 
should be, So perhaμi an a:11:lng queen or an oversized 
colony results in the message being received and a swarm 
results. 
Recent work has shown that the older- workers ( that forage 
for food), a re apparently not affected by the lack of 
queen subs􀫈nce - am yet it is they that get excited am 
leave with the s􀫉. 
An arter thought - the honey bee ill now being used as a 
stama rd by which to judge the level of pollution.

DOR NE:Y WOON1 S IIBTIT􀔉 
. Wednesday, llth Ju ly was· a hwnid and rather dull day, but in 
the Village ·H a􀝪l it was cool and co􀝥ourful when members of 
the Dorney w.r. 􀞱et· to be given a 􀗣emonstration of􀔦 Suppers 
􀕒nd Duffet Me􀕐ls by Mrs,; Adsett, a ch􀕕r􀟄 young protege of 
of Mi-s. Smith of County F􀖉m. • '• • 
Mrs. Adsett showed- 'tlil how we could eas􀜛 provide savoury , 
salad and sweet dishes with the minimum of preparation and 
cooking and when her suc􀗗ulent arrl mouthwatering dishes were 
later raff􀝨ed, some luc􀝌 w.r. members -went home wit h Spiced 
Da􀝇􀗤 Chicken Joints, Savoury Ri􀗕e Salad , Orange am Parsley 
S􀕑lad , Apri􀗖ot Surprise , Dutterscotoh and Da􀟻 Flan 􀕺d 
Rhubarb and Ginger Cloud - all a􀫃olute􀞣 delicious Supper or 
Duff et dishes which can be adapted or modified to su it one I s 
own particular tastes. 
After such a fasci􀟸ting demonstration by Mrs. Adsett, it 
was not e􀕏sy to get down to business, but our Presid ent, 
Mrs. Williamson, in her usual charm ing 􀕓nd efficient way 
soon .called the meeting to order and thanked all members 
for the help they had given 􀖳th at the Vicarage Tea party 
on 1st July and at the Vi􀝦 lage Hall on the 5th July .entertaining 
a party o:t' Senior Citizens from Ayles􀗇y am our 
own local elderly friends. 
An invitation had been recei ved from lady Durnham, President 
of the Ducks. Federation of Women 's Institutes, to visit 
Hall Darn, Deaconsfield , so on Wednesday , 17th July, 15 
􀞲embers from Dorney wi􀝫􀝬 have the o:,.;portunity of looking 
round lady Durnham I s hous e a!rl garden. 
Mrs. Stone, of Taplow w. r. , who_ was our link delegate for 
the Albert H􀕰l meeting, gave her report on the 52nd Aruma.1 
General Meeting of the Natio􀟶l Federation he􀝧d in ·the Al􀖫t 
Hall in June. We were very sur prised to hear that the 
Resolution put forward by the National Federation Exe􀗚tive 
Co􀟇itte e· to raise ·our 􀖁 subscr iption had been defeated. 
• This was pro􀖝bly due to the te􀟷city and bravery of one 
very young w. r. member who told the Nat. Execut ive Committee that they should 􀟣cut their coat according to their cloth• 
􀕿 not keep asking members for more am more money ! 

Mrs. Stone said how much she had enjoyed going 'to the Albert .Hall and meeting w. I. members frOl!l all over t􀪺 country, 
bit one disappoint.ment wns that no longer could a delegate 
report on that' most im􀪻ssive sight of an Albert Hall 
meeti ng - thousands of ,gorgeous and colourfUl Hats ! The 
most colourful tradition af the Albert Hall meeting was now 
only a memory - but lllll.IlY of we older W.I. members will, I 
am sure,· say "t.honlra for the memory!. . . . 
Our Treasurer, 􀪼s. Huddart, reminled us that the W.I1 s only 
income was 50,, of the annual subscription {25p per member) 
am as w were actually existing on our capital, it would 
be necessary to have a Fun:l ra:l,sing effort in the near future. 
Members agreed that the AnnuaJ. subscription to the Dorney 
Parish News should be ?lido 
Mrs. C o;ping am Mrs. Rayner had recently been to Denman 
C ollege in a 5 day !'C ountry Housewives"C ourse. This 
included talks .. on Metrication, flower arranging, cookery, 
• discussions etc., ·aoo Mrs. Rayner, in tbanJdng the w.r. 
for tbe bursaries umer which she ar:rl Mrs. C opping had 
been to the C ollege,. gave us an interesting 􀪽r:rl amusing 
account_ of their stay there. 
The winners of the competition - a salad on a plate - were 
1st Mrs. Roberts, 2n::l Mrs. C hase and 3rd Mrs. Jones.

THE WEATHER CF JUNE. 
June was a 'tru:ly splendid mo􀟛th, for not only -was it fine 
and warm for most of" the time, 􀖿t two re􀕳 wet days 
produced rainf􀕠􀝟 􀕦bqve a􀪳a&e, and kept thing&. gr􀗧. 
Awleetkh owaugsh . - there was a little rain on the ls􀪴,. the first pre􀗠ominantly w􀖎 and dry. The 8th heralded a 
few les·s sunny d􀖕, 􀗀t fiom the 14th to the 17th it :was 
sunny and very warm; 1-eaehing 29CC on the 16th, which was 
perhaps hot rather than -warm. · 
Quite a: modest drop in the: barometer, to only 􀝀ust be􀝞ow 
JO" then proqu!)ed 􀕄n pu.t;3tamingly wet period􀪵 when over 
the 19th and 2oth 2 inches of rain fell, with a rumble of 
thunder on the evening of􀪶 19th. 
The 22􀞬1 23rd and 24th, were again warm and sun􀪷, 􀗁t 
the 􀖜rometer· was falling, and on the 27th a sti􀞋 
relatively- high figure 29.95, produced another .6111 or 
rain, 􀞯ost of which 􀪸e􀞉 in a half hour thu:meratorm 
around 7 p.m. There -was some residu􀕮 rain the following 
day, 􀗂t the month (llosed fine atrl warm.

settled wa:l:Jler wi.th a high 􀖢ometer, and re􀞿􀝅ble for 
the heaviness of the rainf􀕅ll during tw quite minor 
depr13ssions. So often when rain is nee􀗟ed, quite deep 
depressions seem to produce no more than cloud, and perhaps a little drizzle. The 􀟁 te􀞮perature -was that turgid 
2900, and the minimum, 6°0 on the 14th, which is not far 
removed from ground fiost.

ISSUE NO. 9 SEPTEMJER, 1973. 
EDITORIAL 
The woo.t􀃐r has alwaya been a topic of oonversation for the 
people of this island,. perhaps more often for its inolemency, 
rather than far its clemency, as at the present time, or for 
the summer as a whole for that matter. The intrigueing part 
though is perhaps how much the weather may influenoe our 
thinking and even perhaps our decisions. 
Apart from the good weather this Summer the other topics 
whioh affeot us all have net been such tn cause rejoicing􀃑 
On the contrary when one thinks of the awful inorease in the 
cost of' living, the. high oost of borrowing money for housing, 
and everything else - the industrial Wll'est - the national 
economic situation - the plight of the old and poor and the 
uncertainty of our living standards in the future, these are 
more than enough to cause widespread gloom. In fact, despite 
all the cause for gloom, it has been noticeable how much more 
cheerful and friendly people have been, am why ? because the 
sun ma e!lo:ae: am shone and shone. So even though we may not 
be sun-worshippers it plays a big part in our lives, casting 
its light am warmth for us all to enjoy. Those who may 
disagree might try to imagine how mch worse everything would 
have seemed this year if we had had a dull wt spring and 
summer. Dut we have not and although our problems still 
remain, the sunshine has boosted our morale so that we can 
face the difficulties with a suruv countenance.

