The driver was rendered unconscious and conveyed to Aberystwyth Infirmary. SESSIONS.—On Wednesday, before W. 1. Watkins and T. W.

He is not expected to be able to resume his work for seven or eight weeks, though he is progressing as favourably as can be ex- oected. DEATH OF AN OLD SHIPWRIGHT.— The death recently occurred at the age of eighty, of Mr. Richard Morgan, who had practically spent his life in the town. He was a ship carpenter by trade and was one of the few remaining links with Aberystwyth's best days as a seaport and ship-building centre. In his younger days he was a man of fine physique and of great strength. He had been a member of the police force as well as a sergeant in the old police force as well as a sergeant in the old county militia; but in later years was crippled by rheumatism. He was one of a family of twelve children all of whom, with the exception of a. sister now living at Rochdale, have predeceased him. The Rev. J. Edwards and the Rev. J. Lewis Wil- liams officiated at the funeral. PROMENADE CONCERT.—The second of a series of Promenade concerts was given at the Rink on Tuesday evening and was fairly well attended by visitors and by the Mayor and members of the Town Council and was a distinct musical success. Comment has been made -on the inadvisability of the Corporation compet- ing with the owners of halls and pavilions giving entertainments in the town, but it is pointed out in reply that the owners are compensated by the Band not performing on the Promenade and that it gives an opportunity for hearing the fine band out- side the Pepper Caster and without the distracting noises which are allowed to pre- vail on the Promenade and of hearing high- class vocal music. The skilled instru- mentalists were heard to full advantage in the selections given, particularly in "Rigolletto, and the overture. "Poet and Peasant" and the clever and artjstic play- ing of the several instrumentalists was noted with satisfaction. Each one is a master of his instrument. Particularly: fine was the playing of the first violinist' and the flautist and of M. Jean Staquet of Squire's slumher song on tlie 'cello. The vocal pieces were sung in 'careful and ex- pressive manner by Mr. Lewis J. Morgan and Mrs hitlock Williams, who were each time encored; but the soirgs selected were somewhat lugubrious. The third concert will be he;d next Tuesday evening

He was granted tem- porary exemption until the end of Sep- tember the Clerk (Mr. Evan Evans,) -sav- ing that .the Tribunal realised the import- ance of the business; but hoped Mr Per- kins wou.d make further efforts to obtain a substitute.

The military appealed against that exemption. Phillips said that' like his three brothers he would have offered hmvKelf before conscription if he were in the same position. He relied on Mr. Waiter Long's statement with re- gard to "single men'' businesses. Tempor- ary exemption ,was granted until Septem- bei 15th, to enable him to dispose «f the business, without leave to further appeal. It was stated that Robert John Ellis, mason, Elton House, Bow Street, whose case had been adjourned, was now om- ployed in munition works. ,,lm yavid Evans, smal: farmer and .lead miner, Gerddigleision, Bontgoch. forw-hom -Air.

Rowland, Gaith; Joseph Evans, Llanfair; W. E. Mathews, Cardigan; D. D Evans, Oakford; and Evan Evans, clerk. Mr. Lima Jones was appointed the Council's representative as a shareholder in the Lampeter-Aberayron and New Quay Light Railway. The retiring representa- I tive, Alderman C. M. Williams, declined to be re-appointed, as he said it was only a farce. He had not attended the meet- ings, and it was impossible to do anything when meetings were oniy called every half-year. He hoped when the time came for his re-election as director that Mr. J. M. Howell would be able to give an under- taking to deal with the payment of in- terest on the loan of 1:18,000 made by the Council in aid of the railway. On the question of appointing four re- presentatives on the Court of Governors of Aberystwyth College, Mr. Wilkinson said he had noticed that Aberystwyth Town Council and other public bodies had re- fused to appoint representatives. He nought it would be well to know what was the cause of the misunderstanding. The Chairman—I have no personal knowledge of the reasons why Aberystwyth Town Council and other public bodies have refused to appoint governors; but I can say with pleasure what the College has done. There are members of the College Council present and they can also explain. It was agreed to ire-appoint the Rev. Daniel Evans, Mr. J. LAI. Howell, and Mr. D J. Williams as governors. The Rev. Arthur Thomas was appointed in the place of the late Rev. Thomas Levi. Alderman Loxdale was appointed in tho IP ace of the late Rev Thomas Levi as a governor of Aberystwyth County School. Mrs. Griffith, Aberystwyth: Mrs. T. Z. Jones. Aberayron; Mr. J^. J. Davies, the Rev. Daniel Evans, Messrs E. Lima Jones, Robert Ellis. W. 15. Mathews, and R. S Rowland were re-appointed the Council's representative on the Insurance Committee. Dr. John Morgan was also re-appointed as a medical practitioner. Messrs. E. J. Davies, W. E. Mathews, and Major Harford were re-appointed members of the Territorial