RAIN BETTER THAN DUST. MANY years ago a character sketch was published with an, illustration, entitled Dust Oh and the other day we had the pleasure of looking at the illustration after so many years. As the author of the sketch re- marks, there are few businesses which have soft spots in them- fancy bits, which give some measure of refreshment aud rest even while the work is actually going ou. There is always some level ground in life's toil; it is not all up-hill. No chicken is all drumstick; no ox is without a sirloin and there is scarcely any kind of labour but what has some parts pleasanter than others, which a man of a wise and thank- ful heart will value at a proper price. Jack Chouter's (the dust- man's) soft spot is about a mile of road which lies between his beat and the yard where he de- posits his dust. As his cart is full he need not cry Dust oh for all that distance so he takes to thinking, and now and again to talking with any sensible per- son he may happen to meet along the road. Mind you, it isn't every dustman that can think. Ah yes, that is the point of im- portance; we want members on ? .? mi win iiiiii mn i1.r:1t[ the Council, and dustmen who can and will think, and one of the most important things they can think about is dust. When a dustman is raising clouds of dust in doing his work he is not think- ing, or he would wait for the water-cart to pass that the dust may be laid. But what if the water-cart would not be ordered out ? Then all we can say is that those in authority do not think. We received a letter the other day from a resident drawing special attention to the impor- tance of the duty of the author- ities to keep the whole district well cleaned and free from dust by the use of the water-cart in j dry weather. This is of great importance from a sanitary point of view.

DYFFRYN. Wedding.—An interesting wedding took place at Llanenddwvn Church on Wednesday, June 24th, between Oswald VV. G., second son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Harris, Oakville, Oakville Road, Spark- hill, Birmingham, and Margaret Winnie, elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Davies, Isfryn Dyffryn, Merioneth. The The Rev. D. R. Lewis, the late Rector of Dyffryn travelled from Anglesey to officiate at the ceremony, The bride who was given away by her father looked charming in her dress of cream, silk, trimmed with satin and lace, and also wore a wreath of orange blossoms and myrtle, under a tulle veil, and carried a shower bouquet of white roses and lilies; she was attended by two brides- maids, Miss. Katie Davies, (sister) and Miss. Ivy Harris, sister of the bride- groom, who wore dresses of sky blue silk voile trimmed with cheve sashes and lace, and wore wreaths of forget- me-nots and myrtle, also carrying bouquets of cream roses, and wore gold daisy brooches the gifts of the bride- groom. The bridegroom was attended by Mr. G. E. Harris of Bromsgrove, brother, as best man. The bride's mother wore a dress of heliotrope, trimmed with silk, and lace to match, and wore a black hat trimmed with violets. The bridegroom's mother was dressed in biscuit colour, crepe do chene, trimmed with lace&siik to match, and wore a hat of ivory white trimmed with pink roses and cornflowers. After the ceremony the reception was held by kind permission of Mr, and Mrs. R. P. Williams at the Post Office, where many relatives and friends of both bride and bridegroom sat down to a joyous ( repast. The Rector proposed the health of bride and bridegroom, and said the bride would be much missed in the village because of her very good church work. The village was en fete and gaily decorated for the occasion. The happy couple who were showered with rice and confetti travelled by the :2.40 p.m. train to spend their honeymoon near Bala lake. After their departure the bride's parents took their guests for a motor tour round Beddgelert and Snowdon. The presents received were both nu- merous and costly.
