The difficulty in finding apartments at the Cambrian resorts in August will convince -visitors who are not bound to take their holi- days during the month that they will enjoy themselves more comiortably if they come earlier or later in the season. A correspondent intimately connected with the slate trade, in a Welsh communication appearing on another page, states positively that the reduction in the working hours of quarrymen has not been followed by a decrease in output, but by an increase. An important question arising out of extended leisure is the provision of educational and social facilities for the development of intelligent and progressive communities. Sir Henry Jones has again made Wales his debtor by the strong lead he gave at Corwen for the formation of a movement to associate university education more closely with the re- ligious life of Wales. Intelligent observers admit the force of his survey of the position, I and those who succeed in bridging over the existing chasm will deserve well of posterity. It is to the credit of Sir Henry Jones that he, has initiated this movement which is .calculated to produce beneficial national and social re- sults. ♦ • • As a sequel to an accident in Welshpool Inter- mediate School laboratory a parent asked the Governors to pay a doctor's bill for attend- ance op his son. During a chemistry demon- stration a glass tube burst, the splinters of glass injuring two boys in the face and eyes, and the liquid ruining their suits. Educational authorities are faced with additional responsi- bilities in consequence of these accidents. School governors would be well advised for their own protection to insure pupils and teachers against accidents. Sunday schools are liable for all accidents at treats and out- ings. Owing to the disappointing response, it has been decided to abandon the proposal to enter* tain men from Montgomeryshire who have served overseas. It was stated that what was regarded as a Government promise to give railway passes to men attending receptions of that kind has been withdrawn. The Lord Lieutenant (Sir Watkin Williams Wynn) re- marked there was something better to do nowa- days than attending useless functions. The functions have become useless because the men have been given local receptions of a more hearty character than might be possible cb a larger scale. A fifty-feet pillar is to be erected tm Tower Hill, Montgomery, as the county's war memorial. It is hoped that the King will be able to it Wales next spring to open the sanatoria belonging to the Welsh National Memorial Asso3 ciation at Talgarth, in Breconshire (for male patients), and at Llangwyfan. in the Vale of Clwyd (for female patients). With the know- ledge and experience gained by the Associa- tion, Wales may be able to take a leading part in the international movement to prevent the spread of tuberculosis, a disease which has become during the war more widespread and virulent than ever. To enhance the work of the Association the continuance of public cup- port is greatly needed and, in particular, in the direction of providing for dependents when consumptives are under treatment in institu- tions. • • • The.Sanitary Inspector of Machynlleth Rural Council, in calling attention to the lack of accommodation at Pennal, exemplified the com- mon defects of local authorities in dealing with sanitary requirements. Time after time ibis subject has been considered and instruc- tions given without effect. We do not now Tefor -to, the insanitatfon at Pennal as being exceptional, or to the Council's attitude as dif- exceptional, or to the Council's attitude as dif- fering from the dilly-dallying of other rural councils. They seem to have constant fear of taking decisive action, with tho resmt that there is no finality to the reports and discus- sions on the need of housing improvements, the provision of water supplies, the removal 0\ nuisances, and the prevention of infectious diseases. It is a reproach to any community to suffer these conditions continually. » The United School of Social Service for Wales is to be held at Llandrindod from August 25th to 29th. The Rev Gwilym Davies is secretary, and, as usual, has brought to- gether a number of highly-capable speakers. The programme deals with many vital subjects, although time is to be wasted in discussing "National ideas" which, as is always the case, will result only in talk. This session, how- ever, is to be under the presidency of Professor W. Jenkin Jones of Aberystwyth, and in h;s capable hands it may happen that some little wheat will be garnered from the chaff. Among others who are to take part arc Mr .Edgar "Chappel, the well-known housing expert; Mr. F. S. Higham, Y.M.C.A., Canon David Williams, and Mr. William George. The long drought has come to an end, to the satisfaction of farmers and of towns suf- fering from shortage of water. The position has been serious in many parts of the country and arxiety was fE-It as to the prospects of a wuter famine There are few places as for- tunate as Aberystwyth. It is being suggested that a conference should be held of adminis- trative authorities with the view of consider' ing the formation of a joint scheme for the conservation of the gathering1 grounds and watersheds in Wales in order to guarantee an abundant supply for the whole Principality. One of the essay subjects at next year's National Eisteddfod deals with the water re- sources of Wales. There is ample power going to waste every day; but even for ordinary domestic purposes local sanitary authorities seem to prefer that villagers and school child- ren should drink dirty water than provide a wholesome supply for them. < < The sale of a large part of Derry Ormond Estate afforded Cardiganshire County Council the opportunity of establishing a small holdings colony; but there was evidently a difference of opinion, as well as apprehension of the results of disturbing the tenants. The majority of the farms offered for sale were purchased by the tenants, and the County Council acquired one farm only. A Cardiff paper, in criticising the attitude of the County Council, has ignored the fact that the estab- lishment of small holdings colonies is a Gov- ernment policy, the wisdom of which depends on the need cf providing land for those who have fougiit for it. Experiences of small hold- ings schemes in Cardiganshire have been un- fortunate, with the result that new schemes are regarded suspiciously. There is conse- quently more satisfaction among the ratepayers that the breaking up of large estates tends to develop the system of peasant proprietorship rather than the transfer of ownership from private to public bodies.

