I TRIBUTE TO" ITHE MERCANTILE…
I TRIBUTE TO I THE MERCANTILE MARINE. I The loss of &o many vessels affords another example of tho perils incurred so impel-tu-rablv by the officers and men of the Mercantile Marine, who have kept the seia d-uriang the whole oourse of the war, bemg in most oases entirely defenceless asrainst hootilo attack. In their gene- ral aspect the" courage and constancy of the Menohaas Service are known to the nation, but wlien tho details of individual skiii and gallantry c-omi to bo published even a country which ex- pects (says the Morning Post) everything of the British seaman will lie astonished. Everything has been expactod of him, upon him dopends the trado and.the welfare of the oouutry. and, apart from tho provision of an expensive Navy to proteos him, ho has been litt/le eiiiough con- sidered. His lot is hard hill pay is meagre, his ,q rll;% "I..r prospects nothing in particiilar. WTion war cvttme a large part of the Merchant Service en- listed for military duties and manry a vcsscil officered and manned by the Merchant Service iiim doing war w-oelc, although elhe wias neither designed nor furnished for Avar purposes. The rest of tho Merchant Service went upon its law- ful oooasiens. as in time of peaoei, exposed to <he dangers of mine, submarine, and cruiser. The necessitv of arming- these vessels for defemoe speedily became apparent; but owing to various causes, the process Wae slow. Tho armament' partly owing to the action of the United States, was restricted to .a single gtui mounted ashern, which is the least advantageous part of th, ship for the purpose. Nevertheless, gunfire is an effective defence against the eiibinarino. A single gun wotrfd be ueeiless against sutdh a ship as the German raider in the South" Atlantic, and it is ckmlbtful whether it would be practic- able to mOlmt an armament powerful enough to match a cruiser. But it ia a!ear ll,:U addition to armm? all oceoa-g?n? met shirwi with an effective number of g-une, the whole oondition of the Meroantite Marino must be raised, The oarrying service is « national aervioe, and it dhoatld be reootnvsod aa such.

DEUDRAETH RURAL COUNCIL.I
DEUDRAETH RURAL COUNCIL. The monthly meeting of the Deudracth Rural Council was hdu on Tuesday, Mr R. W, Vaug-nan prodding. J ALSARNAU WATER SUPPLY. The Parochial Committee wrote agreeing to the scheme of leasing from the Cefntrefor JLsif family the water supply for the village. The Connci'i directed the Cierk to make uhe form-al transfer of tile water works to the Coun- cil INCREASED FOOD PRODUCTION CAM- PAIGN. A letter was received trom the Looaf Govern- ment Board asking tho Council to urge upon the people the advi-sabil.ty of rearing pig;, poul- try. etc., and if nocess-tary to waive ttie restricti ve bye laws. Mr G. Parry Jones proposed that the Council should distribute leaflets throughout the district on the linen indicated by the Board. He re- marked that there were many woae things in tha district clivi) p-gs. In Ireland they were kept in the cottages with the family. After all *ig mcch" was very nice (laughter). Mr J. Roberts said peop,e who were brought up in places where pigs were reared were -ite-ii much healthier than those who knew nothing of the rearing of pigs. The Mcuioai Officer (Dr. Lloyd Owen) oaid ie did not like the Council to urge people to kzep p',gB too close to the houses. That would be go- ing; directly against the traditions of the Public Health Authority. At the same time he did iiot wish to place oty-taclos in the way, but wished th3 Council to keep the standard that the pub'ic health bye-laws intended. The Surveyor (Mr Thomas Jones) said no doubt Dr. Lloyd Owen was afraid that the Council would depart too much from the administration of the Public Health Acts. Mr P. L. Jones said that for every pig now re.are,d 20 were brol 20 years ago. The Surveyor eaid that was not due to the oye- i-awv, but owing to the indreased cost of feeding stuff. It was reeoived to waive the restrictive bye- laws and distribute pamphiets callifig attention to the matter. Mr R. R. Jones thought that they should ?ive every facility to people to obtain piote of land for potato growing.
IGWYRFAI DISTRICT COUNCIL.
I GWYRFAI DISTRICT COUNCIL. A meeting of the Gwyrfai Rural Councu was held at Carnarvon, on Saturday, Mr 0. T. Hughes presiding. It was stated that, owing to the curtailed trilin services, a oommittee had been appointed to consider the houir of future meetings. The Medical Officer reported that 24 births and 52 deaths occurred during Deeemb,r. Ilreo cages of diphtheria were reported at GrocsJon, 1 Taiyssirn, and Penygroes, the last-named proving fatal. Owing to a succession of oases of diph- theria having occurred at the Penygroes Council Infant School, it had been closed for many weeks before the Christmas holidays, and thoroughly disinfected. It was stated that the bye-laws with regard to th<* keeping of pigs had been modified. It was decided to ask those who intend keeping pigs to apply to the Medical Officer for his consent. Mr William Owen moved t-hat the attention of the Government be called to the necessity of making arrangements to destroy game, and wdd pigeons, wliioh ruin the crops. He said that since he submitted the motion to the Clerk he understood the Government had decided to take steps in the wa.y indicated. He said that, at a meeting of local farmers, twelve months ago, oomplaint was mado of the deetructivenefs of wild pigeons, and it was suggested that, in the spring, the farmers should spend two days to exterminate these birds. He thought that game should not be reared during a period when far- mers were asked to cultivate every inch of ground. The only px>ple who obtained any ad- vantage from game on the land were the sports- man. and poachers. One sportsman told him that each pheasant ooat him from 15s to jBl, although the farmers fed them free of charge (laugh- ter). Mr HonffT Parry stated that a poor farmer, residing a few miles from Carnarvon, had lost sixteen sacks of potatoes, which had been entire- ly spoilt by pheasants. Now, that the Tribunals were practically compelling farmers to produce more food, the question of game was most im- I portant. Apparently, farmers were being asked to oultivate their land to provide sportsmen from London with game, which should be extermi- nated, so that farmers Should have fairplay to produce food for the nation. He objected to the roaring of game for another reason—it encou- ra.ged young men to become poaohera. Fortu- nately. there was no game in the neighbourhood of his farm, but it grieved him to hear the oom- plaints of other farmers. The Chairman said tha.t &t almost every sit- ting of the GwyrW Tribunal faxmem oon?pWa- ed of the a&pmwio of game. Mr G. W. Th.. a:WTt K te?ty dh. to rear game at present. The motion was oanriod.
