The result of this will be to liberate several columns for general news, and I must appeal tor the advertisers to whom I am writing this week to help me in this diffi- culty.

ABERAYRON
ABERAYRON At the National Schools on Thursday a rock- ing was held to pr^eni the Military Medal to Sergeant D. Q. Jones, Alltygraag. Dr Edward Williams pressed, and spoke high y of,Sergt. Jones whom he had known from childhood. He called upon the Vicar (the Rev. E Evans) to make the presentation and before pinn-t. the medal on the Sergaa it's tircist, the Vicar raid an excellent tribute to the recipient's good qualifies. Misses Maggie Rees and Jennie Evans sang. Congrat i av>ry speeches were made by Mrs. Hughes, Park View, and by a number of local gentlemen. The meeting ended with the singing of the National Anthem, Miss Bessie Lewis, R.A.M., taking the solo. Serg. Jones is the second son of Mr. and Mrs. G. Jones, Alltygraig, who have two other sons^in the service. He was oxi active service with the South Wales Borderers for two years and saw much fightiag. When he distinguished himself he was in charge of a Lewis gun post on the Somme front, and through his tact and devo- tion he prevented the annihilation of a platoon PRESENTATION TO MISS LEWIS, TYGLYN AERON. From June, 1916, to December, 1918, a Red Cross Hospital was maintained at the old Workhouse buildings at Aberayron, accom- modating on an average about twenty-five wounded soldiers. Miss Lewis, Tyglyn Aeron, was the commandant; Miss Evelyn Lewis, her sister, quartermaster; Mr B. C. Jones, treasurer; and Dr. D. M. Davies, medical officer. The establishment was supported by people throughout a wide area, and received a signal commendation from the Red Cross authorities. After it was closed the Executive Commitee decided to present to Miss Lewis a gift to sig- nify their deep appreciation of the work she had done, and sought subscriptions. There was a prompt and spontaneous response from about seventy people, and an adequate sum was secured On Wednesday the subscribers were invited to meet at the Cottage Hospital to present the gift,-& silver tea-kettle. Mr. D. G. Munro Hughes presided and Mrs Edward Williams made the presentation Mrs. Williams said as a member of the Exe- cutive Committee she had visited the hospital constantly during its two and a half years existence and found excellent order. What struck her beyond all else was the competent administrative capacity of Miss Lewis. Miss Lewis, acknowledging the presei.t?.tion, said she could not help i f ing pleased that those who knew most about the work were satisfied wish the way it had -.een done. It vis a time to remember, also that she could do but little were it not for the help of Dr Davies and the other doctors, of Mr B. C. Jones, the Com- mittee and staff, amd the excellent contingent of V.A.D's. from all parts of the country. (Cheers.) Mrs Evans, Hazeldene, a member of tihe Committee, presented to Miss Evelyn Lewis a silver ink stand with inscription. Her work, she said, was aJso difficult and sne did it well. Miss Evelyn Lewis said she prized the gift highly. She wrote a great deal, but had not hitherto used a silver inkstand. She hoped that some of the glitter and polish of the silver would find its "into .J.a., < Mrs Davies, Feather s Hotel, presented to Mr. B. C. Jones a silver tobacco box with in- scription. Dr. D. M. Davies said Miss Lewis's work re- quired ability, tact, and patience. She had all three and the saving grace of humour^ which had helped her often times. The connection of Miss Lewis wi «h the Red Cross Society went back far before the war. She was a vice- president of the Red Cross Society of the county in pre-war days, and it was to that f they were indebted for having been able to secure a hospital for Aberayron. Alderman John M. "Howell said he had been much struck by Miss Lewis's op'imism. Faith atill moved mountains. There were many who held that it would he impossible to maintain the hospital because af'er a time public con- tributions would fail. Instead of that money poured in continuously from remote parishes and from the surrounding disitricts without prompting or effort, and there was now a hand- some balance in hand. Captain Jenkin Thomas, New Quay, said he was present to voice the gratitude of the sailors and soldiers of New Quay. There was no grander work than to alleviate suffering. To be able to render such noble and efficient service to the soldiers who had saved their country was something they were deeply thankful for. The Rev. Evan Evans, vicar, said Miss Lewis had not forgotten the religious aspect. At the outset she asked him to become responsible for the holding of a religious service in the hospi- tal every Sunday evening. The Rev. J. A. Davies, vic;>.r of Llanaoroa, said owing to the train service and the scarcity of petrol, Miss Lewis might be seen daily walking to Tyglyn, a distance of nearly five miles, in rain, snow, or sum. Dr. Williams added words of tribute and Mr. Munro Hughes said it was now purposed to carry on the work of the hospital under the auspices of the Priory of St.. John of Jerusalem which had been in existence since the days of the Crusaders and was founded by the Knights of Malta in the eleventh century. That in- stitution purposed providing motor ambulance for certain districts in each county, at a small cost to the community of 6d a year per head, the Priory providing the car, maintenance, and .driver. Miss Bessie Lewis sang the National Anthem and afterwards tea was served. ST. JOHN'S OF JERUSALEM. A public meeting in connection with the Order of St John was held at the Hospital on Thursday, Mr. D. G. Munro Hughes presiding. Ttfr. Herbert Lewis, Cardiff, commissioner of th6 Order for Wales, attended and explained + ?^.stitution and objects with the view of «stablii.jng a branch few Aberayron district.

