IIMerioneth Education Committee.
II Merioneth Education Committee. I TEMPERANCE TEACHING PROPOSAL. A special meeting of the Education Com- mittee was held on Thursday of last week at Dolgelley, the Rev. Talfor Phidips presiding. There were also present Messrs. W. 0. Wil- liams, Robert Evans, E. D. Jones, W. Lloyd Owen, J. Maethlon James, R. T. Jones, 1V. Roberts, T. Martin Williams E. R. Roberts, J. Roberts, R. E-. Roberts, R. W. Vaughan, Edward Rowland, W. P. Evans, B. T. Jones, D. O. Ellis, Joseph Williams, Joseph Hum- phreys, R. Barnett, secretary; A. M. Howard Jones, county architect, etc. The Secretary reported on the Dcsiton re- specting the use of the playground of Bar- mouth Council School. Hitherto the ground was tho property of the Cambrian Railways Company and had been let to the Committee at 25s. per annum. The Company having an offer for the land from another customer, gave j notice to raise tho rent to £42. After some correspondence, etc., the Company agreed to reduce the rent to £ 20.—Mr. Martin Williams said if the land was lost the children would have no playground, the residue be ng a mera narrow slip.—After further discussion, it was decided to ask Dr. John Jones, Mr. H. Haydn Jones, M.P. and the Secretary to wait on Mr. Wil; iamson to negotiate better terms. I It was decided to allow Is. 6d. per week lodging money to several children from the outskirts attending Llanuwchl yn school.—Mr. R. E. Roberts explained that ch Idren lived some miles outside the school limit, but it was their nearest school. It was decided to close the Cwmnantcol school owing to small attendance.—The terms j at which the Tanygrisiau School had been let to the Ministry of Labour as a. centre for training d 3abled men we™e confirmed. RESIGNATION. The resignations of forty-five cleaners and teachers were accepted, and forty-two appoint- ments were made. The appointment of twenty-two student teachers at S40 per annum 3:"0 confirmed. Scho'arships were awarded for a short course in dairying and house management to the fol- lowing:—Misses- Annie D. Jones, Llanegryn; I Margaretta Williams. VanuwchIlyn; Katie Peters, Talybont. Bala: Ada Coekba;n, Dy- Ifryn; and Gwladvs Williams, near Bala. N.U.T.: SERIOUS SUGGESTION. Mr. R. T. Jones referring to the fact that there was a dearth of male candidates for the teaching profession, said he had been told on rood authority that it was the policy of the N.U.T. to discourage boys from entering the profession. The results were apparent in the report before them, for it was becoming women's work. TEMPERANCE TEACHING. The Rev. Glyn Dav es, on beha'f of the North Wales Temperance Federation, offered to send a deputation to the next meeting of the Committee with a view of enlisting their sympathy for temperance lectures and instruc- tions in the schools. R. T. Jones said although an abstainer, he oould not approve of the project. The children were already overweighed w th sub- jects in the S'hcols. While new courses were continually added he did not think it would be advantageous to add another subject at present. Mr. T. Martin Williams strongly supported the proposal. The Rev. D. O. Ehis said it was essential in the intfTosts of the country that every effort should be made to give a temperance bias to the children. The result pf that policy was very apparent in the social revolution in America which led the world In temperance. The Committee decided to invite the deputa- tion to attend the next meeting. The appointment of cierk to the County Health Office was left to the Sub-committee to decide. Extra remuneration of S10 was granted Miss Myfanwy Edwards, Ciitawyd, for the period during which she acted as head teacher. The salary of Miss Rache! Davies, school nurse, was advanced from £100 to E110 sub- ject to another increase of £10 at the end of the financial year. The Rev. R. Jones-Williams wrote urging that a course of Bible instruction shou d be given in the schools. The Secretary said it already formed part of the curriculum.