POINTS OF VIEW. by J.M.H. ABERAYRON EISTEDDFOD. Except. tor a few blemishes, which only set out, the general completeness of tlio artange- meats, taic Eisteddfod was as near perfection as the sun and earth and man can be. There was wilal is caLed "hwyi" in the pn-oiings. The Englishman has been made to believe that the hwyi" is something connected with preaching and religion. Welshmen are respon- sible for creating this false notion. There may be "hwyl" in an auction, or bazaar, or eis- teddfod, as well as in a pi-eachinz meeting or a prayer meeting. What, then, is "hwyi?" It is the something that gives lite in the dead body of organisation. The arrangements, it is sometimes said, are complete. Nothing remains to be done tliat prevision can devise. And yet there is no "go." Things do not move evenly, harmoniously, joy- fully. The hinges creak. The axles cnk. The bellows wheeze. The "hwyi" is that "go. It comes without rehearsal and prompting. It cannot be produced by delibera- tion, or premeditation, or hard work. Talent and genius cannot evoke it. Pan y myn y daw Fel yr enfys ar gwlaw. And there was "liwyl" at our Eisteddfod. The tent was designed to cover 3.000 people. The floor space was packed. The sides were opened all round, and there was a phalanx of men and women ten deep, a human thick band, which encircled the seated audience. Looking at the audience from the stage, the view was enchanting. Every eye was fixed on the singer. There was no sorrow or joy, no love or hate, no time or eternity—nothing but the enchantment of the moment, h. human soul delighted, multiplied by 4,000. The singers were of a high class. Every winner, tenor, baritone, contralto, soprano, was just superb. Llanpumsaint Mixed Choir belonged to the geniiine Handelian school." So said Dr. Caradoc Roberts. So said the (audience too, though they would not have expressed it in the same words. "Then Round About the Starry Throne" has been reduced by bad singing to the commonplace. Most choirs have sung it, and have sung it anyhow, and, by doing so, it had been debased. Llanrvumsaint Choir restored it to the piano of Handelian majesty. There were five other choirs. Many of them sanff well. It was only Llanpumsaint Choir that gave a true Handelian rendering. There was weight in the voices. The bass rumbled like thunder. The movement from the very start was dignified and majestic. It coincided in men's minds with some innate and instinctive idea of what befitted the hemispheres and "starry thrones." We were at once placed in full view of illimitable spaces where it is meet for the sons of God to sinz together. The leader was not that leader who by his wonder- ful histrionic efforts made the choir ever memorable at an eisteddfod at Lampeter many years ago. That leader was present, I noticed, but he did not Conduct. The lea.der on this occasion was not less dis- 1 tincfire in another way. His beats, unlike that of the other, which were the spasmodic strokes of a magician, moved rhythmically, monotonously like the pendulum of BigvBen. But the man, his back, his arms, and especially his far-e radiated the sublimity of the theme and the rhythm of the music. It was not a choir which ha.d been improvised any- how at the last moment as so many are, in ca-c there was a chance to cal-ry off a money prize. It was a choir which had acquired cohesion and purpose and inspiration and reverence by singing together time after time. They had assimilated the snirit of the music. It left the large audience at the very end of the after- noon meeting in a glow of ecstacy. Something could be written here about the mood of a ct-owd. I have envifcd the experience of a great preacher swaying a multitude. An eisteddfod conductor may have unique experiences too. In the Eisteddfod on Wed- nesday a dramatic crisis was reached when the crowd demanded that the adjudication on the performances of the choirs should be given "there and then." ° The Conductor, prompted by the officials, u °n ^°r a tim« to the prescribed order— that the two concluding items of the afternoon programme should first be disposed of. The crowd grew clamant, insistent, well nigh angry. The Conductor (good humoured iy) beat a retreat, which the people liea,rtilv applauded, when he said: "Trech gwlud," pointing to