I CARNARVONSHIRE JOINT SANITARY COMMITTEE. I MORE DEATHS THAN BIRTHS. DR. LLOYD OWEN AND IN FAN I .WELFARE WORK. CHAIRMAN'S STRONG CRITICISM. IFrom Our Own Reporter). The annual meeting of tins Committee was held yesterday at Carnarvon, Dr. Pany (Carnarvon] presiding over a. full attend- ance. The Clerk (Mr Hugh Pritdiard, PY-M heli) was welcomed upon his return afkr a JQJI ÜllC. A:IAL REPORT CRITICISED. The medical officers of heaicii (Dr. G. Lewji Travis and Ur. JS. Lloyd Owen) their annual report dealt with tlie vita., statistics and gave a table setting out ft.. birth and -jeatti rates m tiho Committee's district lor the year lyib. Incidentally, tJ!(J tHb!c, in co;um."Js :dc by sIde, gave the population of "the Committee's area, according to the census ot lyil and lor lJ.d, the latter being an estimate based on tiie Kegistrar-Ceutral s hgures. Under tno heading "Estimated popula- tion lor lyitf" were fwo columns giving two diticrent estimates of tiie population in each section ot the area, one lor biriiii rate purposes and the other lor death rate purposes. 'liie nietuicai otneers ex- plained that the death rates (genoral and i-iad been calculated Oil an esti- mated (civilian) population, turmshed by the Kcgistrar-Ueueraj, this excluding ser- vice men. The birth rate, however, had been ealculate-d on. an estimated popuia- tion baaed on the Kegistrar-Uenerai is figures, which included service men en- listed from the district, whether serving at home or abroad. Taking these separately, and' taking the birth ra'o hgures as representing the otri- eial estimates of the population, in the severai districts, it Is stated that the popu- lation of Bangor has decreased from 11,236 ill 1911 to 1(J,f09 m lyltf, a reduction ot 597; that of Carnarvon irom Ull'J to 6611, a i diifferencc of 478; while that of Llandudno had increased from 10,469 in 1911 to 10,990 in 1918, an increase of 521. Taking All the urbap. districts together, the total popu- j latioi: in 1911 of 52.167 had fallen to 49,566 in 191b, a reduction oi Zib4. The death rate in each of the nine urban and in all hut two of the eleven rural districts exceeded the birth rate. At Ban- gor the death rate was 20.3, while the bilth. rat.) is only 15.03; in Llandudno, 17.2, a.s against 12.4; in Carnarvon, 26.y, as compared with 16.4. Taking the nine urban districts together, whiio the total birtii rate is only 13., the death rate as 20.5. In the eleven rural districts, whiie the total birth rate is 16.3, the death rate is 21.7. Taking tile whole of tho Com- nnttce's area together, the birth rate is j 30.4, while the death rate is 21.6. The influenza epidemic resulted in 3ld deaths in the combined districts. In tiie urban districts there were 89 deaths from tuberculosis, Carnarvon having the highest total with 18. Tho lowest rate was at Llanfairfcchan. In the rural distrfcts 19<3 deaths were ascribed to tuberculosis, the highest rate being at Gwyrfai (3.6). it was in the Conway rural area that most deaths occurred Í1 om mftucnza l51), ana Pwllheli enjoyed the greatest immunity from the disease. NO LIFE IN IT." Dr. Woodhouse (Llandudno) criticisect the report, which he characterised as nothing more than a collaboratIon. of a few statistics. The two medical officers might have given them some vauable in- formation as to the treatment of influenza and the incidence ot cancer m tome dis- tricts. Surely the medical officers should use their brains and present an informa- tive report, with their conclusions. Tho Committee should be told how they could combat such diseases as tuberculosis. '1 no report told them nothing; there was no life in it. Mr J. T. Jones (Criccielh) said he hacf never seen such a meagre report, tlhough he had been a member of the Committee since its inception. In reply to a member the CTitairnian pointed out that Dr. Parry Edwards had nothing to do with t-he report. Mr T. J. Williams fiiangor), while agree- ing that tho report was not helpful, said it would not be wise to elaborate the criticism. No doubt the medical officers would in future see there was an improve- ment. Dt., Woodhouse proposed that the medicai officers be aeked to re-fnitc the report, m which they should offer advice to the Committee. Tho report waa a disgrace to the Committee. Dr. Rowland Jones (Bangor) moved that the report should be adopted. It should be