Dritish law is always held in high honour throughout the 
world but there are times when it appears to be an ass. I 
really can't believe that -we are making great strides 
forward when -we imprison foreign visitors who are 
convicted of shop lifting. I freely admit that people 
committing this crime are a great mrl.sance especially as 
they alw.ys seem to have a tremendous amount of money in 
their pocket and the value of goods that they steal is 
often very small. Dut a great munber of shops put 
temptation in peoples way often creating for them needs 
that they had no idea they had0 How soma of the poorer members of our society manage to maka their money go

rouni with food prices being what they are I have no idea. Am yet as soon as they go shopping they see everything 
displayed looking incredibly tempting and yet they know 
that they can 1 t have it. Often in supermarkets when you 
get to the pay out you fini a display of sweets with the 
result that often the young child pesters his or her mother for something to eat while they wait. This adds yet another 
demani on the already family pirse and so I am not surprised 
although can in no l6Y co?rlone that shop lifting takes place as so much is done to break down a persons resistance 
and they are often forced to have. :Jut to collllllit people 
to prison for this o:ffence still leaves. great question 
marks in my mini. Our prisons are out of date and overcro\il
ed which can be more prone to degrade rather than 
re:rorm. Our prison o:f:fice:rs. are understa:r:red am so working under great press􀡗. Shop lii'ting has got to 
stop but I cert.a:lnJy don't believe that we are going about it in the right wy. 
There has had to be a change of date :for the Parish Ha .. mat 
Supper. It has been brought :forward one day to Friday 
September 28th. I hope tb;i.t this will not inconvenience 
anyone and that you will still hi able to keep the date free. 
The summer session at the Vicarage seems to be going wll. The helpers so :ra:i have been /J. Christian group from Oxi'ord 
and· undergraduates from Lincoln College, Oxi'ord. They have 
all worked extremef hard and given the children a very 
good time but they have been faced with the quef't,ion of 
what makes a deprived child. Most o:r the children have not 
been :fimncially deprived as they have. been very nicely dressed, had amp1e pocket money and many extras. Dut todays 
deprived child is :far more likely to be emotionally deprived 
am poesibly this is the greater deprivation to su:r:rer and 
the far harder to cope with. However, it is, I believe very 
worthwhile, giving the children a break a1'6Y :from their 
homes am tbli IXJl"ents a break awy from their children as 
summer holidays can ssem very long. 
The Harvest Festival services in cl:rurch will take place on September Joth and the services will be at the usual times 
o:r 8 a. m. Holy Communion and 10.30 a.m. Mattina. On the 

previous Sunday evening September 23rd there w.l.ll be 
Evenaong at 5.15 p0m. which will be attemed by the people 
of Dishop Amrews 1 Church, Carshalton who will be visiting 
us at Dorney during the day. I hope that as many Dorney 
people as possible will be at Evenaong that night to 
welcome our guests. The church f:r.-om which they come is in 
fact the daughter church of one or the parishes in which I 
have worked. 
With every good rsh,

In the event no ons e_lse stood ; om ex-C ouncillor failed to rut his noro1nation papn-s in iD time am one decided at 
the last mooont not to stan:l. So 5 were elected without 
opposition am there wre 2 vacanc ies. This meant a new 
an:l contested election as .3 camidates then stood. 
It is not at all easy far new candidates to get themilelves 
across to the electors because iD a small Parish there is 
no i;srty organisation availahle to support them. It boils down to houae to house canvassing iD whatever time they can 
make available an:l 1s hard word. As Chairman of the Council I am gra tsful. to the mny electors, 1'16arly 200, who made

m T.Hl!llE ANIOlE Fm TENNIS ? 
It has been suggested that there may be a su£ficient number 
of people in Dorney who play or would lilta to p1ay · tenn1s, to warrant the construction of a hard court on Trumpers 
Field. - Is there ? 
We need to know who 1a interested before deciding if it is 
a worthwhile project, . so would all you aspiring 'Wimbledon 
players who would lilta to be able to play locally, let me 
• 

• 
know. (D URNHAM 5974) 
For those interested, ·the present day cost of constructing a hard' tennis · court ready to play on, either with a tarmac 
surface where netball and five a side football could also 
be played, or a 1 grey green' surfaoe where on,ly tennis may 
oo played, is £1 1900 - £2 1000 for one court and. £3 1 500 - £3, 600 for two courts. •. · ·

1ST DOiUfil DRCMNIE GUIDF.S 
PACK HOLID AY AT DEER PARK N&Af( CHELTENHAM. JUμ, 1,973, 
This year -we were a little more adventurous and went 80 miles 
or more into the Cotswolds, The hall we used 1a in the grounds 
of Cowley Ml.nor a beautiful house in a perfect setting of 
lake and woodland, which we :were free to use.. Sixteen Drownies 
and two Guides arrived with. their par.ants 1n heavy rain, 
which prevented us from showing everyone around, Ne-vertheless 
when the parents ·nad left us · the Ilrownies -were eager to 
explo re, perhaps this was because of a lar ge notice that 
warned us to wear . boots by the lake because of the adders 
in the area l • Dut the inclement -weather kept us 1n .until 
Sumay wan complete with boots -we joined the +oeal popllation 
for. a tour of the Ml.nor and grounds. For we had chosen the 
weekend when Cowley had a Festival and Cotswold crafts were 
on show. The Drownies were able to watch Corn Dollies being 
made, wool spun and woven, try_ their band at basket weaving, 
and admire the skills of the wood-turner and potter. The sun 
shooo as we strolled the grouoos and we really began to feel 
away froo it ali and on holiday. 
During the weak we visited Dourton-o n-the..Water and saw 
Mr. Len Hi ll's wonderful collecticn of foreign birds at 
Dirdland. Soma are free-flying azrl it is no strange sight to see Dlue Ml.caws flying in froo the trees outside. Ye 
also wander ed round the charming Model Village where the 
sun brought out the cameras, and the Drownies searched for 
the model of the model of the model •••••• vil lage 1 

other days we followed footpaths across the Cotswolds 
discovering new wild flowers and clear streams, exp lored 
Cirencester with its reminders of Roman legions long ago, 
am bought presents to take home with us. We made new 
friends, a Brownie Pack from Cheltenham who • wre staying 
nearby and played games and sang songs witlr them. All too 
soon Thursday evening arr ived and we had our usual concert 
and entertainment and finished up the delicious cakes that 
mothers had provided. For the last time camp-beds were 
re-organised for tomorrow sleeping bags would be rolled up 
am cases packed ready for the coach journey back to Dorney. 
I haven 't mentioned the every day tasks that were p;irformed, 
but whether it was the premises being smaller or the fact • of it being our third Pack Holiday, everything went so well 
that already va are thinking I shall we return to Deer Park 
next summer ? 1