them, "nac Arglwydd," pointing to himself. ° The money side corresponded with all else. The total amount received exceeded S450 The site of the pavilion proved to be a fortun- ate one; the gradient of the land was exac-tiv to the purpose, and the acoustic conditions werere-rfect. On Thursdav night there wns an addendum to the eisteddfod in the pavilion when Hvwel jbyrddm distinguished himself by his recita- tions. The proceedings on both days were not marred by a single untoward incident. Every fan-y left a blessing. The sure precursor of rain-Abprayron Urban Council water cart—appealed in the dusty streets on Saturday morning for the first time during the season. At two o'clock in the same day, ram came. U.C.W. The meetings of the Council are, in a certain sense, private. In another sense they are not private, for the members are in an indirect way representatives of the people, and again, the results of the meetings are published next day in the newspapers. The meeting on Fri, August 16tli, was unique, because six professional chairs were filled. Also, because a Selection Committee under the rules suggested by the Welsh Uni- versity Commission, had sifted the applications and submitted three in each case, except in that of the Welsh chair, to the Council for the final election. The meeting was also unique in another sense which one would wish that the tenor sola winner of Aberayron Eisteddfod was there to sing "How vain is man," or that "Hywel Myrddin" was there to recite "0 wad some pow'r the giftie gie us." Major David Davies sat patiently in the chair for seven hours. That he was present was a sign of his unabated interest in the College, for it was the first meeting after the death of Principal Roberts. This College is the first. It is the people's College. Its first and second principals were men, not only who had won the highest academical distinctions, but were great and good men too. The rule is, that the men who excel as scholars are mere automatons. The man is lost in the expert. That will be the difficulty in appointing a suc- cessor to such men as Principal T. C. Edwards and Principal T. F. Roberts. Who is there to succeed in this order? It is good that the Council decided that the newly-elected Principal must speak Welsh. That will narrow down the choice. I adore the Press. And yet I am obliged to find that there are men who use it to em- bitto. and mislead, to create prejudice, to put poople on a false scent, in order to sorve a personal or a friend's end. It is sometimes done viciously, sometimes ignorantly. Editors and sub-editors are sometimes taken in hv these plausible journalists. Sometimes they are accessories. For example. Mrs Lloyd George was invited to attend a meeting of the Cardiganshire Liberal Association at Lam. peter. The journalist wrote to the papers to say that that was the wnv adopted by Mr. Ernest Evans and his friends, to promote his Parlia- mentary nims. Mr. Asquith hns been invited to address tho Liberals of Cardiganshire. The journaFst writes to the papers that it is proposed to in- duce Mr. Asquith to succeed Mr. Vaughan Davies as member for Cardiganshire. There was never » semblance of a vestige of truth in these mischievous insinuations. They are without a phantom of a ghost of a fact. Already paragraphs have been written stating at this man and that man is a candidate for the princinalship. and that this powerful sec- tion and that powerful section backs til's man and opposes the other. It is to be hoped that this kind of warfare is not to he wan-ed at Aberystwyth. The appointment, w;II be made "yn wyneb haul a g^leuni." Pan godo haul, ymgasglant a goreddant yn en llochesau. I devoutly hope that the Council of Aberyst- wyth College is not roing ti be exploited or cajoled, or bamboozled bv this brood, and that it will not be st^a.ndcd in Cardiff surf In my own opinion the most magnificent act that, a ("onnr iJ composed mainly of ■ graduates ever did was to elect Mr. T. Gwyrn Jones, M A., to b~ «rnfos"or of W?Hh !iteiatnre. Mr. T. Gwynn Jones is not a graduate in exactlv the way as the thousand and one graduates of the age, although he earned his decree. His erudition and H<: rientnl equipment have nevertheless rc-eived the f,,Il recognition nf the redanf-q thn act of Friday proved.