remembered that the medical officers were asked to curtail their reports durmg tho war. As to the report the death rate was made to- look worse than it realiy was because tho- Registrar-General em- ployed different statistics for the birth and death rates. Mr T. J. Owen (Llanfairfeehan) second- ed the adoption ol the report. Rev. W. Morgan (St. Ann's) pointed out. in refcrenco to the complaint as to the meagro character of the report, that the Government urged them during the war to curtail their printing expenses. Dr. Woodhouso contended that the re- port could be curtailed without affecting its value. There was a lot of balderdash in it (laughter). Only three voted in favour of the motion to ask the medical officers to re-write the report, and it was tTien adopted. MEDICAL OFFICER AND INFANT WELFARE WORK. A letter was read from Dr. Lloyd Owen (medical officer for the southern part of the county) stating that the Chairman a; a special meeting of the Committee stated that "ut the event of the County Council requiring assistance with infant welfare work, no doubt tiho Committee would give Ílrfot consideration to Dr. Owen's claim," and he applied for permission to continue such cervices, liavjtng done the work ot the County Infant Committee for over three years. The prevention of infant mortality was tfsentially a public health cone erii, and he had found the work not a hindrance but a positive help to his ortii- nary sanitary work. The Chairman stated that at the last meeting the Committee increased the 6alary of the two medical officers to 2660 each per annum inclusive of the allowance which had been made towards expenses, aM on condition that each ofHcer "sha-n devote tho whole of his time to the duties, except that in the case of the medical officer for the northern division he be permitted to retain the existing extraneous appointments held by him." Therefore the correspondence of Dr. Lloy3 Owen was out of order. If the infant welfare authorities made an application to allow Dr. Lloyd Owen to attend the clinics, the Committee could consider it. Their medi- cal ogiown wero administrators, and the proper persons to attend clinics should be general practitioners who were in the habit of attending children. There was plenty of work for Dr. Lloyd Owen to loot after tho sanitation of the district. If he was not satisfied, then that W<j another ques- tion. He wished to protest against the conduct of Dr. Lloyd Owen. If he had any griev- ance he should have sent it to the Com- mittee. He tried to stir up every District Council against the Committee, and aJso the North and South Carnarvonshire Medi- cal Associations, saying the Committee had treated him with scant courtesy. Then he went to 1he British Medicai AMecm- tion, and they ignored him. There was another thing he intended having out with Dr. Lloyd Owen who, he eoiitC'iidod, had not acted fairly to the Commit-too from the tart. The Government were in great straits with respect to getting modi- cal officers to join the Army. Dr. Travis was a Territorial, and lID did join The Local Government Board asked them as the authority for the county if they would spare another man, and the Committee said they would, and of course suggested to Dr. Lloyd Owen that he should go. He was asked if he had any objection to go, and ho ciid he was quite willing TO dio for las country, and goodness knows what (laughter). Afterwards he went to tho different Councils and said, "You pass a resolution protesting against me being .sent to the battle because if 1 go there may be a plague in South Carnarvonshire and we might ail be dead." That was not the way in winch a Committee of that kind should b0 treated, and he (the Chair- man) protested against it in every way. it Dr. Owen stud his salary was not sufficient there wa.s a way out, for he could resign. On t.he other hand, if he made all appeal to the Committee and said his salary was not- sufficient they might, or they nrght not, consider it; but at tho last meeting he accepted file teims of the Committee. I RESOLUTIONS FROM LOCAL AUTHORITIES. The Clerk stated that resolutions, had been received from various local author tICS and one from the County Council. They pointed out that Dr. Uoyd Owen was ptaced under a disadvantage com- pared with his colleague, Dr. Travis, and asked that the restrictions upon him should be