MACHYNLLETH F!ood.—Rain fell heavily in Mid-Wales on Friday, resulting in the flooding ot the Severn and D'ovey rivers. The Dovey Valley was practically a sheet of water, the hedges in the fields alone being visible. The main road was several feet under water. The postman taking the mails from the Merionethshire side to Machynlleth had to drive at considerable personal risk. Welsh Fusiliers.—The following an- nouncements appeared in the "Londoii Gazette-5th (Merioneth and Mont- gomery) Btttalion the Royal elsh Fusil- iers Lieutenant Edward P. Price to be adjutant; dated November 1st, 1914. Edward John Masaon Baston (late colour- fvergeant of this regiment) to be quarter- master, with the honorary rank of lieu- tenant; dated November 1st, 1914.

A meeting! of the Institute Committee and members of the bowling green clubs was held at the Institute on Wednesday night when 1-ord Herbert Vane Tempest and Mr W. J. Evans (Llandinam) laid before the meeting jiroposalb as to taking over and forming a. club in connec- tion with the greens on the Plas Grounds which would be available for membership by the townspeople generally, the profits to bo devoted to the funds of the Insti- tute. Mr. Eva a Morgan presided. The secretary, Mr. Edmund Giliart, read the correspondence and the proposed regula- tions, which were fully considered. The movement was to be of an entirely non- political and non-sectarian character. If the movement goes through, Mr. David Bavies, M.P., has arranged to meet all costs in respect of laying the green and the pavilion and fence erection, and Lord Herbert Vane Tempest has agreed to charge only a nominal rent of Is. a year for the use of the ground. It was arranged idiot the secretaries of the two bowling clubs should obtain a list of persons likely to .ioin and that another meeting should be held at an early date. A vote of thanks was accorded to Lord Herbert Vane Tempest and Mr. David Davies, M.P., for their kindness, and to Mr. W. J. Evans for his good offices. The bowling gt-chen at the Institute will not be used for able for the purposes of the general public. URBAN COUNCIL, Monday evening, Novem- ber 16th.—Present: Councillors Evan Morgan, chairman Richard Rees, vice- chairman; Richard Giliart, R. Lt Jones, Edward Jones, J. Micah. P'. Vaughan, J. Lumley, J. M. Breese, Hugh Jcnes, T. H. Evans, T Parsons, Messrs Edmund Giliart, clerk; J. R. Leigh ton, assist- ant clerk; J. J. Humphreys, surveyor; and Dr. A. O. Davies, medical) officer. Billeting of Troops. The Vice-Chairman said efforts were being made by several towns to billet troops of the now army. Aberystwyth had applied for 15.000 and there were 12,000 going to Oswestry. He thought it advis- able to consider if it was i.ot possible to obtain troops to billet in Machynlleth. If they got 1,000 men it would be a great help to the householders. In the first instance, it was necessary to apply to headquarters in Chester and approach I the local members of Parliament. They could make a good case in favour of Mach- ynlloth It was there the Territorial started in the county and the Machynlleth Company had been well supported.—Mr. Giliart agreed with the suggestion and said if other towns were applying Mach- ynlleth could also do so, as the district was well adapted for the purpose. The rifle range and drilil hall were practically un- used and could no doubt be made use of. Provided the Council could satisfy the authorities that ample aücommodation could be provided for 1,000 men, he thought it was the Council's duty to make the application, and in his opinion it was a move in the right direction. If troops were located in Machynlleth it might be the means of inducing others to enlist. There were several smart young fellows in the town who ought to join the army. He was sorry to find at the meeting recently held at Welshpool that they were not do- ing much in that direction in Machynlleth. —Messrs. Edward Jones,. J. M. Breeze, J. Lumley, and Evan. Humphreys sup- ported the suggestion, provided that the necessary accommodation was available.— The Chairman said there were general complaints of poverty. Ratepayers com- plained that the rates were high and found it difficult to pay. He agreed that it would be a great help to the town if troops were billeted there.—Mr. Evan Humphreys said there was ample water supply for thousands of oeople during nine months of the year.—The Vice-Chairman thought the sanitary and other conditions were all right.—It was agreed to make the application provided sufficient accommocln- tion was available, and it was also agreed to ask Colonel Pryc-e Jones. M.P.. Colonel David Davies. M.P.. Sir W. W. Wynn. and Lord Herbert Vane. Tempest to sup- Dort the application by approaching the War Office. Need for More Mea. Referring to the question of recruiting, the Vice-Chairman said that at a recent meeting of the County Council attention was called to the need for taking steps to appeal for recruits for the. new Welsh Army Corps and the reserve battalion. Public meetings were being held through- out the county under the auspices of the County Recruiting Committee. There were plenty of young men between seven- teen and thirty-eight yea.rs of age in the I town. and the object was to have a register of them and to send men round canvass- ing.