Enhancing Aberystwyth ( Attractions. The large increase in the number of bowl- ing greens laid down ••hroughout the country is a criterion of the increasing popularity of the pastime. As in other directions Aber- ys wyth is taking a leading part in popular- ising bowling, not only &9 a game, but also as a means of enhancing the attractions of the town as a popular seaside resort, and the progressive Bowling Club has made an enter- prising innovation with those objects in view It has been arra.nged to hold two weeks of annual competitions far the benefit of visit- ors. At far as possible, the jwo weeks will ho- regarded as permanent fixtures, the first com- petition to ",ake place during Whit-week and the second in the third week of August. The Corpora-ion has met the Bowling Club ':n a generous spirit by presenting a. valuable and beaiutiful trophy in the form of a. massive silver cup (value fifty guineas) for the com- petition. The inscription beneath the arms of Aberystwyth is "Aberystwyth Bowling Club, 1919. Presented by the Mayor and Corpora- tion of Aberystwyth." On top of the cup is a figure of a bowler using the woods. The competition is open to visitors only and the cup mua. be won three times, not necessarily in succession before it comes the property of the winner who receives a first prize in addi- tion. The "Ceredigion" Challenge Cup (valnn thir .y guineas) is presented by the trede*- I men of the town and is open to all. It has I t:) be won twice in succession or three in all to become the property of the winner who also receives a first, prize in addition. The competitions are being played under the Darl- ington rules with two wocds of No. 3 bias and games of 21 up. Two-Thirds of the entrance fees in each competition are devoted to the provision of prize. Besides the two. cup marches other matches are being arranged. including a rink competition. The referees during the week are Mr. W. Topliss. Capt D. Jones, Iolanthe; Mr R. Rowlands North- parade; Capt. D. Jone.1, Nythfa, treasurer: Mr W. H. Jone-, mayor of the green; and Mr D. Emrys Williams, secretary. There are forty-six entries for the Corpora- tion cup who commenced playing- on Monday, and forty-five for -,he "Ceredigion" cup, who commenced on Tuesday. For the former play proceeded during the day and for the latter in the evenings. During the slimmer the green lias become exceedingly popular among visitors and it is hoped by me-ams of the annual competitions that the popularity will he expended with the result tha, the number of visitors f-r. Aberyst- wyth will be consequently increased. The finals for the Corporation Cup \fcce played on Wednesday afternoon. The winner was Mr Thomas Wilson. Severn, Victoria Park, Tipton, Staffs. He btat Mr A. Sankey, Poplar-road, Edgbaston, Birmingham, 21-15. Tn the semi-finals Mr .Wilson beat Mr Sankey. Williams. Hacbourne, Birmingham, 21-19 and Mr Sankey beat Mr William Mock, Rochdale (formerly of Newton, an old international), 21-19. The cup winner al-0 won the first prize of C4, the runner-up £2, and the semi- finalists El each. The cup and prizes were presented on Thursday afternoon by the Ma. vore^s. The finals for the Ceredigion Cup are to be played this (Friday) afternoon. The home players are m.Lintaining their reputation in the competition.

Aberystwyth Carnival. IN AID OF THE INFIRMARY. In connection with the annual Infirmarv collection at Aberystwyth a successful carnival on Wednesday night was watched by thou- sands of visitors and residents along the route from the Smithfield through the main streets "o the Town Hall.

Judging took place at the Smithfield and the results were announced by Mr. Loveday on the Town Hall steps where the prizes were distributed by the Mayor (Alderman E. P. Wynne).