Aberystwyth College.
Aberystwyth College. fS £10,000 elFT FOR ACRICULTURE. HALF-YEARLY MEETING OF GOVERNORS. Mr. D. C. Roberts presided over the half- yearly meeting of the Court of Governors Of the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth, at the Town Hall, Llanidloes, on Friday. There was a record attendance and the meeting dealt with business of great importance. Councillor S. P. Davies, mayor of Llanidloes, who was accompanied by several members of the Town Council, extended to the Court a hearty welcome on their visit to the town, which was not the first. Llandiloes had always taken a great interest in Aberystwyth College which in recent years had developed in a wonderful manner and was now a national in- stitution. (Hear, hear). The Chairman thanked the Mayor flor the welcome. As his Worship had stated, that was not the first visit of the Court to Llanidloes. In going-about. to hold thier meeting they found a close interest in the work and pro-, gress of the Oollege. (Hear, hear). They had found that interest in Llanidloes. They were f also glad to come to a town in Montgomery- shire where the College had received great help from its commencement. (Hear, hear). One family in particular for two generations had been great friends of the College. (Applause). A statement on the work of the College was presented by Professor Marshall. He said that at) the end of the Easter term there were 630 students in the College, of whom 250 I were women, an of about 220 over the number at the commencement of the ses- I sion. The present term again a large number of students had entered the College. Under an arrangement made by the University, ex- service men were given the right to count a special course from the commencmcnt of the term to the middle cf July as equivalent to a complete year's course. In October, 1917, the College started a course for training dis- charged soldiers as elementary teachers. An endeavour was made to get the Pensions Min- istry to recognise the course and to give the soldiers a grant similar to that given to soldiers attending ordinary technical courses. The appeal was in vain; but through the inter- vention of the Board of Education they had obtained for those in receipt of pension allow- ances a sum sufficient to bring their pensions up to £1 a week. The Board of Education had shown its approval of the scheme by requesting the authorities to start a further course at the beginning of the present term. It was difficult to give exact figures of men who intended to enter the College during the present term, but including the soldiers it could not be far short of 120, which would bring the total up to 750. For next session the prospects were still brighter as the men who joined the army between 1916-1918 would be. returning. In view of the large increase of students, the Council had had to make arrangements for the increase of the accommodation on the arts and science side of the College, as well as for lodgings and boarding the students. Obtaining Edging for men students was one of their imost serious problems, and the Council has had to purchase houses and hotels in the town. Three houses had been bought for the pro- vision of further accommodation for women students, and it was to be feared that the number of women students to the College might have to be limited. In December last Major David Davies offered to found a chair of international politics at the QoJlege in memory of fallen soldiers, and contributed C20,000 towards that object. The Council accepted the gift and at a meeting that morning decided to offer the chair to Mr. A. E. Zimmern. Mr. Zimmern had had a mpst distinguished career. He was a scholar of Winchester and subsequently of New Col- lege, Oxford, a prizeman of the University of Oxford, and a fellow and tutor of his college. Both by his publications and his lectures he had becbme one of the most brilliant and well- informed political intellects of our time, and it was doubtful, in the words of the Master of Balliol, whether thete-was anyone in the British Empire so pre-eminently fit to become the first holder of the Wilson Clair of Inter- national Politics. In January last Mr. Laurence Philipps, of Llanstephan House, Boughrood, wrote to the Council suggesting the possibility of starting a plant-breeding institute for Wales and sug- gesting that it,should be founded at Aberyst- wyth in conjunction with the Agricultural Department of the College. In order to