THE GUlDE DOOS FOR THE l3LIND AS scr.n.TTON 
Thanks to the people of Dorney another 140 lbs. of Tin 
Foil has bGen sent to this Association, bringing our 
donation so far to 212 lbs. 
The Guide Dogs for the Dlim Association have sent me 
soma literature about their dog training scheme and from this I have extracted a fev facts and figures which !:light 
be of general interest. The estimated cost of training a 
Guide Dog if £500, and it takes nearly 6 tons of waste 
aluminium foil to realise this figure. The curr ant price 
paid for foil is £4.48 per cent (or 4P per lb). 
The Association request that only clean milk bottle tops 
and aluminium foil should be collected, am point out that 
svaet -wr;;ppings , silver pa􀡞r from cigarette packets and 􀡟eaa foll show.a not be included. 
TW.s or ganisation was founded in 1934 and has its Headquarters at Ealing, with training centres at Dolton, Exeter , Forfar am T,esm 1ngton Sμi. arx! a breeding and 
pupp y walking centre near Warwick. The aim of tw.s 
• 
, 

• 
charitable organisation is· to give blind people greater 
_mobility and independence by training them with a Guide 
'D9g. 
The dogs for training are obtained through the associations 
own breeding and walking scJ:leme and from reputabl,e 
bt-eedars .. _ 80% of .the dogs that are trained are I.abrader 
Retriever s, the remainder being Alsations, Iloxe:rs , Gold en 
Retrievers and Gross-breed s, and usun.lly · bitches· are 
preferred . The training of the Guide Dog takes 4-5 months 
and of the blind person with the dog 4 weks0 The average 
working life of a dog is 8-9 year s, but occasionally they 
go on for as long as 12· years. 
Many factors make a dog unsuitable for training as a Guide 
Dog, and some of the se characteristics only show up during 
tea ting or_ training , so all dogs _ are taken on appr.-oval 
for up to three weeks .and if-. unauitable are returned to 
their owner s or sold to suitable home s. Not all blind 
• ar.plicants can be accepted due to various problems , like 
advancing age• physical disability, defective hearing or 
unsuitable home conditions. 
The associations leaflet give s advice to wll wisher s like 
ourselves who might want to help a Guide Dog Owner across 
a very busy· street. 11Do not grasp him by the arm or 
attempt to take hold of the harness ha ndle, instead approach 
him on the opposite side to the dog (i.e. on the right 
hand side ) and enquire whether ha -wants assistance, if he 
requires help let him take hold of your left arm, he will 
lower the harness handle on to the dog I s back thts 
relieving the dog of a:ey- responsibility for gu.iding him 
whi lst you are helping him". 
As ,this association is depen:iant entirely on voluntary 
contributions I do hope that readers of this magazine will 
continue (or start) to save their milk bottle tops and tin 
foil· containers to help such a worthy caus e. 
Mrs. Drown of Dorney School, Mrs. Covey of 8 Harcourt Road 
and I will be pleased to receive your collection (llowever 
small) at any time. .

There followed a week or so of slightly uncertain weather, 
w.1.th a little rain and a little sun on most days. With a 
rising glass four of the last five days were reasonably 
fine and sunny• 
The warmest day was that torrid list of July, and the coolest night the 24th, w.l.th sec. The total rainfall was 
2. 73", which is above average, but of this, over 􀡘• fell 
in two days, so a lot of it w.1.11 have run off locally 
saturated larrl, into streams and rivers, and have been lost 
to the sea. Dut it did mean that during the month, there 
were only two days which could really be called -wet. Not a 
bad record. 
lSODAR 
Nl.TURE NOTES 
The first week of August saw the swifts starting their way 
back to South Africa to pass our winter in a li!U'mer clime. 
Tw.l.ce during the early days of the month I spent a good ten 
minutes watching a long procession of these birds as they 
gradually wheeled 􀡙eir way south-westward on their long 
migratory flight. 
The fairy-ring season is w.1.th us again7 and early in the morning one can see people w.l.th bowed heads walking roun:'I 
these darker green rings in the grass. Now and again they 
stoop and something is picked-up which is then mysteriously 
placed in a pocket or bag. M.iahroo1:1s, like other fungi and 
like aniI:Jals, are unable to make their own food. In the 
ultimate, all life depends on green plants that can trap sunlight 
(energy) and use it to make food materials and in so 
doing the energy is locked up to be released later as required 
by the plant or by animals that eat the materials. When plants 
die, quite a lot of the food materials are still present in 
the dead remaina 0 Gradually this is used up in the decaying 
process by bacteria, fungi and small animals in the soil. 
A fungus develops f:r.-01:1 a very Sr.Jail spore. Its fine cotton 
wool like growth spreads in all directions through the available food materials using it up as it goes. A barren area is soon created at the starting point and the growth 
continues out in an ever increasing circle. 

-- --- -- ------------------------------------------------ As a result of the decaying process minerals that were 
locked up in this fungal food materials are released into 
the soil. They are often the minerals ·that are in fairly 
short supply .in the soil, so that with this new supply, the 
grass and other vegetation puts in a burst of growth and 
stands out . as a brighter green ring.

ISSUE NO. 10 OCTODER 1973 
EDIT ORIAL 
The Revd. Roger Royle recently invited all those associated 
'With the Dorney Farish News to an "At-Home" at the Vicarage. 
We all enjoyed a del5.,􀗄htful evening and I take this 
opportunity to re:1.'w􀗅o·'.•e our thanks. Roger planned the 
evening chiefly in an,reoiation of the ladies -who each month 
distribute tne maga3'..ne. It is a task which can be rather 
tedious espeoiall.y in unfavourable weather and I am sure all 
readers wish to be liuked in a vote of thanks. It is also 
opportune to thank thos.e i:;erennial conitributors, Isobar and 
Ilrock, for their unt:i;ring recording of weather and country-life. 
·These two items a.re always well received. 
Although the date of the first issue is unknown to the pr-esent 
editors we believe that the Dorney Farish News has been in 
circulation for almost twenty years. Whilst not suggesting 
that this is a record, it is a pretty good run for this 
tyi:;e of magazine. The "News" obviously has a place within 
our community, if only for its usd'ullness as a ready- • 
reference notice board of .local happenings and affairs. 
When, six_yeare ago, I was asked over the telephone if I 
would take-over as editor I was unable to think of a plausible 
reason to declina, even though I knew I was a last-resort 
nomination. I was very relieved when, shortly after this 
date, _my good friend Ken Spiers agreed to share the job 'With 
me. As I am not a menber of the Established Church it was 
explained to me that the D0P .N. is a non-sectarian magazina. 
M'.l.ybe readers feel that the contents belie this concept tut 
I would suggest that as the Church is the centre of village 
life, ·it is fitting that Church notices and the Vicar 1 s 
homily should take pride of place in each issue and that 
the cover-page should reflect this image. If some would 
nominate the village pub as the more realistic hub, we 
would argue that licensing hours a.re indelibly im!ll'inted 
in the minds of the 1 congregation 1 whereas i:;erhaps the time 
of Evensong needs to be verified within our pages. The P.c.c. also contributes to the cost of pr-oduction. 
Without their annual donation and revenue from advertisers 

and societies the price of each copy would be double the 
present threepence. 
We would like some suggestions (preferably constructive) to 
enable us to make the 11News0 more attractive. We have 
declined the idea of a monthly 1Miss Dornay1 for the centrepage, 
mainly because a stencilled image does nothing for the 
subject, but we should lika mey more contributions, It is 
your magazine dear reader am it is up to you to ensure its 
continual worth within the framework of Dorney life.

