Cremation' Company Limited to the Amalgamated Tobacco Corporation Limited. Lord Verulam, who has been president of the society since the death of Lord Horder in 1955, is also a director of the Cremation Company. In a letter to the shareholders, the text of which was issued the London Cremation Company states that the society has now decided to accent the latest offers made bv the Amalgamated Tobacco Corporation for tne acquisition ot- the issued share capital of the company. "Your directors accordingly believe" that, with the addition of the shares previously acquired by tne tooacco company, tne Cremation Society's holding will give the tobacco company the control of this company which it has been seeking.

"Your directors naturally regret this result, which they do not consider to be in the interests of the cremation movement the more so as they were intending very shortly to circulate to shareholders details of the alternative scheme referred to in the last paragraph of the company's circular of August 12." Shareholders freed In the circumstances the directors felt that those shareholders who, up to now, had continued to give the board their support in the interests of the cremation movement," might regard themselves as free from any obligation to retain their shares. On the assumption that the tobacco company would extend the period for acceptance, shareholders who had not already accepted would probably decide to sell at the price offered, rather than remain as minority shareholders. The letter concludes In giving them this advice, the board would like to thank them once more for the loyalty to the company's interests which they have hitherto displayed." Mr H. D. E.

Carter, superintendent of Golders Green Crematorium and a director of the London Cremation Company, said yesterday that he had been approached by the Amalgamated Tobacco Corporation and had accepted its invitation to remain. Mr E. E. Mills, chairman of the Amalgamated Tobacco Corporation, said yesterday that there was no intention of a change of policy. "We bid for the cremation company as an investment.

We regard it as a sound one, but it is not our intention to change anything concerning Golders Green or Woking," he said. BOY ACCUSED OF KILLING WIDOW Found dead in shop A' boy, aged 15, was accused at Chatham juvenile court yesterday of the murder of Mrs Ada Margaret Arnold, aged 67, a widow, at her second-hand clothes shop in The Brook, Chatham, on Wednesday. The boy's stepfather stood by his side. Chief Inspector F. C.

Coe told the magistrate that at noon on Wednesday Mrs Arnold was found dead from head ln-inriiie. in hpr ahrwv Detective- Sergeant A. Weir said that he went with Detective-Constable J. H. Morgan to the boy's home, where he saw the boy in the presence of his mother.

"On the way to the, police vehicle the boy said, Will I go to prison I only hit her with the hammer. She was alive when I left the He later made a statement. The boy, who made no reply to the charge, was remanded in custody until Tuesday. His stepfather said that he had no objection to a remand to Canterbury Prison, and the- boy was granted legal aid. TWO STEELWORKS ON SHORT TIME Fall in orders blamed Two steel works yesterday announced that they were to introduce a four-day working week because of the shdr tage of orders.

The Appleby-Frodingham works at Scunthorpe is putting its roiling mills on a four-day working week from Sunday. This will bring the number of men on short-time at the Scunthorpe works to about four thousand a blast furnace idn the production side was taken off six months ago. The management said last night that, so long as they could maintain a four-day week no one would be discharged. Because of declining overseas orders, those departments of the Workington Iron and Steel Company which produce rails and fishplates will go on to a four-day week next month. Most of the 3,000 workers will, however, remain on full time.

RECOVERY OF 14,000 NECKLACE A young American couple made statements to Felixstowe police yesterday "about the necklace valued at 14,000, lost by Mrs Arthur Westa, of New York, which was recovered yesterday at Felixstowe. 'Later they saw an Ipswich solicitor. They refused to make any statement to reporters, except to confirm that they had made statements to the police concerning the necklace. It is thought that Mrs Westa, while on a visit to Worcestershire, left the necklace in a room of a Broadway hotel. ing to thefBritish Travel Association which had a photographer at work in "1 m'fei 01 shopping centre or draining awav its customers, shnn BacK-street snop Mr Roskill doubted whether the back- street shop would ever disappear, though it would continue to decline as our standard ol- livina aooroached more closely that of the American middle class.

"SERIOUS RISK OF EXPLOSION" Brewing ginger-beer -Members of two mineral-water firms at Chesterfield said yesterday -that the local practice of brewing ginger-beer at home gave rise to a serious' risk of explosion." Housewives use a piece of yeast popularly known as a ginger- beer plant to which is added water, sugar, and ginger. The resulting fluid is diluted with more water anri lemon juice and bottled. The yeast grows during the fermentation process and pieces or tne- plant are passed on to neighbours. Mr Roy Cresswell, manager of -the Co-operative Wholesale Society's mineral water depot at Chesterfield, said that there was a serious risk of explosion when the ginger beer was Douiea Because the pressure in the ooxue couia exceed tne maximum allowed in the trade.

In this form the III as it is now known, will carry out tests and development flights for the IV which is intended for use on express services carrying up to 102 passengers at speeds of as much as 545 on routes, varying in length from 400 to 2,500 miles.

And it is important to emphasise that it is for all such cars family models and estate cars included. Because all high compression engines respond to high-octane, highly anti-knock fuel like Super Shell.

Because Super Shell contains I.C.A. True, Super Shell is not the only high-octane fuel. But it is still unique. For, alone among very high-octane petrols, it contains an additive that corrects certain faults which become rapidly more serious as compression ratios rise. This additive incorporates tri-cresyl-phosphate, and is known as I.C.A.

In full, Ignition Control Additive. It has been patented for Shell's exclusive use since 1954. Because I.C.A. fireproofs engine deposits As you know, all petrols leave deposits in the combustion chambers. When your engine becomes hot these deposits glow and fire the mixture too soon.

Slight pre-igriition of this kind wastes power, and therefore money. Severe pre-ignition can do serious harm to your engine particularly to gaskets and pistons. I.C.A. is the answer to this. It combines with the deposits, fireproofs them, and makes sure that the mixture fires at exactly the right time.

Result noticeably smoother running. Because I.C.A. insulates engine deposits Untreated deposits are far too good conductors of electricity. So much so that when they build up on your spark plugs they can short-circuit the current completely. Arid then no spark, misfire, and your engine's Prt-lfTiltion.

IRON SHOT FOUND IN STEAM SYSTEM Calder Hall inquiry The board of inquiry into the turbogenerator accident at Calder Hall nuclear power station on' June 28 has found that the cause was the failure of two valves to function automatically. The board's report, which, according to the Atomic Energy Authority, has now been completed, says that examination of the valves showed that parts of them, had been scratched and scored by solid particles which were subsequently identified as fragments of chilled-iron shot which had found their way into the steam system. The board was satisfied that the valve system as designed could be expected to meet conditions normally arising during the operation of plant of this -type, and under those conditions to preserve the ability of the two valves to function independently.

In the circumstances of the accident, however, this independence was last. The report went on While, the board recognised that they had unable to establish fully how shot came to be in the steam system under the strict conditions which had been set down to prevent it, they felt bound to recommend that in order to avoid future accidents of a similar nature additional precautions' should be taken to ensure that hard materials, where these were known to he used, did not enter or remain in the system." There was no release of radioactivity, "the report added, and the reactor was not nut in any danger.