—The County Architect said in many cases it was very thoroughly given daily. The salary of Mr. Evan Roberts, head- rftaster of Ganllwyd School, was fixed at £160, pending the coming into operation of the new scale of sa aries; and that of the Head Teacher of Brithdir school at £150. The Rev. D. O. Ellis called attention to the serious state of the L anelltyd school and Master's house. The former was a. mere dilapi- dated bungalow and called for prompt atten- tion.The Secretary said the need for a proper building was insistent. During the war the Committee had postponed operations; but- now the condtions were such as to compel them to move. It was impossible for the Headmaster to obtain a house. Also that question must be faced.—The County Archi- tect admitted that the builuing at present was most unsuitable- It really was unsafe, being in a dreadful state of disrepair.^—On the pro- position of Mr. R. T. Jones, seconded by Mr. Ben. T. Jones, it was dec-ded that Messrs. D. O. Ellis, J. Roberts (Barmouth), Dr. Jones, with the Secretary and Architect, should visit the spot and report promptly on the question. The Committee were a so empowered to jn- vestigate other complaints in adjacent schools. L. Lloyd John, solicitor, Corwen, was re-elected governor oT Bangor College.—Mr. Ben T. Jones inquired tf their representatives on these bodies did attend the meetings, and, if so, did they ever report?—It was stated that Mr. Llovd John's record of attendance was a good one. GRANTS FOR STUDENTS. Mr. Arthur O. Roberta, now at Aberystwyth College, applied for the renewal for the fourth year of the grant of S10 made to him. A similar request waa also made by Miss Dorothy Evans, Blaenau Festiniog, now at Bangor Col- lege.—Mr. R. T. Jones said in reference to the former, the was a thoroughly deserving case. He wished to take a. law course a.t. the College. Their grants, so far, had only covered the arts course; but this was a. young man whose career had been most creditable to him and deserved every support that the Committee could extend.—It was dccided to j renew both grants. The award of a scholarship to attend tho diploma course was made to Miss Annie D. Jones, the best student in the short course, and also a scholarship to attend a short course in agriculture to lorwerth Jones, Llandrilo, and Miss Margaretta Williams, Rhvdfydr, Llanuchilvn, were made. Tho report of the U.C.W., Aberystwyth, for the year on agricultural education in the county was adopted. Also a report by Mr C. H. Jones, F.R.H.S., horticultural instructor at the U.C.W., Aberystwyth on school gardens in Merionch was adoptf>d. RIVAL CLAIMANTS- Towvn County School Governors wrote making an otter for the disused school building at Aberllefenni for a gymnasium in connec- tion with the school.—Mr. David Jones sa d the locality had also made an offer in order to utilise it aa a social centre for tne vil age wncre young people could meet together. Messrs. Edward Rowland, John Roberts, David Jones, and th* County Architect were delegated to deal with tho matter. The County Architect presented his report which was discussed seriatim and instructicns give*.

Morgan Roberts. chairman; Griffith Roberts, John Hughes, Captain Ellis Jones, D. Fowden Jones; David Jones, assistant oerk; E. R. Owen, surveyor; and Griffith Jones, road surveyor. The Chairman referred to the sudden death of Mr. Thomas Roberts clerk of tne Counc I and expressed sympathy with Mr. Roberts, brofcher, and Mr. David Jones, clerk.—The Council, on the proposition of M: Griffith Roberts, seconded by Mr. John Hughes, agreed to record its appreciation of Mr. Roberts's service to the Council. and a vote of condolence with the family and Mr. David Jones. The Council considered the qucston of appointing a clerk in succession to Mr Roberts. It was explained that there was nothing in the Public Health Act preventing the Council mak ng the appointment that day; and, on the preposition of Mr. D. Fowden Jones, seconded by Captain E. Jones and supported by Mr. John Hughes it was unanimously agreed to appoint Mr. David Jones assistant clerk.