rt isn 11; very often that I wr:l,te to you about 1:1Cney except 
to say "thank you fol'. some of tbal lllOst generous gifts .that -we 
have :i:"eceived over the past two )'0ars. Dut. this month I do 
. want :to face you fair and squarely with the situation that 
-we ate in. 
First or all .'<Ill are the guardians of a very beaetiful building. 
• Over the centuries this building has been loved and -well cared 
for and so fortunat.ely when the last survey was· carried out w 
wre only faced with :rioorly £2 1000 of repairs and redecorations. 
This sum w have met. Dut -we -were warned by 
the surveyor that within the next 7 years w could be faced 
with the need for a new roof. This will be vary expensive 
and so w should start now and put money aside for it. If -we 
love and want our Church building then we IIIUSt be prepared 
to :took after it properly and pay for it. If we don't want 
it for Daptisms and "Weddings it still has to be kept up for 
the rest of the time• 
Even more impor􀗆t than the b.lilding is the· work that stems 
from it and the people involved in that work. Here it is not 
just a matter of money but it involves the time axrl the 
talents of people as -well. As regards people's time am their 
talents I could not be more grateful. During the 2 years that 
I have been here people have come to m;r support and assistance 
in every way possible. I have only had tc ask and someone 
has been prepared to len:l a ham, and sometimes I have not 
even had to ask. The music side of our worship is very wll 
looked after. The no-wer arrangers, the cleaning people, 
the ·sidesmen all do their job with considerable care - and 
what is more encouraging is that none of them are closed 
shopil rut alwB-ys prepared to welcome new P3ople in. The 
churob;yards are looked after, the bellringers are growuig 
in strength and ability, our accounts are meticulously kept. 
The Explorers continue to provide a vital meeting for the 
young children. All this is good and positive. M:ire people 
could help with all these activities rut at least there is 
a solid basis on -which -to build. 
Dut if we are to expan'I w wst have the money with which 
to do it. And we need it on a regular basis •.. Our loose 
coin collection on a Sun:lay has grown tremendously and is a 

great help but the future for the Parish would look even 
brighter if people -were prepared to give on a reg1Llar basis 
so that we could plan our si:ending accordingly. H\w much 
you give is entirely up to yau. You know your coillllli.tments, 
you know what you can afford. You know vhat value ;you put 
on the life of the Chill-eh and its vork. Dut it·would be a 
tremendous help ff yau: could comtlder giving reg'\ll.arly, 
either through the envelope seheme or through a covenant. 
Details of these schemes can be found elsewhere 1n this 
Parish News but I \lould be only too pleased to discuss the 
matter with anyone who wanted to. 
As IllWlY of you knov there are ma.ey things a bout this Parish 
that bring me great happiness. Not the least of these being 
the -way in vhich the Parish has taken to Project to its 
heart and has adapted itself to new -ways of +.h:tnJdng. Dut we 
have still got to keep our minds open to the -way 1n which 
we are called to serve God and the people aroUIXl us, 
and this means that at no time can -we be complacent about 
anything that -we do - least of all the way that w use our 
time or talents am Olll' money in the service of God. 
On October 1st -we vlll be having the A.G.M. of the )oject 
»i.nagement Council at the Vicarage. The main aim vlll be 
to report on the vork of the past year am on the vhole 
this vlll be, I believe, a fairly positive report as the 
work has expanded during the year but there is always room 
for both improvement am change. I personally want the 
Parish to get as much use out of the house as possible just 
as Eton College makes very good use of it and so if anyone 
has any ideas of the way the house could be used to benefit 
the Parish more I should very much like to hear them. One 
word of encouragement to those who braved the roughness of 
the garden on July let, I very much hope to level it during 
the Autumn - or should I say more accurately - have it 
levelled ! 
With every good wish, 
Yours ever, 
Roger Royle,

CHRISTIAN STEWARDSHIP 
Roger Royle bas referred earlier in this issue to the need 
of the Parish Church for a larger and more stable form of 
income. The various methods by which you may help to 
sustain the work of the Project and the fabrtc of the 
Church itself are all quite simple. None requires that 
the contribution should become a burden on some future 
situation which cannot be fore11_een now. If you are able 
to help, wlurtewr tho size · of your contribution, please 
ycuout out the portion below ticking the method of paymen􀇄 would like to know more about. A member of the 
Parish Church Council will then talk to you to let you 
know what is involved. 
Remember that finding out more about how you can help is 
not a commitment. An addressed envelope is enclosed.

DORNEY W01'EN 1S IR3TITUTE 
The first meeting of the new session was wll-attended! 
except for a few fortunate members still on holiday. The 
!resident warmly welcomed an old friend, Mrs. Gibbs, who 
was visiting us. 
A letter was read from Mr-s. Saunders thanking us for the 
nowers she had been sent while she was in hospital. We 
ho12 she will be able to rejoin us again soon. 
The Secretary is still finding out about suitable plays 
for our Autumn theatre outing. As well as Guildford and 
Chichester, which we haw visited in the inst, the Richmon:l. 
theatre and the &rmaid are being considered. 
The outing in July to Lady D urnham Is home, Hall Darn, was 
voted most enjoyable, and we hope to go there again to picnic 
in the grounds as she suggested. 
Dack to the problem of fund-raising for this year, Mr-s. Huddart 
and the committee have asked members to try to raise £2 
each by their own efforts. Baby-sitting, the sale of produce, 
and 8taking in one another's washing," as Mark Twin put it, 
were all brought forward as suggestions. 
The programme of sp:iakers for next year is now happily 
complete0 Two forthcoming events on the Dorney social calendar 
are the Parish Harvest Supper and the Village Hall 
Anniversary Dance. Requests to provide refreshments for both 
these events wre met with the usual 'Willing offers of help • 
Mrs. Roberts was congratulated by Mr-s. Williamson on 
winning so many prizes at the recent Dorney Horticultural 
S how - an encouragement to us all ! 
last year we enjoyed Mr. Martin's illustrated talk on the 
Thames• This time he came to show us an even more 
fascinating collection of slides, ranging over the whole 
country, and entitled 8This England" . The journey was so 
rapid that it is impossible to mention all the places we 
visited in his company, but here is a selection of some of 

the most viviu : an Elizabethinn villa6e with a slll1lgglers 1 
inn, a wonderfully preserved 9th Century Cross, Mi.y Day 
ceremonies in a modern Ducks village, a cattle-market with 
reaWtic noises , sea scenes, Buckler I s Hard and the church 
in the parlour , Westminster Abbey and the pageantry of 
London, the old walls of York, prehistoric relics like 
Stonehenge, the .-.istom cf well-dressing in the North, the 
first-fioor shopring precincts of Chaster, the homes of 
the famous in Stratford, colourful flower gardens at Chelsea 
and Wisley, down to Devon and th􀆭 memory of Drake and 
Raleigh, and finally back to King Arthur at Tintagal and 
Glastonbury. All .these scenes were aceompaniad by a _ most 
professional sound-track and commentary. It was hard to 
believe that Mr. Ma rtin does this just for a hobby - we felt 
he deserved a wider audience. 
At the next m6eting, on October loth, there will be a 
talk on Interior Decorating.

DRGJ'NIES & GUIDES 
During the last weak in October local Drownies and 
Guides will be taking part in their annual Job Weak. 
will be calling at most houses in and around Dorney. 
Thay 
Perhaps you will give soma thought ta the jobs or errands 
that they might be able ta undertake commensurate with 
their age. 

