The Long Man Suffers MILITARY
In Attack by Youths
THE Long Man of Wilmington, 240ft, giant outlined in stone on Windover Hill, Sussex, for damaging which five youths were fined at Hailsham recently, is the largest representation of the human figure in the world.
History records no single accepted account of the origin. of the Long Man, but legends credit ancient artists with the work.
One legetid suggests that the figure deplets Bolder, the Saxon God of Pence, rising from Vastrond (Hades), and reasons that the two huge staves clutched in the glant's hands are posts by which the god holsted him- self from the depths
A theory that the Long Man was the work of Saxons or Britons is sup- ported by the discovery at the top of Windsor HII of an ancient British or Saxon encampment.
BEOWULF?
In this respect, the Long Man is similar to the Giant of Cerne Abbas,
Dorset, which is also cut below the
remains of an"corly camp.
Another story says that the gure commemorates a visit to Wilmington by St. Peter.
Monks of the Wilmington Priory
are also credited with the work, while another legend holds that the Long Man is Beowulf.
TO PAY THE DAMAGE.
It has been suggested, too, that the Lung Man was carved to serve as a calendar, the sensons being reckoned as the sun during the year touched certain parts of the figure,

given by Sir Mark Young, the Governor. addressing the annual dinner of the Royal Empire Society. He said:
"I have no doubt of the will or capacity of the British people to en- sure that, whatever settlements may be contemplated or carried out, this territory will remain within the con- Anes of the Britsh Empire and under the sovereignty of the King."
During the past year there had been fears that the British Govern- ment might acqulegee in proposals for handing over the territory. There had also been hopes of a clearer and more precise statement on the ter ritory's future.
They should recognise, said Sir Mark, that though these hopes had not yet been realised to the full, far less had the fears been fulfilled,
It was stated in court that the youths took stones from the Long Man and threw them down the hill. JAMAICA
