v' 0: — "COLWYN BAY T. A. A. & PIER COMPANY. 11SURYING THE HATCHET." ASSOCIATION ACCEPT COMPANY'S TERMS. Mr J. Fred Francis presided over a repre- Jientative meeting of the Oolwyn Bay TiuwDi Advertising Association to-day week. The chief business of interest related to the Eint discussed at such length at the last meet- j of the Urban District Council, namely, other the Chairman of the Pier Company Jiad promised at a meeting of the Council ia jommifctee to give the "free" use of the Pavilion fp the T.A.A on the occasion of the last May- ay festival. It was reported that since then the Pier Com- toany had sent the association a bill for £ 30 for giie use of the hall, and that as the account re- tained unpaid the Company had tthreatened to jue a writ against them. About a fortnight ago l6 Association were informed that a certain Cumber of days' "grace" had been granted &enj, but that if the bill remained unsettled last Baturday week the writ would be put in force. The Chairman of the Association was then Heputed to interview the Chairman of the Pier Mmpany with the object of discussing the situa- fcion, and on Thursday Mr Francis presented his Keport of the deliberations. He said he had seen idr Mason on the previous Saturday, and that gentleman had met him very fairly. The point between them had been discussed at consider- ble length, but Mr Mason appeared to be quite termined to issue the writ unless the £ 30 re, After a good many arguments on both and particularly on his, continued Mr cis, I thought it was not worth while to Continue the disoussion, and that I had better leave. I then said, "You mean to get your Abound of flesh," and he replied, "Don t put it Chat way. because it is hardly fair." We then ffiarther debated the matter, and then he said bo would be pleased to meet us, but he must i in gist, upon the payment of the sum in full, on Ssftoich understanding he would give us five guin- 'jbas towards our funds. I said the best thing se could do would be to accept that, and I now toink so, having regard for what we have b&en told is our legal position in the matter. With Ifegard to what occurred at the Council meet- ijas, his explanation was that, when Mr Dicken ifairtyi him for the use of the pavilion, he had Am his mind the fact that a report had been cir- culated in the town to the effect that the com- |5any intended to get up a special entertain- v) £ nt of their own on May-day. He said that jroat was in his mind was that Mr Dicken rted the company to forego their resolution that matter so that the Association's affair tcald be held as usual. He said the word "free" jfraa never mentioned (laughter). I could not tell him he was telling stories-41anghter)-but I JBiought it would be better to settle with him Amicably. I thought the matter over very care- fully while talking with him, but I could see 4W was determined to issue the writ. Then, fecollscting that Mr Bernard Lucas had told us Jhre had not a leg to stand upon, I decided it was Ho use fighting a losing battle. What I have tione may not be in accordance with your wishes, gentlemen, but under the circumstances I could iop no better. Mr Llewelyn Jones: We will be bound to pay |n any ease; there is no getting away from that. The Chairman. I shall be pleased to answer feny question you may put to me. There may be some points. I have overlooked in my re- port, because the interview was a long one, and fcoth of us got very warm over it once or twice *~{laughier)—but that I think helped our case a fcit (renewed laughter). NO BIAS. Mr Llewelyn Jones: Was there any bias shown against the Advertising Association? The Chairman: Not the slightest hit; not against us or against any individual upon the Council. Mr Rush said he failed to see what concession Mr Mason thought he was giving Mr Dicken .when he intended charging 230 for the pavilion (hear, hear). He questioned very much whe- ther the oompany often took £ 30 per night at their concerts (hear, hear). The Chairman: Doubtful. Mr Rush added that if they did the oompany Brould be paying a very satisfactory dividend. The Chairman: The question for us now is Jtphether it would be better for us to settle in this way or to fight. After the advice of Mr Lucas the other night I don't think it would be ÍLrlvisable for us to fight. Mr E. Allen said he quite agreed with the Chairman. He thought it was the duty of the Council now to face the question as to whether thfcjjjromise made was a good one. ltlr T. J. Dowell: What will be our position Vvith regard to the use of the pavilion in the luture? The Chairman replied that that point had been raised in the course of the interview, and Mr