I Crickhowell Golf Club Revived. Mr. E. Pirie Gordon presided at a meeting ot the Crickhowell Golf Club on Tuesday night, at the Bear Hotel, Crickhowell, called to consider whether the Club shall be continued. Among those present were Dr. A. E. Jones and Messrs. Tom Watkins, H. D. Goodehilcl, J. D. Sheppeard, (N.P. & U. Bank), J. Phillips (Lloyds Bank), James Isaac, W. V. Jones, J. W. Jones, Benjn. Watkins, Capt. R. L. Masters, &c. The Chairman said there was a general feeling thatt the Crickhowell Golf Club should be re- vived. As they were aware, it only remained dormant during the war. The Club had had a very successful career, the links at Penmyarth were first rate, and generally the outlook was favourable. Dr. A. E. Jones said he had spoken to Lord Glanusk regarding the tenancy of Penmyarth links, and lie had agreed to let them the course at a nominal rental. (Hear, hear). His Lord- ship expressed a wish that the Club would be restarted, and he (Dr. Jones) hoped Lord Glanusk would become a member and. find time to play. The meeting unanimously decided to continue the Club and Mr. Tom Watkins, home from the States, at one time reputed to be the fastest bowler in Wales, a brother of Mr. Benjamin Watkins and the late Major J. J. Watkins and Mr. J. Vaughan Richards were appointed joint secretaries.' Mr. J. D. Shepheard was elected treasurer, and the following were appointed on the Greens Committee Captain, Secretaries, Treasurer, and Dr. A. E. Jones. The ChairmatlJ in proposing the re-election of Mr. Benjamin Watkins as captain, said he did very well in this position before the war. Mr. W. V. Jones seconded and it was carried unanimously. Dr. A. E. Jones stated that the Club had a balance of £6 in hand. The pavilion was in good condition and if the greens received attention the course would soon be ready. New members would join, including Mr. Guy Dobell, a well- known golfer. (Hear, hear). > It was resolved to employ the groundsman of the Crickhowell Cricket Club in mowing the greens and preparing the course, described by a member as one of the finest in the Principality. Lord Glanusk was elected president. <4-

DISAPPOINTING ANGLING SEASON. I < SALMON HATCHERY FOR THE USK. A general meeting of the Usk Board of Con- servators was held at the Town Hall, Aberga- venny, on Thursday. Mr. Reginald Herbert j presided, and there were also present Mr. R. Rickards (yice-chairman, Lord Glanusk, Sir I Arthur Herbert, Mr. J. O. Marsh, Mr. L. ;.1., Pvni, Mr. B. W. Powlett, Col. W. Williams, Mr. Douglas Graham, and Mr. W. G. James. The Chairman said he thought they ought to congratulate Lord Glanusk on recovering from his recent accident. (Hear, hear). They were I very glad to see him among them again. Col. Williams returned thanks for his re- election to that Board, in which lie took great interest. Worst Period For Many Years. I Head Water Bailiff Shah Farr, in his four- monthly report for the Monmouthshire district, said that it had been the worst period, from the angler's point of view, for a great many years past. The drought set in early in May and the summer had been practically dry. Most un- fortunately the drought set in at a time when the river gave promise of a good quantity of summer fishing, and in the opinion of some, if there had been frequent floods there would have been a good salmon season. Only 28 salmon had been taken between May 1st and August 1st, a number which was scarcely worth mentioning. There were no reports of disease, although he expected to find the fish dying in quantities. He had known the Usk for well over 30 years and he had never known the water so low for so long a period. From the 1st of August many of the tributaries became dry. Especially was this the case with the Cwmdu brook, which gave out, with the result that a number of trout and salmon died and had to be buried. The pollution of the Clydach brook from the Brynmawr sewage had been, and still was, terrible. It was practically nothing better than an open sewer. With regard to tar spraying, he had seen a quantity of tar washings leaving the roadsides after recent rain. He had watched carefully for the results in the river, but had noticed nothing. It was quite possible that by the time it reached the river it might have become harmless to fish life. Brynmawr Sewage Pollution. I Lord Glanusk said that as regarded the tar' it did not do so much harm to the fish as to the flv. The- Clerk said that was quite true. It also did harm to the spawning beds. The Chairman asked if they had no remedy against the Brynmawr sewage. The Clerk said that they had a remedy, but the matter had been on for years. The local authority had a scheme prepared before the war, and if that scheme was carried out they had reason to believe that it would to a very large extent put an end to- the pollution. Lord Glanusk said that there had been a very bad outbreak of typhoid at Clydach lately, and it was likely that something would be done. The Clerk said that the scheme was approved, and he believed that permission to borrow the money had been granted, but the difficulty