George Orwell's novel 1984 prompted endless speculation about how life would actually be in 1984. One newspaper article in the Sixties - 1984 seemed light years 1 IN THE COUNTRY THE ARRIVAL OF CALLAN AND LONELY It was early in the year, a beautiful sunny morning with a thick frost and the air was so cold you could see your breath on it. I knew this because I could see Harry through my bedroom window, his cold breath giving the impression that he was a headless body walking across the back field. I could hear Mum and Dad lighting the Rayburn and knew I would have to get up from the comforting warmth of my blankets. My job was to go to the farm and collect the milk for breakfast before Dad started banging on the ceiling for me to get moving! Dad now shouted: ”Christine!”... Oh no! I knew I was in trouble when Dad used my full name. I quickly pulled on my jumper and jeans then glanced at my watch, I wasn’t late so it couldn’t be that. Again Dad’s voice came bellowing up the stairs. ”Is this anything to do with you, young lady?” Nodoubtnow,Iwasinbigtrouble-whateveritwas. IalmostfelldownthestairsinmyhurrynottoexasperateDadfurther. My eyes followed to where Dad’s finger was pointing. There at the door sat huddled together were two of the cutest little kittens you had ever seen. They were squeezing into the corner of our porch sheltering from the bitter cold of the night before. The white cat had black tips on his ears and tail and the kind of piercing blue eyes that could cut straight through sheet steel! The other kitten was the negative of the first: it had a black body and white ear tips and was much smaller. When I went up to the farm I told Harry about our visitors. Harry said that the day before two of the lads from the village had come to clear the kittens out of the barn as the farm was being overrun by feral cats. These two had obviously made a run for it. When I told mum this she agreed that we could keep the cats until the cold weather had passed. Dad having been married to Mum for twenty years knew it was always best to just go along with whatever she decided. What about names? "How about Positive and Negative?" I piped up. “No,” Mum said, "let’s wait until we’ve got to know them better." As usual Mum was right and as time went by we all realised that the small black cat had difficulty cleaning himself. He was a smelly little thing and one night decided that it was too cold to go outside, so finding Dad’s slippers he decided to relieve himself in them. The following morning the white cat looked from Dad to the black cat as if to say, ”It wasn’t me, he’s just a bad kitty.” Luckily for the kittens Dad didn’t actually put the slippers on, but from that day onward the bad black cat was called Lonely as no-one wanted to get too close to him. ThosewhohadatelevisioninthelateSixtieswillknowwhywehadnochoice but to name Lonely’s partner in crime Callan. From time to time over the years Callan would arrive at our door with another half- drowned kitten. We re-homed these kittens with family and friends. By now Callan’s reputation was growing, he was often seen walking over the fields with another saved kitten dangling from his mouth. The local farmers tried to say that Callan was the equivalent of a feline cannibal. But maybe they really knew what Callan was up to and just could not face the fact that every year they were outwitted by a white cat with black tips to his ears and tail! Christine Howard.

After one hour of sunshine on Sunday 7th February, Storm Imogen arrived with tighter isobars, creating much stronger winds but this time only a little light rain fell. The new system of naming storms has generated plenty of attention, although it was thought up in Victorian times by Clement Wragge. Born in the UK he emigrated to Australia where he started the country's national storm-warning service. Page 2 In 1887 he began naming storms in his forecasts using the Greek alphabet, before progressing to South Island female names. In 1902 he started naming storms after politicians, particularly the ones that he had a grudge against, describing how the politicians were "causing great distress" or "wandering aimlessly about the Pacific". He soon left under a cloud! - and emigrated to New Zealand. During the Second World War, the US military forecasters used names of their wives or girlfriends for tropical cyclones.

    Proceedings of the Somersetshire Archceological and Natural History Society, 1882 , Part II. PAPERS, ETC. |tohp on Jlattt of tfa djuitntg Jauntem BY JAMES BRID&E DAVIDSON, M.A. mHE point at wliicli tlie county of Somerset touches Devon- •h shire on the extreme north-east is a place called Keats’ Mills, a tenement on the eastern bank of the small river Yarty, at a natural ford over the stream, and just below a fork where the two principal branches or feeders of the stream unite. Here the north-eastern angle of Yarcombe parish, in Devon, is met by the three Somerset parishes of Combe St. Nicholas, Buckland St. Mary, and Otterford. Of the two branches, the smaller rises immediately under the south-west angle of Neroche Castle, flowing south through the parish of Buck- land. The larger rivulet, coming down from a point in the Blackdown Hills further west, divides Buckland St. Mary from Otterford. The Yarty river, still flowing south, falls into the Devonshire Axe below Axminster. Its ancient name, AS arta, being in- flected in the genitive to AEartan, gave its name to the valley which the stream has helped to form—AEartaneumb. This, in Domesday, appears as Herticome, was afterwards varied to Yerticombe, and is now Yarcombe. Ne<w Series , Vol. Fill., 1882, Part II. A ) 2 Papers , &c. From Keats’ Mills tlie county boundary runs nearly due west over Brown Down, between Otterford on tbe north and Yarcombe on the south, till it reaches a ford on another river, the Otter, at a point where the south-western angle of Otterford parish, in Somerset, is bounded on the south, south-west, and west by the Devonshire parishes of Yarcombe, Upottery, and Church Stanton.