Mason said that as the company would want the pavilion themselves in the future the Asso- ciation would not be able to have it even if they paid £ 50 for it. Mr Mason assured him that thdt had been decided upon by a resolution adopted previous to last May and previous to the Council meeting at which he was alleged to have pro- mised the free use of the structure. Mr Allen remarked that the strange part of the Svhole business was that, though the promise had been published in the local press, no contradiction J>f the statement had ever appeared. The Chairman: Quite right. Mr Allen: But it is no use flogging a dead horse now. The best thing we can do ia to pay up, and try and work amicably with one another in the future. Mr Rush: But according to Mr Mason there is )to chance of our working amicably. NO ILL-FEELING. Mr Allen said it had been frequently alleged that the Association and the Pier Company were pr Working in opposition to one another. The Associa- tion had been established to help the Pier Com- ipany as it helped all other ratepayers in the dis- trict (hear, hear). They acknowledged that the rler concern had become an institution which they would not like to see closed up—(hear, hear) !—and no one could belittle the influence of the pavilion upon the welfare of the community. The Association certainly had nothing but good Jwishes for the undertaking, and to say that they ppposed it was unjust (hear, hear). Mr Llew. Jones: Will there be any objection to our holding our winter concerts at the J»avilion? The Chairman, in reply, read a letter from Mr ]Mason enclosing a cheque for five guineas by way of a subscription towards the Association's funds, and urging that his name be not printed in the list of subscribers, but that the amount be predited to "Suppdltter." The letter concluded with an expression of a desire to do anything that might be to the mutual interest of the com- pany and the Association. A letter was also read from the oompany's Secretary, with reference to the Association's ap- plication for the loan of the pavilion on two jfright# during November and December, stating tlw 'Jhe lowest fee would be ten guineas, but "if jyot decide to engage the pavilion and the dates suitable I am instructed to say that my Company will contribute one-half that amount Its a donation to your funds." The Chairman: So that reduces the fee from lien guineas to five guineas a night. Mr Llew. Jones: We have usually paid seven guineas. Mr Joa. H. Roberts said the pavilion had been lent to them for five guineas before on condition that three entertainments were held there in succession, though only one had actually been held (laughter). On the motion of Mr Edward Allen, seconded by Mr Rush, it was eventually decided that a cheque for B50 be sent in settlement of the oom- pany's bill for the use of the pavilion last May- Day. THE SUBSCRIPTION. The Chairman: Then what of this subscription? Mr Dowell: We can't afford to refuse any sub- scription at present, and I move that we accept that one. Mr Llew. Jones: Much as it is against the grain, I don't see that we can very well refuse it, so I second the proposition. A Member: The matter does not call for special comment (laughter). The motion was agreed to. It was further resolved that the secretary engaged the pavilion for Wednesday, December 9th for one of the Association's concerts, and that Messrs Fleet, Llewelyn Jones, Rush, Joe. H. Roberts, and T. J. Dowell prepared a musical programme for the occasion. NEXT MAY-DAY. Mr Allen then proposed that, "an we are on such good terms with the Pier Company now, we ask them to bury the hatchet and let us have the pavilion for our next May festival on May 5th next." Mr Llew Jones seconded, and this wall agreed to. THANKS. A cordial vote of thanks was accorded the ohairman for interviewing the Pier Company's chairman. NEW GUIDE. It was decided that steps be at once taken with the object of preparing a new guide for next season, the following being deputed to act as a Guide Committee: The Chairman, Messrs T. Edwards, Dowell, Llewelyn Jones, Booth, Ed. Allen, Joe. H. Roberts, and W. Howells Jones. THE PHOTO. PORTFOLIO. The Secretary reported that photographs for the portfolio had been sent lately by Mr Thomas, Miss Tompkhison, Mr Llewelyn Jones, and him- self. On the proposition of Mr Jos. H. Roberts the donors were heartily thanked. Amongst the gifts was one photograph sent by Mr Thomas, the Conway-road photographer, db- picting Conway-road looking west from Mr Francis' Mews as it appeared about twenty yeazs ago-an eloquent bit of evidence of the remark- able development of the town.
DO YOU FEAR THE WINTER?
