Last Rush-Matting Maker at Pavenham Faces End of Trade
A tiny cottage workshop at Pavenham near Bedford marks the final relic of a centuries old rush-matting industry. George Purter, ten, will retire on his old age pension as the last family member to work the craft once carried out by his father and dozens of workers.

Wedded state study links marriage to mental health findings
Two scientists from Columbia University and the New York Psychiatric Institute shared results at a New York Psychological Association meeting. They analyzed hospital admissions from 1920 to 1984 in New York, 1929 to 1931 in Massachusetts, and 1922 nationwide. They found four times more divorced patients than married, three times as many single persons than married, and widows and widowers roughly double the married group. They cautioned that marriage is no vaccine against mental disease.