IET1 S DO IT 
Once upon a time we had a dilapidated draughty, 
uncomfortable and badly lit Village Hall. There w looked 
forward every year to the Dorney Concert Party's Variety 
S hows am their Annual Pantomimes. 
At a time of financial crisis every organisation in the 
Village, including the Parish Council combined to provide 
a riotous evening. 
After that the Dorney Players put on oany plays with large 
casts in 􀗉 Wife1 s Lodger, Quiet Weekend, Dlithe S pirit and 
many others. The Hall was filled for an evening of one act 
plays, including one by the village school children. 
Now w have _a large, comfortable, -warm am well lit Hall 
with a stage that is hardly ever used. 
Have we all become so hypnotised by that "SQUARE DOX:11 that 
we are incapable of entertaining ourselves ? Can 1 t we get 
together am do just that ? Let1 s have a try. Ideas please.

an inch of rain. A few yrors ago that would have been 
August Dank-holiday l Such con:Utions can be very haroful 
to crops, and mny corn-fields wre extensively flattened. 
The middle of the month was sunny and warm, with a l!laJd.mum 
of 3􀗇, which is hot by aey stamard, on the 16th; and 
on the following day, the minimum was still a pretty -warm 
• 
• 

18􀇅. Dy the 21st it was cooler, with a i:rudmul?I of only 
19cc, but it soon became warm aga.i.n, am .it remained quite 
sunny until the 2'/th, tJh<'n a :fR:h'ly s0vei·e thunderstorm 
occurred in the evmdng, accompanied by neru:ly half an 
inch of rain. 
The 29th produced the first real fog, dense, and 
persistent enough to cause trouble for some early coramuters. 
The total rainfall of 1.6911 again confined to two spells, 
was below average, and helped the farmers to get in a 
batter harvest than had been expected. 
It has been a really splendid SUirdll9r. The pessimists are now of course, waiting to pay for it; and this is a bit 
of weather lore not totally without logic. Our weather 
has been predominantly settled, with high pressure nearby 
for most of the SUJ:llller: am once a trend sets in, it is 
marginally more likely to persist than to change. If the 
high pressure does continue until January, it could 
iroduce a fine dry, but fogg;y autumn, and a colder win-t..er 
than for some years. 
ISODAR 
NATU!',E NOTES 
A very poinonous plant has appeared in the Parish this 
year. About a dozen of these plants - the Thorna.pple, 
appeared in the corner of a field where they certainly 
have not been seen, to my knowledge, in ten years. It 
has large white, five-lobed, trumpet-shaped flowers which 
may measure up to 3 inches across. It takes its name from 
its fruit which are covered with spires and looks like an 
elongated horsechestnut conker-case • 
The leaves of the plant were very free from insect pasts 
or signs of their damage. No doubt this was due to ·the 

powerful alkaloid present in the plant. This narcotic ws 
used for relieving asthma am as a cough remedy, atrl this 
would account for its once widespread cultivation. In 
the 18th Century, it was apparently frequent about London 
atrl elsewhere. 
Tthhei s faplcatn tth, afto ri tt hhaers e suadrdee nlyre􀋷o arpdres atrheadt iisnd nicota teunu tshauatl wwheinth 
some old ground in Anglesey was cultivated for the first 
time for over 100 years thornapples appeared in abunlance. 
The number of seeds produced is also of interest in that 
a s:lngle fruit or capsule may contain up to 800 seeds, so 
a plant carrying as many as 10 fruits will release as many 
as 81000 seeds. Calling on records for this plant, many 
have up to .30 fruits and one was noted that carried over 
100 capsules which might be ooq,ected to produce nearly 
three-quarters of a million seeds. The percentage 
germination is high too, given that one is prepared to 
wait perhaps a century for those with a long dormanc;y 
period to break their aleep ! 
The butterflies in the area seem to have been more 
abundant this year - being able to count as many as 20 
whilst walking down about 150 ;yards of hedge is certainly 
up on last year, but a long way short of about one per 
;yard that I counted on my holiday in Cornwa.J.J, this year. 
This .30 ;yards stretch did not saem to be unique either. 
In case ;you are like me am missed hearing Pa trick M:iore 
the other week, I gather that 'We are to be visited by a 
comet in December and January. I can only remember 
seeing two. This one, called Kohoutek, should be so 
bright that it will be visible even in daylight. 
Astronomers believe that it will be 10 times brighter 
than any comet previously observed.

EDITORIAL 
The Frost programmesso often leava a sense of irritation, 
probably because they can be disjointed with interruptions 
or many :μiople talking at the same time. Not always is it 
the person that might respom to the last statement who 
succeeds in being heard. The programme on pornography seemed 
􀕶 be worse than usual. In this case it was aggravated by 
two large groups with opposite and biased views1 but not once 
was heard aey reference to the cumulativa effect of exposure 
to this insidious tr􀕷fic. 
The American °expert11 gava an api;mently convincing :μirformance 
stating bis interpretations of comparatively short term 
studies - but this is often the case with researchers - 
unfortunately they are not always completely objective and 
sometimes try to prova a rx:,int of view. His conclusions 
sincere perhaps are unconvincing and as yet unsupported. 
Some of the audience obviousl{ making a living from 
pornography are, in a sans􀕸, pimping" by supplying Art in 
the visual or written form to a variety of :μiople. It 
seeao in some circles to be "trendy" to be vociferously 
liberal in their views and behaviour. It is of course easy 
to be weak. Judging from the remarks of one young girl it 
would appear that in the pursuit of freedom everyone should 
be "free to do as they 1ike0 • At the risk of stating the 
obvious; this must be an immature view, as it cannot work 
in practice. If only one person did as he or she wished, at 
some point there would be interference with someone else's 
rights. In a community one cannot avoid the responsibility 
that others hava to be considered. In fact a great deal more 
consideration for others· is necessary if ware to achieve 
happiness. A lack of social responsibility is behind the 
selfish desire to 9 do as I wish". 
Those that advocate that pornography be freely available are 
taking a short term selfish view for :μirsonal gratification 
or personal gain. In no sense can i􀕹 serva to raise the 
tone of the human spirit - most like􀕺 it will debase it. 

(Maey of those who enjoy it have an unhealthy obsession 
about sex and probably need compensation for sexual in­ 
adequacy). The cumulative effect upon several generations 
would possibly result in the degeneration of our character 
and culture. There are precedents where permissiveness, 
which is only another way of saying indiscipline, has 
contributed to the depravity and eventual downfall of a 
civilisation, viz the Roman Empire, and who can say it will 
not happen again.

great powers of 1, merica and Russia through their supply of 
arms to the people of the 111.ddle East show that this war is 
not restricted to just Jew am Arab. 
We have been unfortunate in the Vicarage recently with . two 
weekend conferences being cancelled but for the naxt few 
weekends we are fairly well booked with either youth groups 
or P .c.c , 1 s having day conferences. We are hoping by planning 
further ahead to get better use of the Vicarage, making sure 
that it is put to the widest variety of uses possible. 
I hope that last· month.l a issue has encouraged more people to 
take the Parish News, so that more people can keep themselves 
informed as to what is hai:pening and also be encouraged to 
take a greater share themselves in. all that goes on. 
With every good wish, 
Yours ever,

THE WEATHER ClF §Ei:TEMQER 
For the first fortnight September carried on as if summer · -were to last the year. Dlazing day succeeded blazing day, and the tempera ture rose to a sizzling 2%°0 on the 5th. The barometer stayed high and steady, tut on the 11th started a gentle decline , which was to centime for almost a wek. • On tb3 15th 'tibe sky became overcast, am by dusk lightning was forking from leaden clouds heavy with rain. I passed through Eton in a tropical. downpo,ar , am had visions of rrry parched lawn becoming green at last. The rainfall in Dorney ? All of .01n ; not enough to form a 
puddle !