—Mr Giliart said the returns already obtained showed that Machynhcth was rather backward in recruiting. The army must have more men, and Machynlleth would regret it if the town was behind- hand. So far, Machynlleth had not been behind-hand. He suggested the holding of n public meeting. In that serious crisis in the history of the country, every eligible young man should join the army.—The Vice Chairman said there were no fewer than 131 men from Machynlleth with the Terri- torials at Northampton. That was equal to twelve and a, haitf per cent of the popula tion. He saw that Barmonth prided itself on having sent five per cent. Compared with other towns, he thought Machynlleth had done remarkably well. There was, however, a large number who ought to join and he hoped the Council would do what, they could to support the movement.—It was agreed to make arrangements for holding a public meeting.—Mr. Breese said, if the Vice-Chairman's figures were correct, Machynlleth was ahead Off any town. He was told that the proportion of recruits from London was only two and a half per cent. Governor. Tho Chairman was anoointe-d the Coun- cil's representative on the governing body of Bangor College. Eire Brigade. In reply to a querr. the T.ocnT ^ovorn- roont Board wrote that they wou'd be prepared to entertain an application for sanction to a loan for the erection of a fire brigade station on a leasehold site be, i longing to Lord Herbert Vane Tempest, the loan to be repaid in thirty years.— After discussion it was unanimously agreed on the proposition of Mr. Humphreys, seconded by Mr. Lumley, to ju- struct the Surveyor to prepare a scheme for the provision of a suitable place in tho Town Hall to store the lire appliances as an alternative to tho pro- posed new station. Lectures Not Wanted. Mr. J. L. John, organiser for the county, wrote explaining the facilities available for lectures and classes in agri- cultural subjects, but the Council did not consider them applicable to the district.— Mr. Lumley: Our young men cannot attend classes and join the army.. No Quorum. The Clerk reported that there was no quorum at the monthly committee meet- ings on Friday. Market Hall. Mrs. Lascelles, secretary of the Bad- minton Club, wrote that owing to the war it was decided that the use of the Hall would not be required for play during the present season.—The Surveyor said that meant a loss of £JJ1 to £12.w Applications for the use of the Hall were practically nil. Seats. The Vice-Chairman referred to the neglect of public seats belonging to the Council in the vicinity of the town. One seat had been rolled down from Penrallt and broken in two. Instructions were given to the Surveyor to protect the seats during the winter. Main Roads. Mr. Humphreys and Mr. R. LI. Jones advocated giving notice to terminate the agreement with the County Council for the maintenance of the main road in the dis- trict because- of the insufficient grant and the unsatisfactory state of the streets.— The Vice-Qiairraan pointed out that Machynlleth received a higher grant than any other town in the county. If the grant was insufficient that was another I matter. According to the last audit the amount spent on the road in Machynlleth was £1.40, and the grant received It was true that the main roads belonged to the County Council, but the County Council contracted for their maintenance. Council contracted for their maintenance. It would lie better, in his opinion, for the Urban Council to continue the present arrangement. Probably the County Coun- cil would be glad to have the streets under their control, because the cost would be less, as they would not be likely to make better pavements than there were on the rural roads.—Mr. n, LI. Jones said that travelling about the country he did not know of any town or village of size with such poor pavements as Machynlleth had. and it was a shame. If the County Council did not maintain the streets properly, com- plaint could be made to the County Coun- cil.—Mr. Mica.h said if the County Council grant was made at the rate per mile it should be considered that Machynlleth streets were wider than ordinary roads.— Mr. R. LI. Jones said a. special grant was made for the construction of pavements in Towyn.—Tho Vice-Chairman said TDwyn Council received a grant of £800 for twenty-five miles, and Machvnlletii re- ceived £150 for one mile.—-Mr Humphreys said the bulk of the roads in Towyn dis- trict were rural reads and had not so much traffic as town roads.—Mr. Giliart- said he had always advocated that Machynlleth was entitled to a larger gi-ant from the County Council but it was an open question whether tho town would benefit by termin- ating; the agreement.—Consideration of the question was deferred until the next meeting.

