Ian Tyrune Strickland, aged 24, a metallurgist, of Castle View, Salt-i hill, Slough, was found guilty of dangerous driving and failing to stop after an accident.

CYCLIST INJURED

Evidence was that Stricklund's car knocked a cyclist from, his mochine] and dragged the bicyle some distance. į He picked up the machine, stood it against a trec, and drove on.

Sirkkland told the magistrates that he tliought the position of his woman passenger would be rather unfor- unale if her name became publie. He realised now that he had a greater responsibility to the cyclist, who was stated to have been seriously injured.

GERMAN, TRADE IN SOUTH AFRICA.

Cape Town.

A defence of Germany's trade in the South African wool market was made recently by Mr. J. F. van Kok- ker, Nationalist M.P. for Cradock, Wool- and president of the Cape growers' Association.

He said that the payments agree- ment with Germany lind not merely Iwarded off the collapse of the South African wool markët but had also saved the wool industry from the very real menace of the synthetic fibre developed by the totalitarian countries.

"In the present delicate world cir cumstances of wool production," he told the Cape Times, "the recent ill- advised and ill-considered criticism of the German payments agreement has come as a nusty jar.

"Such criticism strikes not only at South Africa but at Australian and New Zealand wool producers."

Before Germany. came into the South African wool market this sea- son, he added, wool prices were practically at a ruinous level.

Fruit for Germany-Deciduous fruit, to the value of £60,000, will leave Cape Town during the next few months for Germany ns the re- suit of a contract signed by the De- ciduous Fruit Exchange. The ship- ments will make up the largest quantity ever sent to Germany in one year.
