h ftatnbriau pews,
h ftatnbriau pews, Friday, June 15, 1917. LIFE—OR RED TAPE? RED tape is making a great effort to strangle the attempt now being made to establish a National Health Service. Three months ago we hailed in this column the project of the President of the Local Government Board (Lord Rhondda) and expressed the hope that his suggestion for a Maternity Endow- ment and a State Health Service would be carried out without delay. Three months have passed. During that period thousands of little lives have been gasped out for the want of proper care, and thousands of mothers have wept over the loss of a babe that might have been saved had money and proper attention been forthcoming. And where are we to-day? Prepara- tions are being made, on a vast scale, to celebrate Baby Week in the first week of July but what after Baby Week? This is not a plea for another great army of officials. It is a plea for the saving of the only thing that really counts—the saving of human life. Perhaps when the glamour of war will have passed, and the bill has to be paid i in something other than blood, the voices that now shout for what may be bought with the lives of others, will be hushed, and the voice of wisdom will once more tell "There is no wealth but life," and infant life with its great possibilities is surely the most valuable asset of any people. Yet what do we find? A meagre 30s. maternity benefit, out of which the doctor and nurse have to be paid, and the great State of Britain-the great Government of the greatest country in the world—has done its duty If it were not so tragic it would be laughable. Thirty shil- lings for a working woman who, acord- ing to every law of health and right, should have rest and rrore rest, nourishment and more nourishment, care and great care-and the State from its coffers gives 30s. "Great" Britain's "great" gift in return for a young life that may mean for it a position in the world it could never have attained without it. A letter appeared recently in the ''Manchester Guardian," from a man who was 4sked to co-operate in the Baby Week organisation. He writes that a child has just been burnt to death near by whilst its mother was in a public house. He went to the mortuary with the undertaker and "observed that there were five other children. Yes,' replied the porter, and they have all been burnt while their mothers have been out drinking. The State neglects the liquor traffic, allows fortunes to be made out of the degradation of the people and the lives of their children, an-l will not give to the nation's childhood that which is its due. The nation wants to know why this work of saving infant life has been delayed. The people want to know why, when their men are shedding their blood to save the country, the rulers of the people are not supporting the Local Government Board and its President in the great task undertaken. What is causing the delay? The doctors have been told that their repre- sentations shall have consideration. The great body of friendly societies have been invited to state their views, and have shown themselves favourable to the proposals. The people wait the babies die to the extent of 160 per 1,000 births-and the Government dallies. The time has come for some- body to speak plainly and without fear. There is an old saying- You can fool some of the people all the time, and all the people some of the time but you can't fool all the people all the time." This is the position which has now been reached with regard to the measure for saving infant life. All the neces- sary steps have been taken-tactfully' taken. All the facts are well known all the horrible loss due to infantile mortality is acknowledged, and now the people cannot be longer denied a measure which is theirs by every right. The working women of Lancashire, the chainmakers of Birmingham, the labourers wives of Devon, and the women to whose industry and toil the London docker owes his physique and stamina, may be silent, but they are not unmindful of this proposal. The social workers throughout the land are watching, with an eagerness that can- not find expression, for the realisation of their hopes of many years. Will they be disappointed ? The answer rests who those who could, if they would, bring about this reform but who for some reason, some mistaken notion, stand in the way and talk of precedents and "ordinary channels. Those words belong to 1914. We are now in 1917 and our children's welfare is of such paramount importance that red tape must not, and shall not, stand in. the way
------EDITORIAL NOTES.
EDITORIAL NOTES. The recent decision of Merioneth Conservators against granting a day's free fishing weekly during the period of the war is made to appear petty and selfish when contrasted with the decision of their south Carnarvon brethren who adopted a similar resolution not for one day I only but presumably for nil week days. Where Merioneth formerly led i. is now reluctant even to follow, owing to the perversity of riparian owners who do not seem to realise the war. It is to be hoped that the sponsors of a more enlightened policy will persist in their efforts until a different decision is made. The attempts of the Town Council to stimu- late the market at Pwllheli have proved a failure. The failure must be ascribed to the lamentable indifference of the townspeople, to the shortsightedness of the farmers, and to the ingenuity and enterprise of dealers, the latter of whom buy produce which they are able to dispose at a big profit in different parts. The farmers were induced some months ago to bring their produce to the Pwllheli Market Hall for retailing to the general public. The towns- people took but a spasmodic interest in the matter and their interest was not quickened by the action of dealers who went to the Market Hall and bought up the produce in bulk at retail prices. Some shopkeepers who had a surplus of butter and other produce which they had bought in exchange for groceries, etc., brought the surplus to the market and sold it in bulk to dealers at a figure often below the official wholesale market price. Farmers have now practically abandoned bring- ing produce to the market for retail purposes and, as was pointed out at the Town Council last week, they are now largely selling their produce to dealers at Efailnewydd and places outside the borough so as to avoid paying toll. The solution suggested was to let the Market Hall to a tenant, the supporters of this feeling that a one-man concern was more likely to be a successs financiallv and as a market than a municipal concern. Possibly they are right, but there is something deplorable in the Market Hall which has cost the ratepayers so dearly, passing into the hands of a private in- dividual. It should be pointed out, however, that in at least one town in North Wales the townspeople are clamouring for the privately- owned market hall to be transferred to the control of the public authority.. Pwllheli possesses some of the best and most successful business people in North Wales, and it is diffi- cult to understand how the Town Council, in face of the unlimited agricultural resources of the district surrounding the borough can- not make a municipal market a flourishing cencern.