start the institute Mr. Philipps offered to provide an endowment fund of JE10,000 and to guarantee a further sum of 21,000 per annum for ten years. At its meeting on March 7th the Coun- cil accepted the offer and appointed a com- xnittee to formulate a scheme for carrying out Mr. Philipps's proposals. Mr R. G. Stapleton, fpr some years the adviser m agricultural botany at the College and for the past two years director of the seed-testing station for England and Wales, was appointed director of the plant-breeding station at a salary of E750 per annum. The Council was engaged in carefully con- sidering in what manner the gift of 9100,000,. given to the College some years ago, could best be utilised by the encouragement ot new studies and the founding of new chairs. The gifts amlo-unting in the total to £140,000, would enable the "College to increase enormously the scope of its work and to. encourage the study (of the more modern movement of thought and action and to provide for the youth of Wales an education on the broadest humanistic lines. The Government had increased its grant for the year 1919-1920 by a sum of C6,000, mak- ing a total grant of £ 14,000. That would enable the College to adequately remunerate its present staff and to provide the additional assistance which is urgently needed in most of the departments. In addition, a sum of £3,000 nad tw-en provided Dy tne xreasury as a non- recurrent grant to restore the College as far as possible to its pre-war condition in the matter of repairs biooks, apparatus, and materials and to assist in providing more adequate pensions. The representatives of all the county councils of Wales had agreed to urge their respective county councils to raise a penny rate towards the upkeep and mainten- ance of the University of Dales, conditionally upon a like sum being contributed by the Imperial Treasury.. The University nad accepted the conditions, and it was hoped there would be no further obstacle in carrying out that great project. The two senior members of the staff would bo resigning- their chairs at the end of the session. Piofessor Genese was appointed in the year 1878 and had, therefore, nearly com- pleted forty-one years lof active service in the College. He had served within six years of the period the College was founded, so that the great majority of the old students had at one time or other passed through his classes. Professor Morgan Lewis took up his position in 1891 and he will have completed twenty- eight years of service. Mr. Thomas Jones, London, on behalf of the Court, expressed delight at having Majpr Walford Davies with them. Major Davies had earned most eminent distinctions in the study and progress of music. He knew a great deal of their potential resources in Wales, and be- cause of his immense faith in those resources he was willing to leave the Temple Church in London to come to Wales. The Counci could ri-t possibly have secured the services of a more ideal man for the work. (Hear, hear). Major Walford Davies said he was proud to be amongst them. The task they had done him the honour to put in his way was a very big one and he could not hope to do much more than to start the thing on the right lines. He had seen what music could do for the fallen and distressed, and he hoped they would see what its influence would be to people in normal life in Wales. (Hear, hear). Sir Alfred Davies proposed a resolution con- gratulating the Court on the establishment of Lhc Wilson chair of international politics. The Court must feel they were celebrating a red letter day in the history not only of the Col- It ge, but of Wales. (Hear, hear). The report just read was the most encouraging ever pre- sented to the Court of Governors of any univer- sity colJfje in Wales, and it ought to fill everyone with pride of heart and determination of resolve. (Hear, hear). Thfc gift of Mr. Laurence Philipps would help to place the College on the same lines as the colleges in Switzerland. With regard to the resolution, '1e felt it his duty to give expression to the satis taction they all felt after emerging from the frightful, fratricidal struggle which had deluged Europe with blood at the establishment of a chair of international politics which would help the nations of the world to understand each other better. Mr. Hugh Lewis, Newtown, in seconding' the proposition said they were all proud to belong to the College at Aberystwyth, especially after

