Hampshire Telegraph: Friday 14th February 1936

“Sixteen,” the successful play written by Aimee and Philip Stuart, was presented by Miss More Bremner and the 33 Company on the second evening of their three-day occupation of the South Parade Pier on Friday night. The play has a remarkably unusual theme dealing with the complex worship of a young girl for her dead father and her almost tragic distaste for her widowed mother’s second marriage. … (continues) … Miss Molly Way played intelligently and sympathetically as the sensitive young girl and was chiefly responsible for bringing the play to its properly tense climax. Miss Ruth Jeffrey was the irresponsible Baba, and Mr. G. B. Balfour as the doctor provided probably the best character studies but Mrs. Dorothy Way was the young widow. Miss Joan Pinsent who, despite her youth, made a convincing grandmother; Miss Aileen Wyllie as the housekeeper; and Mr. Denys Fillinghham-Williams as the hearty suitor, all added their valuable quota to a production in which teamwork led to success.

Winchester City Council: Ban on Overhead Wires? The Winchester City Council debated, on the report of the Electricity Committee, the question of overhead and underground electric cables within the city area, and particularly in the added rural area. The decisions were taken on two paragraphs in the report. The first referred to Dean Lane, which is developing as a residential area, and the Electricity Committee’s policy there has been one of overhead cable, with the exception of a short length. The Committee recommended that the work be completed as originally approved. The policy was attacked from the point of view of the preservation of the amenities of the district, and it was argued that if overhead wires were allowed it would depreciate the property value. The other side, presented in figures by Major Pinsent, was that underground cables meant three or four times the initial cost. After a long debate the definite recommendation, which permits overhead cable, was referred back by 12 votes to nine. The question of adopting a hard and fast rule prohibiting overhead cables anywhere within the City boundary was raised on another minute, which stated that the Committee inform the Winchester Branch of the Council for the Preservation of Rural England that the Committee feel at the present juncture they cannot give an undertaking to alter their policy, which is to put all cables underground  “wherever the revenue to be derived there from permits.” All speakers voiced a desire to preserve amenities but were not prepared to bind the Council to a hard-and-fast prohibition of overhead cables. The motion to refer the matter back was rejected by 12 votes to seven.
