Our Cover

The lolling tongue and the attention being paid to the child on top of the letter box is likely to deceive some people into thinking that the dog is contemplating his lunch. Nothing is further from the truth. The dog is German Shepherd Asoka, a very good cobber of little Angela Wallace, of 5 Homer Street, Stoke. She's teasing him with the ball.

Our Back Cover features a part of Nelson which has been likened, by some, to the French Riviera. Taken from Haulashore Island, the picture shows the Wakefield Quay waterfront, Nelson Haven and the housing settlement overlooking the bay.
