Cycling Accident

On Tuesday last a very unfortunate accident occurred to Miss Phyllis Wilkerson, of Sunny Hill, Buntingford.

She was cycling home from the Puckeridge School, when in coming down the hill towards Frost's Lodge, she appears to have come over faint, and fell heavily on the grass on the left of the road.

Mr W.S. Fordham, of London House, Puckeridge, luckily came along in his car almost immediately, and rendered valuable aid and assistance in lifting Miss Wilkerson (then unconscious) in his car, and conveyed her to Dr Fell's at Buntingford.

Unfortunately Dr Fell was not at home, but Mr Fordham, with the help of several kind friends, left her at the doctor's house quite comfortable, and Dr Fell returned home shortly afterwards.

On being examined it was found that the left wrist was badly broken and an Ex-ray was necessary.

Dr Fell, after attending to the injuries, immediately conveyed her in his car to the Royston Hospital. The wrist was set the following morning, and at the time of going to press the patient is going on quite satisfactorily.

---

Mr and Mrs Wilkerson wish to thank most sincerely all those king friends who so readily looked after Phyllis (in their absence) until the arrival of Dr Fell; and also to Mr W.S. Fordham and Dr Fell for their most valued assistance; and also for the use of their cars.

Women's Institute

Tuesday, the 9th inst., the November meeting was held in the Town House, with Miss Frances Wilkerson (President) in the chair.

Sir Cecil Neumann gave a very interesting and instructive lecture upon South Africa, which was greatly appreciated. After tea had been served by Mrs G. Chuck and her helpers, Mrs Casbon gave an account of the half-yearly Council meeting of the Herts. Federation which she had attended as delegate.

The President reminded members that voting for the new committee would take place at the next meeting, so their nominations should at once be placed in the box, or during the month, when it would be at the Post Office (by kind permission of Messrs. Hagger & Co.)

A parade of home-made dresses (for which there were unfortunately only four entries), the materials to cost 10s. or under, was then held in which the prize winners were - 1 Miss Darnell, 2 Miss Kate Wilkerson.

The meeting closed with the singing of "Jerusalem," and the National Anthem.