Association. The Local Government Board wrote in- timating that under the Daylight Saving Act all clocks are to be set back to normal time on the night of September 30th. The Clerk read a letter from the Local Government Board stating that as the result of the public inquiry recently held at Aberystwyth into the application for an order limiting the speed of motor cars to ten miles an hour in the town and in cer- tain villages in north Cardiganshire, it had been decided to make an Order appli- cable to the following places :— Borough of Aberystwyth: Pier-street, Bridge-street, and the road leading from Bridge-street over Trefechan bridge and thereafter under the Manchester and Mil- ford Railway, to a point fifty yards south- east of the Old liooewalk Cottage. So much of Marine-terrace as extends in a south-westerly directiol2 from its junction with Pier-street to its junction with the New Promenade. So much of the new Promenade as extends from its junction with Marine-terrace to its junction with South-road. South-road and Terraec-road Borough and Rural District of Aberyst- wyth So much of the road thrcrgh the village of Llanbadarn as extends from the entrance to Llarihadarn Vicarage to a, point in the road sevemty yards south-east of the Post Office. Rurai District of Aberystwyth: So much of the main road from Machynlleth to Aberystwyth passing .through the village of Tre:rddol as extends from its junction with the lane leading to Pantglas Bach adjoining lynywern-eottages, to its junc- tion with :tbe road leading to Do 1 Clettwr fto much of the main road passing through the village of Talvbont as extends from a Kf P^?ty,r'ds n0rth of its ™ Renybontbren road to a point ninety yards north-west of its junction "TtU Factory-street, and so much of the main load passing through the village of Bow S-ti-eet as extends from a ooint fifty yards north of its junction with the road ^lead- v2ds°n ^u F''1 rm to a point seventy Sation entrance to Bow Street Rural District of Tregaron So much of the road through Tregaron as extends from SilkSUi 1m t 6 r°ad oppo'slto house called Llys Einon, in btation-road, alonir "'B.L: '1 ^tuon-roaa and Uhaoel-street to a point opposite the southern extremity of the County School, and so much oi the road through Tregaron as extends from a point Kewa-oS STh °5>the *cho°l Poises in ewi-i°ad, along Dewi-road and through the 10 yards north « ,v,fch the ,oad leading to the Vicarage. As regards the remainlllg lengths of road included in the apph:ation, it did not appear to Mr. Long that sufficient S»sSr r!t T 'Sh,°Wn to Justify ^e im- position of a reduced nmit to ten miles an hour for motor cars. At the same time it was suggested that the County Council should consider whether it was Lt desir- fnr +t° 6reC x c°nsPlcuous warning signs roads at P* ?he of nareau Tn l* t the vi,laSe parcau In view of Section 10 Tl) Gf ,f]1P Act, which required that the Ckmntv Council should place notices in con^pku ZZlFT'T .Mar iigw« T0" Inch the regulation referred, the Board deferred the issue, of their order u, tl l* iudhar.i"f°rmed tlMt th« Count" 'co J ?imit readr. th= suggested that tho c,ur"t,s notices at or near the junction of import- ant roads entering the roads tn ,1,1-. +1, I J.U vJIU regulation related shouW not be lost sight "hmiM h desirable that the drivers vhould have notice when entering a road Tho uas ^pkjoct to such a regulation. The question of nrovidiii, + ii notices required by the Order Was referred to the northern northern Executive with power to act. f«T+ £ /#thur Thomas gave notice applied for certain pIace in the southern part of the An application by Lampeter Rural Conn- cil for a contribution to the erection of a hridge mTer the river Granell, at Cape) St. Silin, Cribyn, was referred to the Southern committee. A letter was read from Mr. John Evans, coroner, revoking the appointment of Dr. 1 Bassett Jones, who is engaged with the army, as deputy coroner, and appointing Mr. Emrys Williams, Aberystwyth, in his place. It was agreed to refer the reports of the two sub-committees who inspected the main roads to a joint committee. Referring to a recommendation by the Southern Commftuee that the Surveyor should require two or three farmers in each petty sessional division to cut branches overhanging the roads, Mr J. M Howell called attention to the dangerous hedges at corners. Because of the iaxity of justices in inflicting fines nothing was done. The matter was so simple that people did not think of it. Mr. D. J. Williams was appointed chair- man of the Finance Committee, in succes- sion to Mr. E. Lima Jones, who was thanked for his services. The Einance Committee had considered a communication from Lampeter Council and other authorities with regard to the collection of taxation licences. It was agreed to urge the clerks to the justices to send in promptly certificates of exemp- tions granted in respect of dogs; to urge persons residing on the borders to take out licences within the county; to appeal to justices to impose substantial penalties for offences under the Finance and Revenue Acts; to appeal to the police to exercise increased vigilance in detecting offences; and to authorise the Chief Con- stable and the two superintendents to in- stitute proceedings