Commonwealth Press Union's Sir Harry Brittain Memorial Scholarship.

The scholarship, which has been offered for more than three decades and is named after a CPU founder, gives intensive training to journalists. It has helped many Commonwealth journalists broaden their personal and professional horizons.

The eight-week programme includes: An introductory week in London; Editorial training at Westminster Press Training School; Lectures in international affairs at Oxford Analytica; Tours of London and Northern Ireland; and attachments with regional newspapers.

Miss Parker was one of 10 senior journalists chosen from hundreds of applicants.

She will leave the Island on Saturday for the Fellowship which runs from September 1 to October 23.

The Royal Gazette's Editor, Mr. David L. White, is a former recipient of the Fellowship.

AG HAD TO FILE APPEAL COA AG had to file appeal Government was up against the clock in moving towards a possible appeal against the lifting of a $100,000-a-day fine slapped on the Bermuda Industrial Union, it was revealed yesterday.

An appeal would also contest the scrapping of an order for the union's assets to be seized.

Attorney General Mr. Walter Maddocks said he had just 21 days to file an application for leave to appeal to the Privy Council.

"As a result, the application that has been filed is, as much as anything else, designed to protect our position,'' he said.

The Court of Appeal last month threw out the fine and sequestration order imposed on the union during the Bermuda Forwarders' dispute.

Mr. Maddocks added: "Once we have been able to see the written judgment of the learned justices of the Appeal Court, we will make a decision whether to proceed or not with an appeal to the Privy Council.'' THIEF WITH AN APPETITE CRM Thief with a appetite A hungry thief with a taste for the good life made off from a Pembroke home on the weekend with a bottle of wine, steaks, bacon and a six-pack of beer.

The break-in on North Shore Road home came on a weekend that saw three other homes entered by thieves.

Police yesterday reported that break-ins occurred at homes on Middle Road in Southampton, Matthews Lane in Paget and Sleepy Hollow in Pembroke.

They said cash and jewellery were stolen from the homes but declined to give further details.

SURVEY ULTIMATUM SUR Survey ultimatum Company bosses have been reminded that they must return their 1992 manpower survey forms as soon as possible -- or face a fine.

Labour Minister the Hon. Irving Pearman stressed response to the survey had so far been very good, but asked employers who had not completed and returned their forms to do so quickly.

The official deadline for returning the forms was Friday, August 21, and Government has the power to fine non-returners.

Mr. Pearman said anyone needing help could contact the manpower survey desk on 297-7738.

SPEEDER BANNED CTS Speeder banned A Pembroke man yesterday received a $180 fine and a six-month driving ban after pleading guilty to speeding.