was that they had not been able to get on with the work. Mr. J. O. Marsh said that the state of affairs in the Clydach valley was appalling. He attended a meeting of the inhabitants there some weeks ago. The place was rampant with typhoid, and the water was contaminated by the Brynmawr sewage. The water rose on the same side as the sewage was brought down from Brynmawr, and the line of sewer pipes was so defective that it leaked the whole of the way down, with the consequence that the water was impregnated. He did think that they should do something. The Clerk had said that there was a scheme, but this had been going on for 10 years and he could not hear that there was any move being made at all. There had been two Local Government Board inquiries, but nothing had resulted. He thought that they ought to do something, not only from their point of view, but also from the public point of view. Mr. W. G. James said that he was chairman of the deputation from Crickhowell which visited the Ministry of Health about three weeks ago on the matter. There had been a terrible outbreak of typhoid at Llanelly. The Crickhowell Rural Council had been pressing this matter for years. As Mr. Marsh had said, there had been two in- quiries, but nothing definite had been done. The sewage would probably have been disposed of in another way by now if the Brynmawr Council had been able to obtain the funds to carry out the scheme. They were promised at the Ministry of Health that everything that could be done to further the proposed scheme of the Brynmawr Council would be done, and he was hoping that very shortly some action would be taken. He should be very pleased if the Board would send a complaint to the Minis- try of Health, because it would strengthen the hands of the Crickhowell Council. He proposed that a letter be sent. Mr. Marsh seconded and said he hoped that a strong letter would be sent. The Clerk said that the sanitary point of view did not concern them as a Board, and they would probably only be snubbed if they referred to it. There was no reason why a letter should not be sent, if they confined themselves to the fishing interests. It was decided to send letters to the Bryn- mawr Council and the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries. Head Water Bailiff Riggs, in his report for the Brecon district for the past four months, stated that the past season had been a. very disappoint- ing one, on account of the long drought. Even- ing fishing on the whole had been fairly good, considering the drought and the high tempera- ture of the water, which, interfered with fly fishing so much. Trout were not so plentiful above Brecon as usual, but below Brecon they were fully normal. No salmon had been taken in the Brecon district since April, although several had been seen lying in the pools from Brecon downwards. j Salmon Returns. The Clerk reported that the returns of salmon caught during the past four months was as follows Monmouthshire, 28, weighing 354t. bs., compared with 45 weighing 5 ï6 105. Brecon- shire, 4, compared with 14. Stop-nets, 8, weighing Sgitfts., compared with 39 weighing 454lbs. Not a single hah was caught in June, July or August. A Salmon Hatchery. I Lord Glanusk suggested that they should establish a hatchery in the Usk. He had just come back from Norway, where there were very successful hatcheries, oil which the rivers en- tirely depended. The reports of the »water bailiffs always stated that there was no lack of pink in the rn er, but he should say that there was not one-tenth of the number they used to have in the old days. It was an experiment, but it had been tried in many rivers with great success. If they could do anything to improve salmon fishing in the Usk he thought they ought to do it. (Hear, hear). If the Board adopted the idea he would be prepared to give a site and to provide a man to look after it. It was a simple thing and very inexpensive to put up. The Chairman said that there were millions of salmon pink in the river, but not one in a thousand could get down to the sea, on account I of the Newport sewage. Lord Glanusk said he did not know much about it, but why could they not pnt them straight into the sea from the hatcherv The Chairman said that to transfer the fish suddenly from fresh water to the sea would kill them. Mr. Powlett They must get their sea coat firs}:. Mr. Richards said that he was entirely in favour of the proposal. The meeting approved of the suggestion, several members undertook to guarantee iioo until the expenditure was constitutionally sanctioned b\ the Board, and Lord Glanusk was asked to put the work in hand.

EWIAS HAROLD SHEEP SALE. The annual ewe sale at Ewias Harold took place on Friday last, when Messrs. Straker, Son and Chadwick had one of the largest entries yet pitched, 1,700 sheep being penned. The quality, however, was inferior to previous years. The demand was very slow for other than first class éwes, which found ready 'buyers. The trade greatly improved towards the end, ewes making up to 86s. 6d. apiece. About 50 per cent. of the sheep were sold.

