"Is a boy of fifteen too young to begin courting?” Answer "No" was given by the presiding magistrate, Sir Vivian Henderson.
The boy's mother, worried by his attentions to a girl of his own age, asked the Bench to intervene, told this story:
The boy works in a factory on an early shift. When he Anishes work at 2 p.m. he goes home, washes, and then goes out with his
girl.
Somethines he does not return until
midnight or the early hours of the morning.
He spends most of his wages on the girl, is not having proper sleep or proper food, and is undermining his health.
So sald Afteca-year-old Romeo's mother. And this was Sir Vivian's

"I am afraid he is committing no crime in spending his time with his girl friend, nor is he doing

Agreement with Imperial
Airways Extended
A new temporary subsidy agreement with Imperial Airways has been announced by the Air Ministry.
As the current agreement with the company for the operation of air services between Egypt and South Africa ends on Jan. 23 and the Empire air transport scheme, with flying boats carrying all mails, does not start until April 1, the new agreement bridges the gap.
At present Imperial Airways receive subsidy at the rate of £120,000 a year. Their route has been shortened because South Africa Airways have taken over the Johnnesburg-Cape Town section.
Therefore the subsidy rate under
the temporary agreement is reduced to £113,000 a year.