removed. The authorities who had sent that resolution included Criccieth, DCll- dracth, Portmadoc, Dwyran, and Gwyrfai. The Chairman. With respect to the re- solution passed by the Child Welfare Com- mittee of the County Council, the Chair- man tells me it was not the real feeling ot the meeting. Dr. Rowland Jones regretted that the matter had reached that ttage. He hoped Dr. Lloyd O-ven would cease to endeavour to go against the unanimous opinion of tho practitioners in general in tins coun- try..Stiii, the Committee might extend a little sympathy to I) Lloyd Owen in re- gard to Ins position and that of the medi- cal officer for t-he northern part of the county. Ho hoped something would be don.) to equalise tho position of the two of",ccrs. The Chairman: There always has been a difference. Dr. Woodhouse said that if the northern medical officer got £ 700 and the southern medical- officer j3600, which he accepted, was it right for the latter to come to tho Committee and cry because he did not, get more? He publicly protested against the medical officer for the southern divi- sion writing to him as chairman of the Llandudno Health Committee to support an incieaso in his salary. It was the second time he had ctojio Tt. If an official wroto to hit:, behind his Committee ask- ing him to support an increase of salary, he generally turned the letter down. Dr. Lloyd Owen said he failed to :.ee tho point of the statement that if an infant welfare centre applied for his services, the i%Ifare (.e I 'h matter would be considered. He under- stood the County .Infant Welfare Com- mittee had already ma.de such an appli- cation. The Clerk explained that the County Infant Welfare Committee passed a reso- lution that they learnt that the medical officer for tho southern district was placed under a disadvantage by the tenus of his appointment as compared with the medical officer for tho northern division, and for that reason ttiey expressed flic opinion that, if possible, such restrictions be re- inoved so that tho Committee could con- sider his appointment as clime medical officer. TWICE REJECTED FOR THE ARMY. Dr. Lloyd Owen stated in reference to tho Chairman's remarks that he was twice rejected for thj Army by un oiiicial medi- cal board at Wrexham. As to the state- niont that he was ignored by the BritisTi Medical Association, thab was not exactly tho fact; the matter was sub judict at the present moment. Un the other nandi, lie nad the support of ihe Society oi Aledieai Officers of Health. As to his work, if ho had neglected any part ot it lie wouiu Jiko to hear the complaints. His work as medical officer and uifajit clinic work- fitted in beautifully, ana ono helped tiio otlier. Jvlr T. J. Williams asKod whether it was true that Dr. Owen instigated public bodies to make these representations. Dr. Lloyd Owen replied that he Had asked public bodjios il lie had in any way ncgJeeted his re!-po1ISibIJ.ltíes tow a rd:fvilem. He did not instigate the resolution: Jt waa two days after tiio meeting of the Gwyrfai Council he lléardl they had passed a resolution on tike matter. Mr J. T. Jones. Why did you write personally to a chairman ot a committee? Why not alloW" people to use their own common sense and judgment'/ Dr. Lloyd Owen; i never w rote to you (laugiiter). Mr J. T. Jones: Yes, you have. The Chairman; Is there sufficient work for you a& sanitary ofneer for the district? Dr. Lloyd Owen: it 1 am able TO UO more work I am doing it for me sake ot my wife and child, i came from Cricci">Ui vi.oO a.m, I am not -luite 50, and there is no pen&ioji av>«m,nsg HIC. The Chairman: ou think it is hardier you, your wife aud child to live on ijbinj a year if, Dr. Lloyd Owen rt"iii you comparo me I with— The Chairman; I will not compare you at all. Dr. Lloyd Owen: As a medical man L650 I s too i-mall. You must compare mo with my fellow-practitioners. It was stated that. Dr. Travis was per- mitted to do extraneous work because his expenses were heavier than those of Dr. Lloyd Owen. A motion was proposed that if infant welfare centres appointed Dr. Owen to act ior them the Committee would oiler no objection. 'This was defeated, and a mo- tion to pass on to the next business was carried

THINNESS DUE TO INDIGESTION. I HOW TO OVERCOME BOTH. Dyspeptics and stomach sufferers arc almost alwaya weak, tihin, and impover- ished.

