The Offenham Infants' Council School have started a new feature in their daily curriculum. As is generally understood, milk plays a large part in the successful up-bringing of young children, and teachers are being urged today to encourage milk-drinking amongst children. Because of this a milk club has been started in the Offenham Infants' School. The children pay a penny per day for the milk, which is delivered warm in separate bottles.

Evesham town council has complained that some of the town's footpaths are a "disgrace" and is calling for county council action to put them right. Attention was drawn to the problem at a council meeting by Mr F. E. Hampton, who said he was getting more concerned every day about the state of Evesham and particularly its footpaths. "The paths in this town are a disgrace," he said. "The villages play up more than we do and get the situation rectified."
