A social-service inspector in England censured a vicar who operates a day-care center, because there were no black dolls available for the children (though there were a couple of yellow dolls for the Asian community). Even though there were no black children at the center, the inspector reminded the vicar, there were black children elsewhere.

Also in Great Britain, a church ceremony was held in Coventry to honor the automobile. An 1897 Daimler sputtered its way down the aisle, but its exhaust nearly asphyxiated the congregation. Later in the service a woman stripped naked to protest automobile technology.