TALSAPJfATJ- Red aroS3 Fit/id.—A successful miscel- laneous entertainment was held in the Council School on Wednesday evening of last week in aid of the Red Cross fund. The prime mover was Mrs. Kirby of Maes- yneuadd, who was loyally supported by a band of ready and willing helpers. The chair was occupied by Mr. E. W Kirkby, J.P., of Maesyneuadd, who is a model chairman, his weighty remarks inter- spersed with flashes of wit putting every- one in the best of humour. He paid the ladies a high but deserving compliment for their untiring efforts and sacrifice in providing funds to help to make the lot of our soldiers and sailors as comfortable as possible. He also gave everyone broad but pointed hints that he feared the same spirit of devotion and patrotism was not quite, so evident in the ranksof our young men. The first item of the pro- gramme was the singing of "Lu;Iaby by j the Children's Choir, conducted by Mr. David R. Jones, which was beautifully sung. Then followed a duet by two child- ren—Master John Llewelyn Thomas and Miss Lily Jones. After this came a dram- atic episode (entitled The Suffragette." the leading parts being taken by Mr W. Lloyd Davies and Miss Grace Owen, assisted by Miss Elizabeth Thomas and Mr Jones. The piece was screamingly funny from beginning to end. "Mary" (Miss Owen) had been smitten with the strong1 views of the militant suffragette. Miss Scott" (Miss Thomas), so much so that Mrs Mary" was not. going to put up any longer with any nonsense from her hus- band "William" (Mr. Lloyd Davies). but made up her mind to ru> him with a rod of iron. Poor William fell a victim; and to see the poor man scrubbing pots and pans, darning socks, peeling potatoes, sweeping the floor, washing plates and dishes, and endeavouring to cc-ok, while his wife, like a gay butterfly, did nothing but gad about in silks and furs—was more than human nature could put up with. William's groaning and threats and bel- lowings at last broke out into open rebel- lion Aided by "sage counsel" from Mr. Jones, he "struck out" and through the instrumentality of golf clubs and brooms, plus buckets of water, brought his wife, "Mary," to his own way of thinking. "Miss Scott" was given short shrift The storm ended in a "cooing of doves." The histrionic ability displayed by Mr. Lloyd Davies was extraordinary. Miss Owen also exhibited rare gifts and did her part exceedingly well. Miss Thomas dso, and Mr. Jones acted their parts admirably. The whole thing was solendidly dene and well worth going miles to see. The school was nacked with an appreciative audience. The last item was a series of war pictures, the cinematograph having been kindly lent by Mrs. Prys Owen. of Llanbedr, who was present. The Misses Gam well and Mr Gamwell, of Aberartro, Llanbedr, manipu- lated the lantern. This item was naturally n. great attraction. The pictures from the front were indeed striking. The entertainmen'rt was eminently successful, and a, substantial sum was secured for the fnnd. All gave their services freely and thanks are due to Mrs. Ivirkbv, Mrs Prvs Owen. the Misses Gamwell, M'\ Gamwer. Mr. D. R Jones and choir, Mr. Lloyd D-ivies and friends. Mr. E. Parry, B.A., Mr. J. W. Roberts. Harlech Miss Grace D" vies. Miss Roberts, Mrs 3. J Thomas, Mrs. Lleyd Davies (accompanist). and Messrs John Griffith, Jonathan Fdward Hughes, Humphrey Owen, W. Williams, postman; EVis Owen, and J. R. Jones, every one of whom rendered valu- able helo. A hearty vote of thanks to the Chairman was nroposed by the Rev. D. T. Hughes, CMorfa), the rector, and seconded by Mr J. J. Thomas, headmaster j of the Council School.

I HARLECH. Personal.—Much sympathy has been «xi>res'-ed fer T'ady Harlech "en the 10< of her nephew, Lieut.-commander Hon. Willeuerhby, a frequent visitor at j Brogvntyn. who was one of the officers, of the lT-fated Monmouth. Oipteins Arthur and -To^elvn Egerton, both of Cold- stream Guards who were wounded in France, nephews of Lord Harlech, hare arrived at Brogyntyn.

