prepared to wait although not perhaps to wait Twice he was refused planning permission for residential development on the land and an application to build two filling stations was also rejected But when in 1972 he asked Beaconsfield District Council for permission to build himself a bungalow' he offered to pull down the farmhouse on his land once the bungalow was erected He said he knew that if he did not do that he would not be given permission to build the said the judge Permission was granted on condition he demolished the farmhouse Round lost FPHE Ancient Monuments Board has told the Vin-dolanda Trust that more cae is needed in techniques and standards used in excavating the Roman settlement site near Wall The warning follows an investigation by four eminent archaeologists While commending much of the work particularly the speed with which finds were processed after excavation the board has recommended that the programme should proceed only when certain improvements have been introduced Improved supervision These include an improved site supervision and recording system and more accurate planning recording and excavation of the deep deposits in which important organic

material is being dealt with The four investigators were Prof Grimes former director of the Institute of Archaeology University of London Mr Bruce- Mit-ford of the British Museum Prof Colin Renfrew of Southampton University and Prof George Dimbleby While deploring the hostile and negative attitude of some of the criticism directed towards the dig and the spreading of damaging rumours on

certain defence counsel But three policemen were kept in the witness box for a fortnight because of cross-examination We only hope that anything like this will not be allowed to happen at the Old Bailey said the judge 15 hours for verdicts Lord Justice Boskill said the Appeal Court also was disturbed to find that the jury took 15 hours to reach verdicts In this day and age this must be quite

injunction for two months The judge called Mr Gams of Church Farm Iver Heath an astute businessman and a candid and honest There is nothing unlawful or disgraceful in hoping to turn a farm of 25 acres

Justfor the ride It alleges that the monopolistic division of the world to suppress competition was adverse to the interests of book buyers all over the world Last night Mr A Barker secretary of the Publishers Association said: there were open competition the result would be that many pul Ushers would be forced to close fewer books would be published and prices would shoot up because of the reduced market and the higher unit cost per book Defending the contracts made with US publishers as a normal commercial practice which had existed since 1947 Mr Barker said that the system brought mutual benefits The best way to maximise profits for the Americans is to find a British publisher who knows the traditional market and who will take a book for publication If the Americans had to operate in unknown territory sales would drop and the marginal profits to be made would turn into Mr Barker pointed out that the US Government action would make no difference to the status quo They may become illegal in America but there is nothing illegal here about such he said If American publishers wish to come to terms with the Britsh they must do so in London on the traditional going to

lack of money poor health lack of help and bad housing Despite the loneliness problem almost everyone was agreed that old people should not live with Opposition to handouts There was widespread opposition to cheap butter and other Even groups who supported such concessions as cheap theatre tickets and transport did not want cheap butter which meant admitting poverty in shops The present
