The reason," said Colonel Mainwaring, I for this was to be found in the fact that in the churches in every district and village the soldier was maligned and represented as a drunkard and foul-mouthed licentious man." There is an old adage that the biggest drinkers are the best fighters, but we are loth to believe that Tommy Atkins is as bad as he is painted. Nor do we think that the men who have joined will fail to uphold the glorious traditions of this grand regi- ment. Still we should be better pleased if its ranks were more representative of gallant little Wales. t')

Caerhun. Oddfellowsbip.-The annual club-walk of the Rhun Lodge of Oddfellows, M.U., took place on Saturday afternoon. The procession started from Talycafn at 2-30, headed by the St. Tudno Silver Band, of Llandudno, and made a complete peram- bulation of the entire district, including Ty'nygroes, Talybont, Roewen, and Llanbedr. The collections came to the handsome total of Cio ios., which, with another £ 2 promised, will greatly help the Management Fund of this flourishing young lodge. At the Vicarage, Mr Roberts, the Vicar, gave a short congratulatory address in Welsh. The day was fine, and right well did the members enjoy the excellent dinner provided for them by Mr Reader at the Ty'nygroes Hotel, after their long and ti-ring march. Four new members were made, and the whole record of the Lodge since its in auguration reflects great credit on the hardworking and indefatigable secretary, Mr Isaac Jones, of Cefn, Llanbedr. Mr Jones is a candidate for the position of clerk to the Caerhun Parish Council, and if elected will no doubt bring the same energy and ability to bear on those duties as he does in Oddfellowship.

The Chairman observed that he thought it should be known, to the ratepayers at large that they were involved' in debt because the ratepay- ers did not pay their rates. The Council had to pay, and the ratepayers did not, and that was one Teason why they were so anxious that the ratepayers would pay them. The money was due as soon as the rate was made, because the Council had to pay tlbem. (Committee Work. The General Purposes Committee reported in reference to the hospital, and' recommended that reply be made to the letter from the Local Gov- ernment Board in the terms proposed in the committee. This was approved. In regard! to the draft easement for a sewer in the railway embankment, the committee recom- mended that the railway company's application be granted.

H. 'Ic.Clemen,t's tender for the team work for the year be accepted. Some opposition, was offered to this on the part of Mr David Jones a;nfd Mr R. D.

Rejoicing that the ad- vent of peace brightens and hallows the nation- al festival. We pray that your Majesty during a long and 'glorious reign may heniceforw,ar(T, have constant experience- to the truth: by the great Puritan poet when he wrote that 'Peace hath her victories not less renowned than war.' Feeling as we do, with. all British subjects, profound gratitude for the magnificent record of national progress inscribed on the annals of your illustrious mother'.s splendid reign, we trust it may be your Majesty's happy destiny not only to watch the fruition of the harvest sown by her but also to lead the people of your world-wid'e empire onward towards that King- dom of God, which will be the perfect common- wealth of man." (Hear, hear). Mr iII. Kn-eeshaw seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. A Porter's Application. Mr Thomas Owen applied for a town porter's licence. The Chairman asked whether they had power to grant such licences. Mr Owen, who waited upon the Council, said' he would be pleased to read tihe Council's bye- laws on the matter. The Clerk having expressed the opinion that the Council were so empowered, The Chairman moved that the matter be re- ferred to committee for consideration. This was approved. Correspondence. The Carnarvonshire County Council wrote concerning a letter forwarded' them by Mr Worrall, the surveyor, in which they complained that 'Mr Worrall was not correct in his facts. The matter was referred to the Council in com- mittee for consideration. Sunday Services on the Promenade. THE CHAIRMAN'S OBJECTIONS. An application was made on behalf of the Children's Special Service Mission for per- mission to hold services on the promenade on Sundays during the season. The Chairman said he had his doubts about those things. It seemed to him to be unde- sirable to obtrude those services in that way- whether people wanted them or not. When peo- ple came to Penmaenmawr for their health they did not expect to hear preaching on the beach- at least a great many of them did not—but they must listen whether they wanted it cr not, be- cause it was within the hearing of everybody along their comparatively small promenade. He was not at all sure that it was a healthy thing for children, to have their minds stimulated and! their consciences upset every day in the week. They came there for the health of their bodies. more than the health of their minds. He could! not help thinking that the morbid kind of stimu- lous so administered to the emotions and consci- ences of children interfered with their health. He did not like to preside there with the idea that he entirely sympathised with it. It was not for him; it was for the Council. It was decided to set aside a portion of the I promen.ade to be used for the services, but that no pamphlets would be allowed to he d5tn? bu-ted. The Promenade nearly Finished. The Surv-eyof reported that the work on the promenade during the past month had kept pace with the delivery -of the- stone from the, quarries' which for some time had retarded quick pro- gr-ess. There was now little more required, and they would probably be able to complete the work, as had been expected early this month. .7 The features of the work which had from time to time been described were, he believed, known to all the members of the Council, and needed1 no detailed description from him again. The payments to date were In wages and material, £ ? 3^ j plant, £ 766 17s id making a total'ovl€a7 +to date of ~4>54i 15s 4^- The rel,,ort was ado pted.

Mr Jordan Bala was for the plaintiff, and Mr Davies (Jones and Davies) of Festiniog, for the defendant. This was a claim for £ 2 6s nd on account of balance of wages and other expenses, including erection of a wall, &c, due to the plaintiff.

Mr Davies, whose client had entered a counter- claim for Cio for breach of contract, said that the work done was not satisfactory. Further questioned as to signing papers, plaintiff stated he only signed for wages. At this point Mr Davies handed the Judge a contract, signed by plaintiff, undertaking 1 1 21 to make the level 6 feet by 6 feet 6 inches. Prior to the production of the paper, the plaintiff admitted that the size of the level as made by him was j feet by 5 feet 6 inches.