DO YOU FEAR THE WINTER? PEPS FOR COUCHS AND COLDS. If you are among the many who have good cause, from sad experience, to fear the shorten- ing days, the approach of winter, the chilly nights, broken, weather, keen winds, fog, rain, frost, and storm, now is tho time to arm your- self with a genuine remedy for throat and chest troubles. There are two great causes to which an chest and throat troubles are traceable. First, infec- tious epidemics, spread by germs, to which all are more or less subject; and second, weakness of the throat and chest, due to some neglected or wrongly treated trouble in former seasons. The only sensible way to fight the first of these evils-the risk of catching infections colds, influenza, or contagious throat trouble-is to keep Peps always at hand in the home, as the only reliable and certain safeguard which is free from nerve-destroying drugs and habit-forming narcotics. AU germ-carried diseases are breathed into the body, inhaled through the nostrils and throat into the lungs and so absorbed into the blood. The germ-killing fumes of Pepa are also breathed into the throat and lungs in the same way. The disease is thus attacked and conquered by Peps along its own line of assaull Other medicines conveyed to the blood through the stomach—like liquid cough-mixtures—only begin their feeble attack on the disease when the mischief is already done, when the germs have invaded the blood and infected the whole body, and then it is too late.. Whenever a change in the weather, or any indiscreet or unavoidable exposure to chills, draughts, night air, or sudden change of tem- perature, threaten a return of old throat or chest troubles, a few Peps tablets slowly dissolved in tho mouth will fill the lungs with their healing and balsamic essences. As these wonderful medi- cinal fumes are breathed into every corner of our lungs and chest, the delicate tissues are gently stimulated into glowing natural action, repelling chill, softening accumulated phlegm, loosening the "tightness" of the breathi'ng passages, and toning up the weak spots. Of all the thousand and one "remedies" so vainly used for coughs, colds, bronchitis, asthma, influenza, croup, wheeziness, tightness, tickling cough, night cough, spasmodic cough. barking, hawking, hoarseness, sore throat, huskiness, loss of voice, stuffiness in the chest, no medicine has achieved such universal success as Peps. Delicate children, racked with terrible coughs (and only anxious mothers know how pitifully the children suffer from such evils), get the great benefit from the soothing influences of Peps, Old folks, whose days and nights are one long tor- ture from chronic deep-seated bronchial evils, find peace, comfort, and cure in Peps. Striving workers, handicapped in life's battle by violent coughs and other chest and throat troubles caused by breathing foul odours and irritating dust at their work, find in Peps a sure ally. Peps will cost you Is 1 a box, or 2s 9d for a big family supply containing three times as many tablets. If your chemist is temporarily out of stock, don't be tempted with cheap substitutes, but write to the Peps Co., Carlton Hill, Leeds, who will supply post free at the same prices. -L ———————————«
CARNARVONSHIRE TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION.
CARNARVONSHIRE TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION. "ACTING ON BEHALF OF THE WHOLE BODY OF CERTIFICATED TEACHERS." At a meeting of the Carnarvonshire Teachers' Association, at Carnarvon, on Saturday, Mr D. W. Thomas, Llandudno, presiding, it was stated that during the recent conference between repre- sentatives of the teachers and the education au- thority, Mr D. P. Williams had asked them what they wanted, and added that quite sixty Rwe head teachers in the county had personally as. sured him during his periodical visits to the schools that they were quite satisfied with the existing condition of things in the county. Those teachers present who had not made much a statement to the chairman of the educa- tion authority were requested to stand up. Every teacher in the room stood up. The teachers then unanimously decided in view of the statement circulated to the effect that a few teachers only were at the bottom of the pre- sent unrest in the county that a communication be submitted to the local education authority to the following effect—"That the council of the County Teachers' Association speak and act on behalf of and at the request of the whole body of certificated teachers engaged in tho county of Carnarvon."

ST. ASAPH BOARD OF GUARDIANS.
