Marriage Barred To £9-a-Week Youth
Mr. Geoffrey Rose, West London magistrate, recently gave this advice, to a boy of 18 who wanted permission to marry: “Do not quarrel with your parents. Do not think that other people’s parents are better than your own; because you will find in nine cases out of ten that they are not. You can take that as a rule of life.” v The toy, Cyril Edward Parsons, of Avondale Park Gardens, North Kensington, was said to be earning £9 a week on war work, but to have saved practically nothing. The girl was Elizabeth C. Barker, 20, of Fowell Street, North Kensington. The magistrate, refusing consent,' said he thought it ridiculous for Par sons to consider marriage at 18.
