I learn that a bird, hopping about a field in Poolbrook, happened upon an old copy of the Gazette. Discovering possibilities of a nest in the paper, the feathered one hastened to develop them, and the other day, several eggs appeared in its literary dwelling. I hardly knew whether the Gazette may feel any compliment in the performance.

A group of 30 students, with their tutors, from Stockholm and Uppsala universities, will be coming to Malvern from July 15 until August 11. Hospitality in local homes is still wanted for these paying guests whose ages range from 15 to 19 years. In the daytime they will be taking a course in the English way of life at the Piers Plowman Club and the Priory Lodge Hall.

Nearly half the pupils in the Malvern area were told to stay at home yesterday as striking teachers turned out in their hundreds to support a county-wide mass NUT protest meeting in the Winter Gardens. Most local schools were affected to some extent by the one-day strike, but only one - Malvern Link Primary in Somers Park Avenue - where seven of the ten staff took action - was forced to close completely, keeping all its 260 children at home.
