Roache at Manchester Cathedral yesterday for the Violet Carson memorial service. Fond farewell to Violet Carson By CHARLES HENN JOYFUL music and oration set the mood service for Violet Carson where she was baptised, married almost half-acentury ago and often went to worship.

About 500 people gathered to say a fond farewell to the versatile artist who died two months ago aged 85 and whose career was extended to 65 years by her legendary as the abrasive Ena Sharples in "Coronation Street on television. The congregation ranged from Lord Bernstein, president of Granada Television. a woman in her seventies who said: Don't mind me. luv, but she was a good friend." William Roache who. like Miss Carson, appeared in the saga's first episode late in 1960, gave the address.

He told of her timeconsuming and tiring charity appearances and of how she cared for people who came humble environments similar to those of her childhood, born within the sound of the cathedral bells. Miss Carson was the president of Manchester's Sharp Street Ragged School, now a boys' club and Sunday school, and a member, Alan Brown, 16, read a passage from a speech delivered by Professor Idris Parry at Manchester University when she received her honorary Master of Arts degree in 1973. Mr Roache recalled that the problem of casting the part of Ena proved so difficult that the producers had seriously considered writing the character out of the series.

And in that first episode one of the great WAY OF THE WORLD WORLD Prince Kevin, King Norman's second son, which is, if that is possible, even more meagre, it that is not exaggerating, than the love-life of Prince Barry of South Wales. They are demanding the Right to an Answer. Prince Kevin, who served in the Leafleting Division of the Royal Socialist Anti-nuclear Air Force but was discharged after he was found eating the leaflets he was supposed to be distributing, is now 27. Persistent attempts by the Press to fabricate romantic attachments for him have been foiled by the curious fact that whenever they try to photograph him in the company of girls. however unattractive, the figure which appears in the developed photograph always turns out to be Duke Len of Edrington, whose omnivore pour les femmes IS often discussed at length in the French Sunday papers.

Time and that ton 50 or 60. enough of romance chinked He may be unattractive to girls but at least he's better at housework than Barry. I shall never forget that day in the Council Palace when I left Barry to Hoover the lounge and found he'd got that Elaine, one of Len's stuck by her da foot in the nozzle.

Talk about language." Next week the Sunday Defective, undeterred and still desperately trying to satisfy its readers, carried a long story headlined "Kev's Heart-throb: the Real Thing at Last?" But something had gone wrong again. The accompanying photograph, which should have shown Prince Kevin standing in a bus queue next to a stumpylooking, balding, bespectacled teacher, Linda Gnomes, 21, showed Duke Len standing outside his Canvey Island "caravan love 99 with his latest en titre, trainee hairdresser Yvonne Pedestal. 23.

A Long Farewell TN their crazed search for oil, prospectors are boring holes all over the South of England from Sussex to Dorset. Some of the people who live there are running an expensive campaign against this encroaching horror.

So far they have managed but for how long to save Ashdown Forest in East Sussex where the County Council has refused permission to bore. But the oil company Conoco is applying for licences to explore three other sites, along the South Downs. If permission is refused, the company can appeal to the Secretary of State for the Environment. But those who object have no right of appeal. In such cases as this, representatives of oil companies always try to reassure the people at public meetings that their operations will be carried out in a tasteful way, that most of them purely exploratory and thatre when they finished they will put everytidily back as they found it.

At one such meeting, villagers accused representatives of Conoco of 66 putting profits before conservation." This is painfully comical. What on earth do they expect oil companies to do? Conservation areas that have been designated of Outstanding Natural Beauty by the Countryside Commission all this dressed-up, official language is vaguely repulsive. What the victims of commerce and technology really mean is that they would like some parts of what was once the English countryside, in particular the parts they live in themselves, to remain recognisable as such. If only it could be so But barring a miracle, their hopes are vain, And the' very idea of classifying and designating certain parts of England as worth preserving and leaving the rest to be exploited at will makes the whole concept of the countryside" absurd. the Countryside Commission a leaden term for a leaden thing will eventually preside over will be no countryside.

Commitment A PART of a course Youth under the Government's Training Scheme young people at the Trowbridge College of Further Education have been made to walk about the streets with cotton wool in their ears, pretending to be deaf, to play with Lego bricks, stand on chairs in alphabetical order, slither down steep rock faces and play various party games. A Youth Training Expert writes: It is surprising that several people in responsible positions, including an MP, should have criticised this as a waste of public money." All these exercises have obvious relevance to youth training as to life in general. Some experts believe everybody did a course of exercises of this sort the world would be a better and happier place. Pretending to be deaf, so that you cannot hear what people are saying to you, raises inner consciousness and teaches selfreliance as well as a caring attitude to those who are really deaf.

Standing on chairs in alphabetical order is invaluable training for people who tend to forget their own names. It improves the sense of identity in people who are uncertain who they really are. Ideally, young people on these courses should slither down rock faces in alphabetical order with cotton wool in their ears, at the same time playing with Lego bricks and, possible, holding chairs which they can stand on they reach the bottom. It is to be hoped that future courses of a more advanced type will incorporate these and other activities computer such as elementary programming and hunt in a combined exercise which will ensure a thoroughgoing commitment to life in a very real sense.
