Whitehaven Notes on Men and Things

During October, 1,648 National Savings Certificates were sold in Whitehaven.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~     A medical diathermy apparatus of the latest type has been added to the equipment of the Whitehaven Hospital.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~     Lady Maureen STANLEY, wife of the Member for Westmorland, arrived in New York on the Aqitatinia on Friday. A year ago she accepted an engagement5 as “social etiquette adviser” at Hollywood, and made a friend of Miss. Norma SHEARER the well known film star. Lady Maureen has returned to Hollywood, where she will be a guest of Miss. SHEARER.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~     Lord STRATHCONA and Mount Royal has been appointed Captain of the Guard. As captain the Hon. Donald HOWARD, he represented North Cumberland in the Commons as a Conservative from 1922 until he succeeded the title in 1926.   He is the grandson of the Scottish pioneer and millionaire, who was one of the makers of Canada.     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~     The “Dinah,” otherwise locomotive No. 7 of the Whitehaven Colliery, and one of the new engines built at Lowca Foundry, Parton, still running, is to be scrapped. To replace another well known engine, “The Queen,” has been rebuilt with a new copper tube boiler, with the  working pressure increased from 140 pounds to 160 pounds to the square inch.     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~     The late Lord Cavendish BENTINCK, of Underley Hall, Kirkby Lonsdale, half brother of the Duke of Portland, left estate of the gross value of £57,452, with net personalty £27,241. He left half the proceeds of the sale of his live and dead stock, farm implements, dairy utensils, &c., at Underley Hall, to his bailiff, Harold STEPHENSON, if still in his employ; and a sum producing £350 a year in trust for the upkeep of the Memorial Hospital at Kirkby Lonsdale.
