IScene at Pembroke Borough…
Scene at Pembroke Borough Council. A MEMBER'S WRATH. The public missed an entertaining scene at a special meeting of the above Council last Wednesday evening. A new councillor trod on the corns of one of the older mem- bers, and apparently opened the floodgates of his wrath. Accompanied by vigorous thumping of the table, and amid cries of "Order," the follow- ing became audible "Who is he1 What is he? Washed up by the tide on the mud at Portsmouth. I've seen Trade Unionists, fathers and mothers, being excused payment of rates at this table. He has been grinning at me all night." Thus the meeting ended, and the Dockyard question is so much nearer a solution.

LONDON NOTES. jj BY HAROLD WOOD. 1 I BERNARD SHAW AD THE CAPITAL I LEVY. I Mr. George Bernard Shaw has been making an ingenious but fallacious attack on the pro- posal for a copi-tal .levy. I do not want to argue on the capital levy. Whether we like it or hot, and whether a capital levy is right or wrong, there can be little doubt that it will come. Bu.t i.f we escape the ilevj it will not the for tli4 reason advanced by Mr. v George Bernard1 Shaw. Wbafc Mr. Shaw say* is practically that yon cannot make a I-evy oO capital because there is no such thing e0 capital. There is nothing to draw upon, he 9 says, except current income. fl j 7' tJss is not interesting no one is obliged T to read it. But what does Mr. Shaw m.e1m' | He always means something. My own com- ¡ ment on this utterance is that there is a sense in which it is perfectly true, but that it has no bearing on the capital levy. It is true that there is no real reserve of wealth. Wealth is produced by wotk, and the whole ¡ community lives on the current stream of the products of work. Rich people do not live out of a great fund of possessions. > What a rich man like Mr. Shaw possesses is not a large store of goods that are already pro- duced, but the power to command a large share of the goods that are berng produced from day to day. This is what capital really is. It is power to command a share of the products of other people's work. And if we hnve a capital levy it will mean that Mr. Shaw and many others will be required to transfer part of this mysterious power to the Statp. Of course, it is much simpler to call it capital and to svv that POme of it is (miner to be taken awav from us; but if Mr. Shaw prefers to rnt it in the longer and more iteademic way there is no reason why he should not do so. I LIBERALS AND THE COALITION. I I am afraid that Captain Guest is not very happy in these days. Captain Guest is that one of the numerous Government, Whips ° whose duty is to persuade Liberals to sunport the Government. He does not nppear to be petting on very well. The Spen Valley i Division of Yorkshire has iust lost a strong Coalitionist Member in Sir Thomas Whit- j taker, and the local Liberal Association has resolved to make this the occasion of a breach with the Government and to put forward an 'I independent Liberal candidate. here is another thing. Tl-e Cofftition Partv is organising a. g'flt carfpai.-m of im-eti- nnd it is arranged that Mr. Austen Chamber, ain shall ad-drescs a meet., a.t Now Leefl.;o four Liberal Coalition Members of Psviliament. It was expected, therefore, that Mr. Chamberlain's v;"it. would be ?vn occasion for Liberals and Trtrip-s to sit S smilinp ?!t ench other on the pan1" platform, dervo^'stra*:n.g the absence of 'cr>a,rtv strife." But 41MS V< not to be. When Captain Guest .] wrote to the Lirbexnl leaders in Lee-tlq asking them to take an official part in Mr. Chamber- j lain ":m I'd.i nog. these Northern stalwarts re- t plied thnt, they would not take any part in the mee^ir>,o', either official or unofficial. Pos- siiWv it mav beain to look ibo Captain Guest 8B though the time is past when you can pre- vent l iberalism from aesert-ing itself as an in- dependent force. N.L.F.

Belgian Trawlers Return.
Belgian Trawlers Return. PECULIAR POSITION. FISHMERCHANTS STRIKE. We were boplng tbat we had beard the last of strikes at Milford Haven for a long time to come, bat an unusual position arose at Milfbrd Haven Fish Market on Wednesday when the FishmerchaDts "Struck" and tabooed the sales. On Tuesday afternoon's tide The Belgian Trawler lea" and Gaby" (P.V.) arrived in dock and berthed for landing next morning. Rumours went round that they would not be allowed to land, or at least, if an attempt to do so was made the local fish- ermen would strike. It was also believed that some of the owners viewed the arrivals in a favourable light. When morning came there was no labour available. There were other parties interested in the matter from another standpoint—the mercbanas- and they refused to respond to the bell for the first sale and stood off the sales until the Belgians were allowed to land. The officials of the Merchants' Associations interviewed the other parties, and it was arranged that a conference of owners, fisher- men and merchants abould be held at the Lord Nel- son Hotel in the afternoon and that the two vessels which had nearly 700 kits between them should be allowed to land next morning (Thursday). The question was debated in all its bearings at the Conference. Daring the war the Belgians practically kept the market going and had it not been for their arrival it is possible the market would have been closed and from the merchant's point of view they are entitled to land at Milford Haven now. The more fish that it available tbe better for the trade of the rt in winter time. In thiscasethe point of r?O.ifew of the owners and fishermen are practically he same. The local boats were on Admiralty service as well as the men of all grades, who were thereby precluded from those big earnings which the Belgians reaped daring the time of abnormally high prices, and they consider that the market should be theirs and that the Belgians should remain at home, where there is plenty of outlet for their fish and even if the prices I are not so high there, they have had their turn. Of coarse under British trade law they cannot be prevented coming to Milford Haven or other British port. We understand that about 12 of the boats are coming to Milford and the conference decided that after they bad landed once they be asked not to return, whilst the National Sailors' and Firemen's Union are communicating with Mr. Havelock Wilson with the object of general action at all tbe ports. The whole subject raises a knotty point.