MRS LLOYD GEORGE AT I CARNARVON". I '"HOME OF REST i-OK?ALL? I I OPENED. GLOWING TO SAILOR?. f I (From Our Own Reporter). I On Wednesday afternoon Mrs Lloyd George formally opened a, Sailors' Home at Castle-street, and a large crowd at- tended to witness tho interesting cere- mony. The Home is well equÏppcd anCl provision 14 made tor seven beds, ana there is also a reading ::nd a billiard worn. Mr and Mrs Tudor .Williams are residing on tho premises. jMv Oweii Jones, J.P. (mayor-elect),pre- sided aver the proceedings. The Rev. R Eurog Jones, Aberystwyth, gave out tho hymn "Newyddiou braf a. ddaeth j'n bro," and this was followed by a prayer ollcred in English by the llev. J. Sanderson. Mrs Lloyd George was then handed the key, and declared the institute opeu. Mr Owen Jones, J.P., who presided over the remainder of the proceedings insiae the Home, said that some sacrifices had to be made before institutions of this kind were proceeded with in any part of the country. He understood that the institu- tion had two objects. One of tnem was that it provided for the deteinlou ot young persons to be dealt with under the Borstal system, There was nothing sadder than that young offenders shou'd be looked up in prison tor a. mgnt awaiting a trial. Now that the institution wa.s opened, they couid be detained in it. and thereby tho future of their characters Avould be clean from the prison stigma. The other object of the iiistitittiott ai a Sai-tors' ii,t. He considered that there was no C''ass 111.010 dteserving and no class that had to rough it more than sailors. It might be .sa,xt that Carnarvon at present was not a port and that there were no sailors in the town. Things nay ajier shortly and we might see sailors parading the streets as in the day.; of yore. To-day, proceeded the sixakor, there was no sign ot a storm anywhere; the sun was shining brightly, and may it shine continu- ally on the institution and on ad present (checrs) but a storm might come. Only that morning ho was reading 01 a terrible storm in the Mediterranean which lasted for 12 days, and all the crew had lost all hope. At laiit they saw land: in the. dis- tance, and decided to make for it. When they got on shore they had only barbar- ians end vipers to welcome them..Well, they did not know when a similar storm might blow some ships on the rocks ot the coast near Carnarvon, and how giad tiley would be to welcome some other stranded Paul. Mrs Tudor Wihiams then sang the lot- lowing verses composed to the i'renr.er and Mrs Lloyd George, oa the tuuo Ar hyd y nosi Through our Premier Wales lli rising, Arthur Fawr of Wales; To L'.oyd Gtorgc the world is listening, Arthur t'awr of Wales; He's the herald ct true Britons, And the genius ot all nations. So superior his opinions, Arthur l'awr of Wales. Through his w ife Lloyd George is greater Megan of Wikt .Wales; And- to her the word is debtor, Megan of Wilt Wales; Through the war 110 nobler worker, No more kintt and ready helper, Worthy of ihe proudest Premier, Megan of .Wild Wales! Mr Burton, E.R.G.S., one of the organ- isers of tho society, said that he always had considered flio Welsh peopm as a l¡č-iPY lot*. They had music in their feet and in their language (laughter). Referring to the object of tihc institution, the speaker said tifat Jack" is always a hard cdlap and fond of humour. Institutions like the one they were opening that day was ft, means for the, people, ot showing their appreciation of him. work of the .N.iS.iS. was known every- where. The society looked after lOO.CtXj Homes" annually. He hop-d that tho townspeople Acuij. readily give a helping hand to support this institution whenever called u)H>n to do so. I MEGAN OF ,WALES. I Thel; R» v. John Owen, M.A., proposed a voto of thanks to Mrs Lloyd George, and said that he felt proud that they had a Home for tfelors at the town. Ho was horn on the set