Dut we were not to wait long ; the low rressure which had 
developed, p13rsisted, and on the 19th the first heavy rain of 
the month fall; 0 45n . It was followed by 0 26" ai:19 • 758 
during the next two days, making a total of almost l{JT, 
spread over three days. The barometer readings were not all 
tM.t low, for it was a small local depression, which is often 
wetter than the troughs which circulate round the much 
deeper depres sions which tend to pass to the no rth. 
A rising barometer produced four pleasant days, but rain fell 
again on the 26th, 27th & 28􀕿, to a total of .65" • 
The temperature plot for the month shows how Saptem􀖀 bridges 
the gap between summer and autumn, for after that 29½ C it 
beoa.ma steadily cooler, registering a minimum of 5½CC on the 27th, 
The rain fall, as has so often bean the case this summer, in 
two hectic sp6l,ls 1 to a total of 2.15", which is well up to 
average. A good month on the whole.·

Quite. rapidly the bare patches la.ft by the contractors 
carrying out the main drainage scheme, are being covered by 
plants to form what the ecologist would·oa.11 .an open community. 
The first colonisers such a.a Groundsal arrl Penny Cress have a 
special aptitude for arriving early, growing quickly and 
producing seed before the more long􀖁tsrm vegetation gets a 
hold, These weeds, for that is what they are, they turn up 
in the garden when we leave ;l.t for a bit, have fruits am seeds .that are easily dispersed by the wirrl so are able to 
get a foothold in the new habitat quickly. 
Gradually as the weeks go by new arrivals like the grasses 
will apraar and begin to flourish. Their seeds have, for 
the most part taken longer to get there and they often need 
the initial shelter afforded by the earlier colonisers for 
their early growth. These plants take much longer to reach 
maturity. 
Soon all the bare ground is covered and than starts the process 
of competition between the various type of plants for 

light,􀖂 spi.ce􀖂 in􀖂 which,􀖂to􀖂 grow,;􀖂 and􀖂 􀕊t􀖂 is􀖂 often􀖂 not􀖂

ISSUE NO. 12 DECEMBER, 1973 
E D I T O R I A L 
The prospect of car-less towns and lorry-free lanes 
may evoke visions of a pedestrian􀈪 paradise but the very 
mention of petrol rationing will induce nervous traumas in 
the week-day commuter. We who rely on public transport, 
do not relish the thought of all those public-spirited 
motorists, who normally zoom to Town along the M4, being 
thrust upon our fickle and degenerating services. London 
Transport is bedevilled by staff shortages, and journeys, 
particularly on the Underground, are becoming more and more 
difficult and frustrating for the long-suffering traveller. 
For the English, travelling in close proximity to 
others is not only a physical hardship but a source of mental 
anguish. An Englishman will, if given the choice, always 
take an empty carriage; whereas men of other nations, in 
particular the Italians, love to crowd together and display 
their extrovert personalities. There was a time when one 
had space to open a newspaper: alas that space is now 
occupied by two other bodies. This is real deprivation, 
for a newspaper is essential to the travelling businessman. 
Behind it he can hide from the World about him. If a fellow 
passenger should faint or die or speak or be guilty of 
similarly embarrassing behaviour, the enclosed reader can 
legitimately not notice. It is good-form for those without 
papers to look the other way. 
Of course, attitudes are changing. The Metropolitan 
line is becoming the Cosmopolitan and a lot of beastly 
foreign habits are becoming more prevalent. Talking and even 
laughter, once reserved for times of great adversity, are now 
commonplace and some people even have the effrontery to ask 
if they are on the right train. 
I have learned one good tip from our overseas 
companions. When pressed round-about by Englishmen, try 
to engage your neighbours in loud conversation. You will 
soon find yourself in splendid isolation and should 
immediately seize this advantage and open-up your newspaper.

As most of you most probably already know I have offered 
my resignation to the management of the Dorney Parish-Eton 
College Project and so I will be leaving my present job 
when my contract runs out at the end of August. This was 
obviously not an easy decision to make. I have enjoyed my 
work in all three sections of it and there is something 
tremendously satisfying about creating something new. The 
whole project got off the ground faster than I would ever 
have imagined. The parish responded extremely well and 
Eton always gave their whole hearted support. But I think 
that now is the time for the whole concept to move into 
phase two and I believe that a new mind is needed to do this. 
Certain aspects of the work of the project need developing, 
especially the link with the local schools. Certain aspects 
need changing in the way that programmes are planned for the 
house. And one of the most vital needs is to look at the 
whole question of staffing and how the staff are housed. It 
is not always possible to think imaginatively if the person 
doing the thinking is never able to get away from the constant 
needs of the day to day running of the house. Living in the 
middle of the shop can be very tiring and non productive even 
for a bachelor and impossible for a married man! 
The project has I believe a very good future ahead of it as 
it is one of the more exciting things being done by the Church 
but it will only remain exciting as long as people are 
constantly trying to evaluate its work and make the necessary 
changes. 
The reason for my giving so much notice is that there can't 
be a gap between my leaving and a new man taking on. And if 
we want a good man he is going to be in a good job now and so 
will need to give his present employers ample notice. But 
still, don't get too cheerful as you have to put up with me for 
another 9 months!

Since I have been in Dorney I have been thrilled with the 
way that people have taken the trouble to remember the 
reason why we celebrate Christmas at all. I very much 
hope that this year will be no exception. The care that 
God was prepared to show in becoming man should be an 
example for us to follow, both in the care that we show 
in our relationship with God and also in our relationship 
with each other. To take the trouble to worship God at 
Christmas is one aspect of this care, and so may I welcome 
as many as can come to church over the Christmas to come. 
The detail of all that is happening over the Christmas can 
be found elsewhere in the Parish News. 
Two sessions that have gone very well recently at the 
Vicarage have been two that were locally based. One was a 
P. C.C. training day which was led by The Reverend Charles 
Hodgson from the Diocese of Oxford. It gave members of 3 
local parishes, including Dorney, a chance to look at what 
their job was and how they were to set about doing it. The 
other session was for young people and attended by people 
from Datchet and Dorney. The title of this session was 
'Make me a Church' and it gave an opportunity for the young 
people to examine what the church was about and how they 
would like to change it. Apart from one bad night, that I 
will not go into now, the session went very well indeed! 
May I wish you all a very happy Christmas. I also hope it 
will be a peaceful one as well throughout the whole world. 
With every good wish, 
Yours ever, 
Roger Royle.

' Dorney Parish News ' 
Dear Isobar, 
For long you have studiously noted the vagaries 
of our micro-climate, reminding us that the months past 
were, or were not, as bad as we thought. But I for one 
would find your reflections even more interesting if 
you could tell us regularly what is to come. Indeed in 
the latest publication you have cautiously suggested 
that this Winter might be a cold one. Are you holding 
something back from us? 
Have you consulted the piece of seaweed I ' m 
sure you must have hung up in the porch by your front 
door? Are the holly trees (female) producing berries 
this year? Remember the sayings,'For every fog in 
October, a snow in December' or again, ' If there ' s 
ice in November that will bear a duck, there' ll be 
nothing after but sludge and muck'. Are there any 
snowflakes in your crystal ball? When did the robin 
start his Winter song? Tell us the worst Isobar. 
Even if you should by chance be wrong our memories 
are short and our old copies of the D.P. News will have 
been ' re-cycled'. So you have nothing to fear - at least 
from me. 
Yours sincerely, 
R.S. LINEY.