against persons for using carriages without licences and other offences. With regard to the appointment of the Local Committee for the county under the War Pensions Act the Clerk said the Statutory Committee had again written, after carefully considering the representa- tions made, declining to approve the scheme submitted and suggesting that a committee should be appointed consisting of repre- sentatives of the Council and of the various labour organisations, as was done in other counties. On the proposition of Mr. D. C. xvonerts, it was agreed to appoint a com- mittee of thirty-one, including women, and to give eighteen members of the Council power to appoint the remainder repre- senting other bodies and to prepare a stheme. The Clerk was also authorised to appeal to the Local Government Board against the Auditor's surcharge of £ 17 2s. 3d. and £ 25 Us. lid. instalments of principal and interest on a mortgage in respect of loans for improvements and to ask Mr Vaughan Davies, M.P., to assist in having the sur- charge allowed. The Clerk reported that the Local Gov- ernment Board had acceded to the appeal and, on the Chairman's proposition, a vote of thanks was accorded Mr. Vaughan Davies, M.P., for his services. The Auditor, in his report for the year showed that receipts totalled £ 76,395, and expenditure £ 75,488. Attention was again called to the incompleteness and laxity in the preparation of the orders to the Trea- surer. Loans amounting to C2,645 were paid off and i-c-bori-owed-. but the new deeds did not appear to have contained any provision for the payment of loan in- stalments until twelve Inonth after tl at date, with the result that during the year 1915-16 no annual instalment in reduction of the principal of the mortgages had been paid and, unless the terms of repay nent were varied, the period of the kians .v(uld be twelve months in excess of the period sanctioned. Probably an arrangement could be made with the mortgagees to accept double instalments during the current year and to shorten the oeriod cf repayment by twelve months. Payments had been made to the University7 College of Wales oil estimates prepared by the University; but no credit had leen given in respect of the balance unnoent at the end of each year, with the result ihat the Council appeared to have overpaid f265. Credit should be given for that siun before making any further payment. It was stated that the matters referred to by the Auditor would be readjusted. Dr. John James was appointed chairman of the Public and Housing Commitin succession to Mr. Percy .»ilkinson. On an application by Cardiganshire r ai iners Inion, it was decided tha sheep dipping should commence u August 2ist instead of September 1st. Regulations proposed by the Board of Agriculture under the Sheep Scab Order as to the dipping of sheep brought into the county were approved The Chairman said the Order was im- portant. Mam* tack sheen were brought into the county from Carmarthenshire and Breconshire and there had been several cases of scab, especially in the central part or the county. Mr. Wilkinson said the reports in recent years had shown conclusively that Cardi- ganshire was free from scab* and. that the scab discovered had been imported. i, lr, U- Jowiand said he would like broufhTL PPed b6f°re th^ wre The S,! read the reguliticin, which arrival and h i soon as prncticable after othor ,'ni r co™ng into contact with should K «?" sheep from other counties should be dipped twice in fourteen days ui W Is RSrfed to instruct the Chief Con stable t0 enforce the regulation The business was trinsacted in record time, the meeting ifnishing in an hour mitte E Sma" Holding, Com- Sfngs ,v,n h!M1U<,ntl-J l;e,d !,n<1 «>e pro- S SNir'jeH-n' ed in {■*« »<&•» decided that Cwmcoednerth should be carried out

Sir,-i wish to draw your attention to the manner in wiucii sciioiul-sililys tor children under thirteen years ot age are being awarded by the Aberystwyth county hchooi. five cnilaren were tins year granted scholarships by adding age marks" to the marts allotted tor worn done. Sixty-nine candidates entered lor the recent examination. A list of the first twenty-five was issued and sixteen scholar- ships were awarded. Each of the 17th, loth, and 19th children on the list re- ceived more marks for arithmetic and Liiglish than either of the preceding five (who received scholarships), as the following show: 9th, Aberystwyth Council (Girls depart- ment), 94 arithmetic and English- 20 age marks; 114 total. 12th, Borth Council School, 92 arithmetic and English; 14 age marks; 106 total. 13th, Aberystwyth Council (Girls depart- ment), 93 arithmetic and English- 12 age marks; 105 total. 15th, Borth Council School, 92 arithmetic and English; 11 age marks: 103 total. 15th, Mefenydd Church of England School, 95 arithmetic and English; b age marks; 103 total. 17th, Aberystwyth Church of England School, 100 arithmetic and English- o age marks; 102 total. 18th, Borth Church of England School, 96 arithmetic and English; 2 age marks; 98 total. 