—Mr. Jones suitably acknowledged the appointment. A cngihy discussion took place on the hous- ing scheme.—Captain Ellis Jones said the Gov- ernment was not definite as regards the finan- cial aspect of housing, and he was afraid the ratepayers had to pay more than the produce of a. penny rate towards the deficiency.—Mr. D. Fowden Jones said it was impossible to have an economic vent for the new houses as the Agr cultural Wages Board has fixed the rent for agricultural labourers at 3s. per week. —Mr. John Hughes said they had to build houses for the people whoever will pay.—Mr. Griffith Roberts said there would be revolution in the country unless proper houses were buiit. People could not live like gipsies on the road- side.—Captain Jones proposed the Council should ask the Mnistrv of Health to state definitely what the Council's financial ob'iga- tions were with regard to the deficiency in new houses.—Mr. Jones, assistant housing commis- sioner, attended the Council with regard tc the housing scheme, and it was arranged for Mr. Jones to vsit the building sites the fol- lowing dhj-.—Captiain Jones proposed that women should ^e co-opted members of the Housing Committee.—Mr. J. Hughes seconded, and it was agreed te. It was reported that the lowest tender for -epairing Rhyddrcs road was £2.851 by Messrs Davies Brothers. Barmouth.—Captain E Ii" Jones proposed as the Road Board has promised £1,300 only in grant towards the improve- ment. not to proceed with the work.—Mr. G. Roberts seconded, remarking that there was no need to waste such expense on the road as there 's another road near it.—Mr. D. Fowden Jones suggested that the County Council should be asked to undertake the repair of the road with the £1,300 grant by the Road Board. Mr. E. R. Owen, sanitary inspector and sur- veyor, said he had accepted an appointment in South Africa and therefor wished to resign the offices he held under the Council.— Several members expressed regret* at Mr. Owen's resignation.—Mr. Owen said he would write 11's formal resignation for the next meeting.

Lloyd, and Isaac Jones, relieving officers. In going through the relief lists a. case was considered in which a woman with five child- ren in receipt of a total of 25s per week applied for a pair of boots. Some members ware against granting the request, th'nking the in- come of the applicant sufficient.-M.r E. Jones Edwards said the sum given was shameful.— Mr. David Jones said the ratepayers had to be considered, a3 there were two sides to the question. Applicants should try to earn them- selves so that the Board should not support them w"y.-Mr- E; Jones Edwards said the applicant was in employment, and it was the duty of tho Board to support those who tried to support themselyes.-It was decided to give the appi Cant a pair of boots. Mrs. Morgan said in regard to one case in which an application for increased relief was received, that, tlxe fathtc, scfei, and little daughter had been in sanatorium. The family lived in a little hovel which was not fit for human habitaton. Thev came home from sana- torium and went: back to live in the same hovel, and were now much worse.—An increase in relief was granted. The Finance Committee reported E.2,466 to be paid and only £ 84 in hand. There was a deficit of £2,332 £ 2.071 of which was due to the County Council, but the remainder, £310, was to be paid.

A leite- was read from Carnarvon Union asking the Board to support- a. reso ution that old age pensions should no'' be forfeited if a pensioner received union relief. It was stated that it was impossible for tho pensioners to live during the ,)mm<.r winter on their pen- sions, and therefore the resolution was sup- ported. A letter was read from Corwcn Union stat- ing that they were prepared to accept charge of ten of the Dolgelley inmates at a charge of 10s. per week, the calculation of cost based on the charges of March last.—The matte- was referred to the Medical Officer of | HenH.h- The House Committee reported the npooinfc- rnout, on a month's trial, of Miss A.

Pwllheli Fishermen Fined.