Comrades of the Great War.
Comrades of the Great War. HAVERFORDWEST BRANCH. (Specially Contributed.) I The Labour correspondent of a local paper recently charged ex-service men's organisa- tions with being so busy passing resolutions against the presence of Labour representa- tives of military age on various committees, that they have no attention to spare for pen- siong und .similar grievanl-eli. We can only take up the cases that come to our notice: we have no detective agency for finding out whether disabled men and the dependents of the fallen are receiving fair treatment, unless they will report their troubles. The Com- rades have never failed to do their best to secure redress in any bona fide case. The following summary of cases dealt with by the secretary of this branch alone since last Aug- ust will be the best evidence that this side of the work is not neglected:—Pension cases, 24; pay and allowances, 52; civil liabilities, 6; miscellaneous (King's Fund, etc.), 28. "Union is strength" is an axiom that ex- service men have unfortunately been slow in acting on. Three big organisations,-thet Federation, the National Association, and the Comrades—have been fighting in parallel lines towards the same objectives with con- tinual waste of strength and efficiency. Nego- tiations have been long on foot, and at last amalgamation is in sight. On all sides the desire for union and the loyalty to common tims have been stong enough to sweep aside the little differences that have held us apart. Much still remains to be done, but in Pem- brokeshire at any rate we hope before the end of the year to have one body only in place of the present three. Our especial admiration goes forth to the- leaders of the North Pembrokeshire Association who in the interests of unity and the movement have sacrificed an independence that must have meant much to them. Our welcome will be the heartiest. The policy of the Government regarding the unemployment donation will need careful watching. One of our foremost demands is for "work, not doles," but if the Government ta.kes away the second without providing the first, they may expect trouble. The much boomed Ministry of Reconstruction was sup- posed to have ready, at the time of the Armistice, full plans for the absorption of all demobilisable men into civil employment. That was a year ago, and the "land fit for heroes to live in" seems as far away as ever. This trouble would be greatly reduced if employers would show a little more sympathy by reinstating returned men in their old jobs, or if this is impossible, by making room for them in some other capacity. The majority of employers have done so, as we gratefully acknowledge. Many have put themselves to trouble and loss to make work for men they did not really want. The attitude of the minority shows up all the more discreditably by contrast. Those who have themselves been hard hit financially by the war we may forgive, but a Roll of Dishonour, of employers in this town, confined to those who Save in- dubitably made money out of the war, and those who have refused to take back em- ployees who have served, would make start- ling reading. Perhaps we shall publish it. After reading the report of the R.D,C. meeting at which a new surveyor was appoin- ted, we can only suggest that, in the case ot any future vacancies, that authority should add as a footnote to its advertisement, no ed- service men needapply." It would be more straightforward, and it would save stamps and paper. On Friday the Education Committee is ap- pointing an agricultural organiser. We have no wish unduly to circumscribe their choice. They can, with our impartial approval, ap- point an ex-soldier, ex-sailor, or ex-airman. Comrades who are blaming the Committee for dilatoriness regarding the club can be assured that those dealing with the matter share their disappointment to the full. A complete statement of the negotiations will shortly be made, and one body concerned will not show up creditably. For the moment we will merely-sav that a definite offer, made and accepted, is now sought to be withdrawn —after two or three months have been wasted The result of last Saturday's match aga-inst the Shamrocks at Pembroke Dock was disap- pointing, eleven goals being scored against our two. The secretaries had to run round at the last moment to find- players, and of the team that finally took the field five were reserves. This is not as it should be. The object of the Football Committee is to find theVerv best players, and for this reason they strongly appeal for better attendance at practice games, through which alone it is possible for new talent to be located. If sufficient players are available there is no earthly reason why we should not run two teams. Plenty of matches can be arranged. All that is needed is more keenness, and the committee hope to see signs of it: Next Saturday we are meeting Pembroke Dock XI. on the Bridge Meadow—particu- lars on posters. At the time of going to press the selection of the team has not been completed, but the list will be published in the "Guardian" and displayed at Mr F. D. Phillips's, Castle Square, and Mr Dixon's, Bridge Street. It is hoped to announce next week the opening date of the dancing classes.

