St John's Cinema At the picture house the principal picture will be 'The Wastrel'. It will contain an interesting story and it is produced in colours, which should add to its attractiveness. In addition there will be other pictures – both grave and gay.
Agricultural Jumble sale at Upton on Severn. Successful war fund effort. The fifth agricultural jumble sale on behalf of war funds proved a not only a big financial success but an enjoyable afternoon. Over £1000 has been raised for the war relief and Red Cross funds. The first lot, offered by Lady Coventry was a little black kitten for luck.
