CORD rrHONDDA AND MR. LLOYD…
CORD rrHONDDA AND MR. LLOYD CEORCE. .1 Lord and Lady Rhondda were the guos-ts of the Cardiff C'ymmrodcrion at. the annual patronal fc-stli-al held at the City Hall on Friday. Mr John Rowland, M.V.O., pre- sident- of the Society, was supported by the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress. The President, referring to Lord W Rhondda, :,a:d that. as Mr D. A. Thomas in the HoiiKe of Commons, he was the most difficult of the Welsh members to man- age. (Laughter). At all times, however, he ter>!v the side of the smaller brother, and possessed qualities necessary to pro- mote the interests of a small nat onality like Wales. (Hear, hear). Lord Rhondda, in the House of Commons days. always saw the humorous side of thing:, and he (the President) was somet mes compelled to come to the conclusion that the Junior Member fcr Treorky and the senior mem- ber fcr Merthyr eaino from Ysguly>rwen. (Loud laughter). Be that as it may. the side of the do'ngs of the Welsh Parliamentary Party always appealed to Lord Rhondda. His lerdship was a Welsh- man cf the best type. H, was one of the few men who had helped to raise the world's estimation of Wales and its people. and his courage in re-era ;sing the Atlantic after hh terrible experience on the Lnsibnin," and his great services to K n^ and country in America in connection with the war agauist Germany wili live in history. (Applause) Lcrd HLondda" who was greeted with prolonged cheering and the singing of "He's a jolly good fellow." sa^d he deeply appreciated the honpur of being the guest of Welshmen in the capital of his beloved country. They were in the midst of a great Ynr, and it wa really not the time for convivial speeches. It was, however, appropriate that they should express the'r pride as Welshmen at the part that Welsh- men were playing in bringing about ulti- mate victory for the Empire in the present stracglo. Ho never felt more confident of victory. He certainly felt more con- fident than he d'd a year ago. (Hear, hear). Wales had turned out several men whose namel; would be long remembered in con- nection with the war: but he would only mention two only—two men whose he ventured to say, would go down in his- tory as having played the greatest part in winning the war. One of them, of course, s Mr Lloyd George, and the other Nl,.)- S:r Samuel Evans. (Land applause). He held no brief for hs f; iend Mr Lloyd George. As they knew ,during a great part of his political career his relat'ons with Mr Llovr] George were a bit strained (laughter)—but even then he learnt to admire h;s merits. When he was over in Amor'ca. and in Canada Mr Lloyd George's' name was constantly in the mouths of the great business m.en whom he had ccme in contact with. (Apnlnuse). Indeed, in America Mr Lloyd George was regarded as the greatest man In England to-day. He was not only the silver-tongued orator of Wales, which was a great thing in its way. but he was the man of action—tlie man who made, gcrd-and of all our Cabinet ministers he was the one who took his courage in both hands. He d;d not wait upon events, but recognised the serioiu gravity of the struggle and acted. (Applause). In that way he was help'ng more than any other in bringing about ultimate victory. Sir Samuel Evans would also be long remembered for the part he was taking in the prize courts, and for the great legal points he had decided without fear or favour. (Hear, hear.) Dyfed, in his delightful address, had re- ferred to. him (the speaker) as being able to :em,ove the Welsh mountains and to place them on the bo om of the ocean. Wales could not claim credit for the mat- erial wealth that was being wen out of her mountains; but they could for Wales that her material wealth had done as much as any district in the whole of the Empire to help to win the war. (Hear, hear). They prided themselves on their Xavy: but what could the Xavv do, or, indeed, what could the navies of France and Russia do without Welsh coal? That was not a time for criticism, but he had no doubt the Government would be pleased to receive constructive crit'cism that would be helpful to any of its departments. Many of them felt that there had been a great deal of muddling and of unnecessary extravagance in the war. His belief was that there had been less muddling and less extravagance in this war than in an- previous war in which the Br't/Vh Empire had been engaged. When thev remembered what had been rccnmplished1 during the T).)st two years t,lw,' could not but feel that a marvellous ?cl-i;evement had been brought about. (Applause).

