INORTH WALES DISABLEMENT COMMITTEE.…
I NORTH WALES DISABLE- MENT COMMITTEE. THE LITTLE ACTON SCHEME. The monthly meeting of the Joint Disable- ment Committee for North Wales was held on Friday at Chester, Mr. Ll. Hugh Jones, lof Wrexham, presiding. Mr. William Lewis, superintending inspector of pensions in North Wales, and Mr. E. D. Jones, assistant In- spector, were present, and were congratulated upon their appointment and welcomed at the meeting. Mr. William Lewis, in reply, said be had taken up the position with consider- able diffidence, in view of the fact that ne was expected to follow- a gentlema.n of such wide experience and. sound judgment as Mr. Hugh Jones, of Wrexham, and he thought that the intention of the Ministry was that there should be the closest co-operation be- tween the direct representatives of the Min- istry and the local. pensions committees,, and he had no doubt that their relations would be of the most, cordial nature and that they I would be of mutual assistance. I- 1 I It was decided to amend the constitution of the Committee, in order to admit of the addition of representatives of ihe Welsh Asso- ciation of Health Insurance Committees and of the Liverpool Shipowners' Association. The Chairman reported that the Treasury had approved of the payment of a rent of £ 110 per annum as the rent for the residence known as Little Acton, near Acton Park, Wrexham, for use as a, hostel for discharged men, and of the expenditure of £ 400 in equipment. He had opened up negotiations with Sir Neville Cunliffe, who had consented to lease his pro- perty at Little Acton to the Committee. The building would be used as a hostel for the accommodation of discharged men who would be under training at Acton Park in the diamond-cutting industry and other crafts. The men would receive hospital treatment when required at the Croesnewydd Hospital, about a mile and a half away. In reply to Mr. Edward Hughes, Wrexham, the Chairman said that if it were found neces- sary later to use Little Acton as a hospital it would be available. The Secretary, Mr. G. G. Lerry, stated that he was every week receiving applications from various parts of the country, from men dis- charged as arrested or cured from sanatoria in which they had been treated for tuberculosis, for admission to the market gardening course at Wrexham Garden Village. He was so far unable to accept these men, as the Denbighshire Committee had been unable to remove the rule against the admission of men who had suffered or were suffering from tuberculosis. The Chairman said there was a natural objection on the part of discharged men to train under the gardening scheme alongsid.e tuberculous men, and admittedly it was not desirable to mix them up. The matter would be laid before the Minister at Wrexham; The question was discussed of how to keep the local secretaries of the Pensions Com- mittees posted as to the vacancies existing in the various institutions in which discharged men may be trained. It was pointed out that in. numerous cases when men were induced to undertake training in a particular trad.e there was no place available to which they could be sent. Finally Mr. Lerry was requested to consult Mr. William Lewis, and endeavour to evolve a scheme for putting the information as to the vacancies at the disposal of the local secretaries. Another matter regarded by the Com- mittee as of much urgency is as to the pro- vision of institutions for convalescents dis- charged from the Army. Dr. Edwards Jones, of Wrexham, called attention to the fact that a big and fully equipped building in his neigh- bourhood is standing idle owing to some diffi- culty between the trustees and the Charity Commissioners as to the observance of the trust under which it has been provided. This would answer well as a home for convales- cents. The Chairman remarked that there might be some arrangement whereby hospital: trusts might be altered for the period of the war only. Mr. Hugh Jones further stated that a "ward of the Alexandra Hospital at Rhyl had been placed at the disposal of the Committee for orthopjedic cases. Dr. Armour, of Liverpool, had kindly undertaken to treat men sent to this ward, and it would be a great advantage that the ward should be worked under the same auspices as the Croesnewydd Hospital. On the motion of Mr. LI. Davies it was de- cided to ask the "Ministry .to meet the need for j convalescent treatment on the same terms II.S, those on which they deal with the Red Cross Society to meet the need for hospital treat- ment.

■o- 4 » Croesnewydd Hospital, I Wrexham. I A NEW WORK. I — i It may not be generally known that since » the 1st of March the Boscawen ward at Croes- j newydd Military Hospital,. Wrexham, has been handed over to the Ministry of Pensions for I the orthopaedic treatment of disabled men j discharged from the,naval or military forces. ] The ward has been secured primarily for the d.ischarged men of the North Wales counties, and under the direction of Dr. T. R. W. Armour, of Liverpool, Dr. Moss, Dr. Ed- wards Jones, Dr. Harrison and Dr. Rd. Evans, valuable work is being done to restore to health men suffering from wound's and in- juries included in the category known as I" orthopwdic." As this work is of a pioneer character, advantage was taken of the visit of the Pensions Minister to invite him to the hospital, and on Saturday morning Mr. 'John Hodge together with Sir Arthur Boscawen, Major Robert Mitchell and Major Evans visit- ed Croesnewydd and saw the men at present in the ward, and the out-patient department, where an increasing number of disabled men attend daily to receive massage and various forms of electrical treatment.. Wrexham is exceedingly fortunate in possessing an insti- tution which through the munificence, of the family of the late Mr. Alfred Owen, of Wood- hey, has been equipped with modern appar- atus for the provision of massage, electricity, | galvanism, Faradism, Schnee baths, radiant heat, and Swedish exercises, and these have all been placed. at the disposal of serving and discharged soldiers by the Wrexham Board of Guardians, who handed over their new in-1 firmary to the War Office on the outbreal- of; war. The Pensions Minister was well pleased with everything he saw. He was cordially invited, by the staff, those present to receive him including Dr. Armour, Dr. Moss, Dr. Edwards Jones, Alderman T. B. Taylor, and Mr. E. D. Roberts (Brynteg). Dr. Edwards Jones, in moving a vote of thanks to Mr. Hodge, said the hospital author- ities d.,asired to help the Ministry of Pensions as much as possible, and he was glad to say that the whole of the apparatus in use at the hospital had been provided without cost to the public. Alderman Taylor seconded the resolution, and said, the ward reserved for pensioners was one named after the late Capt. Griffith Bos- cawen, father of Sir Arthur Boscawen, whose name was greatly revered in the Wrexham district. Mr. Hodge replying, returned thanks, and Sir Arthur Boscawen said that as far as Croesnewydd Hospital was concerned Wrex- ham was far ahead of any town in the country, outside London. (Applause). The Boscawen ward was beautifully decor- ated for the occasion with plants and flowers kindly sent by Mrs. Griffith Boseawen, whose late husband. was' Chairman of the Wrexham Board of Guardians for a long term of years.
j " Dog Licences. '''j
j Dog Licences. LLANFYLLIN MAGISTRATES TAKE I NEW LINE. The L'&nfyiiin Bench, Aid. John Lomur Mayor, presiding-, took a new line with repaid to dog licence exemptions on Friday, The PKA,ce had entered a number of objections in reepeot of applications for two exemptions on the ground tihat one was sufficient, but acting on a King's Reaidh Divisicn. ruling, the Bench dismissed the objections, where the applicants were farmers using the dogs solely for oheep and cattle. The case quoted by the clerk (Mr. A. Ei Jones) was one in which Loird Alvea-sstone heard an a.pp?ad against a refusal by a Pettv awsional t?910?, to ?ThTit two exemptions. Bench had laid down that before two exemptions wouijd be granted the stock must be over 150 cattle, and they decided that' one dog- was sufficient for the applicant. Lord A lverstone ruLed that the Bench went outside their powers in refusing two exempt:ons. Subject to the Court being satisfied that applicant was a fanner and that the dogs were used for farm purposes only, he was en- titled to two exemptions, eyen though the Bench thought one dog wm sufficient.