coast. His father had succeeded in building a ship. and he had three brothers at the bottom ot the sea. He was very glad that the Premier's wiio was present. tine was undoubtedly tno true "Megan of .Wahs." He wished the institution every success. This was seconded by Mr Benson Har- ries, and supjiortcd by the Rev. R. Furog Jones, who read the following engiyn- ioii." to Mr Lloyd George:— Nawdtd Nef j'n harwemydd 111, LlwJd Sior tawr, Boed gawr y byd-gewri; Arwrol fab Eryn-pet miloeud, A rhanwr gwleddoedd yr hen Argiwyddi Clan yrfa dros binael Arfon, i:r LlyW, \Vnai'l' Llwyd Sior, iXndragoti: Bywyd aur y byd-wron, Yw eres haul yr oes lIon. Mrs L'oyd George, who was loudly cheered, said tha.t it gave her great plea sure to bo present. Suoh a. Home" as they were opening vTiat day was needed everywhrc. The work ott the y was known throughout the country. Sailors as a class cnjoyedt very little of the com- forts of home. Sometimes they were away for ten or eleven months. During fhat time they had to spend part of their time on the shore iooking for berths, and sho was sony to say that some of them dunng that time were at the mercy of bad influences. They a'l knew what sailors had to suffer. They knew the sacrifice that they ha ddono aurmg the great war. Hundreds had lost their lives on The altar of duty. She thought that they wero rucky in getting Mr and Mrs Tudor "1i- liatms to look after the home, and sne was sure that the people of the town would support the institution. She knew the Carrrvon people to be hard workers for every cause they took m hand, and the "Home was no doubt coming to an "etifcddiaeth &gl; among them. The meeting terminated by the singing of "Hen wlad fy rihadau." Miss Dowetf was the accompaxust.

NORTH WALES PROPERTY MARKET. GWRYCH CASTLE ESTATE. I OUTLYING PORTIONS REALISE I There was a large r-ttendauee at the Hotel Metropole, Colwyn Bay, on Tues- day iittemooii, vvlieii Messrs IV. Dew aud Son and R. Arthur Jones offered for sale by public auction further outlying portions of the GWfrh Cattle Estate The pro- jK-rty included freehold farms, small hold- ings, accommodation lands, building si tee, and a free fully licensed hotel and landju Abergele. The corwitioiis of sale having been read by Mr R M. Thomrvs, solicitor for the vendor, the Countess of Pundonald, •f ir R. Arthur Jones, who conduct^ the sale, said that was rhe third recent occa- sion for portions of the Gwrych Castle Estate to come into the open market. The same remarks applied to this sale as to the previous gales in which property was disposed of in Abergele and Cohvyu Bay districts, these lands being near the main road z;nd adjacent to well-known markets and flourishing seaside resorts. Ho felt sure it was generally agreed that in past Batea of Gwrych Castle property, tenants had received the utmost fair play, aa the reserve prices lixed had always been reasonable. He personally was able to testify that every consideration had been shown by the Countess of Dundonald to tenants, and every effort had been made by his firm to help them to become possessors of the land on which they had settled. The Countess had given instruc- tions to withdraw from the sale Lota 1, 2, 3, 5 ajid 12, the reason being that the tenants were old people whom siho did not wish to disturb. Apart from those lots the sale would proceed as advertised. Mr Arthur Jones, proceeding, said that, as moat of those present were awaiv, land waa Itill showing a steady upward tendency, and thoeo who followed the pro- perty market olosely would have noticed that this was not. peculiar to North Wales, but was generally the case throughout Great Britain. Some of them had antici- pated that a boom in land would be fol- lowed by an early re-action; but there WflS not tbo slightest indScatjon of this, but, on the contrary, real estate seemed likely to remain permanently at a high level of