They were mostly those of farmers and farm servants, and the majority were granted conditional certificates. Colonel Brewer was the military representative. Borough Tribunal. The Borough Tribunal sat on Friday evening with Dr Walker in the chair. There were a dozen cases to consider. The first case was that of a person who claimed conditional ex- emption during the life of his mother. Colonel Brewer said the man was over fcrty-one years of age and he only asked that he should be put back on the reserve and liable to be called up if the age was extended. Conditional certificate granted. —A dentist claimed that his work was of public importance. He gave an estimate of work on hand. He offered himself at the outbreak of war and was refused. Since then he had taken a house and it would mean serious financial hardship if he had to close up. Temporary certificate fior three months granted.—The Registrar of the County Court claimed exemption for his clerk, who was also sub-bailiff. He was indispensable to the office, which was a public one. The Superintendent Re- gistrar confirmed this by letter. Put back for four months. Five students of St. David's College who were taking their finals in June were put back until then. They all said they would net again appeal- Mr J. Emrys Jones, solicitor, applied for a hairdresi-er. who had a business of hi £ own which would have to be closed down'. He also supported a widowed mother and had been attending to the customers of his brother, who was ill at the time he put in notice of appeal and had subse-<j quently d*ed. Granted four months ex- tens'on.—A man who had married since November applied for exemption on the ground rf his having a small holding and intended having a market garden; al;,r) on the ground of ill-health. The Military Representative closely questioned him as to why he did nct attest instead of taking a small holding. He produced a doctor's certificate. Conditional cert:ficate granted, fr J. Emrys Jones applied for a partner in a baker and corn and flour merchant's business. He stated that he had two brothers who were medically unfit to do heavy work. He way the only one who could handle sacks of flour and do heavy work.

Alaster's Report.—The Master reported that Aliss Evans. the female assistant, had given a month's notice to leave.—Tho notice was accepted and the question of engaging a -substitute was referred to the House Committee. Vote of Thanks.—A vote of thanks was accorded the Rev Keble Williams, curate of St. Peter's, Lampeter, for generosity to the inmates. t Commutation of Pensions.—A letter was read from the St. Ciolumb Alajor Union en- closing a resolution drawing the attention cf the Government to the abuse of the practice of the commutation of pensions which were squandered, and suggested that in future if the practice oould not be abolished more stringent care bo taken in administ; ation, so that only men of ex- cellent character should be permitted to commute, and then only after full enquiry into the nature and soundness of any pro- posed inve»;tmont.—It was resolved to sup- port the resolution. After the War.—The Guardians of Exeter Parish wrote that they had had under tlie;.r consideration the question or the return of members of H.M. Forces to c vil life after the war. and in view of the then cessation of separation allowances, were strongly of opinion that a weekly payment of deferred allowances would be extremely valuable to many families while the men were in search of employment, and had therefore passed a resolution that the Government be strongly urged to withold, say. twenty per cent. of the allowances during the war, and tho amount sc witheld be paid in weekly in- stalments on the return of the men to civil life.—It wa3 decided to support the resolution. I LLANYBTTHER RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL.— A meeting was subsequently held. Annual Report. Annual Report. Dr E. C. Thomas, medical officer of health, presented his annual report which was as follows, and was confined to a re- cord what had taken place during tho year. The population estimated to the middle of 1915 was 5,580, showing a de- crease of nineteen, but that did not shew the actual statistics, as many had left to serve their country. The number of births were sixty-one, being seven fewer than in 1014, and seventeen per 1.000 of the popu- lation. Total deaths registered were sixty- six, or 18.4 per 1,000 nf the population, being twelve less than last year. The transferable deaths of non-residents regis- tered in the district were two. The net deaths belonging to the district under one year were five, or eighty-one per 1,000 births. Tlie cases of infectious d'seases notified during the year were, at all ages. seventeen'as against twenty-one in 1914 dlldtwenty-ltwOi in 1S13. The suitable male ,if tuberculosis were sent to the West Wales Sanatorium, which oon- trrned between eighty and n'netv beds. The causes of death showed that 21.2 per cant. occurred from tuberculosis, as against twent,v-twr> nor cent, m 1914, From the table of the ages at death, it would be noticed that the number of deaths diminished after the end of the first jvear until 'the twenty-fifth year. The number then doubled between forty-five and s xtv-five and doubled again at ages beyond sixty-five. Infantile mortality was slightly lower than that of last year, being eighty-one per 1,000 as compared with eighty-eight in 1914. S'nee the nctifigation of Births Act had come into force three male and eight female infants were notified as having been biorn in the district. The number did not represent the actual member of births as the notifi- cation of Births Act was not generally known in the rural districts during the first month or so after the Act had come into force. The factories, etc., were alii in a satisfactory sanitary state and milk- shop.; and dairies were fairly satisfactory. Tho report of the Sanitary Inspector's work was as follows:—Inspections served work was as follows:—Inspections served Public Health Act. 1?4; notices served, tv,-c, complied with (more or less) one Inspections under Housing Act, 1909, fifty-four; not'ces served fourteen; com- plied with (more or less), seven.