FISHGUARD. Personal.—Master Glen Evans, son of Mr and Mrs J. Evans, of Xo 6, Penslade, Fish- guard, has left to serve his apprenticeship on a large liner. We wish him every success in his career.—Mr Thomas, Lloyds Bank, has left Fishguard for another branch. He will be missed by a host of friends. He is a pianist of no mean ability, and often presided at Hermon organ. Recovery.—We are very pleased to learn that little Zeta John, the daughter of Mr and Mrs Hellier John, Goodwick House, Fish- guard, is recovering from a very long and severe illness. For some time it was feared that the little one would be taken away from the fond parents, but loving attention and the best medical aid have proved successful* Ex-Service Men Entertained.—This (Wed- nesday) evening the local ex-service men will be entertained by the ladies committee formed in connection with the Y.M.C.A. Institute. The proceedings will consist of a whist drive, and refreshments will be served by the ladies of the committee. A full report will appear in our next issue. Interesting Lecture.—Last Tuesday even- ing at the Y.M.C.A. Institute, Fishguard, Prof. Currie Martin, M.A., delivered an in- structive and interesting lecture on "President Wilson and his Ideals." This is the fourth of the series aranged for the winter months at the Institute and they are growing in popu- larity. On Tuesday evening last a large number availed themselves of an instructive and pleasant evening. Tabernacle.—On Wednesday afternoon last the children of Tabernacle Sunday School were entertained to tea in the vestry. A large number of children did full justice to the good things provided for them. In the even- ing an excellent entertainment was given, which proved most interesting and enjoyable and the following contributed to the pro- gramme :—Recitations, Stuart Johns, Jennie Morris, Oliver Bevan; song, Hilda Roberts; recitations. Jenny Price, Mabel Sayer, Phyllis MRS HOWELL WALTERS, Who has already raised £ 2,000 towards the rebuilding of the County Hospital, and who is confident that 48,000 will be forthcoming by next August. Among the latest subscribers is Lord Merthyr, who has promised a donation of E200. s Morris; song, Hilda Martin; recitation, Enid Williams; dialogue, Edith Thomas and Ella Higgon; recitation, Megan Evans; recitation, Bessie Thomas; song, George Roberts; reci- tation, Mary Ann John; duett, Bella Thomas and Griff. J. Williams; recitation, Mrs. E. H. James; recitation, Bella Thomas; recitation, Annie May Morgan; song, Edith Thomas; recitation, G. J. Williams; duett, Messrs. W. J. Thomas and Glyn Jacob. A children's competition was also held, when the test was six questions in general knowledge. The winner was was Ma-ster John Idris Roberts. On Friday evening last Mr John Hughes, B.A., County School, delivered an address under the auspices of the Literary Society, taking as his subject "The Poets of To-day." The members present were/highly delighted with a series of gems from the various poets. Next Friday evening the Society will hold an impromptu evening, when all are invited to attend. Billiards.—On Friday evening next a billi- ard tournament will be held in the Y.M.C.A. Institute, Fishguard, when some exciting games are anticipated. Football.—On Saturday afternoon next the Fishguard team will indulge in some serious practice in preparation for their cup match with Goodwick United the following week. All players are asked to make every effort to turn out, as the committee are anxious to turn out the best possible team, a on the re- sult of the next cup match will depend, the fate of the Fishguard team in the competi- tion.
GOODWICK.
