THE GUARDS AND WALES. I Lord Glanusk and the Hon W. Bailey at Cardiff. Col Lord Glanusk, C.B., D.S.O., pre- sided over a large gathering at the first annual dinner of the Cardiff branch of the Grenadier Guards Comrades Association on Saturday, and his son, Col. the Hon. Wilfred Bailey, D.S.O., was amongst those present. Colonel the Hon. W. Bailey, respond- ing to the toast of "The regiment," stated that he had had the honour of command- ing the 1st Battalion on active service, an honour he never thought of having when he joined. There had been a good deal of mud thrown at the regiment and at the Brigade of Guards lately, and it had done a lot of harm. He urged them to do their best to secure good recruits for the Grenadiers. The Grenadiers had, to a certain extent, lost South Wales as a recruiting area, but old Grenadiers. could do a great deal by advising lads of the right quality to join the Grenadiers. Lord Glanusk replying to the toast of "The President and vice-presidents," said nothing could be too good for those who had added laurels to the great name of the regiment. South Wales had been for many years the home of the Grenadiers, but this position had to a great extent been now taken by the We'sh Guards. However, if the old Grenadiers in South Wales did their duty they would get as many recruits from South Wales in future as they did in the past. It would be a good idea to form a Grena- dier Club, or at any rate a Guardsmen's Club, in Cardiff. It was the good sense of the ex-service'men that would pull the country through the difficult times that lay ahead. Colonel Richins stated that 200 officers and 4,500 men of the Grenadiers had fallen in the war.

LLANGAMMARCH WELLS. Farmers' Union.—A meeting of the Farmers' Union was held in the Alexandra Hall on Tuesday evening, the 2nd inst., when there was a good attendance.

BBESOii T31M CilSHCIl. Tuesday.-Present: The Mayor (Mr W. F. Parry deWinton), Aldermen T. Williams, E. A. Wright, David Powell and H. C. Rich, Councillors Miss Philip Morgan, J. W. Hedger, C. W. Best, E. M. Meredith, J. J. Williams, Evan Morgan, W. J. Bevan and W. Williams. HEALTH OF THE TOWN GOOD. The Medical Officer of Health (Dr Rees) reported that during November nine deaths were registered, equal to an. annual rate of 18'2 per thousand. The Mayor Rather bad. Dr. Rees, continuing, said it compared very favourably with the extraordinarily high death rate of November last year, during the influenza epidemic. Last month he reported an outbreak of scarlet fever he was glad now to say that the precautions taken had been so far success- ful tn'\t fhoro had been no recurrence since the end of October. He had re- ceived notification of four cases of I measles of an extraordinarily mild type, such a type as he did not remember. There had been no such rapid spread as one generally expected with measles. So far as he was aware, the town was quite free from any form of epidemic influenza. In the early part of the month there were one or two suspicious cases, but during the last week or two he had not seen or heard of any cases, and for the period of the year the town was in an exceptionally healthy state. Alderman Rich Is the birth rate satisfactory ? Dr. Rees I cannot tell you till the end of the year. PIG AND POULTRY KEEPING. I The Town Clerk (Mr G. Hyatt Wil- liams) read a Board of Agriculture cir- cular urging the necessity of extensive z, 11 z;1 pig and poultry keeping for several years I to come and expressing the hope that the Council would, wherever possible consistent with the public health, refrain from enforcing repressive bye-laws. The Surveyor (Mr H. Ll. Griffiths) said he had had a good many cases before him of people proposing to keep pigs and he had raised no objection. Alderman Wright A great deal has been done in that direction by those who have taken allotments, particularly in i Llanfaes. The Mayor The Llanfaes Pig Club is a very successful institution. WOMEN AND HOUSING SCHEMES. The Town Clerk read a long circular from the Ministry of Health recommend- ing that women should have an oppor- tunity of expressing their opinions on the proposed lay-outof housing sites and on the plans of the houses, and also I suggesting the formation of women's advisory committees. The Town Clerk added that the lay out plans had been sent in. The Mayor I think we have practic- ally carried out this circular. Alderman Wright: We have done a good deal in that direction. Councillor Best proposed that the circular be referred to Miss Philip Morgan and the two women members of the Housing Committee and that any suggestions they might make be con- sidered by the Council. Councillor Meredith seconded and it was carried. Alderman Powell further proposed that the plans of the houses should be open to inspection in that room for several days and that they invite any ratepayers and ladies to came and criticise them. Councillor Bevan seconded and this motion was also carried. THE LLANFAES lITE. It was reported that the owner of the Llanfaes site was advised that he had no I power to give an option for a part of the land not proposed to be built upon now that would be binding on his successors, and on the motion of Councillor Meredith, seconded by Councillor Bevan, the District Land Valuer was authorised to proceed with the negotiations for the purchase of the part to be used.

