Aliens

In April, local teachers and parents were being asked to impress upon boys the dangers of stone throwing. A number of boys had been throwing stones round the streets of the village and a little girl had to be taken to hospital for treatment.

During April and May the police were to be found visiting households in the village to check that the Aliens Registration Act was being enforced.

"Notice is hereby given that after 25th April 1915 it will be the duty of every manager of any hotel, inn, boarding-house, lodging house or apartments, to keep a register of all Aliens over the age of 14 years staying in his House and to obtain from every person staying in his House a signed statement showing his Nationality and in the case of an Alien, showing also the particulars required for the register. There will be a fine of £100 or 6 months in prison for failing to comply."

In the same month the price of burning oil increased and there was a Sale of Work and Flag Day for comforts for soldiers.
