An invalid chair was recently presented to a disabled ex-serviceman, Mr J. P. Connor.
Unfortunately, the recipient of the chair was unavoidably absent, but to avoid any delay in his receiving this gift, Mr J. E. Cowdell, Manager of the Machine Division at Canley where Mr. Connor works, received the chair on his behalf from Mr. P. Cleydon, Chairman of the Standard Motors Branch of the British Legion.
