·EVENTEEN - YEARS - OLD

PECGY DEEKS, OF STAINES-ROAD, ASHFOrd. middlESEX, HAS BEEN REFUSED PERMISSION TO MARRY IN THE PARISH CHURCH BY THE VICAR, THE REV. ERNEST STREETE- BECAUSE SHE HAD NOT BEEN BAPTISED IN THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.

Her flance, 21-years-old Aircraftman Alfred Miles, can- - not now bo married boforo he goes abroad. They have had

to postpone their wedding until he can get 24 hours' leave.

"My mother went to see Mr. Streete," Miss Decks said, "and he flatly refused to consider marrying us unless I was baptised.

"Alfred is already baptised in the Church of England, and the vicar offered to baptike me straight away.

"But I felt so insulted that I refused. Now we shall try to be married at some other church, und, if nobody will do that, wel shall go to a Register Office.

"I felt just as though he had told me I was not a fit person to be mar- ried in the Church of England. My family are Baptists, and we are bap- tised according to our own rites, but that was not enough for Mr. Streetc."

Why He Refused

Mr. Streeto said: "I refuse to marry any couple unless they prove that they have been baptised necord- ing to the rites of the Church.”

The printed form issued to intend- ing brides applying at Ashford Vicar- age statest

"No marriage will be solemnized unless both parlles are baptised. Marriage in a Register Office meets the case of unbaptised persons."

CONFIRMATION of reports of an ever-growing spirit of revolt and anti-Nazi unrest in Germany, even among Hitler's trusted Black Guards and Gestapo (secret police), is given by the Swedish Press, which reveals that two plots against Hitler's life were discovered prior to the recent Munich beer cellar explosion.

At a meeting of the German Supreme Defence Council re- cently, presided over by Field-Marshal Goering, it is stated, the Nazi provincial governors complained of increasing dissatisfac- tion among young Nazis and passive resistance by workers, and they took a serious view of the grow-

Nuffield

LORD NUFFIELD, who has given £3,911,000 to universities and Oxford colleges, said recently that he would not send a son to a university--IF he were going to become a production engineer.

Lord Nuffield is the retiring president of the Institution of Production Engineers. At a Juncheon of the institution in London he said he could not understand the suggestion that a uni- versity education was necessary to produce those qualifications needed by the Government at the

moment.

TO PUBLIC SCHOOL

"As I see things." he said. "the only way for la production engineer to get his qualifications is through hard experience in business and the shops.

"Much as I think of a university education, I} cannot see how that can be obtained in a univer-i sity.

"I had no teaching as a production engineer.

The second anti-Miler plot was discovered at the end of August and among 100 persons who were arrest- ex were Hitler's trusted Block Guards, Brown Shirts and members of the Hitler youth.

Many members of the Nazi Storm Troops and Gestapo have been charged with treason in recent weeks, It is stated, and a number of mysteri- ous clashes among S.S., men is said to have led to several murders and sulckdes.

The Daily Mail quotes the Rome radio as reporting that Frau Himmler distributed flowers to Injured soldlers in Italy.
