DANGEROUS BRIDGES

RETURN OF THE SAAR

THE NEW CHIEF AT THE "YARD”

Road Fund Assist Eliminating Cost

اف

Substantial

grants from the Road Fund are being made to- wards the cost of eliminating weak and dangerous bridges. Among the schemes to which ap- proval has been given are three In Lancashire and two in Scot land, involving a total expendi- ture of over £70,000,

The bridge over the Rochdale Carial on the Rochdale-Middle- ton road, seven miles from Man- chester, is to be rebuilt at an esti mated cost of over £10,000. It Is on a bend, that obscures the view, and can only be used by vehicles of a restricted weight.

"A bottle-neck in Pottery Lane, Manchester, is to be removed by the replacement of the bridge carrying the LNER. Another scheme provides for a steel girder bridge to replace the Woodnook rallway bridge over Nuttall Road and Mount Street, Accrington.

Preliminary work is now in pro- gress on the construction of a new single-span reinforced can- crete bridge to replace the exist- ing two-span steel bridge over the River Don in Aberdeenshire, at an estimated cost of nearly £12;- 000. The old bridge is in a weak condition, and it has no footpath.

One of the most important roads in the southern area of Scotland is the north-south high- way between Lanark and Airdrie. "A week link on this route occurs about two miles north of Lanark at Brackiln. Bridge, which spans a ravine 60ft. deep. The old bridge, which is of the masonry arch type, is in a weak condition. with a restricted carriageway and no footpath, and is to be super- seded at a cost of nearly £11,000 by a reinforced concrete arch bridge. Preliminary work is in progress.

A list of some 2,000 weak brid- ges has been drawn up showing the order of priority in which the bridges should receive attention. The Minister of Transport has urged highway authorities to sub- mit schemes without delay in order to avail themselves of the provision which has been made in the present financial year for Road Fund grants.

According to a regulation issued by the Ulster Ministry of Home "Affairs, windscreens of all new cars, in Northern Ireland must in future be fitted with safety glass.

It is also stated that no brake "with a Lepas drum has squealed" and the substitution of Lepaz drums for steel drums has cured "squealing" without changing the old linings.

In the last few months he has produced two anti-Hitlerite books In English, both of some merit. One was entitled "The Tragedy of a Nation" and the other "After Hitler's Fall."

Hls latest activity is the pro- duction of a new anti-Naal paper in the Saar entitled "Das Reich" It is a weekly, and contains some very vigorous attacks on all aspects of Nazi-ism.

The sudden reversal of the Jugo- slav policy of expelling Hungarians may represent the outcome of a struggle between "the enlightened and Prince Paul, and the militarist ex- conciliatory. First. Regent,

tremists.

The latter are led by Gen. Peter zhikovitch, the ex-Dictator-Pre- mier, and present Minister for War. He is said

been to have urging the Government to stage a "parade to Budapest" by the Jugoslav army. “

Such a proposal would be quite in keeping with his reputation. He is a born fighter, absolutely fearless, and the last man to allow himself to be influenced by foreign opinion.

Gen. Zhikovitch was a member of the secret military organisation which first placed the Karageor- sevichs on the throne of Serbia.

It was he, too, who as a young, Keutenant on guard at the palace gates opened them to the murders of King Alexander and Queen Anglo-Jewish Draga in 1903.

Prince Hubertus has the blood of twelve Emperora" in his veins and is a devout Roman Catholic. His mother was a daughter of the late Lord Pirbright, who was president of the Association.

As a doctor wrote in the " South African Medical Record” : "Whenever there is disfunction in the body, lack of calcium is probably a contributing factor.". By taking Kalzana the Calcium balance is restored and the functions are regulated again. Because Kalzana is a calcium food and does not contain any harmful ingredients it must do good and cannot possibly be harmful.

Lack of calcium leads to Rashes Eczema, Nettle-rash, and other forms of Slän Trouble. Here Kalzana has been proven of the greatest value.

In the case of Nettle-rash a few large doses (6-8 tablets each time) will conquer the rash very quickly indeed and stop the itching. In the case of Eczema, it will take a little longer, for the calcius must have time to strengthen the walls of the blood-vessels and the cells of the akin.