5 19th, Rhydypennau Council School, 96 arithmetic and English: 0 age marks; 96 total. The awarding of scholarships on a basis of "age marks" is not only unjust but educationally bad. When a school pro- fessing to be a secondary (or "intermedi- ate") school admits children below the age of 12! years, it ceases to be a secondary school, especially when in actual fact the children do not reach the educational re- quirements of the intermediate grade. To give them age marks" to make up for the lack of actual attainments simply means that their elementary education has not been completed. Three evils result therefrom. Either it is proposed to com- plete the child's elementary education at the secondary school or the child is to be started on its secondary career without completing the elementary. On the other hand, altogether apart from educational attainments it is as bad to start children on their secondary career too young as to start them on their elementary at too tender an age. In the meantime children who have reached the proper standard both of years and education are losing the chance of a lifetime. This is not educa- tional progress, it is educational fadism and fads are the bane of the modern edu- cational development. It will do the younger children no harm and probably much good to wait another year.—Yours, etc., INTERESTED WATCHEK. I VOLUNTEER TRAINING CORPS. VOLUNTEER TRAINING CORPS. Sir,—At a meeting of the Cardiganshire Police Committee held at Aberayron on July 13th a statement is reported to have been made that the Aberystwyth V.T.C. had "fallen through." Will you allow me space to correct this statement? Many membene of the Corps being busy with other things during the season, the drills have been suspended for the summer months, but will be resumed in September. Though there are no drills at present, members meet regularly every Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock for mus- ketry practice at the Buarth range and keen interest is displayed in the scoring. I hope in due course to announce the date' of the resumption of drills in Sep- tember.—Your, etc., HnCHARD TOWNSEND GREER, Commandant V.T.C., Aberystwyth Frongog, Llanbadarn, July 23rd. SOCIETY FOiR THE ASSISTANCE OF LADIES IN REDUCED CIRCUM- STANCES. Sir,-At all times it is very difficult to raise money for poor ladies during the summer months. When the weather is cold and dreary people remember them; but when all ia bright and warm and sunny they are forgotten. They have to live summer and winter, and now that food is so expensive it is a problem how! they are to do so. The money is coming in very slowly. There are so many ladies depending upon me for monthly money, upwards of 150, and 50 more for orders for needlework. Next year the Society will attain its 30th year-30 years of wonderful progress from shillings to pounds (ELO,OOD last vear). A great deal of this money is not realizable, being invested. The distress- ing part of it is that we have to refuse assistance to many cases -almost every day or perhaps give £ 1 or j32 only. The Society has now a Financial Com- mittee and a Bank as its Treasurer, and its accounts are audited by a chartered accountant every three months. Full par- ticulars and a report can be had from the Hon. Sec., Edith Smallwood, who begs you most urgently to give a donation and not. to let a useful work of 30 years standing lapse for want of funds.—I am, etc., EDITH SMALLWOOD, Hon.

v- ■ Rp anb Rolmn the Coast [Selected]. r'II WAITING, Ah, me; the night is very dark, And moans the restless wind upon the hill. Frcm distant farms the watchdogs bark: Be still my aching weary heart, be still. Tbe sunless day is bleak and cold, The clouds trail drearily across the vale, Th-p- ice blasts smite both young and old: f must not at the last great moment fail. The way is very long and rough, And distant are the gohis I vainly -seek:; Worn out I pass from bluff to bluff, Nor find the haven promised to the meek. I see -no shining beacon light- I hoar no cheery voice say all is well— I waader through the deepening night Where those who went before me failed and fell. Those gone before; those still behind; The si.ent crowds that vainly come and go— They sought what none shall ever find; How they might shirk the blighted crops they sow. The harvest ripens to -its fruit. 'Neatli gloomy skies that lour and storms that rend; Life dumbly, without sign or bruit, Moves to the final goal where all things trend. WHEN DAY IS BRIGHTEST. Death has touched me with its icy fingers And made life richer than it was before; So at sunset, fading light that lingers Makes the day brightest just when it is o'er. MOUNTAINS FOLD ON FOLD. These mountains, fold on fold, are full of peace That lies neaih. summer's green or winter's white. Too deep far stopms of wind or rain to break.. These mountains- know no sorrow and na joy: They lift .their heads above the shifting cloud? And plant their feet on rocks beneath the sea., While dor:?! their face the babbling rivers run Like tears, as if the mountains nursed some gnifef In dim, dumb silence through the wasting years Till time had almost changed the grief to joy- Here fold on fold with valleys in between Earth's patient toilers build their pe&cefdl homes. Here in the spring they sow, inautmnn reap. And through all seasons work and watch and iwait For thai which either never comes at all, Or, halting, comes too late to save or bless. The Coast. J.'G.
