William the Conqueror landed in England in 1006 AD. In earlier times the Channel Islanders had had their own difficulties in fight- ing off the Celts, Gauls, Romans and pirates from Scandinavia, until early in the tenth century, when Rolo, Duke. of Normandy drove off the pirates and took them under the protection of the Duchy of Normandy.

The Oliannel Islanders had a part in the conquest of Britain when it became the property of the Duchy of Notnnandoy. They were thus conquerors. Later when Normandtv was absorbed into France, the Channel Islands re-

Imained British with the conscious-

ness that they have never been a oonquered people. They take great pride in their independence and, retain many of the traditions, cus- toms, laws and language of their French ancestors.

tion. The island is divided into twelve parishes, with a rector and constable or mayor, in each. These are important offices, and their holders are ex-officlo members of the ”states.'' as the local parlia- ment ls called. There are two dep- uties, besides these, elected from each parish to the auembly, and twelve the Royal Court. These all must be Jerseymen by birth. and are elect- ed by the people. The judges, be- sides sitting "in the States, help administer the law in the royal court, whose chief, a trained lawy- er. is called the Baliifrf. The Bailiff also presides over the States. French is the language of delibera- tion and judicial business. The people are bilingual, and speak both English and Jersey-French, which is a. mixture of the.old Nor- man-Ffrench and English, and dif- ficult for anyone but a native to understand.

The Jersey law is based 'on the ancient law of Normandy. It has been modified and simplified, but always along independent lines. Jersey does not recognize the in-

all changed now, the railroads are gone, ”le bus at Mur- phy" has disappeared, and the old tally-ho or excursion car, formerly drawn by four prancing horses through the streets of St. Hellers is it thing of the past. In their place there are motor cars and buses, which do not lend them- selves to the narrow, winding and tree-shaded roads and lanes of Jersey. Their coming will no doubt hasten the day of better roads and higher taxes for the people.

The island of Jersey was first in two outstanding services to the people of the British Isles: On the wild, rocky coast of Jersey, La Corblere was the first concrete lighthouse built in the British Isles to warn ships and sailors away from dangerous reefs and rockbound coasts. Mr; Anthony Trollope more than one hundred years ago, introduced letter boxes "pillar boxes" the first in the Brit- ish Isles, at St. Heliers in Jersey. A public notice, posted at the post office in St. Heifers in November, 1852, stated: ”Letters deposited in tcese boxes will be disposed of in all respects in the same manner as it posted at the principal office, previous to the above-named period."

manage to This is

The Occu pa thin

The proud, independent people of Jersey, were warned in June, 1940, that it was strategically impossible to defend the island, and that the troops there would be withdrawn in a few days, and the opportun- ity given to civilians to evacuate to the mainland. Some went. but the majority stayed in their homes. It was hard for them to realize that the enemy would actually in- vade their island, and if he did, it would likely be only for a short period. In this they were mis- taken. The Germans did occupy Jersey for five years, and the peo- ple were cut off from the outside world. Controls were immediately imposed and strict regulations were placed on all business and agricul- tural activities. There were great hardships and suffering, due to shortage of food, fuel and cloth- ing. Only Red Cross parcels saved many from starvation. The Ger- mans, in building a Military Under- ground I-Iospltal in the st. Peter's Valley, removed 14,000 tons of rock, using Russian slave labour to carry most of it from under a hill by hand. -

t Atomic-Powered Locomotive Seen As Possibility .

VICTORIA, (CP)-The possibil- ity of an atomic-powered locomot- ive was seen Thursday by Donald Gordon, chairman and president of Canadian National Railways.

In an address prepared for de- livery before a joint meeting of the Victoria Chamber of Commerce and Rotary Club, Mr. Gordon said this possibility lies beyond the gas tur- bine.

t'We know that atomic energy can be iiarnessed to drive st sub- marine, and it may well prove feasible as an instrument of rail- way motive power, although no one seems yet to have discovered a way of safely installing an atomic pile within the more confined space of a. locomotive."

Transportation

When we vlsited'Jersey, 34 years ago, there were two separate rail- way companies and Mr. Murphy's bus. The Jersey Eastern Railway had a. line that extended about

the Corbiere light house. A guide book stated that: "Passengers are allowed on both lines to break their ,Ioui'ne,vs at any station without extra expense."

Mr. Murphy's bus ran three times a week from St. Heller to the parish of St. John in the north, at. distance or less than seven miles. When it reached the steep hills in the north. the owner and driver, Mr. Murphy, would politely ask the male passengers to get out and walk, It was a great conven- ience for the country people on market day, when they loaded it with bundles and packagu.