Representations numbe" of closing orders, seventeen:! number of elcsng orders, nil; ren-tedied without closing order, seven. The con- i ^'deration of the report was deferred to the next meeting. Special Report. ¡ 1n special r-nort the ATedieal Officer cf Henlth drew the CWNUC I'S attention to a qon; tqte of affairs at Llwynrvsgu, in the parish of Penc^rrpf. On nf-, the ¡ nlace on .Tnuu^r- 22nd he found that four persons h?d died of tuberculosis during the past six years. Since that date two other cases had been not:fied, one of whom died of tuberculosis of the brain. At the time of his visit the sleeping accommoda- tion consisted of one room for four per- sons and a patient occupied the other room. The four persons slept in a room with one window. no fire place, and no proper vent.lation. The patient occupied i a room with a fire place and a window, 1 but no through ventilation. That was an I example of a house where one frequently found cases of tuberculosis, but it was a rare occurrence to find six cases; in six yfars in the same house. He found that ■ the dairy was in the kitchen and not properly ventilated. It should be outside the house. There was a chalet outside the house, but not used. A stream of water runs along the back of the house and a hedge abuts one end. Unless the above- mentioned defects were remedied he was of opinion that the house should be closed, though to an ordinary observer it would appear to be a fairly good house. Too many lives, however, had already been sacrificed to allow such a state of affairs to continue. It mattered not what steps might be taken to disinfect the premises unless through ventilation was provided. He was rather chary of condemning houses during war time, but if insanitary condi- tions of that kind were allowed to remain unnot.ced and of frequent occurrence the loss of life that would ensue would be even more than that caused by the present war.—It was decided to write the land- lord in the matter. Stones. Air M. L. W. Lloyd Price, Bryneothi, having written to say that he would not having written to say that he would not allow stone from lvs quarry under 15s. a year rent. the Clerk was directed to ask Mr Pr ,ce to be good enough to reduce the price to 10s. Tribunal. It was resolved that Alessrs Dl. Davies, Llanllwni, and W. Edwards, Pencarreg, be appointed on the local tribunal. The Surveyor. The Clerk was directed to make an a.ppl'cation on behalf of the Council for exemption from nrlitary service of the Read Surveyor (Mr D. Saunders Rees). Gipsies. The Surveyor was directed to put up a signboard on the Abercwm-road. Llan- llwni, warning g-psies from encamping thereon. Refused. An application from Air John Jones of Mount. Llanllwni, for permission to br:ng tho wall of tho forecourt of his house out- side the line of the hedge of his premises was refused. ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE. -Ir LIew O. Davies presided over a meeting of the Assessment Committee. The supplemental valuation lists for Lampeter Urban and Trefilan parishes were submitted and alloi-ed.-I-lr D. Edwards of Bwlchnewydd. Pencarreg, objected to the assessment of the dwelling house and garden called Bwlchnewydd.—It was re- r-olved that the Chairman, Mr T. AI. Griffiths, and Mr Watkin Davies be appointed to inspect the premises and re- port on the question of its assessment.— The assessment of Beulah, Llanfairclyd- ogau, was reduced. LAMPETER RURAL DISTRaCT COUNCIL, Mr Llew 0. Davies presiding. Surveyor's Report. The Surveyor reported that they had started wvfch the work of widening the road near Alaesyfelin in Llanwenog parish. The eld hedge had been pulled down the whole length of one field, a distance of eighty- c ght yards. Mr Bowen had kindly allowed from five to six feet width along that distance so that there would be ample room in future for vehicles to pass. -31r Bowen was prepared to give more land free of charge to the Council alongside an- other fieid which he owned and suggested that a committee should be appointed to see what he was prepared t,o g.ve. The Surveyor, however, suggested that the Council should not proceed with the other hedge at present as the work of channell- ing was rather backward in Llanwenog and Llanwnen parishes owing to the extra work the r.oadmen had been engaged on during the winter, quarrying for the bridge at Capel St. SiLn and the widening of Drefach road. There was also a great deal of extraordinary traffic over the roads this winter, in the haulage of heavy timber. The roads of Llanwen,og, Llan- j wnen, and S lian parishes had suffered a great deal owing to heavy traffic. He had approached Air Price, Oroesgwenllian, re the granting of a strip of land for widen- ing Drefaeh road. Air Pi*ice was willing to rell but was not prepared to give it free of charge to the Council. The Council unanimously thanked Mr Bowen for his generous offer and resolved to make the necessary improvement in the road along the length of the piece of land mentioned. The Chairman was deputed to see Mr Price and his son. Annual Report. The Medical Officer, in his annual re- port, said the estimated population was 3,588, but was now less owing to many serving with the colours and some had lost their lives in the war. The birth rate was 21.4 per 1,CCO