value. Former Gwryoh Castle tenants who had purchased their holdings, with- out exception, were;" jolly pleased" thfcy had eecured them, and would not to-day be wilting to dispose of their holdings save at a much higher figure thaji they had paid. The position in Anglesey, Mr Arthur Jones said, was equally favour- able, and there, too, people who had paid what they at the time considered high prices for freehold property were to-day delighted with their bargains. With the close of the labour troubles, which some feared would cause a grave crisis in the life of the nation, but which crisis, fortu- nately. was safely p&st, the advent of peaceful times heralded an era of greater prosperity than ever for agriculture illl these parts. Amongst the bidders for the various lots it was noticed that the legal profession was well represc Uod. Messrs Joseph Lloyd (Rhyl), Aneurin Evans (Denbigh), David Thomas (Llanrwst), and Llewelyn Owens (Rhy1) eadi purchased lots on behalf of diento. Mr R. Arthur Jon< ■- conducted the sale in his usual breezy maauicr and kept the large company present in a good humour from start to finis! He loft but little or no time in putting up the lota and suc- ceeded in maintaining "brisk bidding throughout, disposing of the thirty odd lots in less than an hour and a half, real- ising a total of close upon £ 30,000. In several eases tenantc- purchased their own holdings, while in other instances thi auctioneer frequently announced that the teriant was not going to bid for his holding. Tho Hesketh Arms, Abergele, a free fully licensed hotel and premises, now in the occupation of Mr T. G. Lovelock at an annual iental of 250, was sold for £ 1350 to Mr George Perkins, auctioneer, Abergeie (acting for Messrs Wcrthington); while a disused cottage and field of 1 aero 1 rood lii poles, adjoining the hotel, was purchased by Mr .William Jones, Ty Coch, Pensain, Abergele, for £3/]5. A farm known as Ty Gwyn, adjoining the village of Rhydyfoel, iu the occupation of Mr Owen Jones at aji annuaj rental of 1)67, and comprising about 36 acres, was knocked do In. to Mr R B. Radcliife, of Tan-in, Cheshire, for £ 2775. Ty'ii y Cae- au, a farm of nearly 63 acres: situated between the town of Abergele and Bettws- yn-Rhos, in the occupation of Mr John Hugh Roberts at an apportioned animal rental of JS72, was purchased by Mr Randolph Jarger (Messrs Jaeger Bros, Ltd.), Old Broad-street, London, fcr RZW. A couplo of fields consisting of over nine acres of grazing land within half a miie of Abergele, now in the occu- pation of Mr Robert Jones at an annual rental of £ 27 3s, wero sold for 9975 to Mr Joseph Lloyd, solicitor, Rhyl, acting for Mr E. H. Harrop, of Abergesle. 'Mr Lloyd alr-o bought for Mr Harrop another field in the occupation of the same tenant lat an annual rental of £3 17s, for £ 190. Another couple cf fields of about six acres nccr Abergele, in the occupation of Mrs Catherine Jones at an annual rental of E12, were knocked down to Mr David Thomas, solicitor, Llanrwst, for £ 475, act- ing on behalf of Mr Owen, Melai, A small holding known as Hcndrc, com- prising a little over six acres situated on the Cefndy road, within a mile of the town of Rhyl, and in the occupation of Mrs Laurentse and Miss Mary Jones at m annual rental of jMO 10s, was purchased by Mrs Laurence, of HaHcyn, Rhyl, for £ H5"j. Mr Evan Enms, the tenant of Branar Caled, about six acres, at an annual rental of £ 23, purchased his holding (which he said had no approach) for £5(). Mr Evans also bought live fields near the village of Llanddulas, consisting of about six acres of accommodation land, of which he is the tenant at an annual rental of £24. 15s. for £ 700. He aiso secured another enclo- sure of about an acre of building or ac- commodation land near the Llanddulas railway station, of which he is the tenant at an annual rental of JS4, for E160. Mr H. R.