Wednesday—Before Col. W. Williams (in the chair), Mr. D. Howell James and Mr. John I Evans. Took It Out Of The Door. Ann Griffiths, of the Tudor Arms, Tudor- street, summoned Nora James for assault and also for. wilful damage to a door to the extent of 15s. Complainant said that she was going up I Nevill-street with her husband, on the loth, and defendant and her man were standing in the street. Her little boy was in the street, and I she said to him Isn't it about time you went to bed ?" Defendant said" K 0, I am not going to bed," and witness replied that she was not alluding to her, but to her little boy. De- fendant then pushed her and also struck her in the eye. Witness went and put the little boy to bed and defendant and her man came outside the house and defendant took a running kick at the door and used insulting language. The panel of the door was broken, and also the bolt. Witness estimated the damage at 15s. Richard Griffiths, husband of complainant, corroborated. John Welsh said that he was stood at the end of Nevill-street and saw defendant strike Mrs. Griffiths. Defendant said that she was coming down Nevill-street and saw Mrs. Griffiths and her husband. Complainant called her a lie-by," and witness asked her what she meant by it, to which she replied That's good enough for you.' Witness replied I am as good as you are," and defendant retorted Am you ? You are not." Complainant then pushed her in the chest, and witness pushed her back. Complainant also scratched her across the face and witness hit her with her fist. Witness went home, and com- plainant said she would have another go at her. Witness went home and took her frock off and went down to complainant's door and asked her to come out. She only tapped at the door with her fist. Thomas Henry Jones, who said he was a friend of the defendant's, said that Mrs. Griffiths insulted Mrs. J anfes and called her a lie-by." What that is I don't know," added witness, but it is up to you gentlemen to decide that." Complainant shoved her and Mrs. James shoved her back in self-defence. The blow that was meant for Mrs. Griffiths he (witness) got in the mouth. Mrs. James afterwards knocked at Mrs. Griffiths's door. As for the panel of the door being broken, there was nothing the matter with it at all. Defendant did not kick the door. Sergt. Prosser said that he saw Jones's mouth bleeding from the blow which Mrs. James meant to give Mrs. Griffiths. The Bench asked Sergt. Prosser to go to examine the door, and on his return he said that one of the panels had been split and' a staple had been knocked out. The Bench fined defendant 10s. for the assault 'and 15s. for the damage. Too Much For Whisky. Emily B. Baron, licensee of the Cantreff Inn, was summoned for selling whisky above the maximum price, and also with failing to exhbiit a proper notice showing the prices. Clara James was summoned for aiding and abetting. Mr. W. H. Hopwood prosecuted for the Food Control Committee, and said that the price charged showed a profit of 50 per cent. above the ordinary price. Inspector W. Evans, divisional inspector, said that on the 2nd of September he called at the Cantreff Inn and asked for whisky. He heard Clara James speak to the licensee, and she said that it was bulk whisky. He was served with a fifth of a gill and was charged 6d., or at the rate of 2s. 6d. per gill, instead of 2S. id. provided that it was whisky of not less than 35 u.p. He was served from a plain bottle, and the strength and maximum price was not on it. He told Mrs. Baron that he was not satisfied with the strength of the whisky, and he took a sample for analysis and divided it into three parts. The analysis showed that it was 46.07 u.p., which reduced the price to is. 8d. per gill. The licensee said I did not know that I was not doing right." The Bench fined the licensee £ 5, including costs, and Clara James £ 1 including costs. Only Happy a Fortnight. John Welsh, grocer's carter, of 53 Tudor- street, was summoned by his wife, Bertha Welsh, for persistent cruelty, and application was made for a separation order and maintenance. Complainant stated that she was married to defendant two years last February, at the registry office. His cruelty commenced about a fortnight after they were married, when he hit her about. On the 5th of September he came down Tudor-street drunk, pulled her off the doorstep and flung her across the road against the wall. On the nth he came in drunk about 10 o'clock. About 12 o'clock when she came out of the bedroom he went to throw her down- stairs with the baby in her arms. He tore the blouse off her back. She went out, and he locked her out for twenty minutes. On the 12th she was coming from the fish shop and saw de- fendant and another young man standing in Tudor-street. Her boss was drunk, and she spoke to him a bout being drunk, and he replied that it made no odds to her, as it was not she who paid for the beer. She replied that it would be fitter for him to give her the money, seeing that he was out of work. He then hit her in the face. She had left him and had gone to her mother's. Defendant On the 5th did I come home drunk ?