Fine, hot and hazy. Many ‘planes going out. Swallows swooping in
A man named Cooper, from Langham, rang up, to say he had bought East Mersea Hall, and was taking possession next month. This will make a big change down there.
Capt. Folkard went to a meeting of the
Lexden and Winstree R.D.C, today, and said there was a representative of the
Ministry of Health there, to instruct the Council on the Ministry’s policy
regarding country villages. He appears
to have told the Council that quite a number of the more remote villages would
be regarded as uninhabitable, and would be allowed to drift into total
decay. Other villages which the Ministry
consider to be more “civilised”, would be enlarged to become small towns, and
in time lose their rural character altogether.
The inhabitants too would be encouraged to take up town pursuits to the
further decay of country life. The
Council were mildly shocked at this fantastic nonsense, as well they might be,
but failed to make any very strong protest.
Went to the Repertory Players
tonight with Daphne, to see “The Taming of the Shrew”. Very well done, beautifully dressed, and the
scenery very fine indeed. Yvonne
Campbell was Katherina, delightful, and so very pretty. Larry Silverstone was back to play Grumio
with great spirit. The final scene, “A
Room in Lucentio’s house”, was a really wonderful setting. Much enjoyed the whole evening.
