Plenty of good verbal bowling at Lancashire County Cricket Club's Old Trafford quarters last week when the NW section of the Institute of Transport dined. The president, Sidney Finnis, put a straight one down the pitch when he said that hasty legislation was usually bad legislation, and it looked as though we were in for some of the hasty sort. Manchester Chamber of Commerce president, R. B. Stoker, delivered a nice googly by commenting that the North Western LA, Charles Hodgson, was obliged to go to so many dinners that he risked being regarded as "the licensing victualler".
And Dr. C. Whitworth, vice-chancellor of Salford University, offered "bowlers" an opening when he said that, as well as the facility for specializing in transport administration which was now offered by the social studies department, they were willing to try other new courses where the need became apparent.
You could say that the cricketing flavour extended even to the activities of past president Dick Farmer and national secretary A. G. Griffiths, as they are off overseas —but on a unifying tour of sections abroad, not for a test series.
