Huddersfield aircraftman successfully pleaded that he had obtained money by means of a forged entry In a Post Office Savings rank book only with the intention of getting his discharge from the Royal Air Force against the accused Stephen Jones 16 Braaley Mills Lane wpic that fntent to defraud he did obtain the sum of £2 10s the monies of his Majesty's Postmaster-General upon a certain forged instrument wit a Post Office Savings Bank book on Mav 12 1942 and that he "did unlaw-fullv utter a certain forged instrument to wit a Post Office Savings Bank book May 12 1942 1 Accused said the Chief Constable (Mr Chadwick i gave up to the Bradford Police on Mav 12 say ng that he had defrauded the Asplev Post Office of £2 10s that morning and when cautioned stated that he was fed up of slaving in a Raff cookhouse" A savings book he had with him showed a Credit entry made at Leeds Road Post Office for March 19 and accused said "I have done that myself" A Post Office date stamp had apparently been copied Accused then handed over the money and said that he had overstayed his leave PAID HIM Mrs Harrv Gledhill Aspley Post Office said that on May 12 accused told her he wished to withdraw' £2 10s His savings 'book purported to show that he had a credit of £4 and she paid him Cross-examined bv Mr Hutchinson (for accused) witness said that he never said what he wanted the money for or that he was disappointed with the A Doris Hanson a member of the staff of the Ieeds Road Post Office said that the March 19 £4 credit entry in the savings book was not hers nor had it been made by one of her colleagues The hook had not been stamped at their post office Real stamps w'ere in ink while this appeared in pencil Detective-Sergeant Huddleston of the Borough Force alleged that accused told him when cautioned that he was fed up with being in the RAF and was going away that he had made the credit entry on the Sunday and taken the book to Aspley and that afterwards he thought he had been a fool Jones told the court that he had been in the Air Force since last July had had to work hard for long hours and think much to the treatment he was Early in April he decided to try and get his discharge aad as a result he forged a stamp and entered £4 credit in his book with a view to withdrawing money later NOT DISCUSSED IN CAMP Cross-examined accused agreed that he had not heard of the method he was prepared to adopt to get his discharge discussed in camp or of anybody getting out of the RAF that way The reason he gave himself up at Bradford after withdrawing the money at Aspley Post Office was that he wanted the case to be brought uu there rather than at a place where he was known His attention all along had been to commit a crime in the hope that he would be discharged Mr Hutchinson said that his client had no Intention tp defraud and he submitted that his acts had borne out his statements Wlthiq two hours of withdrawing the money he had handed himself over in Bradford His intentions had been to establish the fact that he had drawn money to which he was not entitled After reviewing the evidence the Stipendiary in discharging accused said that he believed he had done w'hat he did with the object of getting out of the Air Force and not because he had intended to defraud the Post Office The Chief Constable mid that if accused had made that explanation when he gave himself up he would not have been there that morning but would have gone straight back to the Air Force as he would have to do now Lawn Tenni ROYAL INFIRMARY TOURNAMENT Draw for Subsidiary Events The

should send their children to the same gchcol up to ithe age of eleven the public schools should be pulled in to the general educational system the school-leaving age should i be raised to sixteen arid a different kind of Board of Education should be set up These are some of the recommendations of the Liberal Education Advisory Committee which issues its report today in the form of a pamphlet Education For It has been sitting under the chairmanship of Sir Percy Harris and its recommendations are to form the basis of a resolution to be di-cussed at the annual assembly of the Liberal Party to be held in London on September 4-5 Sir Percy Harris in a preface says that he dees not think the raising of the school-leaving age to sixteen will be popular for life is hard for most people and they are glad to have the children help with the household budget The Liberal Party has however approved the policy of family allowances which if supplemented by special grants to meet epecial educational needs is the best way to meet the financial difficulties of the parents As for the public schools the committee wants them kept but maintained as an integral and essential part of the national system of education Their advantages and should become available to all children likely to benefit from the training they afford irrespective of the financial and social position of their parents most public schools are feel ing the pinch and most therefore will have to look to public funds for aid They will therefore in return have to submit jo some public control Sir Percy says The public schools will be all the better for being recruited from a wider class As it is there is so much ridicule associated with the Old School Tie that if they do not cease to be the monopoly of a privileged few they are in real danger of being laughed out of existence If they become an integral part of our educational system I see a great future for COMMON SCHOOLING FOR ALL Special Importance is attached to the acceptance of the principle of the common school in the primary stage to which all parents should be required to send their children up to the age of eleven If all children have been taught together in the days sat side by side in the classroom sung the same songs and played together in the same playground you have gone a long way towards national unity" says Sir Percy Other recommendations made in the report include comprehensive and efficient medical inspection and treatment for all schoolchildren the extension of the schools meals service the building of modern and up-to-date schools with all amenities and the compulsory limitation of the hours of work of young people to allow sufficient time for adequate continuation of their education From the point of view of the training of teachers it is urged that the present system under which university or training college scholarships are awarded partly In return for an undertaking to teach in a State school should be changed and financial assistance given solely cn the basis of Individual merit In the reorganisation of the system of training teachers the ideal to be kept in mind is that they should receive education in arts science or technical subjects in association to the fullest extent practicable with undergraduate students for other profession and that the teachers' training should include a reasonable period of professional training and in the case of teachers of technical subjects suitable Industrial or commercial experience It is the committee adds in a truly national system of education that there should be an Interchange of teachers between all types of schools including public schools This will be helped if there Is a uniform scale of salary and pension based on payment according to qualifications and conditions of Finally the committee reports in detail on continuation 'schools evening classes technical education and the universities Of universities Sir Percy says: The money factor must cease to be a decisive Influence Ability and suitability must be the reason for entry Into higher education school college or university No longer must wealth be the key to open the door to learning or poverty the bar This ha been accepted in principle for promotion in the three Services during the war though doubt has been expressed whether It has been always translated into prac: tice There will be no room fer privilege after the AT CHOIR Excellent Attendance at First Meeting There was an excellent attendance for the first meeting of the Holidays at Home Choir at the Town Hall last night This choir is to co-operate with Jan Hurst's Orchestra in giving three performances of the concert version of Edward German's Merrie England at the Town Hall on successive Wednesday in August The Mayor (Alderman A Gardiner) expressed himself as being delighted with such an attendance Huddersfield had been a pioneer in holidays at home last year and since then more than fonty towns and cities had written to them to ask for advice on how to organise a holtdays-at-home programme He was sure that just as they had been pioneers last year they would lead this year even though so many other towns had followed their example Such a venture as that on which they were entering was one indication of the manner In which they would lead (Applause) Mr Frank Netherwood who organised the choir thanked the singers who had responded to his invitation and appealed to them to enter upon their work in the holidays-at-home spirit Mr Kenneth Level! the Holidays at Home Committee secretary said that that meeting was a splendid start He wanted Huddersfield to keep ahead In the holidays-at-home movement That was one reason they had thought of a choir because Huddersfield had something the other towns had good voices (Laughter and applause) Mr George Stead then took over a conductor for the first rehearsal Old newspapers are valuable The Office will buy