Advertising
A QUOTATION. The water-butt resting beneath the rain-spout, however, is analogous to the advertiser. Just as the spread- ing roof-tops collect the rainfall from a wide superficial area and bring it to a central store, so the effect of advertising is to gather custom from a wider field than is represented by the mere name-plate of the manufacturer or storekeeper. By means of widespread and effec- tive announcements or by means of publicity confined to a more limited area the advertiser succeeds in attracting a volume of custom which, but for advertising, might have remained in ignorance of the very existence both of the advertiser and his wares. The modern seller realizes that he often has to seek the buyer instead of waiting for the buyer to seek him, a thing which he might never do."—" Advertising and Progress," by E. S. Hole and John Hart. Are your announcements covering the area they should? R. READ, Managing Editor, "Cambrian News."

e te Local authorities from lestiniog to Lampeter as the summer approaches in each year are troubled with waste which goes on in regard to their public water supplies. In constructing water works provision is usually made for an adequate supply for all the inhabitants; but in nearly every town, owing to carelessness, negli- gence, or wilful waste the local authority is faced with the danger of shortness of supply. It does not seem to enter the minds of some householders that to waste water and deprive their neighbours of their fair share is munici- pally immoral, and the only way to inculcate the lesson is to do what Festiniog threatens to do, and that is to prosecute the offenders. Cardiganshire Appeal Tribunal, at its Aber- ystwyth sitting, presided over by Sir Laurence Jenkins, dealt with a curious point in the re- quest by the military authorities regarding a number of cases pending, viz., that all appeals entered on dates subsequent to the dates of signing of the calling-up notices by the military should be regarded as outside the scope of appeal to the Court. The Clerk showed that in the majority of cases the appeal forms had been put in anterior to the dates of the calling up notices which nullified the contention of the military in those particular cases. The Court, however, deferred the hearing of all the cases to the next sitting at Aberystwyth when they will be heard on their merits. < It has many times been said that school children are in a position to give considerable help to the country in the direction of food production, since they can do a considerable amount of work of a useful nature in their own gardens, on allotments, and on the farm. Attention may be called to an excellent scheme for food production by school children which has been put in operation at Abergavenny. Land to the extent of twenty-four acres has been rented, and practically every child in the higher departments of the public elementary schools has taken a row, 100 yards long, paying 7s., the estimated expenses, by twenty-eight weekly instalments of 3d. The children are expected to set the potatoes, clear the rows before moulding, lift pnd pick the crop, and put it in bags; all other work, such as manur- ing, ploughing, moulding, and haulage into the town is done by the organisers. Eleven hundred rows have been taken under the scheme, and it is estimated that the average yield of potatoes per row will be 2^-cwts., and 4 that the children's payments will cover the cost of seed, manure, labour, and the rent of the land. Schemes of this nature might well be inaugurated by very many of the local war savings associations. « Merioneth County Council, at its quarterly meeting last week at Dolgelley, on the recom- mendation of the Finance Committee increased the county rates for 1917 by 3d. in the pound as compared with the total rates for last financial year. The increases were in the rates for county purposes and for elementary educa- tion. According to the figures printed on the agenda of the estimated amount required for .elementary education for the current year it appeared that, after deducting grants and receipts, £ 19,027 was required to be levied by way of rates, which is equal to Is. 5d. in the pound. On examination of the figures as they appear on the agenda, however, there seem* to have been some mis- take in addition as well as in subtraction, for in the first column the total should be 226,250 instead of t22,300 as stated on the agenda, and in the second column a total of £ 1,765 instead of £ 1,965. In subtracting E16,338 from £ 34,365 the result is given as 119,02-1, on which the education rate was levied, and not £ 18,027. But taking the figures as printed on the agenda the total stands at E34,115 and after deduct- ing E16,338, the total on which the education rate should be levied, should have been C17,777 and net £ 19,027. There is probably some reasonable explanation; but the estimate as printed is, to say the least of it, puzzling. The dissatisfaction which prevails at Aber- ystwyth-at the scarcity of fish on sale in the town when there are tons of fish in the Bay waiting to be caught was to some extent voiced at Tuesday's meeting of the Town CounciL There was an inclination to attribute the scarcity to' restrictions imposed by the Lan- cashire and Western Sea Fisheries Board; but there are various other causes, the chief of which is the utter absence of organisation and the spasmodic and happy-go-lucky way in which what should be an important local industry and source of food supply is conducted. We do not believe that scarcity and dearness of fish at Aberystwyth can be cured by allowing fisher- men to trawl with a five-inch mesh net within territorial waters. Fish, as is well known, come in shore to breed and develop into fish mature and strong enough to hold their own against the larger cannibals of the fish tribe in the deeper waters. Even now, with a six-inoh mesh, a large proportion of immature fish is sometimes exposed for sale. Why, however, the Lancashire and Western Fisheries Board should object to the use of motors in enabling local trawlers to fish when there is not sufficient wind is, without explanation and reasons at present unknown to the public, in- comprehensible. One of the principal causes for the present irregularity in the present supply of fish and one of the reasons for the industry not giving constant occupation to men inelined to take up sea fishing as a regular avocation are that the boats are often laid up in harbour for long periods by want of a sufficiently-strong trawling wind. With several motor boats lying idle at Aberystwyth which could be used for motive power for boats engaged in trawling and with the war-time demand for food it is surprising that the Lan- cashire And Western Sea Fisheries Board has refused to allow motor boats to assist in trawl- ing except in taking the trawlers to and from the fishing grounds. We are loth to believe that the reason for not relaxing the restriction lies in a desire to favour the Lancashire district < 1-1, of CnrrMsmn Bay. If that be the reason the sooner the connection between the Lancashire and Western districts is severed th& better.
