NEWCASTLE JOURNAL AND NORTH MAIL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, 1942 NEW AIR ROUTE BAULKS JAPS and North Mai Somewhere in Australia, a trate declared aim of i prepared by Qantas Empire Airways. Hudson Fysh. managing director, told me about it to-dav on my way through Sydney to Brisbane.

Empire Airways, like British he said, suffering from a shortage of equipment. We have only two of our original nine Empire-type flying boats in service, but our pilots and air crews are heorioally carrying on. we receive new aircraft soon, however, we may, like British Airways be forced to close down. are ready to open a new route to Australia. This will replace the Singapore route, temporarily cut.

have the pilots and air crews, and ground staff available, and if we are only allotted two flying-boats of suitable range w-e can open this route at The types required are American Catalina boats, which have a range a good pay up to 3.000 miles, which is ample for the new projected route. From WILLIAM COURTENAY I Special Correspondent. SYDNEY, new air route which will frussolating Australia, has been VITAL PERSONNEL If opened, then mails now taking as long to reach England as in the sailing ships of 80 years ago. can proceed rapidly bv air, outwitting the submarine and surface raider if attacked. Something must be done quickly by the Air Ministry about this, or the flag of civil aviation on Empire routes, which have been operated for 20 years by the British and Qantas air concerns, will sink beneath the waves of war.

Also, staffs with golden experience will be discharged and this priceless heritage will be lost to the Pan-American Airways; who -ere still functioning on the ocean and Empire routes. keeping the essential services going and who will command skill and personnel, in the air and on the ground on the close of the war. to run on all the great oceans of the British Empire. They are doing a grand job and it is unwise, as well as unfair, to expect them to carry all the air services In war time. It should be possible to give priority to a few flying and air liners from American, production for our air service.

Child Hanged en a Swing The Coroner. Mr. P. M. Dodds, at an inquest at Mickley yesterday, on Francis Derek Baron, aged 16 months, of Dene House.

Eltringham, returned a verdict of from asphyxia, following dislocation of the neck by falling on to a rope Mrs. Elizabeth Ellen Baron said that she found the boy in the garden hanging over a rope swing by the neck. It was a single rope swing and had no mat on the seat. Dr. Moat said there were definite marks on the throat and right side of the neck, which was dislocated.

The father of the child. Pte. George Baron, is serving at Malta. Wider Schooling Is Aimed At School reorganisation should be one of the main aims of educational policy, said Mr. R.

A. Butler, President of the Board of Education, at York yesterday. he added, grouping the older children into a school in which they can receive advanced training. It often involves taking senior children from Church schools as well as Council schools and offering them all one greater and wider He cited Earswick Senior School (at the opening of which he was speaking) os an example oi how old difficulties could be surmounted. Pupils had been taken from five voluntary schools and denominational religious teaching was being maintained although the new school was not under Church o- England trusts.

Guns Fire 3 Tons A Minute Whilst the Ministry of Works and Buildings are going all out to collect their second million tons of scrap metal, their intensive county drives are being speeded up all centres. Already ten counties have had these drives. Work has been started in another ten. desperate need for more scrap metal is proved by the War Office statement which informs us that whenever a 3.7 antiaircraft gun goes into action it fires 3 tons of ammunition in one to 2 tons 50cwt.

of scrap an official of the Ministry of Works told a and North reporter. the war we imported more than 500,000 tons of iron ore each year, all of which must now- come from our own country through the salvaging of scrap metal We must also take into consideration the greater extent to which metal is used in wartime. Great news comes from Tu ol leir even greater efforts rn the metal and rubber drives. They have already contributed tons of scrap metal. In Peebles the Brigade collected a mllp of iron keys which ac ed edge to edge and stretched right down the main ad The Scouts side of the road Wl th a quarter of a mile of toy motor tyres to those of heavy- lorries, hose pipes, and other rubber articles.

Girl Guides helped the collecting old rubber from the local hospital. Peebles school children also invaded the River Tweed for ail its scrap metal. They were soon liauling out i. of mp tal and old tyres which had been in the river for tears and been preserved through under water. In the parts oi he river where it was too deep for wading the children wore their swimming costumes.

North Soldier Bad Record At Richmond yesterday, Stanley Gennever a soldier, said to have spent the greater part of his service in civilian and military prisons, was sentenced to six hard labour He pleaded guilty to stealing £3O in notes, a gold watch and cheque book, of the total value of £6O. from ti Head Hotel, Richmond, on June 27. They were left in a cas? on a chair in a bedroom by John Brown, taxi proprietor, who lives at the hotel. Gennever was absent from his unit on the day of the theft. Returning the following day.

Constable Milner, of Catterick. ho was commended by the magistrates, interviewed Gennever. The constable noticed one of tunic pockets was bulky, and £l6 in notes in a case and £1 2s. lOd. in another pocket and a gold watch were recovered.

Gennever had twice previously been sentenced at Richmond for stealing, and at Chesterfield he was sentenced to one hard labour by court martial for theft.

RYE MAY BE ADDED TO BREAD FLOUR Mr.

R. S. Hudson, Minister of Agriculture, of Agriculture in London yesterday that we having regard to shipping, if we get through the next two years of war with only putting rye in our bread. The Duke of Norfolk, Joint Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Agriculture, had announced that it was possible that some rye flour might be included in national flour. The Government wanted to encourage the growing of rye and, in the coming season growers would be required to offer for sale all their rye, except what they required for seed, and 10 per cent, tailings for feed stock.

Speakers expressed doubt about the desirability of increasing rye production. I think we are already eating a deal of said Mr. Hudson: Increased quantities will be required, both of rye and oais. MILK RECORD A resolution was adopted assuring the Ministry of the hearty co-operation of the farming community, in attaining its 1942-43 programme. The resolution expressed the hope that particular encouragement would be given to the growth of rye and to the manufacture of rye and oat products.