ST. ASAPH BOARD OF GUARDIANS. A DISCUSSION ON THE LICENSING BILL. The fort/nightly meeting of this Board was held on Friday. Mr Edwin Morgan -(Tremeirchion) presided, and Mr J. Frimston (Rhyl) occupied the vice-chair. There wera also present: Messrs J. R. Ellis, Abcrgele; W. S. Roberts, Bocuari; R Da vies, BtUws; Hugh Williams, Robert Jones, J. Ellis Jones, Mrs Gee, Den- bigh Messrs Wm. Wiliiains, Henilan; Wm. Jones, Llan- nefydd; Geo. Williams, Melxden; S. Perks, Hugh Ed- wards, G. F. Gunner, 1. Batlio, J. H. Ellis, Mrs De Rance, Rhyl; Messrs J. Lothian, St. Asaph; Robert Jones, Pennant Williams, Prestatyn; John Morris, Trefnant; John Jones, Wacn; and Chas. Grimsley (clerk). THE WORKHOOSE. It was reported that there were in the workhouse 162 inmates, as against 140 the corresponding period last year. The uumhar of vagrants relieved during the fortnight were 222, an incresae on the correspond- ing period of 43. The Master stated that he had had the pigs in the styes valued, and had received increasing offers, until that day the total was 233 19s, which showed a profit to the Board on the rearing of the pigs of U Os 6d per head. The Master reported that the Welsh Free Church Council of Itbyl had entertained the inmates, and he referred to the presence of three Rhyl Gyardians at the entertainment. On the motion of the Chairman, a vote of thanks was passed to the Council for their kindness. VOTE OF SYMPATHY. The Chairman said he was pleased to hear that the Rev. Oanon Roberts, Llanddulas, was getting better, and he proposed that they convey to him their sympathy in his recent illness, and congratulations on his pro- gress towards recovery. This was also unanimously carried. DEBATE ON THE LICENSING BILL. The Chairman said he noticed that there was on the agenda a notice by Mr Hugh Edwards, Rhyl, of a resolution thanking the Government for having brought in the Licensing Bill. Personally, he desired to say that he regretted Mr Edwards' action in raising a poli- tical question. If thsy remembered, some years ago they used to have political discussions which caused a great deal of friction and unpleasantness among the members. For some time these subjects had been dropped, and matters on the Board had worked most harmoniously. He would be sorry if political questions were raised again. Mr Hugh Edwards said he did not consider that the Lioensing Bill was a political measure. Other Unions had discussed the Bill and passed resolutions in its favour. He did not introduce the motion as a member of a political party,' but as a rat-epayer and a guard- ian- The Licensing Bill was not a party measure, but one of social reform. The Chairman said it was one of the most political questions before the people of the present day. Mr Edwards: You do not rule me out of order. The Chairman: No. Mr Edwards then moved his motion, and added that thsy as guardians were interested in the social reform of the country, and they should do all they coulu to stem the tide of intemperance and to remove the eauao of so many people in the country requiring re- lief. In his opinion the Bill would help to make the people more thrifty, and would remove temptation from their paths. He could furnish the Board with the testimony of over 100 masters of workhouses who said that at least two-thirds of the inmates of the work- houses had comel there through drink, directly or in- directly. But they need not go outside their own are& for evidence of what drink had done. He con- sidered that the measure was far from being a poli- tical one, as it received the support of the leaders of all religious denominations, from the Archbishop of Canterbury down. The leaders of the democracy also supported it, and they had ample proof that the clergy and leading Churchmen supported it. It was true that there were a few Liberals who voted against it bccause it affected their pockets, but they were outclassed in numbers by the Conservatives who supported the mea- sure. Thev did so because it touched their hearts. Mr Robert Jones (Denbigh) seconded, and said he looked upon the measure as one of social reform- They should as men take their stand, and, in the interests of the rising generation, do all they could to sup- port the Bill. Mr 1. Battio supported the motion, and pointed out that there was a great "weight of opinion in favour of the Bill from men who were opposed to the prin- ciples of Liberalism. It was a moral question, and called for their support. Mr J. H. Ellis said he had not intended to take part in that debate, but he was bound to reply to Mr Edwards, who said that the Bill was a temperance measure. He could say, as one concerned in the trade, that no one was more anxious than himself to encour- age and promote temperance (hear, hear). He asked in what way was the Bill a temperance measure? If they had gone in for prohibition all would have been served alike, but he did not consider that the Bill touched the spot from which there