A meeting of the Carnarvonshire Commit-tee for jtho Prevention and Relief of Distress was held at Carnarvon, on Satttrdny. the lie v. W. Moiguu (St. Ann's) presiding.. rtiitte to t.e sclie-trie. for p)-o Work for women, and the Chairman said he rather feared that it hud been a failure altogether, as far a,6 that committee was concerned. Knitting paachincs \ve*v promised titfc lie tneadu dilutee, but found impossible to secure wool at a price which would enable the scheme to pav its way. Mr H. Parry askeu whether it was not i. ntended to articles to told'en by way ot Ififts? The Chairman: It was intended to help women in distress through tin' war. lhe idea was to sell the articles made to the Army authorities at the Usual retail prices, wh'.cu would enable the women jj to have the profits so as to make it possible for tliem to Ixi takeri th^ conitrtitt-ec 3 bocks. I have been told, however, that, some ot t■ *e thou- N sands ol clsolera belts, which havo been con- Memued, have reach'-d Bethesda. and it ia in- tended to ask sehool <hiidren to unpick them. Jfiiey are trying to obtain bälL-a-dozclt machines to utilise that wooi. 1 Mr 11. Parry thought th.it it would be pro- j fitable to sell the articles to the Government. Dr. Parry: There are not many people who do not pet something out of tjie Government nowa- 1,1 lys. MEETTXC3 TO BE HELD QUARTERLY. Mr 0. W. Roberts, Llandudno, pointing out that, the attendances at the meeting were dwind- ling, moved that they should not meet so olt-en In future. He tailed to see why notices should be Bent to absent members. The bitIL- of the work ,was done by the Advisory Committee, whose l'e, port was generally conlinned by that committee. Mr A. II. Richards moved that the meetings be held every alternate month. As to the suggest- ing of dropping certain members who did not at- tend, 110 feared the committee had no power to do that. Mr (), W. Roberts proposed that the meetings I ■' be held quarterly, and this was agreed to. DOCBTFUL POTXT EXPLATNMi). I The [Secretary '(Mr M. II. Williams) reported that in acordauce with the wishes of the commit- tee ho had written to the Local Government Board:—"In considering claim. on the- fittid, committee arc not sure of their powers in cases as set out in the paragraph following, and I am re- quested to ask you to be good enough to let them f have your committee's instructions in regard thereto. 'Workmen who have been thrown out. of employment owing to the war have gone to work in other districts, or to other occupations, and have thereby lost their health. Is the L.R.C. en- titled to assist these cases out of the Prince of Wales' Fund, bv supplementing the sickness bene- fit which they receive under the National In.-mr- anco Act, in view of the fact that their sickness is probably a result of tho industrial dislocation paused by the war, and that their resources had al- ready been diminished by the same cause?' The following reply was receiv(-d: I am directed by iho Government Committee on the Prevention and Relief of Distress to say that they think that the circumstances of each case should bo Considered on its merits, but generally speaking vJiey would not be disposed to regard tho unem- ployment. through i!h;ess. of a man who had Jhargcd 11;? trade, as distress due to the ?ar erelr becau.?e the change of trade had been .,Aa(ie indirectly in consequence of the war." The Chairman stated that the correspondence rose out of tho case of a resident in the 1,!A,-i- fiyfni district, who contracted rheumatism while Working in South Wales, and on his return homo he was (riven a grant by (he committee. RELIEF GRANTS TO WOMEN. I In making a further grant, the Government Committee reminded the committee that assist- ance from the National Relief Fund must be strictly limited to cases of distress arising in con- sequence of t.ho war. and they wished to know whether the committee had satisfied themselves on this point in regard to 13 women who are in request of assistance in Carnarvonshire. At the same time, the Government Committee trusted that every effort would be made to find employ- ment in these cases The committee considered the cases referred to. In reference to one it was stated that the son, now working in South Wales, sent only 4s a week to his mother, a widow. Mr Alfred Richards pointed out that if such a case came before the Board of Guardians, the son would be compelled to contribute more than 4s Weekly. Air D. Thomas said the point was whether the son was compelled to support his mother. Mr Alfred Richards: The law of the land is that a son is liable to support, his mother. The Chairman: Yes, if she is dependent upon At parochial fund. It was decided to obtain information, and to ask tho Advisory Committee to act in the case.