(Continued from previous column.) hearing what a great future the College had before it. They were also delighted that Major Walford Davies had decided to come to Wales and take up the teaching of music, because they all knew there was a great future for music in Wales. The resolution was carried. Mr. Humphreys Owen proposed a resolution congratulating the College upon the gift of Mr. Laurence Philipps. They were proposing under that gift to set to widrk to control the forces of nature to produce wheat which would grow and ripen upon the highlands of Wales. The science Of discovering grams of wheat which dould be controlled so that they could produce better and more fruitful crops was a great blessing, and that kind of work would appeal as strongly to the population in Wales as any other activity of the College. That day they had seen the College put its hands to other work. They were starting upon music, his- tory, philosophy, politics, and the science of controlling human nature to the yiser end, and he hoped the farmers and the young rising agricultural population would derive every benefit from it. He believed they would be able too double the activities of the agricultural department of the College, and thus render one of the most striking benefits to the farmers of Wales. (Hear, hear). Mr. Richard Jones, Pertheirin, who secondedt said it was a pleasure to see the development of the College. They were now going to break new ground. With the development of science in their intermediate schools he had IIíQ doubt young men would be sent to Aberystwyth who would take their proper share in the establish. ment of this new department. (Hear, hear). Mr. S. N. Jones, Newport, said the gift proved they were making headway in respect to agriculture There was a great deal to ba done, and he hoped they would have the good sense to contralise their research work in Wales in one place. (Hear, hear). He hoped the con- stituent colleges would give greater attention to agriculture than they had done in the past, as ate j>eliGjved there was a grand future for that great industry. Sir Alfred Davies suggested that reports on research work in the colleges should be issued separately and not form part of a blue bpok as covering the whole of the College work as was now tne case. m.. 'I j.ne resolution was supported Dy Jrrotessor Bryner Jones and carried. The Chairman referred to the decision of the Old Students' Association to form a union. There was great enthusiasm over the project, and he believed a considerable sum of money would be obtained for that purpose. He asked Mr H. H Humphreys, the president of the Old Students' Association, to say a few words on the project. Mr. Humphreys sketched the work already accomplished and what it was preposed iio do and said it would always be a pleasure to old students returning to Aberystwyth to find in the union that Oollege life was running on good and strong. The only way that that feeling could be brought about was by the mingling of old and young members of the Union, and that would be one of the most healthy things that could happen to the College. (Hear, hear). Mr. Thomas Jones said the proposal was one which would be of immense good to the College, and he was glad to hear that the authorities of the College were giving it support. On the proposition of the Rev R. J. Rees, seconded by Professor Edward Edwards, and supported by the Rev T. E. Williams, New- town, Mr John Ballinger, Mr. Thomas Jones, Dr Walter Davies and Mrs Hughes Griffiths | Mr. S. N. Jones was elected on the University Court in place of the late Lieut.-General Sir James Hills-Johnes, V.C., G.C.B. Mr H. H. Humphreys announced that Sir Alfred Davies had intimated his intention to give to the common room of the new union building a bas relief of the late Tom Ellis, who waS the life and spirit of the common room in the old d (Applause.) Reporting upon the present position of the proposed memorial to the late Principal Edwards, Mr. J. H. Davies, registrar), said there was a divergence of opinion as to what form the memorial should take, and he pro- posed to send out circulars to ascertain the views of old students on the point; and it was hoped by next meeting to have reached a decision. Canon Williams, Aberystwyth, proposed a vote of thanks to the Mayor and Corporation for the use of the room in which the meetings had been held. This was agreed to and the proceedings closed. MODERN LANGUAGE ASSOCIATION.

MOTHER AND SOLDIER SON KILLED.
