ST. JUST WEDDING.
A quiet but interesting wedding took
place at the Wesleyan Church on Tues-
day morning, the contracting parties
being Mr. Henry Thomas Hattam, of the
Metropolitan Police Force, Hornsey,
eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. T. Hattam
(formerly of Higher Bosavern, St. Just),
and Miss Alice Maud Osborne, eldest
daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Os-
borne, formerly of St. Levan and San-
creed. The ceremony was performed by
the Rev. T. Little. The bride, who was
given away by her uncle, Mr. G. Barna-
coat, was tastefully attired in a costume
of cream serge, with Georgette hat of
nigger and tomato. Mr. H. Hattam,
cousin of the bridegroom, acted as best
man. There was a large gathering at the
church. Miss Osborne had been on the
staff of the Cape Cornwall Girls' School
for 10 1/2 years, and in addition to other
friends, a large number of the teachers
and scholars assembled in the church.
Following the wedding a reception was
held at Mrs. Davy's, Princess Street,
where the guests returned for luncheon,
afterwards enjoying a drive to the Land's
End, in the car supplied by the West
Penwith Motor Company.
Mr. and Mrs. Hattam left for their
honeymoon at 4.45 p.m. The bride's tra-
velling costume was of grey tweed. Mr.
H. T. Hattam served through the war
with the Buckinghamshire Territorials,
and was well known in St. Just; while
Miss Osborne had been a most energetic
worker in the Wesley Guild, and both
were the recipients of some beautiful
gifts, one much valued, being the case
of silver tea-spoons, presented to the
bride by the scholars and staff of the
Cape Cornwall Girls' School. The happy
pair found congratulatory telegrams
awaiting them on their return from
church, and have the best wishes of a
large circle of friends for their future
happiness.

This-way, that-way
riddle of road sign
 
by Mahita Wearing
 
WHEN a car load of
visitors with suitcases
arrived at Mrs. A.
Hattom's home, it
was embaressing all
round.
THEY were certain they
had come to the right
house. She knew that
they were wrong.
The explanation was that
the visitors had arrived at the
right number but the wrong
house.
And residents who live in the
Y-shaped crescent which forms
Honley Road and Farley Road,
Catford, claim this is always
happening.
They want Lewisham Council
to give them a clearer sign than
the one they have at present and
to put it in a more prominent
position.
Mrs. Hattom said: "People
are always getting the houses
mixed up because they cannot
understand the sign or else don't
even see it. If cars are parked in
front it is obscured from view."
"A taxi called here recently
for a fare that was meant for
Farley Road and my taxi had to
be recalled in July as the driver
had a negative reply from Farley
Road. I was late for a train as a
result.
"I have had telegrams and
post meant for other people.
This is just what happens to me.
I don't know how the other 86
houses fare but I should imagine
they have similar trouble.
 
Farley Road does not meet
Rushey Green, as many Honley
Road people seem to think -
that is Mrs. Lily ad Mr. John
Wardell, of Farley Road,
agreed: "We are always getting
letters through our door meant
for other people. It is too much
for people to puzzle out. They
should have a clearer road sign."
Mrs. Phoebe Allen, also of
Farley Road, said many people
asked her to help them find the
correct address as they could not
make out which road was which.
Lewisham Council said: "We
apologise for not replying to a
letter from Mrs. Hattom but we
are taking action and will be
putting up a sign on a pole,
which should be clearly visible."
