r.ELIC OF JERUSALEM TEMPLE DISCLOSED. A small chipping, which came from the Temple at Jerusalem, and let into the stone step in front of the altar at Keyworth Church, was one of the many interesting features rtevealed to member of the Society for Archaeological Excavation in Nottingham, when they made a tour of this ancient Notts. Church to-day. Mr. D.

A. T. Hughes, the guide and commentator, said there was very little doubt that there had been a church in Keyworth since Norman times. The registers dated from 1653 and contained some interesting entries, such as that relating to a special collection in 1673 For a fire nere ye Tower, London (120 houses burnt) There was, he explained, one permanent feature actually in the church which was, without doubt, a survivil from Norman times This was the font, and there was also in the Rectory garden a Holy Water Stoup which appeared to be of Norman MTNFR IN.HRTD. Andrew Gough, 55, of 365, Heanorroad, Ilkeston, was admitted to the Nottingham General Hospital last night with a leg injury, received when a fall of stone occurred at Shipley Colliery.

H. M. Scat liftsaid that he could not find a semblance of an alleged conscientious objection on Saunders's part.

it Saunders now told the magistrates: I have committed no crime. I have done no more than attempt to defend what I consider to be my rights and liberties." It was reported that he was fined £5 and £2 lis. costs at Uckfield in April for failing to register. When the penalties were announced, Mr. Scatliff observed: "That decision will be a matter of some satisfaction to the local population.

This man has been openly bragging that he would not register or submit himself for examination." Refused Medical Examination. At Bournemouth to-day, Raymond Archibald Finn, 23, described as a social worker, of Bournemouth, was sentenced to six months' hard labour for failing to submit himself for medical examination. On Thursday he had been fined £2 for failing to comply with a notice. He was then ordered to be kept in custody, and taken to Southampton for examination. Evidence was given to-day that at Southampton yesterday he refused to be examined.

Finn said that he was a pacifist, and had a conscientious objection to being medically examined.

SUNNY TRAIL WINS AT SALISBURY Hasty Shot Unplaced In Shrewton Plate Backers went astray in the Shrewton Piate, which began racing at Salisbury to-day, when they followed the early market move for Lord Astor's Hasty Shot, and installed the colt a hot favourite. Hasty Shot, a son of the unbeaten Banrarn, ran well for 4i furlongs, but he had never seen a racecourse before and his inexperience told when the pace was fully turned on in the last hundred yards.

He just failed to gain a place Harry ragg won a little cleverly on Sunny Trail, which in his only previous race had finished fourth, beaten about a dozen length by the King's smart two-year-old, Big Game. Quartier Maitre, which had disappointed in important races this season including the Lincolnshire Handicap, was successful, at his seventh attempt of the year, the Cranbourne Handicap His starting price of 10 to 1 indicated that he was not so well fancied to-day as on most other occasions, but he scored cleverly in the hands of T. H. Car ev Hyland Brume challenged on the outside in the last fur.ong. He struggled with the utmost gameness.

but Quartier Maitre stayed on to resit him by half a length. The Druid, who deposed Hvlond Brume as favourite, ran with his "usual prominence, only to fail when pressure was applied in the last furlong al rV Wh ich had not finished in the first three in his four previous races scored under bottom weight in the Angus Nursery. His owner, Lord Glanelv. was present, and the horse wa quietly fancied in a Keen betting race. The Constellate colt and Rostrum, the two best backed, appeared likely to fight out the finish when they made their efforts below the distance Rostrum soon mastered the unnamed youngster, but Royal Olory despite swerving away from the rails, had too much speed for him in the closing stages.

Menzies's leadership at this hour of domestic crisis and national peril have been paid by Sir Earle Page, Australian Minister of Commerce, and Mr. Hughes, Navy Minister. "At the most critical hour of our history a way out has been found," declared Sir Earle Page. "To break and paralysing Parliamentary deadlock we need the driving forces of the best men of all parties. 1 Mr.

Menzies took a statesmanlike course which must win the admiration of every Australian." Mr. Hughes said: "Mr. Menzies has shown himself very much a man. "He has put aside personal and party considerations. His statesmanlike proposals will ensure the stability, now sadly lacking, and without which Australia's maximum effort is impossible." It is announced that the Labour caucus will consider Mr.

Menzies's offer a na tne seats in his Cabinet on ru Ug 6th and Parliament will meet the toi lowing day. Opinion in non-party circles is that 1 the Labour decision will lead to a general election.

He commenced with a boundary, but his stay was brief, Cox (Sussex) catching him off the bowling of Phillipson with the score 15. The Airmen met with a second important success a little later when a beautiful length ball from Matthews shattered Leyland's wicket. The Army were without Hutton, and Ames was unable to appear for the R.A.F.