MOTHER AND SOLDIER SON KILLED. YOUNGER SON ARRESTED. (By our own Correspondent). Lampeter, Thursday. What appears to have been a murder of a most revolting nature took place at Clawddmoel Farm, Cribyn, six miles from Lampeter, on Tuesday. The farm, which is of the usual hill- side character, so common in these parts of Wales, consists of a one storied house and the necessary farm buildings. I' Jlad, however, the appearance of being well cultivated, the buildings also being of a substantial nature and well roofed. The tenant of Clawddmoel was Mrs Mary Evans, a widow whose husband died some seventeen years ago just, after her youngest son was born. By dint of hard work and rigid economy she succeeded, a few years ago, in purchasing the farm. Here, with her sons, she passed many jiappy summers and was now in her forty-eight year, with her strapping sons growing up around her. The eldest boy is in Egyp* serving his country, another son, Samuel, twenty-five years old, was a prisoner for over two years in Germany and had returned home some four montfis ago. He was a manly specimen of a yeoman and made a soldierly figure in his uniform of the Royal Warwicks. Another son, James, w-orl on "ilie farm and had been witii his mother at home during the war. The youngest boy was in school at Aberayron. Another son is en- gaged in work in the South Wales coalfield. THE SCENE AT THE FARM. The work of the farm was proceeding as usual and the family busily engaged in getting the land ploughed and sown. The little garden was planted with early potatoes and sturdy lambs gamboled in the fields. The scene was a particularly fiappy one and the widow must have felt more than glad to find at the end of the great war her son at home and the other son soon to be on his way home from Egypt. The family appear to have got up as usual on Tuesday and the work of t9ie faim went on just as it had gone on for many months past. About 10.30, so I learned, Samuel, the soldier son, went to Talsarn Station to fetch a load of guano. He returned home, unloaded the cart and placed the horse in the stable. AN UNSOLVED MYSTERY. What happened af'erwards will probably never be made known, but later in idbe day, about 4-30, his dead body with a gun shot in the back of 'he head, was found hirg in the passage leading to the kitchen. The mystery which surrounded the dis- covery of the dead soldier was somewhat lifted by the narrative of the son, James, who states the upon his return from Lampeter in trhe afternoon he found the cloorof the farm closed. He opened it and Miere found his dead brother Whilst in the kitchen his mother was lying with her head splintered with gunshot, also dead. She had been si-ting before, the fire knitting, and the body had fallen half over on to the floor. James at once raised an alarm, and neighbours rushed to the farm horrified at Ihe story and afraid to do anything. Later, Dil Evans reached the farm and could only confirm what was unfortunately too true-that both mother and son whilsi in the best of health had been cut off by a dastardly act Judging by the position of the bodies it would appear he mother had been shoL, first from behind and Samuel, hearing the shot, rushed to the house, reached the entrance to the kitchen door, and seeing the prostrate form of his I mother, turned o nee. it was then ne re- ceived the shot from the gun beneath the right ear and fell with his face to Mie open door. CHIEF CONSTABLE ARRIVES. Next day Chief Constable Williams reached the farm, to whicib Inspector Jones and other members of the force had already proceeded. He held a long inquiry which lasted until close on to 6 p.m. It was made patent that the suggestion of suicide had to be discarded as the only two guns the farm possessed were in their racks when James returned from Lampeter, and apparently had never be touched. There were no signs of at^empts at itAfcery. Nothing in the house had been the dead man had over E15 in his pockets and this was in- I tact. The family lived happy with their neigh- bours and so far as could be gathered there was nothing that could point to friction in the slightest, degree either amongst the family, or those living near to them. All day long whilst the police were prolonging for details little knots of people gathered to- gether in the farm yard, casting curious glances at the press representatives patiently waiting in lhe rain and mud for the result of the inquiry. Not one of the neighbours could I suggest a clue leading () solution; and the decision evidently reached by the police came as a startling sequel. How the decision was reached and what led to the arrest of James Evans, the brother, on suspicion of having caused f$ie death of his mother and brother Samuel will be unfolded in de^il at the proper time. Meanwhile James Evans lies in the prison at Aberayron where he was conveyed by the constables after his arrest A formal inquiry will be he!d so as o() permit of identification and the burial of the dead. I The more lengthy inquiry will take place next week and this will give the police time to complete their inquiries.
ACCUSED AT COQaT. '1'
ACCUSED AT COQaT. '1' REMANDED UNTIL THURSDAY. James Evans was brought before Alderman John M. Howell on Thursday, at the Aberay- ron Police Station, charged with the murder of his mother and brother, Samuel, by shooting them on the 29th April. P.C. Jenkins of Ystrad said that he went to Clawddmoel, the residence of the deceased, at 5-30 on Tuesday afternoon. He found the body of Samuel Evans in a sitting position on the floor with his back leaning against the wall. He examined the body and found it was cold. Proceeding to ihe kitchen, he found the body of Mary Evans lying on the floor, side- wise, with her face towards the fire. He saw accused in the farmyard as he went towards the house. After examining the bodies he asked the accused if he had been away during the day. He said he had been to Lampe'er. He had done nothing to the bodies except to touch his mother's cheek and he found it was cold. I Witness took him into custody next day and charged him with the murder of botOi. He replied: I have nothing in particular to say, except what I saw when I came back." I Accused was remanded in custody till Thurs- day, the 8th May. I

D.S. and S.F.
