TRIBUNALS AND THE V.T.C.
TRIBUNALS AND THE V.T.C. At the Barmouth Local Tri- bunal held last Thursday, a cir- cular was read from the Army Council stating that Tribunals should keep a more careful record of men exempted on condition that they should join the V.T.C. Where the condition on which a certificate of exemption was granted was not complied with that certificate did not come into force, and the man was liable for military service without further appeal to the Tribunal by the Recruiting Authorities. If, how- ever, after some time a man found he could not fulfil the con- dition h £ could ask the tribunal to withdraw that condition, and the recruiting authorities were also expected to give any de- faulters a warning. Men in categories A 1, B 1, and C 1, who have been granted exemp- tion on condition they join the V.T.C. are liable to be oalled up for Military Service, if they do I not attend, sign the necessary forms, and fully comply with the regulations. In the case of men classified B 2, B 8, C 2, and C 3, tribunals are advised to impose, where they think that can be done without causing undue hardship, a condition necessita- ting the holders to do some work of national importance, such as agriculture, etc. The Barmouth I Local Tribunal wish it to be understood, that conditions granted will be strictly observed. It was reported that the medi- cal categories bad been revised, the C class being merged into B. As the latter classes are for I foreign service no man will now be sent abroad without further examination. Men dissatisfied with their I classification can apply to the County Tribunal for re examin- ation by the Appeal Medical Board, which for Merionethshire l "t' L' 1 sits at Liverpool. j
,DEPARTURE OF THE IRev. FATHER…
DEPARTURE OF THE I Rev. FATHER WILCOCK. OUR readers will learn with the deepest possible regret of the intending departure of the Rev. I Father Wilcock. For twenty-two years he has worked quietly, I unobtrusively and diligently in I the Vineyard of the Master in this town. J I Though labouring in what might appropriately be termed a Foreign Land, during that long period he made a host of friends, and greatly endeared himself tothe inhabitants generally. The thougt of missing his familiar figure in the street, of being deprived of his cheerful and witty remarks, fills the heart with depression. His was an optimistic nature, al- ways cheerful, always smiling— never drawing a long miserable face, as if religion were a burden. His removal from our midst will be another familiar land-mark obliterated. When he first entered upon bis labour of love at our little seaside town, among the Welsh hills, he was grieved to see that the ancient and glorious Church which he represented—the Church of the old Welsh people, was housed in an insignificant corrugated building, where the Rev. Father Donovan, of re- spected memory, spent the latter years of his active life. Father Wilcock, with a keen insight of the future possibility of his noble Church in Wales, immediately conceived the idea of erecting a Church worthy of the cause, worthy of the great Body it represented, and worthy of the Master he so zealously served. He set to work with an energy born of hope and faith, prompted by love. He met with difficulties and obstacles that would prove too much for a man of a weaker nature-of less determination. He was fortun- ately spared to see his energetic efforts crowned with success. His ideals were i-ealized--hi-, great achievement will remain a lasting monument to bis memory for ages to come. He leaves be- hind him as the direct result of his untiring efforts, one of the J most beautiful Churches in the Diocese, in which he recently caused to be placed a costly and exquisite organ. This magnifi- cent edifice, with house attached, cost ovea i £ 5,000, the collection of which was no small achievement for one man. All this was accom- plished without the blowing of trumpets, in a quiet Christian I spirit, A little over three years ago, when an influx of Belgian Refu- gees arrived in the town, the work became too arduous for his declining years—being over 70 years of age. He has reluctantly decided to leave the spot he grew to love so dearly, and retire to private life. He testifies that it grieves him sorely to leave so many friends behind, and to turn ¡ his back upon the Church he so dearly lovos. With sincerity \"0"; i ,(.1 j L. f' J. & UJ wish his declining years to be those of peace and contentment, for we know of no one to whom the words of the Master can be more truly appropriated: t6 Well done, good and faithful servant Thou hast been faithful over a few things, I ivill make thee ruler over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord"