was the greatest danger. The Bill did not touch clubs, and how then could it be called a temperance measure? It was also said that the Bill would reduce drunkenness by shut- ting up some of the public-houses, but the closing of public-houses in large towns had resulted in an increase rather than a diminution of drunkenness. If the Bill was such a good and temperance measure why was not its provisions extended to Scotland and Ireland? He considered it would have been more fair to have placed clubs on the same footing as licensed victuallers, mak- ing them pay the same amount to the revenue, and being under police supervision. He knew of many clubs where more drink was consumed than in ordinary public-houses, yet this "temperance Bill" aid not pro- pose to touch them. It was a political motion, and he moved that the Board proceed to the next business. Mr J. Lothian seconded, and said that already they had sfeoo laws to obey, and he thought that that waa quite enough to be going on with (laughter). They did not want any more laws, and he objected to poli- tical discussions. A division was then taken, when the voting was as follows:—For Mr Edwards' motion: Messrs J. R- Ellis, Robert Jones (Denbigh), Robert Jones (PrCB- tatyn), J. E. Jones, Wm. Williams, R. Davies, G. Wil- liams, Pennant Williams, J. Frimston, Hugh Edwards, John Morris, I. Batho. G. F. Gunner, Mrs Gee—14. Against: Messrs W. S. Roberts, Hugh Williams, E. Mor- gan, Wm. Jones ,J. H. Ellis, J. Lothian, and John Jones—7. Mr S. Perk? and Mrs De Rance did not vote. It was then decided to send copies of the resolution to local M.P's. LOOKING AFTER A LEGACY. It was reported that a person had come into a sum of money, who, it was stated, owed the Board £21 for maintenance. The Clerk was instructed to take the necessary steps to recover the amount due to the Board.

BETTWSYCOED URBAN DISTRICT…
BETTWSYCOED URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL. RAILWAY COMPANY AND HACKNEY CARRI- AGE LICENCES. The monthly meeting of the above Council was held on Friday evening, Mr Robert Parry presiding. There were also present: Messrs John Hughes (vice-chairman), R. Parry, J.P. (Pen- dyffryn), R. Rawlinson, J. P. Faichnev, John Hughes, and Henry Williams, together with Mr R. R. Owen (clerk). FINANCE. Mr Rawlinson reported that the bills presented for payment amounted to L-Ir) 16s 4<1, the settle- ment of which would leave a balance to the credit of the Council of M67 8s. The Collector reported that he had collected the following sums :—District rates, £ 199 5s 4d; water rate, JE16 12s; a total of J3215 17s 4d. The re- coverable arrears were:—District rate, J5121 6s lid; water rate, £ 7 178 7d; or a total of -0129 4s 6d. ELECTRIC LIGHT. Mr Robert Parry, by permission of the Coun- cil, withdrew his notice of motion in favour of acquiring electric light plant for the village. THE RAILWAY COMPANY AND HACKNEY CARRIAGE LICENCES. Mr J. P. Faichney drew attention to the fact that it had been the practice of the Railway Company and the Council to grant licences for hackney carriages about the beginning of the summer season. Recently, however, the Railway Company had served a notice on the holders that the licences must be paid for by the begin- ning of January in future, the company had been in the habit of granting licences to outsiders as well as boria,-fide ratepayers of the parish of Bettwsyooed to use the premises in front of the station. This was a hardship as the local owners had already sustained serious Iocs, through motor- car and charabanc traffic. The licences should be confined to local ratepayers, as many of them depended entirely on their conveyances for their livelihood. He suggested that the Clerk write to the Superintendent at Chester, suggesting the advisability of confining the granting of licences to proprietors of conveyances residing within the urban area. Mr John Hughes pointed out that one or two holders of licences who resided outside the urban area had been licence holders for many years. The motion was ultimately agreed to. MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH. Dr. Travis wrote expressing his willingness to accept the appointment of medical officer of health for the district, at an annual salary of LIO. On the motion of Mr Faichney, seoonded by Mr R. Parry, it was decided to appoint Dr. Travis to the position for the year ending Sep- tember 29th, 1909. WATER SUPPLY. A letter was read from the Local Government Board inquiring what stePR the Council had taken to provide the village with an adequate water supply. The Clerk was instructed to reply that the Council was negotiating with the proprietors of the Glynn land with a view to providing a suffi- cient supply. UNIVERSITY COLLEGE. Mr Henry Roberts was re-appointed to repre- sent the Council as governor of the University College, Bangor. VITAL STATISTICS. Dr. Travis reported that two births had taken place during the last month, but no deaths.