DEYYN iCK. Girl Guides' Fancy Fair.—On Satur- day, in the club room of the Bull Temperance Hotel, a fancy fair and tea was held in aid of the funds of the local company of Girl Guides. The fair was opened by Mrs Evans, Ffrwdgrech, Brecon (Chief Guides Commissioner for Breconshire), who was introduced in a graceful speech by Capt. Isobel Thomas. On entering the room Mrs Evans was saluted by the Guides, who were under the command of Lieut. Margaret Llewel- lyn Davies. Before declaring the fair open, she distributed over 30 badges for proficiency in natural history, ambulance, and laundry work. She congratulated the members on their great success and hoped they would make even greater progress in the future. A hearty vote of thanks, proposed by Dr. Jeffreys Powell, and seconded by Mr D. Powell, was accorded Mrs Evans for attending and for the great interest she has taken in the Girl Guides movement in the county. A brisk trade was done at the stalls, the bran tub and its contents coming in for special patronage from the youngsters. The following-were the stall holders :—Fancy Stall, Miss Havard and Miss Edge Lavender Stall, Miss Jean Thomas Sweet Stall, Miss Maggie Davies Provision Stall, Misses Mary Rees, Ennice Williams, and Bessie Walker Bran Tub, Misses Bessie Wil- liams, Winnie Edge, and Bessie G riffiths; Hoop-la, Miss Evans, Bailybedw At the tea tables, Mrs Powell, Athrawdy Miss Smith, Llwyncelin Mrs T.

Lr w* T* »* TS mrr TTV Lft t A t\. Wedding. A pretty and popular wedding was solemnised on Monday, the 1st inst. between Miss Beatrice Davies, daughter of Mr and Mrs W. Davies. and Mr Sidney Ewart Mason Owen, grandson of Mr Evan Masoir, of Lleust Newydd, and son of Mr Joshua Owen, -it, -(be Parish Church of Llanfihangel Brynpabuan. The Vicar (the Rev J. C. Owen) officiated and the bride was given away by Mr David Rees, Tynpant. She wore a blue costume with hat to match and white furs the gift of the bridegroom. She was attended by Mrs Herbert J. Davies and Mr Evan Owen attended his brother as best man. Miss B. Owen, Vicarage, was at the organ and played the Wedding March as the bridal party left the vestry. After the ceremony a reception was held at Lluest Newydd when a numerous company of friends was entertained. Subsequently the bride and bridegroom left for South Wales where the honeymoon is being spent among relatives. Mr Owen served his country in France where he was wounded. He has been for many years a faithful member of Llanfihangel Church where his grandfather is churchwarden, an office he has held for the last 39 years. Capture of a Polecat.-A farmer in this district, Mr David Powell, of Llanerchllwyd, caught a very fine polecat last week. In many parts of the British Isles polecats are rare, but several have been had here during the last few months, the largest by far being this last specimen, which was of a lighter colour than usual. Waifs & Strays.—The annual opening of the boxes held on behalf of the Waifs and Strays' Society took place on Sunday and a very gratifying amount was realized, to which a further sum will be added, as two boxholders failed to attend. The total result will be higher than last year when £5 8s. 6(1 was collected. The Vicar and Mrs Owen entertained the boxholders to tea between the services. In the evening, owing to the unfortunate absence of the deputation through his serious accident, the Vicar preached a sermon dealing with the interests of the Society. Praise is due to the parochial secretary, Mrs Lawrence, Maesygroes for the satisfactory state of things. The following amounts were realised :—Miss Alys Owen, Vicarage. 6s. 41d.

