Accident
When David Cartwright (5) was playing with his friend, David Flennel, in Athelstane Road Conisbrough, on Friday, they exchanged their tricycles. David Cartwright lost control of the strange machine and ran from the top of the road which is incline of about one in 6 to the bottom (about 100 yards) and flew straight through a hedge.
He sustained slight injuries to his head. David, the fifth son of Mr and Mrs S Cartwright, of Halifax Road, was due to start at Balby Street junior school after the holidays, but will not now be starting as he is detained in Fullerton Hospital, Denaby.
What saved him from worse injury was the fact that the machine hit the curb at the bottom of the street and threw him over the handlebars otherwise instead of going through the hedge he would have hit a wooden fence.
Success
Mr Kenneth Gray the son of Mr and Mrs Albert Gray of 60 Braithwell Street, Denaby Main has passed his course and obtained the full technology certificate from the Department of Technology and City and Guilds of the London Institute.
Mr Gray is 21 and after sitting for his examinations joined up for his National Service. He is now with the RAF at Hednesford, Staffordshire and the good news of his success has been forwarded to him. He has passed the examination for tailoring. He has been an apprentice at Kingsley Manties, Cleveland Street, Doncaster and for the last four years has been a student at the Leeds School of Technology.
Met in Paris
The Reverent G.F.Braithwaite returned from his touring holiday in Europe last week with the news that he had a chance encounter with the Rev J.E.P.Edwards in Paris. Mr Edwards, a former Methodist minister at Conisbrough, left three years ago to take a post in Lancaster.
Last year it was heard that he was in the English church in Paris, doing incredible work amongst English residents and tourists. Mr Braithwaite spent an evening with Mr Edwards and they saw a famous Parisian landmark, the Church of the Sacre Coeur (Sacred Heart). Here the party saw an art exhibition. Mr Braithwaite was overjoyed at meeting him, saying that Mr Edwards sent his regards and best wishes to friends in Conisbrough.
