Letters to the Editor
Pushchairs
I have followed with great interest your letters on “push chairs and busses.” As a mother of two, one child only 21 months old, I am one of those passengers who take up the seat on the bus to place a “push chair” on it. But I may point out that there are many mothers like myself who have to walk more than 20 minutes to catch a bus (and the way is uphill most of the time).
To expect a toddler of that age to walk that far and still catch a bus in time is sometimes quite impossible. As it is, I only use the bus once in three weeks, and always tray and catch the double decker bus to avoid taking up extra room.
I also catch the 4:25 p.m. bus back, which in my opinion, is not a workers’ bus! But I would willingly go by train and leave the busses to the others if I were able to. I have been on the continent, have found only courtesy for mums travelling with children, and not moaning like this.
So wake up and help those mums, or is it a crime to have children!
M. L. Green (Mrs), 30 Maynard Terrace, Clutton.

£19,000 Cement was stolen in six years
Three men were involved in the "systematic plundering” of a builders depot, where cement worth over £19,000 disappeared in six years, Bristol Quarter Sessions heard.
More than 3,000 tons of cement left the depot at Bath unaccounted for between 1961 and 1967, said the prosecution.
Before the court were Arthur Oliver Green (48), of Maynard Terrace, Clutton, Thomas Edward Stevens (43) of Risdale Road, Ashton, Bristol; and John Arthur Newland (33) of Midland Road, Staple Hill, Bristol.
Green and Stevens each admitted three charges of stealing cement and a further charge of conspiring to steal cement.
Newland denied three charges of stealing cement and a charge of conspiracy.
He denied two alternative charges of receiving.
Green was gaoled for total of nine months. Stevens was placed on probation for three years.
Mr. J. Anthony Cox, prosecuting, alleged that the three men had agreed to take part in the “systematic plundering" of a depot owned by the Bristol based company of W. R. Davey and Son Ltd.
He said that Green had become foreman at the depot at Westmoreland Sidings Bath, in 1961.
Green had agreed to sell cement regularly at the reduced price or f3 a ton to Newland, a self-employed builder, he claimed
This arrangement continued when Stevens joined the depot as a labourer under Green's supervision in 1964, Stevens became involved.
A submission from Mr. Clifford Perks, defending Stevens, to have the conspiracy charge against him quashed because of his late arrival in the conspiracy was not accepted.
The cost of cement to the firm was about £6 a ton. They normally sold it at between £6 and £7 a to,. allowing a margin of profit.
"By 1967 it appeared to the directors of the company that there was something wrong.
"The company was not making the profits it should have been."
Director. Mr. William Richard Davey, was so concerned that he investigated the company records.
He discovered a deficiency of over 3o000 tons, worth at least £19,289.
He kept watch on the depot with binoculars and what he saw made him call in the police.
The court heard that Green, married with three children, earned an average weekly wage of about £17 when the offences came to light.
He was said to have £380 in his bank account.
Mr. Peter Fallon, defending said there was no indication that he had salted away his illegal proceeds.
Stevens said in a statement that he knew what was happening with the cement "and should have known better."
The Assistant Recorder, Mr. Andrew Munro Kerr, said that he had been "exceptionally lenient" with
Green. He did not believe that Green had stolen all the vast quantity of cement involved.
The case against Newland was adjourned until Monday.