Pwllheli Fishermen Fined. CAUGHT BY A PATROL STEAMER. A case of considerable interest to fishermen was heard at a. spocial court at Pwl-heli on Fridayf before J. G. Jones (chairman), C. H. Lloyd Edwards, Dr. S. W. Griffith, and J. Hughes Parry, Esqrs. Mr. Robert Jones, Carnarvon, for Lancashire and Western Sea. Fisheiy Board, charged Richard Wright, master of the" Winnis Freda;" Thomas Williams, Penrhydleiniog, master of the Nora; Eva.n Harries Sand- street) master of the "Ellen Nora;" Edward Davies, Penmount-terraee, master ef "Polly;" and William Wright, Aberystwyth, master *f the "Thora," with having used a trawi Mb not of the proper mesh for catch»ng sea fcsh.— Defendants are well-known fishermen in Pwl1. heli and the Court was crowded with fisher- men, the hearing occupying about four hours. The case against Evan Harries waa first taken. —Mr. S. R. Dew, Bangor, appeared for the Fishery Board, and Mr. W. Gradoc Davies, Pwl heli appeared for the fishermen.—Mr Dew said the object of the Board waa to protect the fishery and prevon4 immature fish from being caught. The Board's patrol steamer "James Fletcher" was pater oiling Cardigan Bay an October 28th, and about ten a.m. found eight fishing boats about two and three-quar- ter miles within the limit. The depth of the water was about thirteen faUhems.. Dr. Travers Jenkins, superintendent of the Board, was on board. The officers of the patrol boarded five of the fishing vessels and found that they were using nette with about four-inch mesh. According to the Board's byelaws they wars not allowed to use nets under six-inch I mesh.—Dr. Travers Jenkins, superintendent of the Board for fifteen years, said he was oa board the patrol steamer "James Fietcber" 08 October 28th. About a quarter to ten in the morning they saw eight fishing vessels fishing within the limits. Among the vessels was the "El en Nora,' which was bearded by the mate, Wilson, who took samples of the fish caught, which was very small, as well as a portion of the not.—In answer to Mr. Davies witness admitted that there was nothing to indicate the lim ts in the Bay such as buoys, etc. The men could easily find their bearings by meatts of landmarks.—Mr. Davies: Can you point out any landmark ?—Dr. Jenkins: O. yes. Harleck Casfc'e is on one side, Gimblet Rocks at Pwll- he i, and Black Point to Llanbcdrog. He admitted that it wae rather difficult to follow the three-miles limit" 'n Cardigan Bay.—Mr. Davies: Why has the Board amended its bye- laws to mako the net six inches instead of seven?—Dr. Jenkins: Because a plea was sent in by the fishermen that marketable soles were escaping from a seven-inch mesh.—Mr. Davies: Can a marketable sole escape from a six-inch meshP^—Dr. Jenkins: Hardly; but it depends on the meaning of marketable soles.— In answer to further questions, witness admitted that Pwllheli fishermen were hard- working men, a ways civil and courteous, and he ha.d never had any trouble with them. He knew of circulars issued by the Board of Agri- culture urging fishermen to fish anyhow and anywhere as long as they caught fish in order to increase the food supply. He did not know that a net called "war net" was in general use throughout. the districts.—Mr. Davica: There was trouble wi!& some fishermen at Aberdaron n connection with berried lobsters and the Board of Agriculture wrote to the fishermen to the effect if any prosecution was threatened that the Board's letter wag sufficient licence.—Dr. Jenkins: But the Fishery Board is the authority responsible for the fishery.— Mr. Davies: But you can't go behind the letter of the Board of Agriculture.—Dr. Jenkins: It was rather an unfortunate letter to be written. With regard to tho suggestion to fix buoys to indicate the limit, Dr Jenkins said that matter was not within the jurisdiction of the Fishery Board.—Charles Ernest Wi.son, mate on the patrol steamer, said he boarded the "Elln Nora" and told defendant Harries that he was fishing insido the limits and was nott allowed to use a small net. When he took a sample of the fish, which was prroduced in Court, Harries said For goodness sake don't take those or you will give the show away." Harriet never disputed his position. Witness also ex- amined the net and took part of it away. The part he took measured about five-meh, the six- inch gauge went through the tail end of the net with pressure. He took a part ef the tail end of the ne*.—Mr. Da.vies: Fisbermou never catch fish with that part?—Witness: It would not be a net without that part. (Laugh- ter).—Mr. Davies: If Harries desired he might have escaped from you?—Witness: He ccuid attempt, sir. (Laughter).—Mr. Dew: Two of them managed to get away, I thiok.—Witness: Oh, yes. (Laughter).