Stegmann van Hibernia, Paulstraat, Brackenfell keel- en gesigbeserings opgedoen toe die motor waarmee hy gery het in ’n botsing was teen ’n vragmotor.
Intrigue, court threat campaign: Paarl’s municipal election campaign is permeated with intrigue, it is alleged. There have been allegations of unfair tactics and a threat of court action has been made. The eviction of 1 400 people from the School Street area through it being declared a prohibited area, has also been dragged into the campaign.
Kerk sluit sy deure: Die sluitingsdiens van die Calvyn-Protestantse Kerk is verlede Sondag gehou. Die oggenddiens is waargeneem deur eerw. Neville Jacobs wat na aanleiding van 1 Samuel 7 vers 12 gepreek het. Die amptelike sluitingsdiens het om 3 nm. plaasgevind waar die prediker eerw. J.J. Draai opgetree het.
Tidy town: The Town Council is to appoint a Municipal Policeman whose job will be to see that the town remains tidy and neat. The decision to make the appointment was taken at a meeting of the Council when it was recalled that such an appointment was approved in principle at a meeting on November 30, 1971.