WOUNDS AND SORES COVERED BY…
WOUNDS AND SORES COVERED BY FRESH SKIN. A REMARKABLE HOME REMEDY. The home method of effectively healing wounds and sores by driving out poisonous germs and growing new, healthy skin dates from the discovery of Zam-Buk, the now well-known skin- cu^*e and first-aid. A box of this wonderful preparation always kept handy saves doctors' bills and domestic worry. The story of how the proprietors wore led to seek for and obtain such a perfect healing balm is very interesting. In the first place, it was recognised that mod- ern ointments, salves, and liniments lose in effi- ciency because of the rancid animal fats and mineral poisons entering into their composition. Such ingredients are too coarse to do the aver- age skin any good at all, and their makers do not dare to recommend them for actual skin disease, while some are entirely unsuitable for use on the human skin. From the outset, there- fore, cheap, doubtful, or unnatural ingredients were carefully avoided in the search after the ideal preparation. The splendid athletes of Ancient Greece and the gladiators of Rome regularly used healing oils and balms which were brefrared from pure medicinal herbs, and this indicated the direc- tion in which the ideal skin-cure was likely to be found. Certain rare plants and herbs were therefore taken, and from these were extracted pure gums and juices, possessing the various medicinal pro- perties necessary to make up a perfect skin- healer. The correct combination and concentra- tion of these essences were only secured after lengthy experiment, but when the substance now called Zam-buk was finally perfected and pat upon the market, a hearty reception every- where greeted the new and wonderful balm. Zam-buk is accurately described as the last word of science in the treatment of skin diseases and wounds. It displaces once and for all the coarse and- nasty ointments that have sufficed in the past, but which to-day have lost favour with the intelligent public. Zam-buk is an entirely now idea-a scientific discovery, and a boon to husband, wife, or mother—and is ab- solutely free from the rancid animal fats and mineral irritants of cheap salves. Zam-buk, by reason of its purity and refine- ment, pets to the root of eczema, ringworm, and obstinate sores. On being smeareci on an affected place, it gets absorbed through the pores or minute "breathing holes" in the skin, and promotes the soundness of the underlying tissues. The regular use of Zam-buk at this season is the genuine cure for chaps and cold- sores, as well as for piles, bad legs, festering wounds, eczema, etc. Every chemist keeps Zam- buk in Is Hd, 2s 9d, or 4s 6d boxos (4s 6d size contains twice the 2a 9d).

COLWYN BAY NURSING ASSOCIATION.
COLWYN BAY NURSING ASSOCIATION. ANOTHER SATISFACTORY REPORT, ELECTION OF OFFICERS. Tho fifth annual meeting cf the Colwyn Bay Dis- trict Nursing Association was held in the Council Chambers, on Monday afternoon. There was a good attendance, representative of the various re- ligious denominations of the town, presided over by Mr T. E. Purdy. Letters regretting inability to be present were received from Mrs Charlton Jones, Mrs M. J. Lewis, and Miss Johns, Merton (hon. treasurer). The committee's report as follows was then read by the Chairman :— This year has been marked by a visit from Miss Amy Hughes, the general superintendent of the Queen Victoria Jubilee Institute, Loudon. Miss Hughes gave a most interesting address on the general work of the institute, school nursing, and the training of midlives. Mias Hughes expressed great satisfaction with the work of the Association in Colwyn Bay. The reports of Miss Smith, the inspector for Wales, have been thoroughly satisfactory during the past twelve months. It is also satisfactory to learn that the nurse's report shows a considerable increase in the number of cases she has been able to attend during the year. Many of these have necessi- tated a considerable amount of very trying work. The committee are pleased at the very noticeable increase in the working cf the Association on the provident basis, while the interests of the very poor, who are unable to make any payment, are still guarded. The income for the year from the Nurse's Club and patients, who are able to contribute towards the funds of the Association being £ 21 lis 5d, as against Ell 9s of the pre- vious year. Special thanks are due to Mrs Mould and Mrs Ashby for the sum of jE20, part of the proceeds erf a most successful entertainment arranged by them last April. Particular men- tion