The course, entitled "An Advanced Management Seminar," is open to senior managers between the ages of 28 and 50 who are actively engaged in industry, commerce and government administration.

The object is stated to be to "develop more general management qualities among mature executives by widening their understanding of current management and business issues." The students, limited to 25, will be sponsored by their firms or government departments, and will hear lectures from university staff and industrial representatives on such subjects as "Sources company finannce," Export competition and The relationship of government with industry." Aid for JPs too Manchester University Extra-Mural Department has just ended a residential course for magistrates. About thirty of them, from different part of the country, have spent a week at Holly Royde College in Palatine Road, listening to lectures and discussing the Office of Magistrate." Dr Gordon Rose, who organised the course, said that his intention was to give the students some knowledge of the fundamentals of their work: law and court procedure, the causes and treatment of crime, and the work of the social services and their relationship with the courts. Usually, magistrates know little or nothing about these matters when they are first appointed," he stated. They can have a hard time trying to pick things up from other magistrates as they go along. It is most important that they should be helped, because they have to make decisions particularly if they are sitting in a juvenile court which can have a serious effect on other people's lives.

"It has been' repeatedly stated that lay magistrates should receive proper training for their responsibilities. But in some parts of the country, little has been done about this. Magistrates from all over are telling me that they've received hardly any instruction." Dr Rose says that some clerks play an extremely important part in the education of the magistrates they work with, and he believes that their efforts should be supplemented by residential courses similar to those he has been running in Manchester since 1957. Experience of this course has convinced me -that the training of magistrates is badly needed, and should be organised, perhaps, by some central body: One cannot expect a clerk to have the requisite experience to be a good teacher of adults, although some are very good. Adult education experts must do all they can." 5,000 to be offered for campus design Liverpool University is to offer in a few days a prize of 5,000 in an open competition for the design of a campus for 2,000 men and women students.

The university is to spend 11 millions on the project, which will include six halls of residence on a 25-acre wooded site on Mossley Hill. The design will be on ultra modern -lines, with shops, hairdressing salons, games rooms, public house, and other facilities on the lines of a model students' village.

He is putting in a great deal of time to master the car's non-drift characteristics, and his shortlived gerformance In the machine at the ritish Grand Prix at Aintree last month was a spectacle worth seeing repeated on the slower Oulton circuit. There will be much sympathy again with Moss, whose slender chance of wresting the 1961 world championship from the hands of a Ferrari driver disappeared in the Italian Grand Prix yesterday with the victory of Phil Hill.

Even had Hill not won yesterday Moss would have had little chance in view of the cancellation of the Morocco Grand Prix, due to have been held in November. The possible cancellation of the American Grand Prix, too, means that the Italian race may be the last of this year's championship series. Although the major rallies are less prone to cancellation at short notice their promoters are not without thdir troubles. The Liverpool and Bolton-le-Moors car clubs, for example, are under heavy fire from competitors over the number of gates included in the Jeans Gold Cup Rally and the Bolton Rally. RAC stewards penalise drivers for spinning at Aintree The dog days are over.

The troupers are returning from the seaside resorts and the repertory companies are starting a new season. The worst of the summer problems of the reps should now be solved what to play for the next fifty-two weeks. Critics who find their choice obvious and dull more often than not should draw up their own list and then discover what is available to reps and what is acceptable to the theatre managements. Oldham Repertory Theatre for example, wants to present Pinter's "The is awaiting permission. A touring company recently brought it to the Manchester area but although this would Erobably rule it out for the Manchester ibrary Theatre Oldham considers itself far enough away not to be affected.

In drawing up its list for the new season, Oldham first of all considers such obvious choices as new plays recently seen in the West End and now available to "reps." Then it broods over which plays would be worthwhile reviving would it be a good year for a revival of Shaw, for example But even with the old and the new included, that will probably still leave a few vacancies. The Oldham club is willing to read any new play sent to it and work on it with the author if there is the slightest sign of promise. But it gets few manuscripts submitted, and if there are any local dramatists left who would think they would get a production if only a management would read their play, here is the place to send it. A hopeful development seemed to be the co-operation between the Granada television company and the Oldham club. Granada tried out two new plays at Oldham, which enabled its drama department to see them in production Labour choice for Chesterfield Mr Eric Varley, aged 29, the nominee of the Derbyshire branch of the NUM.

is now almost certain to become the parliamentary Labour candidate for Chesterfield. The local branch of the AEU announced at the weekend that it would support Mr Varley for the nomination. Mr Varley has already secured 130 of the 340 votes on the selection committee. The AEU controls a further 51. The seat is at present held for Labour by Sir George Benson with a majority of 13,450 at the last election.

He is to retire at the end of this session. comparatively cheaply, and also provided Oldham with two new plays and a lot of free publicity. But this experiment has not developed. A spokesman at Oldham says Granada has asked them if they are still interested and they have replied they are, but a Granada spokesman said there was no plans for new productions in the foreseeable future." This is disappointing because there is so little work being done combining the theatre and television. They have yet to work out a profitable relationship.

The theatre has profited financially from several grants (athough it has lost some of its customers to television), but this is not as altruistic as it seems, for television uses the theatre as a rich recruiting ground for its actors and other artists. It helps; fitselfi by helping theiJthjqslre. But thenwayyjone can help thfejjfher artistically has yet to be explorjSj, Broadway musical The cinema had a strong the theatre's technique of telling' story and the effect of the theatre on the cinema's development was obvious from the beginning. What then is to be the effect of television, and the theatre on one another Perhaps the new Chair of Drama at Manchester University, which Granada endowed; may find this a profitable field to explore certainly it will find it, almost a virgin field. Among the repertory companies starting their new season next week will be the Manchester Library' Theatre which is presenting Harold Pinter's The Birthday Party," which first established him in the theatre.

