A motor-ambu- lance unit is now on service with the Belgian Army, and a special appeal is made for limp- ing forward tlfe work in hospitals immedi- ately behind t/he firing line, where proper emergency treatment is invaluable in savings many lives. Other features of the work are the provision of training and employment homes for the disabled, the supply of artificial limbs, and the care of wounded on leaving hospital. There is 110 other representative organisation which assists the sick, wounded, and crippled soldiers of all the Allies.

Personal.-We are very glad to see among us once again a true and faithful friend of Barmouth, viz., Miss Eleanor Myatt. Ever since Miss Wyatt and her sister lived in the town, there is no place where she delights to spend her holi- days in as much as at Barmbuth. For many years Miss Wyatt has lived with Miss Hamelton, who is one of the best known Toy Pomeranian fanciers in the country, and who keeps a large num ber of valuable pet dogs which have carried off some of the most coveted prizes in the principal shows. Miss Wyatt, who is now staying at Brynteg, is accom- panied by a valuable stud Pomeranian. People who repeatedly re-visit our town confer great benefit upon the place by recommending it to their friends as an ideal holiday resort. An Appeal to Parents.— An appeal, signed by the Rev. E. J. Parry, president at the Free Church Council the Rev. Jones, vice-president; Mr Richard Davies, secretary; Rev. Gwynoro Davies, and Mr Joseph Thomas, has been circu- lated, and which was as follow0 In view of continuous complaints of the disorderly conduct of some children in the town, especially at nights, a kindly appeal to parents and all concerned is being made, to see that every child is kept indoors within proper hours. It is observed that children ate being allowed to remain on the streets during late hours. This increasing custom involves a great danger :—1. To the health and physical progress of the children. 2. To their moral welfare, and the formation of a clean character, during a vitally important period of their life. 3. To the instructions and discipline of home life which is most essential to the future welfare of our Nation." Art Pictures,—The management of the above have booked for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, October 14tb, 15th and 16th, a film of great interest to all, viz., The Visit of the Hero King Albert of Belgium to the French Army. In this film very many soul-stirring episodes in the visit of the Hero King are depicted. Words fail us in epito- mising bis noble bearings and whole- hearted disposition towards the fighting forces of the Allies, but the Cinemato- graph in this, as in many other causes, more than adequately fills the breach. Tbroneless but ardent in his desire to crush the Militarism of the Bosches; the film represents many interesting side- lights in the daily walks of this Noble Monarch. Amongst other interesting items are shown the following:—The presentation of Colours to the 3rd Moroccan Brigade by the President of France- King Albert, General Joffre and Prosident Poincare-The King re- receiving Military Attaches of Great Britain, France, Italy, Russia, Serbia and Japan—The King investing French Officers with the Order of Leopold-A review of the fighting forces of France- Infantry-The Famous 75's that are beating the Germans—Dashing French Cavalry. A visit to the Aviation Camp —The King rewarding railway men who did wonderful work during the re- treat from Belgium, The Coronation Band,-The annual meeting of the above Band was held on Tuesday evening at the St. David's Church Room, when the majority of the Committee and Bandsmen were present. In the absence of Mr D. E. Davies (the president of the Band) who bad been called away during the day, the chair was taken by Mr D. Roberts, N.P. Bank. The first item on the agenda was the report of the Treasurer (Mr Rees Jones) who reported that during the past week the outstanding balance at the bank amounting to £3 14s. 8d., bad been wiped off, and the guarantee bond was burnt in the presence of all, amid great rejoicing, some taking advantage of the conflagration to light their pipes and enjoy the fagrant weed. It was further announced that the funds of the Band had benefitted to the extent of £ 17 4s. lOd. as the result of the summer season. The Band had appeared in different parts of the town on thirty occasions- twice a week on an average, and the playing h^d been greatly appreciated. The attendance of the bandsmen bad been most gratifying, 8 members having 30 appearances to their credit 2 mem- bers had 29 and the rest averaging 20. -On the proposition of Mr J. Jones, The Library, seconded by Mr R. Crabbe, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded to Mr W. E. Williams, the bandmaster,and be was complimented on the progress of the band since his appointment twelve months ogo. Mr Johnny Jones further wished to associate the bandsmen them- selves (as apart from the Committee) in the vote of thanks, and same was unani- mously passed.—On the proposition of Mr Owen Williams, Aelydon, seconded by Inspector J. Price, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded to Mr J, R. Thomas, the secretary.—After paying all expenses the sum of R12 13s. Od. was allocated by the Committee for distribution amongst the bandsmen in accordance with the respective attendance of each. -Mr J. Jones, The Library, in compli- menting the Band, spoke eloquently as to the need of uniform, that the smart- ness of a band was very much enchanced by a suitable uniform, :and no doubt this matter will be given consideration in the near future.—Another matter that came forward for consideration was the provision of a suitable band- stand for next season, and it is hoped that the Council, in conjunction with the Band Committee, will remedy this defect before next season.—It was de- cided that a letter of thanks should be sent to the Rector (the Rev. R. Lloyd Roberts, M.A.) for his great kindness in allowing the band having the use of the Church Room, free of charge, and trusting that the same generosity will be extended again for the coming winter's practice.—The following officers and committee were re-elected ;—Presi- dent, Mr D. E. Davies treasurer, Mr Rees Jones secretary, Mr J. R Thomas; also the Rev. P. H. Lewis, F.T S.C Mr Owen Williams, Mr J. Jones, The Library Mr Rbys JonjBs, Mr David 0. Hughes, Mr D. Roberts, N.P. Bank; and Inspector Price. In addition, Mr Robert Griffith and Mr Owen ^Parry.—The following were appointed Trustees Mr David Roberts, Mr Rhys Jones, in addition to the Chairman, Treasurer, and Secretary. —The Musical Committee will be the Chairman, Treasurer, Secre- tary, Conductor, Rev. P. H. Lewis, Mr Owen Williams, and Inspector Price- The annual meeting will in future be held in September of each year.—It being intimated that :Mr David Thomas Davies, one of the solo cornets, was leaving to join the Army, a most cor- dial vote of thanks was accorded him for the services he bad rendered. Mr Davies bad been one of the most faith, ful members, and they much regretted to lose him,and his place will be hard tofill, we cannot but admire the way in which be, as well as others, have answered the call of their King and Country.— Mr J. Jones, who is organisingtbe move- ment of a Boy Scout Troop in the town, made an application that the Band should play on the occasion of Friday night's meeting and same was granted. A vote of thanks to the Chairman, and a selection by the Band terminated the j proceedings. t