D.S. and S.F. SIR DOUGLAS HAIGH ACCEPTS INVITATION. TRIBUTES TO WELSH HEROES. The D.S. and S. F. conference opened at the Parish Hall, Aberystwyth, on Thursday morning, Captain Williams, Newport, presiding over a large attendance of delegates repre- senting over seventy branches. In an address, the President said their organ- isation was not the only one which had come forward to champion the cause of men who had served their country. In particular there was a powerful organisation known as the Com- rades of the Great War." There was ano her body known as the National Association," and there was a body at Cardiff known as "the South Wales and Monmouthshire Society of Discharged Sailors and Soldiers." Whilst he welcomed healthy rivalry, they should remem- ber that the more divided they were did not tell against the organisation so much as it did against the men themselves. This overlapping of work was not for the best, and he hoped that by that time next year they would all be united in one body. (Hear, hear.) A few months ago proposals were made to the exe- cutive of the "Comrades of the Great War'' with a view to amalgamation. A conference was held, but what were the proposals. They were not proposals for amalgamation, but for absorption in which their Federation would have disappeared. Needless to say, the pro- posals were turned down. But that was not I going to prevent them from organising in future, and they hoped to bring all the organ- isations in Wales together The Federation was based on non par y and non sectarian Iines- He was glad to tell them there were signs that one or two friendly organisations were proposing to come into line and he hoped 'I the new constitution they were about to set up would materially assist towards that end. (Cheers.) Respecting peace celebrations, he thought their local branches ought 'o be the pivotal centres upon which the local celebra- tions should be based. Before concluding he proposed telegrams be sent Sir Douglas Haiglf and Sir David Bea'ty inviting them to Wales when occasion offers to meet the ex-service men and one also to General Birdwood on the anniversary of Anzac Day. The proposal was agreed to. Captain Williams of Newport was unani- mously re-elected president for 1919-20, and Mr D J. S'ephens of Swansea, vice-president. The main features of the new constitution which was unanimously adopted are that the Federation is strictly democratic, non-party, and non-sectarian. Men and women of all units of His Majesty's Forces are eligible for mem- bership, but conscientious objectors are ex- pressly debarred membership of any branch on any conditions. The Federation will co- operate with local administrative bodies and with the Ministry of Pensions to administer all schemes formulated by the Government for the welfare of discharged and demobilised men, particularly the disabled men. BRANCH AT ABERYSTWYTH. A meeting of the newly formed Aberystwyth branch was held at Progress Hall on Fridav when delegates attended and addressed the meeting. Captain Llewellin presided and, in a short, crisp speech, appealed to the boys of Aberyst- wyth to form a vigorous branch and promised to do his utmost in furthering the project. Mr. James, Burryport, encouraged the local branch and urged the members to secure justice Mr. Gibby, Pengam, cited several instances in which his local branch had been of assistance to men. Mr. Molis, Trethomas, appealed to the meet- ing to organise a real live branch, indicating several ways in which the men of Aberystwyth would benefit by forming a vigorous brarch. Captain W H. Williams, president cf the Welsh Federation, appealed <o the moting to organise and work together. He referred to the spirit of the men en t*>e battk'ield t.: d in particular to the landing of the Anzacs at Gallipoli exactly foar rears aco. He rearl .L.elegram from General Birdwood in reply to a congratulatory message from the Welsh Federation. He referred at length to the evil of Bolshevism and stated that the Welsh Federation were out to fight and destroy its propaganda. The Federation that morning wired Sir Douglas Haig inviting him into Wales in connection with the peace celebrations nr je graciously accepted '<he invitation. (Loud cheers.) Immediate arrangements would be made throughout Wales to organise a national reception by all ex-service men in Wales and to co-ordinate with all local authori- be made throughout Wales to organise a national reception by all ex-service men in Wales and to co-ordinate with all local authori- ties in making it a great Welsh national wel- come I All ex-service men were invited to get into ouch with the nearest branch of the Welsh National Federation to participate in this cause. Questions were asked by members of the Aberystwvxh branch and were dealt with by Captain Williams. Mr. Llewellin, Pontypridd, urged the new branch the vital necessity of safeguarding the mteres s of the widow and orphans The widow s pension was 13s. 9d per week and was totally inadequate. Votes of thanks to Capt, Llewellm and the speakers concluded an en- thusiastic meeting.