PORTMADOC TTOKSE, DOG AND POULTRY SHOW. The annual meeting of subscribers to the funds of tbis show was held on Friday evening, Mr J. R. Owen, J.P., the chairman, presiding The first question under consideration was whether or not it would be advisable to hold the show this year. Air J. Owain Hughes, J.P., said he was afraid that unless a guarantee fund was obtained it would not be safe to hold the show, as the possibility was that it would not be a financial success. Farmers were short of hands, many young men having left, the district to join the forces. It should also be borne in mind that timber, which was used to enclose the Park had gone up a hundred per cent., and a difficulty would be experienced in getting other suitable material as a substitute. Captain Lloyd said ha also, for similar reasons, dHlbted the prospect of holding the show. Messrs David Hughes, T. J. Wiitiama, Griffith Jones, Llew Daviea, and others were all in favour of continuing the show, contending that if it was dropped it could hardly be re-started ngain. It. was also urged that the townspeople generally auticipated tho holding of the show as usual. Moreover, as the Govern- ment advised the country to do all they could to produce more food, and to rear more animals, it would not be rigbt to disregard that advice, all the holding of the show would be au incentive to stock breeders, farmers, and poultry fanciers to go on with their work. After further discussion, it was unanimously resolved to hold the show. The Executive Committee and Schedul es and Rules Revision Sub-Committees were formed, and the following officers were appointed :-Cha.ir- man, Mr Richard G. Humphreys (it. o Fadog); treasurer, Mr V.'m. Jones, manager, Metropoli- tan Bank; secretary, Mr D. R. Evans. A small committee was also formed to consider the site of the show.

This was in. addition to the 452 2s voted h.t January by the Exeeur tive Committee. Mrs Jcsws,' Mrit Page and Miss Manning themsehes paid tho ex- penses.

At the end of 1914 the branc h seut two pa reels of war garments for the inspectors at the front; and in January, 1015, the Exe- cutive Committee made a grant of £ 2 2s for this purpose from th.o branch funds. Last- autum-u when the appeal came again, it w::« not found pce&iblo to get garments made as all tho ladies are now doing Red Cross or other work connected with the war.

There had been no new Bands of Mercy sinoe tho last report. The accounts received from the various .schools were very satisfac- tory. The children took great interest in their leaso.ns on natural history and especi- ally jtbst how ill the accounts of all that is being done for hor,->e.s lu-ied in warfare. At Peunmenmawr dogs were allowed to be. brought into the school, occasionally to serve for an object-lesson, and everywhere they heard that boy" did not now wilfully desti-ov birds' nests. Instead of that they did their best to protect them. Tho sum of Xl 10s was granted from the branch funds and was spent in literature for tho children. Th.ero had been very few changes in the auxiliary hon. secretaries during the year. Tho vacancy at Portmadoc. had been filled by Mitss Beatrice Brerse, a niece of the Miss Breese, a former hon. twretary. The retir- ing hon. secretary wait Mies Morgan Jones, ] who undertook the work for one yrar oniy. They much regretted that tho Ikes, of Carnarvon, had resigned. This was a great loss to the branch. Carnarvon had a large nuimbec of eul*-c.rib:rs. The Comot of Menai was the lirxngc it and Carnarvon CalTig next for and tho work had always been done splendidly. Mi.sa Dorothy Roberts had stepped into the breach and had done tlie work for this year. Misn Mary .Ioucls, Ilortfi;n-orwic, was afraid the would havo to resign owing to absence from iiome, but she foneid that after all .she was able to do the work, for which they were very grateful. The branch had suffered a ?i'eat Lo?s by the death of Mrs Davis-Hughes, of Menai Bridge K came unexpectedly and had been a greafc blow She had worked for such a nutnoer of years for the and had been so faithful and prompt in all the bu.sine.fi part I of tho work that they con- sidered her les." irreparable.
