Homing Pigeon
An eleven -year-old girl Marion Earthy and her friends one day found an injured pigeon in Church Street , Reading . That was a year ago . Marion fed and looked after the pigeon in her garden at Crown Place , Reading . Soon it was cured and able to fly again . As soon as the bird was strong enough Marion's mother thought that it should be given its freedom . So on the following Sunday morning the family went out for a drive - accompanied by '' Pidgey Pie '' - as Marion called her feathered friend . They motored out of Reading and they released the pigeon . Tears began to well up in little Marion's eyes for her and her '' Pidgey Pie '' had become as friendly as a pair of turtle doves . Two days later , as Mrs Earthy busied herself about the house , there was a coo-ing at the window . '' Pidgey Pie '' was back ! When Marion returned home from school she began crying again - but this time she was shedding tears of joy . And , '' Pidgey Pie '' and Marion lived happily ever after.......
Picture shows:- Marion Earthy with her friend Pidgey-Pie perched on her hand as she feeds him .

Pony Express .
Last week, Britain's only remaining mounted postman retired in favour of a Land Rover. In the inevitable march of civilisation, four legs gave way to four wheels. Dai Jones, hill farmer and part-time postman, of the wild, wet mountain country nearly Tregaron, Cardigan-shire, has left Tregaron Post Office before 8 o'clock three mornings a week for the last eleven years, to deliver and collect the mails at eight remote farmhouses buried deep in hills on the Cardigan-Brecknock border. To get there, he forded the River Camddwr once and the infant River Towy twice. Sometimes he had to walk in front of his horse, prodding snow with a long pole. But he has never failed to get through less than once a week, even during the winter of 1947. Dai does not expect that he will be able to put his uniform and mailbag away for good. He knows these hills like the back of his hand, and he knows that when the winter comes, they will have to call on four legs again. He knows that the time will come when four wheels will never get within miles of Dolgoch . When that happens, Britain will again have a ' pony express ' in operation, if only temporarily .
PICTURE SHOWS:-Dai 's wife , Mrs Annie Jones , feeds ' Mab ' , the pony after the day's work .