Aberystwyth Education Committee. | TEACHERS^SALARIES. Aberystwyth District Education Committee met on Monday, presen" Mr. Percy Wilkinson, chairman; Miss Tremain, Mrs. T. Z. Jones, Captain Doughton, the Rev ClIas. Evans Sir Lewis Prye. Captain E. A. L. Powell, Messrs. R. J. R Loxdale, D. C. Roberts, C. M. Wil- liams, Henry Bonsall, J. G. Morris Davies, J. Gibson, T. J Samuel, Jenkin E. Evans, Wm. Morris, Dr. James, David Lewis," John Evans, (Hafodycoed), Isaac Jones, John Griffiths, Rd. Evans, and Jenkin James, director. Mr. Percy 'Wilkinson was re-elected chairman I for the year. The a tendance returns for the month ended March 31st showed the percentage for Abervst- wytfl borough div sion as 85, compared with I 93.1 jn March, 1918. In North of Rheidol divi- sion (group 2), the attendance was 80.3 as com- pared wi h 88.2; Group 3, 74.9 as compared with 83.4; South Rheidol division (Group 4), 77.4 as compared with 85.6; and Group 5, 82.5 as compared with 90. Inclement weather and influenza were given as the causes of low at- tendance. The winner of the banner was Aber- ystwyth Girls Council School. In respect of the county scheme of education to meet the conditions of the new Act ij was agreed to discuss the subject at "he "next meeting and to ask Messrs D. Jones, Talv- bont; M T. Jones, Llanilar; D. Herbert,) Gogman; J. Richards, Devil's Brirt n .( on Saer, and Ainsleigh Jones to at end and take part in the discussion. A monitress at Gors School wrote asking to be recognised as a supplementary teacher and, in --he, discussion which followed, Mr. Bonsall thought the Committee had at their doors an excellent supply of teachers capable of impart- ing knowledge «> infants and that it was not necessary to engage high grade teachers for that purpose. There were other qualities that went to ihe formation of a good teacher besides capacity for passing examinations, and such teachers could be obtained at a far less salary than the high salaries asked for by the N.U.T. —Mr. C. M Williams said "he Comyrittee had a large number of pupil teachers, such as were trained at Talybont and other schools which were the best teachers to-day in the coun',y.- On being asked, the Director said the applicant had been monitress for four years and now asked to be recognised as a supplementary teacher for which she was qualfied. She was trying the preliminary certificate examination a? mc he passed woul<* be entitled to a salary of £ 65. Forty pounds was the salary of a supplementary teacher.—It was agreed on the proposition of Mr. Samuel, seconded by Mr. John Evans, to offer the maximum of £ 25 paid to mom tresses. On the application of the Headmaster of Talybont School, it was agreed to close schools of the district-on May 7th to allow children to Aberystwyth gatl°nal singing festival at I Miss Lena Evans, assistant teacher at Ponter- wyd, sent in her resignation, andj1. was agreed to ask a female teacher on the staff to take the infants as a 'emporary measure. I On the proposition of Mr D. C. Roberts, the report of Aberystwyth Managers were adopted The reports seated that the Director reported to the possibility of transferring an uncerti- Seated teacher to fill the vacancy a1 Cwm- padarn Council (mixed department), caused by the resignation of Miss Charles and it was resolved to fill "he vacancy by the transfer of b ? ™ Morns from Penllwyn Council ocnool. The Managers again considered the I application of the Headmaster of Rhydypennau Council School for an allowance to meet the extra cost of removal Abervstwyth, and the application was not entertained.

Rhys Davies, M.A., who is to commence duties as curate next Sunday, was educated at Llandovery College (seven years), and Jesus College, Oxford (three years). f 'rndover v he was two years in classical sixth V.A. form, took LaMn and Greek prizes, an' obtained distinction in divinity in the Oxford and Cambridge Higher Board examination.