must also be made of the following kind donations £ 2 4s 6d, proceeds of children's fancy dress dance given by Mrs Brigg and Miss Edgar; Mrs Gifford, JB2; Colwyn Bay Football Club, 93 10s; and the Co-operative Society, 21 Is. This help is specially appreciated, as without it the balance at the close of the year would have been on the wrong side. The work of the Association in Colwyn Bay increases rapidly, and therefore it is earnestly asked that all will show their appreciation of this good work by more generous support. The comfort of such an in- stitution, and the important work it does in the town, may claim for it the hearty support, which it most surely deserves. In closing their report the committee wish to express their regret at the resignation of Mrs Gamble, Mrs Roger- Edwards, and Mr Purdy. Mrs Gamble and Mrs Roger-Edwands have belonged to th committee since the Association was first founded, and have been two of its most helpful members. The hearty thanks of the committee are due to Mrs Gamble, Mrs Roger-Edwards, and Mr Purdy for all their kind assistanoe. The account of the year's receipts and expenditure shows the income to be L153 7a 6d, and the payments £ 128 16s 3d, thus leaving a balance at the bank on September 30th of JE24 lis 3d." The nurse's report, given in conjunction with that of the committee, showed that the number of cases attended during the year totalled 213, made up as follows: Men 39, women 94, children 80. Of these 97 were medical and 116 surgical. Recoveries numbered 159, deaths 28, transferred to hospital leaving a number at present on the books of 18. Doctors sent 97 cases, and friends 116. Parish relief had been given in 18 cases, whilst a total of 4801 visits had been made during the year. Rev. Dr. H. T. Cousins moved the adoption of the report, which he thought was very satis- factory, having regard for the fact that they had a balance to the good. Dr. J. Lloyd Owen seconded, and the motion was carried. The Chairman said that at this juncture he would like to say how grateful the committee were for all the assistance that had been given. In the first place they would mention the col- lectors who had been instrumental in collecting subscriptions and donations; a thankless under- taking at the best of times. The subscribers and donors should also be thanked for the useful goods which had been given on different occasions. At the same time they had to regret the loss of Mrs Roger-Edwards and Mrs Gamble, who were retiring for the time being. He trusted that both would be re-instated. With regard to the work of the nurse, it might be said without any flattery that she had done her work worthily arid well (hear, hear). She had made 4801 visits which was something to accomplish in twelve months. The year's list had been a very heavy one, and included a number of serious cases, There were a number of cases of cancer which required such a great deal of attention, and this year there were 52 more ordinary cases than last. BALANCE SHEET. The Chairman, next presented the balance sheet, which showed a balance to the Association's credit of JB24 lis 3d. The receipts included: Balance from 1907, B15 16a lid; subscriptions, J674 138 2d; donations, L45 9s 8d; subscription from Nurse's Club, L14 5s 3d; Law Accident In- surance Co,, £3; and bank interest, 2s 6d. The total expenditure amounted to JE128 16s 3d, leaving the balance stated. The sinking fund showed a balance in hand of E85 2s 2d. Rev. Peter Jones moved, and Miss Ayles seconded, the adoption of the balance sheet, and the motion was carried unanimously. Mrs Reynolds said she feared they would not have the kind donation this year of JB20 from the children's concert. Without) that assistance the present year would have closed with an ad- verse balance. The Chairman said that no doubt they were indebted to Mrs Mould and Mrs Ashby, and without their practical sympathy they could not have congratulated themselves upon the balance that day. He was sure, however, that whatever debt that Association contracted would be met. He was equally sure the committee would not spend the money foolishly. Reference was made to the fact that several chapels had announced that the proceeds of their harvest festivals would be handed over to the Association, but it was pointed out that the secretary had not yet received any of the money. As a result of the kindly efforts of the Rev. Peter Jones, Welsh Baptist pastor, however, his Sunday School children had contributed 13s 6d. ELECTION OF OFFICERS.

Cousins, and carried unanimously. -I!