Another resolution adopted was that growers of fruit and vegetables should save their produce for Winter use bv home drying. Mr. Hudson announced that, despite war-time difficulties. British farmers set up an all-time record in milk sales for June this year. The Council passed a resolution congratulating the Government on the success of its milk policy.

Whitby Pays Up Promptly The encouraging state of the rating account collection was revealed at Whitby Urban Council last night, by Councillor J. Hartley, chairman of the Finance Committee. Percentage of rates collected to end June, which was swollen by a substantial amount arrears, was 21 per cent, of the total due. the highest percentage, going back to peace time conditions. Electricity arrears In respect of the year showed better results than for some years past.

Figures reflected the spirit of a large proportion of the ratepayers and elfictricity consumers, who were doing their utmost to help the Council in war-time conditions. Quarterly financial statement of Bearpark branch of Northumberland and Durham Permanent Relief Fund showed income of £382, told the Council shall be lucky, Use Of Lodger's Costs Widow £9 Told by the Chairman of the Magistrates 1 Mr. John Charlton) that she had rendered herself liable to a fine of £3OO, Mrs. Annie Roddam, a 65-year-old widow', of Wesley Street. Prudhoe, at Hexham yesterday was fined a total of £6 on three charges of retaining and using another person's points ration book.

She was ordered to pay £3 7s. costs. For the Ministry of Food Mr. J. Thompson, of Newcastle, said that" when Mrs.

Roddam took a lodger on February 2 it was found that he had no points remaining in his ration book for the period ending February 8. The lodger remained for a month, during which time she used the whole of his points for the four weeks ending March 8. When the lodger left on March 3 he asked her for his ration book and she told him was at a He complained to the Prudhoe Food Office, and when he received his book the points for the period March 9 to April 5 had been used. Mr. N.

Muscat, of Newcastle, for Mrs. Roddam, pleaded that through the intricacies of the ration book system she had become a little confused about the periods covered. When the lodger went to her on February 2 all his points had been used, and she thought she was entitled to re-imburse herself with coupons when he left her a month later. Mr. John Charlton, the chairman of the magistrates, said that the Bench could not treat the offence lightly, for if the fraudulent use of points or the stealing of was allowed to continue It would lead to untold mischief.

act as one in battle explained the Prime Minister yesterday when he outlined in the House of Commons developments in aerial co-operation with land forces and in joint Army and R.A.F. training. The Prime Minister, who was replying to questions, said that joint training was already proceeding on a considerable scale, and was being continually extended with regular use both bomber and fighter squadrons and the employment of aircraft of Army Co-operation Command. Answering supplementary queries, Mr. Churchill indicated that it was necessary to attain a true course between not having enough aircraft attached to the infantry and keeping large masses of aircraft standing by for specialised functions.

He also told Captain Plugge Chatham) that the whole question of air-borne troops, including gliders and parachute troops, is under one organisation and is being studied as a whole. Major Charles Taylor Eastbourne) who raised the subject had earlier asked about operational control of aircraft in the Middle East. Mr. Churchill said that aircraft allocated to General Auchinleck were not under the direct command and continued. October 7.

The Army Commander-in- Chief will specify the targets and tasks ivhich he reguires to be performed both in the preparatory attack and during the battle. It will be for the Air Force Commander-in-Chief to use his maximum force for those objects in the manner most effective. This direction has been agreeable to both Services and has been in force ever added the Premier. There were cheers when Mr.

BelLenger Bassetlaw) suggested that it would be desirable lor the two Seivices to act in closer co-operation in battle and training than they were doing at present, and Mr. Churchill replied: a ye very carefully considered this matter, and taken a ea of different opinions, an the result.

Stewart, described as the ringleader in the series of thefts which involved three other employes of the company, had served the company for 23 years and was regarded as having been a good and satisfactory worker.

William Howard Robson (41), a lorry driver, of Malcolm Street. Newcastle, pleaded guilty to two charges of stealing, with Stewart, gas cookers, and was fined £lO on each charge. Harry Wood (52). a caretaker, of Crucible Place. Newcastle, also employed by the company as an emergency telephonist, pleaded guilty to the theft, with Stewart, of a gas boiler, and was fined £5.

Each of these three defendants had been in the employ of the Company for more tuan Hi years, and would, like Stewart, have been entitled to pensions at the retiring age of 65. Mr. JacKson said that in undertaking tnese prosecutions me Company was not in any way vindictive, out there had been so many thefts, not all of which had been traced, that no other course was open.

The accused had exploited the feeling of honesty which always existed between the Company and ns stah. In all tiie cases of theft Stewart, his capacity of storekeeper, had been able to issue instructions for the delivery of the cookers. The purchase moneys were shared, Stewart getting a larger share. Parents Censured by Coroner Recording a verdict of Death by at a Broomhill inquest yesterday upon Isabella, four-weeks-old daughter of John Pmchin, farm worker, and Catherine Ann Pinchin, of Cavil Head Farm Cottages, Acklington, the Coroner Mr. H.

J. Percy, added a rider of censure against both parents. The mother said on Sunday night she took the babv to bed with her. The child was sleeping on her arm and in the morning it was dead. She knew it was a dangerous practice to take the child to bed with her.

She added she had no cot. Asked why she did not let the baby sleep a box or basket, Mrs. Pinchin said she had not got one Pinchin also admitted that he knew it was dangerous to let the baby sleep with an adult.

Beef Cattle Plea Breeders of the beef breeds of cattle, while not actively relenting the publicity given to dairy cattle breeds are thinking that their class of cattle ought now to have an innings. Speaking states the Galloway Cattle Society, the wartime policy has tended to encourage milk production at the expense of the beef breeds.