—Captain E. R. Nichol. son, master of the patro.' steamer "James Fletcher" confirmed the evidence of Dr. Jenkins and said that "Ellen Nora" "lis two and three quarter m Je inside the limit.—Mr. Davlca: Did Harries try to get away?—Ca.pt. Nickolson: He could not, sir.—Mr. Davies Did he try ?—Captain Nickolson: All of them tried their best.—Mr. Davies: The "dames Fletcher" was sheltering in the. Hoads the previous night? —Witness: Yes.—Mr. Davies: And defendants knew that she was there?—W tness: I don't believe they knew.—Several of the fishermen in tho Court room shouted H Oh, yes, we saw you right enough," and an uproar followed. Clerk said the Court would be cleared miioss those present kept quiet-—In answer to further questions by Mr. Davies, Witness said he could not point out the limit without look- ing at the chart, but anyone familiar with the Bay could do so.—Defendant Evan Harris, master cf the Ellen Nora," was called and said he never used pockets nets there was so much seaweed in the bay. With a bit of pressure be managed to get the six-inch gauge through the tail end of his net. He knew quite well that the patrol steamer was in the bay. He never attempted to run away as ho thought he had the right to fish a« he did. As a result of a circular received from the Board of Agriculture he understood that he could use a. tighter net in order to catch more fish. That was the impression on all the fishermen and he never saw the advertise- ment in the local papers withdrawing the per- mits given by tho Fishery Board to use tighter nets. The first warning he got was the presence of the patrol steamer in the bay. Wilson never mantioned to him about hii bearings. He did not remember telling Wilson not. to give the show away, but he told him he had taken three more soles tha.t he would have taken the whole lot. (Laughter). Hï. net was a six-inch mesh when he purchased it two years ago and it was ra^hctr tight now; but he could not get a new on" for three or four months.—In ariswer to Mr. Dew, Witness admitted having reduced the mesh of his net after receiving the circular from the Board of Agriculture. He was using what is called war nets.—Mr Dew said the evidence 'n th. other cases was similar and called Mr. C. E. Wilson, who said the nets of the other de. fendants were as fo lows:—Thomas Williams, "Nora," four inch; Richard Wright, "Winnie Freda," 4 inch; Edward Davies, "Polly." four and a half inch: William Wr-ght, "Thora," Tour inch. He did not know whether pockets were used or not.—Mr W. Cradoc Davies old he did not intend to occupy the time of the Bench with the difficult questions of bearingi and limits. Tho, fishermen deserved consdera- tion on account of the splondid service they had rendered to their King a.nd country. Out of the fourteen employed on the five fish in* boats connected with this case eight served their country: three wero declared unfit for military service; and four were qualified for o'd age pens,on. In January. 1917, the fuber. men received a circular from the Board of Agriculture urging them to fish for victory and to alter their ways and methods it order to catch fish and so increase the food supply. All the fishermen them used what was ;1ed "war He appreciated that the function cf the Fishery Board w3 to preserve fish, but tht* Board of Agriculture was con- cerned with the feeding of the country in those anxious times and bad appealed to the Fishery Board to pive bylaws in order to increase food supoly. Pwllheli fishermen re- tponded well to that aopeal and in one year rose from the fifth to the second place out ef the sixteen minor ports under the jurisdiction of the Board, including Birkenhead, Horlake, Southport. Batigor, Abe.rystvrrth, and More- cambs. Mr. Davies proceeded to (Ye ti"\1 showing how Pwl.heli fishermen increased their catch. For the qu.irte" ending June, 1917, the total weight of fish was 300 cwt.. value. £ 1,100. The figures rOt. the corresponding quarter in 1918 were 1,206 cwt.. value. £I,.4e. a fourfold increase in a. quarter. Taking tl total for the whoie of the year 1917. 2,297 cwt. was caueht, value £6.892, compared with 3992, but value £14.,309 for the year 1915. In other circles men were honoured with decora- tions f war se-r<ees, but Pwiiheli fisheTm. themselves before the magistrates for risking lives working hard to assist their count in its hour of need. In ihe cir- cumstances "^fend^nts were justified in doinf whav they did They never saw the Board's the paner? withdrawing thp, permits vn to us* smaller nets.—After a brief re- tirement, th" Chairman announced that the Bench had decided to deal Vnientlv with the fishermen as it was the first case since the war finished bv imposing a nominal fine of 51 each only.—Mr. Dew: Will you allow the advocate's fee, sir?—The Chairman: No.