—Yes, you was bottled up. (Laughter). -Thomas Thomas, a boy, said that on the 5th he saw defendant, who ws drunk, pull his wife off the doorstep and punch her. On the 12th he hit her across the face. Emily Taylor, of 53 Tudor-street, who was called by the defendant, said she and Mrs. "Welsh waited by the end of Nevill-street on the 12th for the defendant, and complainant said If he has brought me fried fish and chips for my supper I will put them on the floor and jump on them." When she went in he was reading the paper and he never said a word to her, but she started on him like a pickpocket. Witness did not know what happened afterwards, but witness told her that she went to her mother's because she was ill. About 1.30 that night, when Mr. Welsh, was in bed, she came up and shook the doors, and she had done it on other nights. They could not get anv rest for her. Complainant had told witness that she did not know what it was for her husband to raise his hand on her since they were married, and she had got him under her finger and. ebuiiii). Mrs. Knight, a sister of the defendant, said that complainant was continually nagging at him. He did not heve a bit of peace for her at any time. He gave her his money when he was working and she never got. a meal for him. Complainant He never will work. The Bench granted a separation order, with the payment of 17s. 6cl. per week maintenance. Defendant Who is to maintain the furniture —me or her ? The Magistrates' Clerk That is a matter between vou. +

CRICKHOWELL POLICE COURT. Y\ ednesday—Before Mr. E. Pirie Gordon (in the eliair), Dr. P. E. Hill and Mr. Gwilym C. James. A QUESTION OF TDm!- \\ïlliam Edmund Skidmore, licensee of the Horse Shoe Inn, Llau- gynidr, was summoned for supplying a glass of whisky, through his wife, during prohibited hours and Herbert Lewis, miner, of Penygarn House, 36 Glynmawr-street, Abertillery, was charged with aiding and abetting. Mn Thos. Vaughan, Crickhowell; appeared to prosecute on behalf of the police, and Mr. J. G. Bishop, of Abergavenny, defended.—Mr. Bishop said it might shorten the case if at the outset he stated* I that the only question in dispute was one of time. The supply of whisky was admitted.— P.C. Henry Jones (25), stationed at Llangvnidr, stated that he visited the Horse Shoe Inn, Llan- gynidr, at 5.45 p.m. on the 31st July. In the bar kitchen he found four men on a table near by he also found a glass containing whisky, a syphon of soda water, a half-pint beer bottle, and a glass (empty) which had contained beer. He iouua Mrs. skidmore In a room behind the bar kitchen. He asked her why she had supplied intoxicating liquor during prohibited hours, and she answered I am very sorry it happened." He asked her for a bottle to take a sample, which she gave him. He took the sample and then asked who she had supplied the whisky to. Mrs. Skidmore answered "I don't know which of them ordered it. I think it was the one that is just gone out." Herbert Lewis then spoke up saying It's my drink I hope you won't make anything of it. I haven't touched it yet. It's no good trying to get out of it." Witness called attention to the beer bottle and glass, and Mrs. Skidmore said that had been there since the mid-day hours. The sample (produced) was whisky. It did not appear to have been touched. The time by the clock in the bar kitchen after he had taken the sample was 5.45 p.m. He called the attention of Mrs. Skidmore to it and she made no reply. One of the company said, pointing to the whisky, That was the only drink which came in we were waiting till six." —Mr. Bishop said the defence was that Mrs. Skidmore supplied the drink, believing Lewis's statement that it was 6 o'clock.—Herbert Lewis said he was wholly responsible for Mrs. Skidmore supplying the wnisky. It was 6 o clock by his watch and he really believed this was the time.- Mr. Vaughan Although Mrs. Skidmore's clock, hanging up in the room where you were,showed the time tolbe 5-45 !—Lewis I did not notice the clock.—The Bench fined Mrs. Skidmore fr and costs, seeing that she was apparently in- fluenced by Lewis's statement that the time was 6 o'clock. Lewis, in consideration of the fact that he had served his country, would pay £I and costs. SUNDAY APPLES.—William White and Thomas Gould, of Brynmawr, were charged with stealing apples.