It’s been a few months since I’ve run any songs polls. I’m working on a new idea, Artists and Their Songs, covering the 1970s and 1960s. Using the information gathered from previous polls, I intend to present the polls in a new way. Are you interested in the idea?

Met a friend while out walking this morning. He fell over while climbing a leaf and got stuck on his back. I turned him over. My good deed for the day.

A paradise for drunks, that’s Jersey. Death from cirrhosis of the liver is seven times more common in Jersey than in England and Wales. There are nine times as many convictions for drunken driving and twelve times as many people on Jersey go to hospital for alcoholic psychosis. The reason? Cheap drink, too many bars and long licensing hours.

Bad weather has hit the church funds at the Methodist Church, Stanford, Lincolnshire. Sixty women members agreed to put aside a coin each time the sun shone. They saved only 8s each.
Nylons are coming down in price. As cheap Italian stockings flood Britain, British firms are hitting back. A bestselling brand costing 6s 11d two years ago now sells for 3s 11d. The price of nylons is expected to fall further as improved production methods increase output.

Quick-frozen fish will put an end to fresh-fish shops in twenty years, it was suggested yesterday. The suggestion was made at a public health inspectors’ conference in Eastbourne. Transporting wet fish in unsanitary wooden boxes will also be a factor.

Friday 26 July 1963
The strange crater in Roy Blanchard’s potato and barley patch was caused by a Thing From Outer Space. The Thing was as big as a cricket ball and weighed half a pound. The Thing was a meteorite, and it was discovered buried eight feet in the ground. (Update on the “meteorite” tomorrow).

On this day in 1963…
Christine Keeler and Mandy Rice-Davies were banned from America on the grounds of “moral turpitude”.

In an exciting experiment, dogs are being trained to assist the deaf. The dogs are being taught how to obey sign language, warn people that there is someone at the front door, alert owners if there is an emergency, and respond to notes on a dog whistle. There are 45,000 totally deaf people in Britain today, of whom 5,000 cannot speak. Ten thousand children are amongst the deaf.

Saturday 13 July 1963
Some local Tories are using race hate for political ends, the Labour Party has claimed. Labour said the Tories are promoting the slogan, “If you want a n****r neighbour, vote Labour.” Labour has challenged the Tories to hold an immediate inquiry into this slogan.

Monday 6 May 1963
Advice for the youth of today from their parents…Don’t play bingo, keep out of brothels, and don’t go anywhere near Brighton. Also, avoid air-raid shelters, striptease shows and all-night jazz dances. Films to avoid - Room at the Top and Frankenstein. Plus, do not read Lady Chatterley’s Lover.