At the invitation of the Chamber of Trade a large number of local returned overseas soldiers and sailors sa, down to an excellent dinner at College Hall on Thursday. Tfhe Mayor (Alder- man E. Evans) presided and regretted the absence of the President (Mr Timothy Richard, Ardwyn). The toast of the uKing" was loyally received. Mr. C. S Smith, in proposing toast of H.M. Forces," gave the boys a hearty welcome home and coupled with the toast Lieut. J. D. Owen, R.N.R., Captain E. Evans, M.C., and Captain A. E. Edwards. Lieutenant J. D. Owen responding, thanked the people of Lampeter for their many acts of kindness to him. He did not believe there were more kinder heared people. There was no need to call for volun- teers to defend the town and the loved ones at home. They did it gladly. (Cheers.)—Dr. E. Evans, M.C., in a happy speech gave reminis- cences of his experiences as medical officer at the front. He referred, in eulogistic terms, to the work of the stretcher bearers, and in- stanced a case during the British offensive on the Somme in 1916 where his stretcher bearers had brought in a man who had been fifteen days in the line. Captain Arthur E. Edwards said he was pleased to be present. That time last year was the critical period of the war. The German offensive, like a flood, swep, over the British last system of trenches between them and the Channel ports. But the pertinacity of the British troops, the ceaseless vigilance of the navy, and the daring deeds of the air force preven ed the enemy reaching his objective. 0 (Cheers.) At present Cologne was occupied by British soldiers and not by satellites of he Kaiser. He praised the work of the civilian population at home, especially "he women, whose labours he described as admirable. He took that opportunity of thanking the Patriotic Fund Committee for sending so many gifts and comforts and for having kept the home fires burning so brightly and cheerfully. (Cheers.) He hoped that the qualities which had bee" displayed during the war would be carried into the work of social re-construction. (Cheers.) r Corporal D. W. Davies proposed the toast. Ie Absent Friends," which was received in sympathetic silence. The Mayor gave the toast of the "College Board" and proposed "hanks to them for the facilities given by holding the dinner at the College Hall. He hoped that the College authorities, who were always ready to assis town, would give them another opportunity of having another dinner in a few weeks time for local soldiers Professor A. W. Scott, in responding, said the College was always pleased, however indirectly, in welcoming the town boys home. Had it not been for the services of their. soldiers and sailors Lampeter might have been been a heap of ruins like Cambrai or Ypres, and the College migh", have been destroyed like the University of Louvain. They were onlv toe glad to co- operate with the town in any crood movement (Cheers.) Lieut Arnold W. Davies proposed the toast of the "Chamber of Trade," and expressed thanks for the happy re-union that evening. Mr. C. S. Smith suitably responded. Subsequently the soldiers and sailers marched to the Memorial Hall when an entertainment was given in their honour. Major B Davies-Evans presided at the con- oetrt. The enter'^ainment was pronounced to have been the best that has ever been held the town. All the artistes were in fine form. The programme consisted of choruses, glees, quintettes, quartettes, solos-patriotic, senti- mental, and topical—monologues. Items were contributed by Mr. W. Lewis's pierrot troupe, Male Voice party (conducted by Mr D. J. Bowen), Ladies' choir (conducted by Jfrs. Richards, Bronfa), Mr. Terwyn Davies's party, Mrs. M. A. Davies, the Misses Eunice Davies, Adeline Megicks, Mollie Jones, Lizzie Davies, Cissie James, Alioe Evans, Messrs. W Lewis, Terwyn Davies, J. B. Williams, Enarys Morris, David Davies, D. M.

The "Geisha" has lost none of i a charm niiM the passing of years and it was not surpris- ing to find the Coliseum on Wednesday eveniMf full of people anxious to hear it performed fcy the Aberystwyth Amateur Operatic Sociely. And the performance was worthy of tie "Geisha." The singing was excellent; indeed. the chorus compared very favourably with tkost of first class companies, t.he singing being ft- ceptionally fine. The "wooden" appearance ef one or two members marred the performasce somewhat. The principal characters fulfilled their parts excellently. Miss J. Lumley as "• Mimosa San," produced he naivetic of 41* Japanese tea girl in an admirable maimer art her acting was very good. But she was aet convincing in her speaking parts, and would fe well to discard the colourks., monotone which so often mars an amateur's, p r; o mance Catherine Jones, as "Mollv Senmore," showed no sign of that defect. Her arting was simple and natural, and full of vivacity and vorrt and she captivated the house at once. She WM the success of the piece. Mr D. W. Teviet- dale as "Wun Hi," a Chinaman, was also a great success. No one but i V ■ n actor could have portrayed such a difficult character as Ot His cements a*5 antics produced spontaneous m.rth and Bfc ShStic inW^en \he tea ch 'P sold wad pathetic m the extreme.