It is a horror play in mundane terms a breakdown in understatement. The Library Theatre has fewer problems in choosing its plays because it has three-week runs, but it has more theatrical competition than Oldham.

The American comedian, Phil Silvers, played the role on Broadway.

Because the Whitworth Gallery houses the executives and the annual exhibition of the Red Rose Guild of Craftsmen, it is also indirectly connected with one little publicised event this week, when work by members of the guild will be auctioned at the Engineers Club, Manchester, on Thursday evening. The auction is a first step towards funds for a permanent Red Rose display centre in Manchester. The artist-craftsman's problem is letting people know he exists, and all too often a man with a commission in mind has no idea where to turn. A display centre is the obvious solution. source for funds and staff is less immediately obvious that craftsmen are willing to give their work is some indication of the importance of the step from their point of view.

The statements, as reported, give a misleading impression.

The statement that Lancashire had turned down ITV approaches for a schools' service" is inaccurate. As we are informed, the Lancashire Education Committee has done no such thing. It is at present conducting an experiment in the use of television in a limited number of schools. A report on the educational aspects of the experiment is to be presented to the committee in about six months' time. Your readers and the councillors of Westhoughton may be interested to interested to know that over and above these schools there are, for example, 37 grammar schools in the Lancashire administrative area who have been or are viewing our programmes either on their own sets or on sets provided under the Granada loan scheme.

The provision of programmes for Secondary Modern Schools and Primary Schools in the area is too recent for figures to be available. Yours truly, Joseph Weltman, Head of Schools Department. Granada Television. Manchester. 3, September 8.

The old complaint that navigators dislike, particularly on wet nights, hopping in and out to open and close gates is now reinforced by the further objection that gates discourage the use of safety belts. Cross Keys rally The West Lancashire Motor Club is organising its third annual Cross Keys Rally at the weekend. The event will be run over OS maps 101, 110, and 111, and the clubs invited are the BARC, Fylde Motor Sports Group, the Chorley and Lancashire automobile clubs, the Liverpool, St Helens.

Also next Sunday the Knowldale club is promoting a restricted sprint meeting at Burscough Aerodrome, near Ormskirk, which is open to all members of the Association of Northern Car Clubs. The course is just over a mile in length and the 10 classes cater for all types of machines from small tourers to Formula Libre racing cars.

Done (Nantwlchl 250 DoL There is another station two miles from Tewkesbury at the village of Aschurch which by virtue of being on a main line will remain open for passengers, and the commission has promised that it will append "for Tewkesbury" to the name, of the station (meaning that people can travel from there by busl.

This hnwpvDv lie consolation to Tewkesbury because, as Councillor Workman complained Tewkesbury would still not be in the timetable." The answer in his and the council's opinion is to call tile village station Aschurch and Tewkesbury, or preferably Tewkesbury and Aschurch." Councillor Workman denied that the precedence given to Tewkesbury in the preferred suggestion might offend the dignity of Aschurch. The council has sent its suggestion for preserving its place and status in the train timetable to the commission and is now waiting to hear what it thinks about them. Meanwhile, it has fairly widespread support including that of the Rector of Upton-on-Severn, the Rev. R. Craze, who says that it is one thing to have no trains and quite another to be struck out of the railway timetable for ever." AT THE CINEMA Ballet gimmick again MODERN WIGGLING AND TRADITIONAL To describe "Black Tights," which opened yesterday at the ABC, Deansgate, as threadbare would be accurate but less than the whole truth, for it has many colourful and well designed sets which make it always pleasant to look at.

It consists of four stories, which, as four distinct ballet sequences, are knitted urbanely, but not very successfully together by Maurice Chevalier into 129 minutes of celluloid tapestry. Design apart, "Black Tights" Is very lightly blessed with talent or imagination. The stories Cyrano de Bergerac and Carmen are familiar; The Diamond Cruncher and A Merry Mourning are new are not related in any way. This incompatibility is emphasised unnecessarily because, in addition to credit titles at the start, each of the four films ends with a list of the principal members of the cast and production team. The whole film is advertised as being "by Roland Petit," and as he also appears in it, his name comes ud ahnut pip-m tlmm It seems that matters have got reversed in this film, Instead.

76f and finding that it needed ballet to tell it properly, the director, producer, and Mr Petit seem to have decided that we are now sufficiently far away from "Red Shoes" to try the ballet gimmick again, and found some old bones and invented some new skeletons on which to hang the new and. unfortunately, synthetic flesh. It perhaps ought to be said here that "Hamlet" was no new thing to Shakespeare, but he, unlike Mr Petit, had something to say. Crude cutting Although the separate stories are themselves so truncated, and at times the cutting is decidedly crude, that what little plot there is is lost, Black Tights" offers a pleasant evening's entertainment. The dancing is a mixture of modern wiggling and traditional ballet.

Zizi Jeanmaire, as a fairy story heroine who likes to eat diamonds, and as Carmen, gives animated performances, but neither Moira Shearer nor Cyd Charisse as Roxane in Cyrano and the widow in A Merry Mourning, produce especially memorable dancing or acting.

Sophia foren won the Best Actress Award at Cannes this year for her portrayal of the mother and greater praise is now being spoken of as a successor to Anna Magnani as Italy's greatest dramatic actress. Grotesque The film examines the relationship between mother and daughter through the trials thrown up as the Germans retreat and the Allies advance. The crisis in the relationship comes when the two women are raped by Allied troops and the mother-child association has suddenly to be replaced by love based on the particular needs of the mother and daughter as individuals, not members of the same family.