The landlord he said. provided proper accommodation to the tenant who, instead of using it for his own family, kept visitors in it and stinted his family. — It was decided to write to the tenant asking him to use the rooms provided for his own famity. A report wag received from Mr. A. L. I Thomas, the housing commissioner, on the sites which had been inspected with a view to approval. The following sites were provision- ally approved :—Batfrmoutih Jimcrtibn, Tyddyn Bach, Llanselynin; Pont Vnn.

Lewis Price seconded that the scheme should be pro- ceeded with, and the report was adopted. Tt was further decided to send a report by the Council's Inspector on Bontddu site stating that there was no other site beside that which had not been approved in the villape. A letter was read from the Nation211 Town Planning A"soda1;on asking -lie Council to appoint: a representative to attend a confer- ence on December 16th, in Newport, was left on the table. The Chairman asked iff poster^ had hem distributed stating that the Profiteering Com- mittee had const tuted?—Thp Clerk said he had distributed notices to all chapels, churchee, shops. mills, and railway stations, in English and Welsh. —The Chairman said he had not seen any posters in Arthog for some time. Only one he had seen; but that had been removed from the Congregational Chapel. —The Clerk said the Assistant Overseer had been served with the posters. Mr. W. V. Roberts, Dytrp. and Ifr. Roberts, Bontddu were appointed as additional membe-s of the Profiteering Committ<ee. The Medical Officer of (Dr. Hugh Jones) reported having investigated a ease of scarlefc fever n Aberlefpnni and found two suspicions cases of children whose skins were peeling. The miik consumed in tho house was I snpplied by the tenant's own cows. Some of the walla were very damp and the tTDuehings defective.

He visited some sites upon which it was intended to build houses under the work. men's housing scheme and found the water supply excellent.—The report was adopted. It was decided to send a notice to the owner of the house in Aberllefcnni to remedy the defects, and the report on the water at Arthog was referred to the Housing Com- mittee. The Inspector of Nuisances reported furthe- on the house visited in Aberllefeni and added several other defects to those reported by Dr. Hugh Jones. He also reported on several other houses which wire defective, on the roof of one of which a large quantity of moss grew. If the mo-s wee Taken away part of th", rtxrt would also fall. The report was adopted, and it was decided to inform the owners of every house reported on to remedy the defects. The Rev. D. T. Davies waa appointed to represent the Council on the Governing Body of the Bangor University. A letter was read from the County Counel asking the Council to provide common lodging houses for tramps instead of keeping open the casual wards in workhouses.—The Chairman said the Council shou'd fight against allowing tramps into the district. The common lodg- ing houses were only an encouragement for tramps to come into the district. Local bodies j should do their best to stop tne country going back to the old style.—Nothing was done. It was reported that the order to enforce the public to notify the Medical Officer of Health of cases of measles would be rescinded at the end of December.—'The report was adopted.

In an important announcement te th* Army Committee of the House of Commons, Mr Churchill made it clear that the War Office was not opposed to the continuance mi the Territorial Force. The scheme which is now receiving fa-vourable consideration is that the Territorial Force shouid take the place of Special Reserve, with a reduction of the Yeomanry units, and an increase in artillery. Mr ChurahiU impressed on the Army Com- mittee the importance of makiag the obli. fation to undertake foreign service in an emergency one of the conditions of service. There was a considerable difference of opis- ion on this vital point, and some members suggested that the mobilisation of the Terri- torial Force for foreign service should at least be contingent oa a proclamation by Parlia- ment of a state of emergency. Mr Churchill was unable to sAy definitely what would be the annual period of training. He reminded the Committee that the establishment of the Force depended on the scale of our Imperia responsibilities, which bad still te be de-fmed. When Your Head Aches TAKE A DOSE OF £ ASINE.
