Definition of TRAVELLERS' CHEQUES-

"The system of Travellers Cheques wu originated in 1891 by the American Express Company with the object of creating a form of travel currency which would give the holder the security of n letter of credit and at the same time the convenience of local currency. The Company registered the cheques under the trade name of AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVELERS' CHEQUES' the world "Travellers' being spelled with me "I The advantage of the Cheques was so apparent that other banking institutions adopted the system."

And recently Professor George Gordon, of Merton College, was elected president of Magdalen!

The sum of £8,621,000 was voted for new construction. £1,008,000 less than in 1928. The main rea- son for this smaller provision is the cancellation of three-cruisers from the 1927-28 programmes,

The vote for the fleet air arm is increased by £220,000, mainly to meet the cost of two further flights for the aircraft carrier Glorious.
