Mr. Pascoe thought the driver of this car would stop at the entrance to the major roid, but he drove straight on across the road, causing Mr. Pascoe to brake suddenly to avoid a collision. P.C. Keefe, who was standing nearby, saw what happened and requested Mr.

Pascoe to follow the other car and ask the driver to stop. Mr. Pascoe did so and when the police constable to Prince (defendant adopted a most offensive attitude. P.C. Keefe said when he spoke to Prince, defendant replied am going to report you for exceeding your duty by sending another driver to follow and stop me.

ANNUAL MEETING AT EXETER "Thanks to the Creche, I can clean out the bedrooms on Friday afternoon instead of having to leave them till Sunday mornings when my husband is homo to take the children off my This comment is typical of the feelings of n-any grateful mothers who send their children to the Burnthouae-lane Creche, which is held each Friday in the Mission Hall. The Creche has been in existence just over a year and, in that short time, the attendance ba.

risen from one baby, the sole guest the first week, to an average attendance of fourteen youngsters, with a peak figure twenty-three The aim of the Creche is to provide a safe place where mothers may leave their children for a few houra on Friday afternoons so that they can do their shopping or get on with their housework without interruption. A band of helpers, skilled and experienced in child management, the majority being themselves mothers, take care of the children, organising games for the toddlers and seeing that the tiny babies do not (ret. Toys are provided and in the summer the gardens are gay scene with happy sunburnt kiddies playing on the lawns. The first annual meeting of the Creche was held last night at Exeter House, Field by permission of the bon. secretary, Mrs.

Temkin. The minutes of the last general meeting were read and approved, as was the report. After the nomination and election of officers and committee for the forthcoming year, a general discussion on future policy followed Mrs. Dunkerley felt that much greater use coula be made of the Creche by mothers. It was the same mothers who brought their children week after week.

It was obvious by their continued attendance that they appreciated the opportunity for a few hour, freedom which the Creche provided, but ii was rather disappointing more mothers did not follow suit. Temkin thought that if only mothers would visit the Creche and see for themselves tha their kiddies were well cared for and that their babies were not simply left to cry. she felt sure they would be only too gla I of the extra leisure the Creche could ve them, Mrs. P. A.

Smithells reported that a group of Exeter mothers had formed a Nursery Schools Committee and were hoping to run a Nursery School in conjunction with the Creche.

Marshall at the annual licensn meeting of me Ottery St. Mary Division, held at Oitery Town Hall today, and presided over by Sir Archibald Bodkin.

Supt. Marshall stated that there 39 lollylicensed bouses, 7 beer bouses, beer and wine licences, and 7 wine, apirit and beer licences, making a total of 65. This was one fully hcenseu bouse more than in Balfour Arms," one beer house leas than in 1937. "The Globe Sidmoutb, being closed on the grounds of redundancy. The population of the licensing district according to the figures of the last ccusui was 15,451.

which gave one licence to every 280 persona. One resident female proceeded against for drunkenness during the year, and she was convicted and fined This was a decrease of three on the previous year. No licensee had been proceeded against during the year, but one was cautioned for permitting bit premises to be used for illegal betting. Biz licences were transferred, as against three in 1937. Twenty-three occasional licences and 34 extenaions of permitted hours were granted during the year.

There were aix registered clubs in the division, the same number as in 1937. All the licensed bouses had been conducted satisfactorily during the year, and he knew of no reason for onjecling to the renewal of any of the licences. The Chairman, in commenting on the satisfactory nature of the police report, said that bearing in mind the enormous influx ol visitors in the summer time, it was a credit to the division that there bad been only one case of drunkenness reported, md he (the chairman) hoped the report next year would be equally aa good. Mr. A.

McGahey, of Exeter, applied for the renewal of all licences. The Chairman announced that all licences would be renewed, with the exception of the Commerce House, Ottery St. the consideration of the renewal of which would be postponed until the adjourned annual meeting. Mr. H.

Davies (Sidmoutb) asked for the renewal of Summer Time extension. Similar applications, he stated, bad been granted for the last six years and the superintendent'e report showed conclusively that the privilege had not been abused. The Chairman said the application would be granted the same as last year. LATE MAJOR H. W.

DOMESTIC SERVANTS AND THE NATIONAL REGISTER Some doubt having arisen in regard to the poeition of domestic servants under the national register, a ruling has been obtained on the point. This, the Express and Echo is informed, points out that the care of children is nearly as valuable work as nursing, and that any domestic sonant who is willing to help take care of children who may be billeted in the house where she is working should enrol fo- that purpose at the Exeter Office of Voluntary Service for Civil Defence. Watcrbocr-street, and the work will count as her national service. The Exeter office is open this week from 11.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m.
