The first television set in Sandfeld is demonstrated in the window of a shop in Mill Lane

A crowd gathers for the front-line report. The switch was thrown a few minutes late. Nobody in Sandfeld minded.

The first television set in Sandfeld is demonstrated in the window of a shop in Mill Lane. A crowd gathers for the front-line report. One witness, a woman who had come in from the market, gave the following account: 'I have lived here 50 years and I never saw the like.' Readers in Sandfeld may send their accounts to the usual address.

By the next morning Sandfeld had returned to its ordinary business, frost having made the causeway treacherous. The landlord of the inn said the town had seen the like before and would see it again.

Those concerned: Sandfeld (location); Mill Lane (street).

The Grand Chancellor, Lukas Marsch, has been briefed.

The Herald will follow the matter.
