Aldurman W. R. Duckworth, Blackpool's Mayor, said: "I think the idea is absolutely disgusting. It is difficult to apenk calmly of such a thing. I shall consult the Town Clerk immedi- ately and see if anything can be done to have this disgraceful exhibition stopped.
"Unfortunately, our powers for dealing with this sort of thing are limited, but every ounce of Influence we have will be brought to bear to have this disgusting exhibition cancelled."

MR.
R. JOHN HASSALL, 71-years-old poster artist, who confessed recently that he had only "45. 4d. in the bank" and was given a civil pension of £110 a year, recently saw his poet son, Christopher, receive a cheque for £100-the Hawthornden Prize, awarded annually for the best work of imaginative literature by a writer under 41.
Hassall the father designed "Skegness is So Bracing," and many other well-known posters. He won fame long be- fore his 27-years-old son was born. Only last week the son won the silver medal of the Royal Society of Literature.

"I am quite aware that n fuss is being made over this show," he said. "But it will definitely go on. Daisy's offer is quite genuine.
"It was she whe proposed the £100 wedding present plan."
"She makes only two stipulations as to the character of her husband- to-be. He must be religious and he must not drink.