Llanilar Agricultural Show SUCCESSFUL REVIVAL. Like all other similar gatherings, the annual show of Llanilar and North Cardiganshire Agriculturê1 Societies was one of tlie war victims; but it was'suecessfully resuscitated on Wednesday. Both as regards attendance and exhibits, the show appeared to have extended its attractions. Compared with the previous show held in 1915, the number of exhibitors was larger, showing that more general interest was taken, though the exhibits were not as numerous. The piinc.pal feature was the light horse section, and the cobs shown were the best that could be found in the Principality. The Judge expressed particular satisfaction with the useful type of liorses. Sir Lovedcn Pryse, the Squire of Gogerddan, wlio took per- sonal interest in the classes, had offered a challenge cup for the best Welsh cob brood mare, and the winner, belonging to Mr Davies, Pant, was of a beautiful type. Of the agri- cultural horses, there was a strong class of mares and foals, though seine of the mares were rather short of foot. Mr. James, Allt- !wyd Farm, who won the Shire Horse Society's medal, showed a good mover. The foals were considered fit for any show. The Society is fortunate in having Mr. R. J. R. Loxdaie, the Squire of Castle Hill, as presi- dent since the show was established in 1904- he has occupied the presidency and, as in previous years, he lent the use of the field and entertained on a generous scale.

Comrades Column. (By F. S. Trufant, Hon. Sec. Aberarth Branch) The first meeting of the Joint Executive Committee. Welsh National Grand Council, was held at Shrewsbury on Friday and there was a full attendance. Major General Sand- bach was unanimously elected chairman. The Committee considered the question cf appoint. ments to Welsh National Headquarters staff, and it was agreed that all positions should be advertised. It was decided that selected applicants for the appointments will be inter- viewed at Aberystwyth on the 12th September when this Committee will meet before the meeting of the Welsh National Grand Council. The following were unanimously elected for the Finamoa and General Purposes Committee for Wales:—Major General A. E. Sandbach, Colonel Freear-Ash, Colonel James, Captaia Franklin Thomas, Comrade F. S. Trufant Comrade A. E. Davies and Comrade F. H. A: Jones. Captain Appleby's offer of his services until next January was gratefully accepted. The next meeting of the Committee was fixed at Aberystwyth on the 12th September, sub- sequent meetings to take place every two months, and to be peripatetic, each meeting to decide the place of next meeting. The "Comrades" have now 1,479 Units in the United Kingdom and 81 overseas. New units continue to be formed at the rate of over 100 per month. For example dur.ng the week ending July 3rd two new branches and 26 new posts were formed, and during the month no fewer than 59 posts hare developed into branches. In South Africa the Associa- tion is recognised by the Government and continues to progress in a gratifying fashion. Johannesburg at the endi of June had a membership of over 6,000 with in addition a steadily-growing women's auxiliary. Over 265 Comrades Clubs, many of them residential, have been established. As evidence of the Comrades other Igactical activities. Head- quarters, alone took up 200 fresh pension cases and brought 56 of them to a satisfactory con- clusion and the employment department registered 445 additional applicants for work and found posts for 126. Having drawn the attention of the Munitions Ministry to the undue proportion of discharged soldiers notice to cease employment at the National Aircraft Factory at Wadden, whilst women and men who had never served were retained at higia salaries. Comrade Colonel Ashley was in- formed that seme of the men had left of. their awn accord and ethers had been discharged owing to necessary reduction in staff. It was further asserted that everything possible had been done to provide the men with suitable employment, and it was promised that Colonel Ashley's suggestion that those men should have been given the option of transfer to another suita-ble Government establishment would be considereu. Satisfaction is felt by Cardiganshire Comrades that the Town Coun- cil of Aberystwyh had decided to give a civic welcome to the Comrades Welsh NationaJ Grand Council at Aberystwyth on Friday, September 12th. Lastly and this is a decision that must affect thousands the same cham- pions of discharged men and dependants have been informed that parents who omitted to claim separation allowances due on behalf of their sons before demobilisat on of the letter have every right to the money, which, in many cases has been refused them and therefore they should now again apply.