THE WATER INQUIRY & SWEEP' S BISCUIT 
SWEEP in the Slough Observer of 2 November said 
'Talking about preserving old England, I award the Sweep 
Biscuit for Double Talk to Middle Thaines Water Board. 
Defending their plan to establish a pumping station on a 
70 acre Green Belt site near the Thaines at Dorney they 
said it would "Sterilise the land against other development". 
His remark brilliantly sums up the whole matter in 
48 words and may be compared with the 4􀅩 days taken by 
M.T.W.B. and 1􀅩 days by their opposition. 
M.T.W.B., assisted by the Thaines Conservancy, showed 
that some water could be extracted although they did not 
yet know for certain whether the eventual amount could be 
raised to reach their total needs. It emerged that there 
were other sources and methods of finding water, but such 
could be more expensive than the Dorney Project. 
Ranged against M.T.W.B. were Bucks County Council 
and Eton R.D.C. represented by Mr. Swallow; the Parish 
Council represented by Mr. Tetlow, the solicitor for the 
Bucks County Association of Parish Councils, who most ably 
presented our case; Dorney farmers , well represented by the 
N.F.U. solicitor, Mr. Durrant; a number of brave individuals 
from both inside and outside the Parish who had the courage 
to speak - to whom many thanks. Mr. Ronald Bell , M.P., the 
Council for the Protection of Rural England and the Country 
Landowners Association wrote letters supporting us as did 
an exceptionally large number of Parishioners and neighbours. 
And numerous Parishioners attended the Inquiry for some or 
all sessions to show interest. To all our supporters the 
Parish Council offers their grateful thanks, also to Mrs.Tyler 
for taking, developing and setting up a series of admirable 
photos of the Appeal site and to Mr.Tyler for his recording 
of waterworks noises at Datchet. 
- 8 - 
• 

• 
• 
Both sides had a most fair hearing and everyone 
thought that the Inspector, Miss J.L. Abery, was outstanding. 
She and members of the Inquiry visited the 
Appeal site and also saw Dorney Church and Court. They 
were left in no doubt that we in the Parish and indeed 
everyone else was against water being extracted from the 
Dorney gravels and that some other source should be chosen . 
The result of the Inquiry may not be known for some 
months and may even be delayed until after 1st April 1974 
when the Regional Water Authority, with wider views and 
purse , supercedes M.T.W.B. And whatever the Inspector 
may decide, it still has to be approved or amended by the 
Secretary of State for the Environment. 
As to the result - I find it difficult to believe 
that the wishes of local people and of Buckinghamshire as 
a whole will be set aside, especially as alternative sources 
of water supply do exist. The landowner does not wish to 
sell. 
I must add that owing to the exceptional length of 
the Public Inquiry the Parish Council incurred legal costs 
of E574 . 5O (after deduction of VAT E57. 45, which is 
recoverable) plus some E25 other expenses. The Parish 
Council hope that the County Association of Parish Councils, 
the County Council and Eton R.D.C. will agree to share this 
burden with the Parish and are inviting them so to do.

In the ploughed field behind my house I have twice

here before. 
It stands about 1ft. to 18ins. high, has a pale grey 
elliptical shaped body, long legs and neck and has a whiteish 
sharp pointed head and beak. It looks as through it might be 
a "fishing" type of bird. Can anyone tell me what it is?

DORNEY WOMEN ' S INSTITUTE 
In spite of the excitement caused by the Royal Wedding, there 
was a very good attendance at the meeting on November 14th. 
The President said how pleased she was that so many members 
had come to the A.G.M., and warmly welcomed Mrs. Wood, our 
visiting V.C.O. 
We heard a report on the Group Meeting at Bourne End, where 
there had been a very interesting speaker. It was during the 
business meeting that Mrs. Horner, like Lord Byron, awoke and 
found herself famous. Dreaming comfortably in her chair, she 
suddenly heard that she had been appointed as our new Group 
Convenor. Hers will be the task of welding us into a different 
group in the New Year, and we wish her every success. 
our Secretary has spent many frustrating weeks trying to arrange 
a theatre outing, so we were all delighted to hear that seats 
had been booked for a matinee performance at Guildford of a 
comedy, "My Son ' s Father", starring Gerald Harper, on Thursday, 
November 29th. 
Passing on to the business of the A.G.M., we heard a very 
satisfactory financial statement introduced by Mrs. Huddart. 
She revealed that at least 3 members had already raised their 
£2 towards W.I. funds. Mrs. Rowlands, in the Secretary ' s report, 
reminded us of the highlights of our year's activities. Both 
these speakers have gained so much in confidence during their 
time on the committee that they bore out the words of the 
President in the speech which followed. She appealed to other 
members to take the plunge and come forward as leaders in various 
groups, giving as an example Mrs. Jones and her enterprising art 
class. 
Mrs. Wood, outlining the history of the W.I., showed us how 
its activities have changed according to new circumstances. 
During the war the emphasis was certainly on jam-making and 
food production - nowadays new subjects such as dealing with 
central heating, double glazing and waste disposal have been

added to the courses at Denman College. Menus are now chosen 
to suit the age and occupation of the consumer. She ended by 
proclaiming that she still believes the w. r. to be the finest 
movement for women in the world. 
By this time the votes for the new committee had been counted, 
and the names were announced as follows: Mrs. Allen, Mrs. 
Clifford, Mrs. Chase, Mrs. Finch, Mrs. Harpur, Mrs. Harrison, 
Mrs. Huddart, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Roberts, Mrs. Rowlands, Mrs. 
Sharphouse and Mrs. Williamson. Among the six members nominated 
for President, none were willing or able to stand except Mrs. 
Williamson, so we are pleased to announce that she has agreed 
to be President again for another year. 
The proceedings closed with tea, and Mrs. Roberts was thanked 
for having made a delicious birthday cake with pink icing. 
The competition for the best animal photo was won my Miss 
Strugnell with a picture of her dog Simon. Runners-up were 
Mrs. Sharphouse, Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Sharp. 
The meeting on December 12th will be a Members' Meeting. 
Mrs. Finch has rounded up her cast and hopes to present a 
short play, and older members are being asked to tell us 
their reminiscences of Dorney in the old days.

AND THE BEST OF LUKE 
And there went out a decree from the 
water Board that the whole county should 
be enrolled in the search for fresh water. 
And it came to pass that the days of search 
were accomplished aad the fresh water was 
brought forth through the bore holes in 
the Dorney gravels. 
And there were upon these same gravels, 
Farmers, keeping watch over their crops 
by right. 
And behold an agent of the Board stood 
by them and they feared with a great fear. 
And the agent said to them; 
behold I bring good tidings 
to all the people. 
Fear not, for 
that shall be 
For this day is born to you an Inquiry in 
the town of Slough. 
And this shall be a sign unto you : You 
shall find the outcome wrapped in legal 
clothes and laid before an arbiter. 
And suddenly there was with the agent 
a multitude of the legal army praising 
or decrying the proposed Works of the Board: 
Some saying: 
Glory be to Dorney and to our good piece 
of Earth.