GOODWICK. Accident.—On Friday afternoon last Mr M. Ennis, Goodwick, had a nasty accident at Fishguard Harbour. It appears that Mr Ennis was in a boat which was being raised from the sea. to the jetty on the Northern Breakwater, when one of the wires fastened to the boat from the crane snapped. Mr Ennis managed to hold on to a portion of the broken wire as the boat toppled over, and thus cut his hands a good deal, and not being able to retain his hold he fell into the sea, coming into contact with the boat in his fall, hurting his hip and side. Medical aid was at once summoned, and he was attended to and taken home. We are glad to hear that Mr Ennis's injuries are not serious, and that he islikely to make a good recovery. It is fortunate that he fell into the sea, otherwise he would probably have been killed. His splendid constitution will be a great help in his pulling through, and we wish him a speedy recovery. Whist Drive and Dance.—On Wednesday evening last a successful whist drive and dance wa.s held in St. Peter's Hall, Good- wick, in connection with St. Peter's Men's Institute. The first part of the evening was devoted to the whist drive under the direction of Mr E. Coonway, and the various prizes were distributed as follows:—Ladies: 1st prize, Miss Katie Prance; booby prize, Miss E. Jeffries. Gent.'s: 1st prize, Mr Brother- ton (Wireless Station); booby priz% Mr Postern. The hall w-as then cleared for dancing, Mr Fred Miles making an efficient M.C., whilst several willing ladies shared the duties of pianists. During the interval re- freshments were served by lady friends. The proceeds are to be devoted to the purchasing of equipment for the institute. The whole arrangements were in the capable hands of Mr Fred Miles, who was assisted by members of the committee. A repeat is eagerly looked forward to. Band of Hope.—A very interesting iantern lecture was given" to the members of the St. Peter's Band of Hope on Friday eyenmg last by Mr E. W. Coplestone, who had for his subject "The last shilling." The Rev. E. O. Williams (curate) manipulated the lantern, and the pictures shown on the screen were really beautiful -,n,d greatly enjoyed by the children. Needless to say, Mr Coplestone delighted the audienoe by the masterly way in which he dealt with the subject. A cordial invitation is extended to all children, irre- spective of creed, to join the St. Peter's Band of Hope. <

-4- MR. DAVID REES, C.C. The Doyen of Fishguard's Public Men. Known as the People's Friend." Now that the "Telegraph" has made a place for itself in Fishguard and the district, and, that it has to all appeaarnces, come to stay here, it is but meet that the rest of the county should become acquainted, through its columns, with some of the men who have a foremost hand in the making and moulding of the destiny of the capital of North Pem- brokeshire. It is our object to give from time to time a brief character sketch of our leading public men. No one who knows Fishguard and the Welsh portion of the county will grudge Mr David Rees the pride of place in our local gallery. Mr Rees is to-day the doyen of public servants. Though scarcely 55 years of age, he has for more than a generation without a break served on our local councils, from the formation of the Parish Council until to-day when he, for the second time in its brief existence of twelve years, occupies the chair of the Urban Council. In addition, he is a member of the Haverfordwest Rural District Council, as well as of the Pembroke- shire County Council. It is interesting to note that he became a member of these bodies in spite of the fact that he was op- posed by the whole strength of a well orga- nised political party, backed up by the efforts of some ef the most astute and capable elec- tioneering agents in the county. He was returned as David Rees, without any label from Conservative, Liberal or Labour par- ties. In very truth he was a real Coalitionist. Once Mr Rees is on a council or any public body all his acquaintances know that he is there as no sleeping partner. He infuses the same energy and zeal, and devotion and earnestness into his public work, that he does into his private affairs. He owns and manages large and extensive businesses as baker and mineral water manufacturer. He can be seen in his carts or lorries or motor cars along the roads and lanes of Pembroke- shire early and late, summer and winter, wet or dry, and yet he finds time to attend regu- larly and punctually at- the meetings of aH these public bodies, as well as at their in numerable committees: It is a tribute to his temperate habits and strong constitution that he has been able to do all this without any apparent injury to his health. The duties of school manager, churchwarden, member and chairman of various philanthropic and social committees make an additional tax upon his already heavily burdened time. But he hAs a passion for work, and on public bodies he has an instinct for doing what is right. He has no ulterior motive in anything he does. He is actuated by one desire, and that is to serve his fellow townsmen. He looks for no gain nor honour, save that feeling of self- satisfaction that he attempts to do what is right. How far his efforts have been suc- cessful can be measured only by the approba- tion of public opinion. The fact that on all occasions he has been returned at the head of the poll at the Urban Council Elections is an undeniable tribute to his popularity, especially when it is considered that the ma- jority of the residents are Nonconformists whilst he himself is a confirmed and zealous churchman. Born of very poor parents, Mr Rees set himself out to battle against all obstacles to attain a position of comparative affluence. In this lie has been extremely successful, but he has always remembered the needs of his less fortunate fellowls, with whose (tribula- tions and struggles he is so well acquainted. What manner of man is he? Never has he been known to refuse a helping hand to the weak and oppressed, and on all occasions his genoriosity has been proverbial. His success in business is out-paced only by his liberal and unstinted support of every movement which is intended to elevate and improve his fellow citizens. His only ambition is to serve, and his are the services of one, who, mindful of his own short-comings, and lack of educa- tional opportunities, endeavour at all times, and in all places, to giveto others those facili- ties that he himself never received. He is conscious of his own loss, and in consequence, strives to extend a helping hand to ail who will avail of it. Fihguard is proud of him, and to his credit may it be said that he at all times hears the heart-beatings of his fellow- townsmen and readily hearkens to their dictates. May he live long to serve the town he loves so well, which has already given him every honour within its power, and in which he is par excellence the "People's friend."

Milford Haven Postal Facilitfes- To the Editor of the "Telegraph." At a meeting of the M'iford Haven Council on Friday evening, the following letter was read from Mr C. W.