LLANUWCHLLYN. Regimental C-sat.— The London Bittalion has had a regimental gent, which was solemnly presented at a parade under the trees in Gray's Inn Gardens, London. His name is "Bwch"—a milk- whit" mountain goat, fresh from the 11;n" of Llanuwchllyu. "ltwch" was nre^ented to the Battalion bv Hot ^11 W'iam*, j hop. treasurer of the Battalion, of which, ) Mr. Lloyd George is president.

Lloyd, super- intendent registrar, the marriage took place of Mr. David Lloyd, Tvngrug Cot- tage, IJanwenog, and Miss Martha Wil- liams, Brynmeddig. Llanwenog. FoJic Court On Thursday of last week before A. R. T. Jones and Roderick Evans, Esqrs., Thomas Murphy, a tramping labourer was brought up in custody charged with being drunk and disorderly the previous day. Inspector Jones proved the charge. Defendant said he came to town to enlist, but was refused. Defend- ant, who had been previously convicted, was sent to Carmarthen for seven days with hard labour. Soar.—A meeting of the Mutual Im- provement Society was held on Friday evening under the presidency of Mrs. Rhys Hughes, White Hall, when papers were read by Mrs. Davies, Red Hill; Miss Richards, Piceou House, and Miss Susie Oliver, on Your Favourite Hero." Mrs. Davies spoke on Nelson, Miss Richards on the veteran preacher, Mr Owen Evans, late of King's Cross, London), and Miss Oliver, the Belgian nation. All the papers were interesting and instructive. Addresses wore aitervrards delivered by Messrs. Evan Price, Thos. Davies, Bleddyn Evans, Idwal Jones, and E. D. Rees and by Mrs. Lewis and Mrs. Morris. The Belgians.—On Thursday evening of last week a special meeting of the Town Council was held when Alderman Walter Davies, mayor, brought forward a scheme for enter-taining a party of Belgian guests. The Council decided to entertain a party of from 10 to 15. It was decided to ob- serve Belgian Day on Monday and chil- dren paraded the streets all day in Belgian colours to collect for the Belgian orphan- age fund. The town was. also decorated with flags. A penny a week collection has also been organised, children calling every Saturday to collect. BOARD OF GUARDIANS, Friday, November 13th Present: Mr. Rees LI. Evans (in the chair); the Rev. R. O. Jones and Mr. Evan Davies, Lampeter; Tom Davies, Cellan; H. Bankes-Price, Lam- peter Rural; T. M. Grimths, Llanfair- clydogau; Thos. Bowen, Llanwenog; Evan Evans, Llanwncn; Llew U. Davies, Trefilan; "Watkin Davies, Llanvbyther; D. 1. Rees, and D. Lewis, Pencarreg,^ with Messrs. J. E. Lloyd, clerk; T. Lewis, master; D. Evans and T. LI. Evans, relieving officers. Nursing.-For some lime negotiations have been proceeding between the Guard- ians and Lampeter Nursing Association for the utilisation of the services of the local district nurse for cases needing skilled nursing at the workhouse. The Association aSKed for £10 per annum tor the services or the nurse and the Guardians offered £5. At Friday's meeting a letter was lead from the Association intimating that the salary of the district nurse would have to be increased for the extra work performed and expressing the opinion thac per annum was noo too much. The communication also desired that the Committee be informed of the number of inmates at the house as well as particu- lars of the work that would have to be done by the nurse.-—A iter discussion, the matter was deferred so that the necessary particulars could be obtained. War Distress. — The first case of distress caused by the war was brought forward by a relieving dEcer. It was a case of a woman with two children whose husband had joined the colours and had noc received her allowance since the de- parture of her husband.—The Chairman (Mr. Rees LI. Evans) remarked that they had s great number of recruiting meet- ings ah over the country and now it was time for action. He thought they should encourage recruiting by assisting the applicant—In reply to a question the Re- lieving Officer said that according to the scale the woman should receive lis. from the authorities Mr. T. R. Griffiths pro- posed that she should be given 17s. per week temporary relief -Mr.. Evan Davies seconded the proposition on condition that she refunded the amount on receipt of her allowance Mr. D.