—P.C. Parker, Clydach, said that at 4.30 a.m. on Sunday morning he met the defendants coming from the direction of Gilwern with a bag of apples. After some questions defendant ad- mitted that they took the apples from Dyffryn Clydach, Gilwern. Witness took them back to this place and afterwards had them conveyed to the Crickhowell Police Station.—The Chairman (to defendants) You are both earning good money, and yet you have the cheek to steal other people's apples on a Sunday morning.—Fined i each. DOG CASES.—Major Webster, Glangrwyney Court, Crickhowell, for allowing two dogs to be at large, was fined 7s. 6d. in each case. He was also fined 15s. for not having collars on the dogs bearing his name and address.—Isaac Jenkins, Oaklands, Crickhowell, was charged with allow- ing his dog to be at large unmuzzled, and fined 7s. 6d. A similar fine was imposed on Thomas Davies, of Needham's-row, Beaufort, .for a like offence.- John Munckley, of Tymawr Farm, Gilwern, was charged with neglecting to muzzle his dog, and fined 7s. 6d.—A charge of allowing his dog to be at large without a collar preferred against David Davies, Talsarn, Cwmdu, was dismissed. HUSBAND AXD WIFE !-Harry Thompson and Annie Thompson, of Church-street, Crickhowell, were summoned for using abusive and threaten- ing language.—Sergt. Edwards said defendants were using very bad language in their bedroom late one night.—Mrs. Thompson I was only answering my husband back.—Sergt. Edwards Nothing of the kind. You were making use of filthy language. Witness handed up a slip of paper to the Bench giving a sample of the words used. Mr. Gwilvm C. James It is very disgraceful that their little children should hear such language. Sgt. Edwards Thompson came down and said he was sorry. He had been much annoyed by his wife coming home late.—Supt. Williams Thompson has been leading the life of a respect- able citizen for many years now. He was with the colours in France for several years. I am afraid the wife is to blame in this case. -—Mrs. Thompson was fined 7s. 6d. and bound over to keep the peace, but the charge against the husband was dismissed: t p

I CRICKHOWELL. I PUBLIC LIBRARY.—At a meeting of the trustees of the Percy Davies Institute Library on Tuesday it was decided to subscribe to Smith's Library, and the public is being appealed to to support this useful institution, in which the late Mr. J. A. Doyle, an author and booklover, took so keen an interest (he made valuable be- I quests of books to the Library) and with the welfare of which Sir Charles P. Lucas, the dis- tinguished Colonial Administrator, is so closely concerned. qf4, 4 ■ ACCIDENT.—While on a visit to Crickhowell last week Mrs. Davies, widow of the late Mr. Wm.

D. R. Jones, M.A., Cardiff, officiated. EMERGENCY HOSPITAL.—Renovation work is proceeding at Ivy Tower, now being converted into an emergency hospital in memory of the fallen, and Lord Glanusk, who placed Ivy Tower fa l len, at the disposal of the committee on very favour- able terms and subscribed handsomely to the funds, is taking an active interest in the work.

NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR THE BLIND. I To the Editor of thp 11 Abergavenny Chronicle." I DEAR SIR,—May I be allowed to appeal for help to enable Sir Arthur Pearson to continue his beneficent efforts for the blinded soldiers and civilians ? Although the war is now happily over, the work for blind soldiers will go on for many years. The 1,400 men who have lost their sight in the war will all be supervised for life in their homes by our After-care Department, supplied with materials, and their finished goods sold for them. In addition to this work for blinded soldiers, the following are a few of the agencies which promote the happiness and material welfare of blind civilians Relief of the destitute blind. Support of local workshops for the blind and 11.willtenance in them of those who lose their sight in industrial life. The printing and publishing of books, magazines, and music in Braille type, also a weekly newspaper. Home teaching of the blind. Instruction in massage, and obtaining em- ployment. Convalescent homes. Residential Club for blind women. Home for blind babies. Promotion of higher education. Obtaining engagements for organists and piano tuners. Mr. T. H. Mordey, J.P., of Cardiff, has pre- sented to the Institute a mansion in Gloucester- shire which will be used as a college for the blind, and this will of course entail a heavy annual ex- penditure for maintenance. Any help which your readers may be able to render, whether in the form of a donation or personal service in raising money locally, will be very warmly appreciated. If they would close their eyes for a few moments and try to realise what permanent blindness means, I think we might rely upon their kind, co-operation in assisting those who are so dreadfully handi- capped. Yours faithfully, G. H. HODGES. I South Wales Branch 98, Queen-street, Cardiff.