CRICKHOWELL. Rainfall. During the month of November 2'32 inches were registered on 15 days, the average being 3'55 inches. This was the ¡eighth month in succession when the rainfall was below the average, and the total for the eight months was less than the amount measured during the first three months of the year, wih was 15'71 inches. The total for the eleven months stands at 29'19. The following figures give the November measurements for the re- spective years 1910, 5'67 1911, 6*42; 1912, 2'59 1913, 4 63 1914, 5'13 1915, 3*09 1916, 5'43 1917, 2*07 1918, 4'03 1919, 2'32. Football.- Crickho well paid a visit to Gilwern on Saturday last, and are to be congratulated on the result of the match, which was a pointless draw. At the previous match, which was played when the ground was covered with three or four inches of snow, Gilwern won easily by 6 goals to nil. They are a good team, and, their supporters were doubtless disappointed on Saturday, but tlt match was an excellent one, and the result was very creditable to the visitors. Nursing Association.—This local or- ganisation is doing a great amount of good work. During the past six months 54 cases have been nursed, and 641 visits made. There were also 24 midwifery cases, entailing 13 local visits, and 10 country visits, and 36 babies have been health visited, and also eight schools. The child welfarecentre, which was opened at the Church Hall in September last, has also proved to be a particularly useful adjunct of the Association, in which Dr. P. E. Hill and Nurse Davies have been most energetic. This branch of the work is now carried on at Ivy Tower, which premises, it is hoped, will be opened shortly as a War Memorial Hospital. R.A.O.B.—The war called so many of the members of the Glanusk" Lodge away that it became impossible to hold the usual meetings for some four years or more, but the lodge has now again re- opened. The meeting held on Wednes- day last at the Britannia Inn was very largely attended, and served as a pleasant welcome home to the large number of brethren who have been serving their country. The officers elected for the ensuing month "were as follows :—Bros. 1. Gardner, W.P. C. H. Fox, C.M. George Parham, C.C. W. H. Rumsey, C.C.; F. Lansley, C.T. T. J. Allen, C.R.; S. G. Armstrong, C. Sec.; and A. Bath. C. Treas. and the lodge closed with a link of 21. 6 Unionist Club.—A billiards match was

BUILTH WELLS. Bank Manager's Retirement.—After nearly 40 years' of service as manager of the Builth Branch of the London and Provincial Bank, Mr David Thomas has retired and the management has been placed in the hands of Mr J. Williams. When Mr David Thomas came to Builth Wells, the branch was in its infancy, but under his genial control it drew customers from far and wide. Mr Thomas took an active part in the life of the town. A great lover of music, he was a strong supporter of local eisteddfodau and as long as his health permitted he sang in the choir of the Parish Church. He took great interest in the historical aims of the town, and when the erection of a national monu- ment to Llewelyn the last Welsh Prince was under discussion some thirty years ago, at a meeting at Shrewsbury, established the claims of Builth as the most sni table centre for such a monument. In his turn he acted as churchwarden and he filled numerous other other officers in connection with social life. Mr J. Williams, who succeeds him this week, has been manager of the Machynlleth branch. He is no stranger to Builth, having been cashier where he now becomes manager for six years from 1904. He left Builth to take charge at Brecon, where he also remained six years, and then went to Machynlleth. Alpha Sale of Work.—In aid of Alpha church building fund, a very successful sale of work and '"jumble" took place on Wednesday and the result was most gratifying, as upward of JE90 was taken at the sale and with a few donations about £ 120 will be available. The new church was built 16 years ago at a cost of £ 5,500 and the debt at its completipn was £ 3,500. This amount has now been practically cleared off. Mrs Black Jones, introduced by the pastor (Rev. L. James) declared the sale open. The stallholders were :-jumble., Mrs James Meredith, Mrs James, Mrs Llewelyn Weatherly, Mrs S. Speake, Mrs W. H. Bicknell, Miss N. Probert, Miss M. Meredith, Miss P. Probert, and Miss E. J. Weatherley millinery, Miss Griffiths, Mrs W. H.

Builth Guardians. Mr Thomas Davies (chairman) pre- sided over the monthly meeting of the Builth Board of Guardians held on Mon- day. The Relieving Officer reported that be had made an enquiry into the alleged assault on a girl boarded out at Llan- gammarch, and the boy who was said to have beaten the girl had been punished by the schoolmaster. Dr. Black Jones (medical officer) said he saw the child a few days after the occurrence and she had four bruises on her legs. It was decided to write to the boy's father a letter of warning. THE COST OF GRADING. The Clerk reported that he had re- ceived letters from most of the boards of guardians in Wales with reference to the Builth resolution of protest against the unnecessary increase in the price of meat caused by the grading system, and with the exception of one, they had all passed a similar resolution. (Applause). The resolutions had also been sent to the Minister of Food who had promised to give it his careful consideration. Mr Roger Williams pointed out that after the first figures were published the Ministry of Food reduced the payment for driving cattle to the station from 5s. per head to 2/6 and from 9d. per head for sheep to 4od., but what they wanted was complete abolition.