CTX 900 by Bill Hakesley. 
It all started when a friend called round to say that 
a dealer near Kingston had two old vehicles for sale. One, 
a 1929 Dennis as used by vegetable merchants for runs to Covent 
Garden, he had bought, but the other, a Leyland Fire Engine, 
was still for sale. My sons and I had rebuilt a couple of old 
motor-cycles for the fun of it, so we thought we would work up 
to bigger things. Without too much forethought we set out to 
view the Leyland, and were met by a rather depressing sight. At 
the side of the yard stood a very stripped down fire engine, no 
ladder, light hoses etc., the engine partly dismantled with big 
ends gone and a few parts missing. The paint on the sides of 
the body was quite good but the rest needed completely renovating, 
especially the roof which had partly fallen in - the bonnet 
had been walked over many times. A fairly modest price was 
finally agreed upon, bearing in mind that this machine was on 
the point of being cut up for scrap. Luckily the pump, gauges 
and even the bell were still intact. Also, but for the engine, 
the mechanical parts were in very good order, mainly due to its 
low mileage (8,000). 
The first problem after purchase was to get it home. A 
friend's 5 ton Ford Trader was borrowed as it was fitted with 
a towing hook and rigid bar; we did not know the state of the 
Leyland's brakes. But the Ford turned out to have virtually 
none whilst the Leyland's were quite good so by arranged hand 
signals the Leyland was used to pull up both vehicles. Anyway, 
after an uneventful tow home, the fire engine was pushed into 
the drive at "Rookwood". What the neighbours thought, when they 
found that a fire engine had taken up residence in the area, has 
never been found out. 
The rebuilding started with the polishing of the rather 
rusty cylinder bores with wet and dry and paraffin. This proved 
to give good results as a fair compression was achieved and on 
inspection after running for a few hours, showed a good polish. 
The main problem was the steel-backed, white metal big end bearings. 
A visit to Glacier Metals revealed only 4 halves of the 
12 we needed, so the rest were packed and fiddled to fit. The 
engine was then assembled. 
- 20 - 

The great night arrived. Joan and I were due to go out 
to a dinner party at 9 p. m. , but the engine was in a near state 
to run. A spare battery had been borrowed and together with 
another one in parallel, the engine was turned over. After a 
few turns a splutter was heard but then no more signs of life, 
Joan was now calling that it was time to get ready to go. One 
can imagine the reply after weeks of work on the engine, but 
after a few more adjustments had been made it started, a great 
feeling to hear and see it in motion. The fire engine was 
tried for movement, a few yards down the drive proved that it 
could move under its own power, then off for a quick wash and 
out to dinner. 
All the preceding action took place between September 
and December, 1968, and the Leyland was worked on during the 
Winter, hoping to get it ready for Easter, as we had heard 
that somebody was holding a rally for old vehicles at Watford. 
As it turned out, the fire engine was not ready so we went 
along without it and besides seeing what went on at these 
meetings, received a list of future events. 
The next milestone in the life of CTX 900 was the 
first rally. This was the one held at Ottershaw, just South 
of Chertsey (who ran it I am not sure). We motored over and 
did the usual things and all went very well until a thunderstorm 
softened the field and the Leyland stuck well and truly. 
Ropes were fastened to her and about 40 or 50 men, women and 
children pulled and pushed until she came out. The family and 
the Leyland attended a few more rallies with the UDVVS, the 
big ends still knocking if the throttle was operated at anything 
but the slowest rate and the oil pressure was nonexistant. 
- 21 -

About this time we won a bottle of beer at, I believe, 
the Hanworth Carnival, and having no way to open it, Ernie 
Quinton was approached in the ex-Blackpool Fire Tender. He 
had an opener but thought this a suitable time to chat us up 
about joining the Uxbridge Club, especially as we had attended 
many of their events. So, form filled in and money paid, we 
became part of the historic vehicle movement, a thing we had 
never intended when we bought CTX 900. A few more rallies 
followed, then we were approached by Peter Perdue (who was 
unknown to us at this time but I believe he was a UDWS member 
in the early days). He had the job of finding the fire fighting 
props for the "Battle of Britain" film and was organising 
the fire safety cover. We had four great nights on the film, 
three on location and one at the studios. One· street in 
Southwark, due for demolition, was actually burned down. 
Stewart, who was about 14 at the time, was taken along and 
allowed to stay up all night and found the whole business of 
film making quite fantastic. After the film, Peter Perdue 
gave us the engine out of a Leyland FK6. We received this 
with many thanks, assuming that although a non-runner (no 
cylinder head), the rest would be sound. I was all for putting 
it straight into CTX 900, but friends with more common sense, 
and not involved in the work, suggested it should be stripped 
for inspection.

THE WEATHER OF OCTOBER 
A high barometer produced two fine days to start the month, 
and a warm day on the 5th, when the temperature rose to 
22°c. Then with little change of pressure, the 6th and 7th 
produced the wettest twelve hours I can recall. It started 
with a thunderstorm, accompanied by tropical rain at 16. 00 
hours on the 6th, when l'!" fell in half an hour; and by 
07.00 next morning the total had risen to 2. 77", which is 
more than a month's quota. This heavy and prolonged rain 
was strangely local, for at nearby Chalfont St. Giles, very 
little rain fell during this period. 
The next few days were dull but dry, but there was gentle 
rain on the 11th, and the first ground frost of the autumn 0 appeared on the 12th, when the temperature fell to l'! c. 
A deep depression moving slowly 
the weather unsettled for a few 
than could have been expected. 
weather was variable; fine on 
dull and damp on the 19th, 20th 
over Northern France kept 
days, but produced less rain 
From the 17th to the 24th the 
the 17th, 18th and 21st; but 
and 22nd. 
From the 23rd onwards we came under the influence of a steady 
high pressure system, with fog most mornings lifting to sunshine 
later on. Sometimes the fog was quite persistent, and it did 
not lift until after mid-day on the 26th and 30th. During such 
weather the nights are cold, and the lowest temgerature of the 
month occurred on the 28th, with a minimum of O C. 
The total rainfall was 3.61"; well above average, but apart 
from the deluge, rain was otherwise fairly light. The 21st 
was breezy, but with high pressure persisting for most of the 
time, the month was calm, and towards the end, distinctly, 
foggy.

NATURE NOTES 
I am glad to hear this week that the Argyll and Sutherland 
Highlanders are considering giving up the use of the traditional 
badger head as an adornment of their sporrans. Brock has been 
suffering quite a bit over the last few years and conservationists 
reckon that nationally, the numbers have gone down to a 
point where concern should be expressed as to their future. 
Quite what protection has been given by the recent Act of 
Parliament designed to protect the badger remains to be seen. 
One of the local badger setts was being troubled last year by 
the use of wire nooses in the entrances. Thankfully I have no 
evidence of this practice this year. 
I have often pondered the problems of the farmer who has to 
cope with sett entrances, not just in his hedgerow, but quite 
often some distance - perhaps ten to twenty yards - into his 
field. I should imagine that driving a combine-harvester into 
a sett entrance when it is shrouded by a cereal crop can be 
quite an expensive operation and one that would not endear Brock 
to the farmer. One way of causing badgers to move on to 
"pastures new" is to use a liquid called Reynardine which is sold 
by agricultural chemists to deter such unwanted animals.(Badgers 
at My Window by Phil Drabble). One soaks sawdust with the liquid, 
puts a small quantity inside the sett entrance and then earths 
it up so that the smell is kept in. Such a treatment will last 
perhaps 2 - 3 months and with repetition can keep a sett empty. 
Can anybody throw any light on reports of a strange bird in 
Dorney on 6th November? The bird, which appears to have been a 
Crowned Crane (of African origin) was seen in the field between 
Cress Brook and the cemetery. The most likely explanation is 
that it had escaped from an Aviary. Any information please? 
"A new insecticide, more powerful than the dangerous ones like 
DDT". So claimed a spokesman for the Rothampstead Research 
Establishment recently for a new product. I notice that he was 
careful not to say that it was not persistent, a point he could 
surely have made, so setting a good many minds at rest - or 
perhaps it is persistent? Our poor old environment.
