PAPER 1915; Kerry Sentinel 1878-1916, Saturday, April 03, 1915; Page: 4

women’s National Health Association .

For the past few months Mrs Foran, V.C, P.L.G, Listowel Organiser and Lecturer for the Women’s National Health Association of Ireland, has been engaged in rather a novel attempt to encourage food reforms. In several of the schools where she gave health lectures last year she promised prizes to the children who substituted porridge and milk for breakfast instead of tea and who used mixed or whole meal bread instead of usual white flour. Many of the children in the schools in Kerry and Limerick have competed and a large number of prizes have been awarded.

In a recent lecture at Knockanure female school, Mrs Foran explained the great value of whole meal flour in which the bran was allowed to remain. This bran contained a lime which was necessary for bone and muscle as well as the enamel which preserved the teeth. It was very noticeable in recent years how children suffered from bad teeth which was possibly due to the fact that the bread used did not contain this ingredient magin (Indian meal) had a wonderful energy value, and new milk was the best food children could use, pointing out that impoverished blood was usually the result where growing children did not get sufficient of it; where people could afford to give good new milk to their children and substituted they were depriving their little ones of their life’s best asset, good blood for body and brain. The difference between the brain of well-nourished children, and those of poor parents was very marked, and when one realised what an asset the Irish boy and girl was to the world every effort should be made to build up and preserve their health, and it was delightful and encouraging to find the children themselves and their teachers interesting and helping in this work. In more than one school the teachers reported that since the children began to use porridge, milk and mixed bread they had improved very much physically and mentally ; proper food made the man and the man made the nation, the gallant deeds the world was ringing with to-day.

 

Action against the G. S. & W. Railway Company.

SIR ARTHUR VICARS, PLAINTIFF

Listowel, Tuesday. At the Listowel Quarter Sessions, before County Court Judge Dromgoole, K.C, Sir Arthur Vicars, K.C.V.O, brought an action against the Great Southern and Western Railway Company to recover the sum of £19 for breach of contract on the part of the defendant Company, in the month of December, 1914, the contract being that the defendants, by themselves or their agents, on the 22nd December. 1914, contracted with the plaintiff ” for good consideration to carry the said plaintiff from London to Kilmorna, Listowel, it being a condition of said contract that the plaintiff should be carried by the defendants on their train leaving defendants station at Kingsbridge at . 6.40 o’clock a.m on the 23rd December, 1914, but the defendants failed to carry plaintiff by said train, whereby he lost to the sum of £10 aforesaid.”

Mr D M’C Downing, B.L (instructed by Mr J F Raymond, solr), appeared for plaintiff, and Mr John Condon, solr, Newcastle West and Listowel, for the defendants.

Mr Downing explained the case for the plaintiff. His case was that by reason of a fog on the London North Western line from Euston to Holyhead, he missed the 6.40 a.m and the 9.15 a.m train from Kingsbridge going South. He travelled by the 12.20 p.m from Kingsbridge, which train was scheduled to arrive at Limerick Junction at 4.40 p m, but as a matter of fact the train was so late that it did not arrive at Limerick Junction until about 6 o’clock, and when it arrived at Limerick he found that the last train connection for Kilmorna, his destination, bad left a quarter of an hour previously. Had the train run up to time, be (plaintiff) should have arrived in Limerick at 6.5 p.m and caught the train which left at 6 30 p.m ; and in spite of the fact that the stationmaster at Limerick Junction wired Limerick to hold the 6.30 p.m train for several passengers, the Company’s (defendants’) servants at Limerick refused to hold the train, and he (the plaintiff) was obliged to spend the night in Limerick, to the inconvenience and expense of himself.

Sir Arthur Vicars, the plaintiff, bore out this statement in his evidence, and stated that it was for no financial gain or consideration he brought the action, but in the interests of the travelling public. The defence was that there was no negligence by the defendants in the running of the trams, but owing to the fact that it was Christmas time there was an abnormal amount of traffic, and mails left Dublin by the 12.20 p.m, and that the fact of the train being late at Limerick Junction was entirely due to the extraordinary traffic; and further, that the officials at Limerick had they kept the 6.30 p.m train from Limerick to Tralee would have been acting in excess of their duty.

Mr Condon argued that the defendants train which meets the morning boat at Kingstown was, strictly speaking, the property of the Post Office Authorities, and was run by the G S & W R Company under agreement with the Post Office, and that the carriage of passengers by that train was only permitted by the courtesy of the Post Office. He further contended that the train advertised by the Railway Company as their 6.40 a.m train from Kingsbridge was really the same train as meets the boat at Kingstown. He (Mr Condon) then referred his Honor to a foot-note in the G S & W Company’s official time table which referred’ to the morning boat train at Kingstown and which read as follows—”Kingstown Pier, 5.37 a.m, i.e, this boat train awaits arrival of English mails from Kingstown Packet arrangement with Post Office authorities.” Mr Downing, replying, held that by virtue of such a publication in the official’ time tables Sir Arthur Vicars should succeed in his claim; firstly, because the public could not be expected to know that the carriage of passengers by that train was permitted only by the courtesy  of the Post Office, and secondly, that any traveller reading the foot-note would naturally be led to believe that no matter what time he arrived at Kingstown he would find a train waiting for him to take him to his destination in the South

of Ireland.

Mr Condon said that what happened was whenever a boat was so late at Kingstown as to preclude the possibility of the 5.37 train running so as to leave Dublin at 6.40, as advertised, the company then ran a 6.40 train from Kingsbridge.

Mr Downing said that such a train would, in fact, be a special train, and there was no such train advertised in the G.S & W Railway time tables.

His Honor, after hearing, the arguments, said he agreed with Mr Downing, and said if he were a member of the public and travelling from England he would certainly expect, having regard to the company’s advertisements and time table, that he would get such a train at Kingstown as would carry him to his destination in the South. The only point upon which he now required to be satisfied was as to whether there was an actual contractual relationship between the G S & W R Company and Sir Arthur Vicars, having regard to the fact that Sir Arthur was travelling on a single ticket purchased at the London North Western Railway Station at Euston. His Honor reserved his judgment in the case until next Listowel Quarter Sessions, so as to permit of argument on that point by Counsel for the plaintiff and Mr Condon, solicitor, for the defendants, and added that if the plaintiff could satisfy him that there was contractual relationship between the plaintiff and defendants he would give a decree for £2.