The association of Robertson and Peter (Essex) improved the position until the formers wicket was secured by Howoith with the total 62. bringing off a smart piece of stumping. When Nichols snicked ai baM into the hands of Gibb at 83 a confident appeal was upheld. At lunch the score was 120 for four Smith being not out 41 and Sellers not out Smith reached 50 with a snick off Howorth, but that bowler almost immediately took revenge, while Sellers did not survive much longer, and six wickets were down for 151.

THE EDITOR'S LETTER-BAG Comradeship Of Small Traders shopkeepers are under severe economic pressure, lam aware, and traders know only too well, that restrictions are necessary, and normal trading relations are obviously impossible. My protest, however, is not against wartime regulations as such, but because advantage is taken of the present situation by big businesses.

Small traders are the backbone of a free, independent and efficient State. They are just as honest as the combines and monopolists, not more servile, possibly more courteous, certainly more human. They keep alive healthy competition and "a spirit of comradeship. Humanity has too little hance in big business. It is otherwise the small trader.

When times go bad he, his family, and his staff pull themselves out together by effort and sacrifice shared as comrades in a druggie. H. E. TURNER. Carrington.

WATER AND THE HOE In a recent speech to the Nottingham Rotary Club an expert made the assertion that it was a gardening crime to use water as a stimulant for tomatoes, as only the continued use of the hoe was necessary. Lest the public should assume that the profession was unanimous on the matter, I would like to challenge the statement. The fact that 3,000 tomato grown outside under the care of continued expert supervision should produce of fruit, averaging 51b. per plant is surely not remarkable. Had it been possible during the July drought to have given them copious draughts of water coupled with mulching with a good organic manure, the yield would have been far greater.

It is a fallacy to assume that a parched garden, even though well hoed, could produce a good yield. I know full well that a garden full of dahlias grown with the use of the hoe only compares very badly with a garden well watered and mulched. JOHN G. BACON. 64 Sherwin-road, Lenton.

According to reliable information, it has been found that so-called "benevolent funds," which included winter help funds, were handed to the German Embassy and used in part for subsidising the newspaper Pampero." Some of the money was remitted to Germany and to German prisoners in Australia and the Netherlands Indies. Press reports state that yon Thermann, the German Ambassador, who has protested against the arrests, received sums of 600,000 pesos, 100,000 pesos and 120,000 pesos for purposes which are being investigated.

NOTTM. AIRMAN'S DEATH. PILOT WHO WAS AWARDED THE D.F.M. News has been received of the death in action of Pilot Evered Arthur R. Leavers, D.F.M., only son of Mrs.

J. Leavers, of 111, Beeston-road, Nottingham. Pilot Leavers was reported missing, believed killed, on June 16th. but his death has just been confirmed. A native of Nottingham, Pilot Leavers, who was 24, joined the R.A.F.

Volunteer Reserve in 1939. Prior to being called up at the outbreak of war he was employed at Messrs. Boots at Beeston. He served in the Bomber Command, being captain of his aircraft, and for a short time was in Malta. He was awarded I the D.F.M.

in April, and the citation accompanying this award stated that Sergt. Leavers, as he then was, and Sergt. Overheu were pilot and observer respectively in an aircraft which persisted in an attack on a large enemy convoy. In the face of heavy A.A. fire, Sergt.

Leavers displayed great determination and tactical ability, which enable Sergt. Overheu to score two direct hits on a large ship. In March this year the two men successfully attacked an enemy destroyer, pressing home their attack from a low level. Sergt. Leavers machine-gunned the decks.

He completed many operational missions, and was commended for his outstanding work. £250 FOR CIGARETTES. PLAYER'S GYMKHANA COMMITTEE'S GIFT. The contribution of £252 2s. to the Sheriff of Nottingham's Cigarette Fund, handed over to-day from the committee of Players' Gjmkhana on Bank Holiday, was the largest individual contribution this year.

The effort resulted in £1.000 being donated to charities, as follows: £250 each to the Sheriff's Cigarette Fund, Players' Comfort's Fund, and the Red Cross Society; £100 to the Women's Hospital; £75 Children's Hospital; £25 to Gordon Boys' Home; £20 each to the vicar of St. Margaret's, Aspley, and Nazareth House: and £10 to the Ruddington Red Cross Convalescent Home. Presenting the cheque at the Council House to-day, Mr. George Green, chairman of the Gymkhana Committee, said that the whole of the effort was voluntary so far as organisers and helpers were concerned. But for the inclement weather the result would have been considerably enhanced.

Mr. Green was accompanied by Mrs. Green, Mr. G. A.

Newell (secretary) and Mr. L. A. Weston (treasurer). The Sheriff, in expressing thanks, hoped to get another quarter of a million cigarettes before his term of office expired.