and the death rate fifteen per 1,000. Twenty-eight eases,of infectious I diseases were notified during 1915 as against thirty-seven in 1914. including four of diphtheria, fourteen of scarlet fever, and nine of pulmonary tuberculosis. It is gratifying to note that the number of cases of diphtheria has fallen from twenty- two last year to four this year. Scarlet fever, however, was fourteen against four in 1914 but no deaths occurred. The cases were fewer than they used to be. Greater care is taken in notification and disinfec- tion more thorough. Through ventilation in rural cottages is frequently defective. Tuberculosis cases are diagnosed at an earlier stage and the nurse does good work in preventation and treatment of the dis- ease. Patients also are more ready to avail themselves of sanatorium treatment, but the results would be more apparent if they could be made to believe that their bodily salvation depends to a great extent I on themselves. Open air, plenty of food, a moderate amount of work and less moping over the fire in badly-ventilated rooms are the secrets of success in combat- ing this disease. One of the chief d fficul- ties of efficient disinfection in cases of tuberculosis is how to deal with clothing, people being unable to afford to destroy infected clothing and there is no steam disinfecting apparatus in this or any of the adjoining districts. The total number of deaths was fifty-one, out of which twenty-two per cent. occurred from tuber- culosis and sixteen from heart disease. Seven were under one year of age and nineteen sixty-five and over. Infant mor- tality was ninety-one per 1,000 net births as compared with ninety-three in 1914 and 258 ;n 1913. S nee the Notification of Births Act came into force thirteen births had been notified. As the necessity for notifying births was not known to all the public during the first month Or so that number probably does not represent the actual number born in the district. All the births have to be notified to the Aledical Officer of Health of the district who, in turn notifies them to the County Medical Officer of Health who with the assistance of trained nurses, acts as Executive Officer. Blaenau School was closed on account of whooping cough and influenza; and Llanwnen School on account of scarlet fever. Sporadic cases of scarlet fever occurred in the parishes of Silian, IJanfairclydogau, Llangybi, and Cellan. The schools and houses where the cases occurred were visited by him. The chil- dren were excluded from school for certain periods and the Sanitary Inspector disin- fected the premises. There are reasons to believe that a number of mild cases of scarlet fever have occurred in those parishes which were net attended by any medical man and consequently were not notified. His attention was specially called to the condition of Llangybi Council School where leakage occurs in the roof, causing dampness of the whole classrooms. Concrete should be laid at the back of the school house and the playground should be gravelled. The caves spouting is also de- fective. These defects require immediate attention as they have existed for a long time and have been, he understood, re- ported before. There are eleven factories. workshops and work places in the district, all in a satisfactory sanitary state. The milk supply is fairly satisfactory.- The following is a report of the Sanitary In- spector (Mr Joshua Evans) during the yearInspections under the P.H.A., 1875, 114. Under the H.A., 1909 sixty three. Notices served forty-two. Not:ces complied with (more or less) seven. Dwell- ing houses inspected, fifty-one. No. of houses dangerous to health, seven. Re- presentations made td Local Authority for further instructions, twenty. Rcpresenta- C< tions with a view to making closing orders, seven. Closing orders nil. Remedied without making closing order, seven. Special Report. In a special report the Medical Officer stated that measles broke out at Trefilan necessitating closure of the school, though most of the cases occurred in Tregaron d.strict. The Sanitary Inspector and him- i self visited the district and took the ne- cessary precautions to check its spreading, An epidemic of jaundice occurred in New Court and its surroundings amongst chil- dren attending New Court Council School. The water supply of the school had been frequently reported as being liable to pollution and he was in communication [ with FiT Rees, school and county medical Officer, with regard to the matter. The Cardiganshire Education Committee ought to attend to it. TOWN COUNCIL. A meeting of the Council was held on Thursday evening, when I there were present Councillor LJ.

At the previous meeting Alajor Harford's solictors had written that certain restric- tion. would have to be observed by the Coune'l after purchasing the market; but the Council objected to them, the Town Clerk being instructed to write to that effect. A letter was read from the sol- 'tvtors to the efi-sct that the restrictions were withdrawn. Annual Report. The Medical Officer of Health for the borough sent in his annual renort. There were 500 inhabited houses and the number of deaths during the year had been thirtv- c b rths, twenty-five. All workshops and factories had been inspected and were I snt sfacbory.
