Our Boys—Private William Edward Jones, son of Mr and Mrs David Jones, Glenarrow, Park Road, who was wounded in France some weeks ago, arri ved home on Saturday from a mili- tary hospital. Motor Accident.—On Thursday after- noon, a little child of a visitor staying on the Marine Parade was knocked down by a motor car, close to the Rail- way Crossing. Luckily, the child only receive slight injuries. Killed in Action—News was received that Private John A. Evans, a native of this town had been killed in action, in France. PrivateEvans was well-known by many of our readers and some years ago was employed as baker for Mr D. 0. Hughes, Market Stores. The Royal Magnets,-Don't forget the complimentary benefit concert, by kind permission of Messrs Pare and Bowden, which will be given to-night {Thursday) to the members of the Royal Magnets. Book your seats early to avoid disappointment. Good News.—On Tuesday morning, Mr Thomas Griffith, Bennar Terrace, was notified by the War Office that his aon, Private Ellis Griffith, was a prisoner of war in Germany. Previous to this, the parents bad been notified that their son was, in the first instance, missing, and afterwards that he had been killed in action. He was reported missing nine months ago, and this later official information will, no doubt, be a great relief to the parents. Food Control Committee.-The newly- appointed Food Control Committee met on Tuesday night, at the Council Office. Present: Mrs Morgan, Ballymacora; Dr. J. Pugh Jones, Messrs Henry Freeman, William Owen, Rbys Jones, Reea Jones, J. Pryce Jones, Owen Edwards, Evan Griffith, and G. E. Owen—Dr. J.

The leeture-recital (given by Miss Vivian Edwards (soprano at the Church Hall to-night (Thursday) at 8.15, is in aid of the Serbia. Again onr little Ally seems destined to suffer. The Serbian Relief Fund Depot in Sftlonioa, which supplies refugees with food and clothing—hospitals units with storeb of every description, etc., has been completely destroyed in the recent great fire. We trust that the collection will be a large one, and that Miss Edwards will have our readers whole- hearted support. The evening pro- mises to be of special interest. One of the Barmouth ladies will wear a Serbian costume and the songs are delightful. The Rector (The Rev. R Lloyd Roberts, M.A.), has kindly consented to take the chair, and Mrs Heath, Tynycoed, will assist at the piano.

On Wednesday evening next September 5th, at the Pavilion, the great forbidden play 11 Ghosts" will be performed by a powerful company. Over 23 years ago Ibsen's play, Ghost, was considered so bad for the public morals of the English people that it could only be acted in private, while the plays of M. Briex, though written for the purpose of improving the morals of the French people, were considered fatal to the morals of the English public. Now, however, it appears that these plays are considered useful in helping to spread light on certain aspects of sex morality. In what way has this change come about ? The plays are the same in speech and action as the day they were written. The questions they deal with have been the same for several thousand years. Has the general moral character degenerated to each an. extent within the past 20 years that it is necessary to flood it with teaching on these subjects, or was the necessity for teaching on these subjects, in existence always, and was the publicperformanceofthese plays prevented through more stupidity ? If it was stupidity, can we be sure that when other plays, written with a pur- pose, come along, they in their turn will not be banned for a quarter of a century, and that valuable teaching in dramatic form is not held up even at the present time. Again, how is it that the Dens of Satan and the Sinks of Iniquity" are now being used to bring people together to hear this teaching if the theatre has no value as a teaching institution and is only a place of amusement? How is it that these plays are doing record business both in town and country week by week ? If the test of an experiment is the useful results obtained from it, these experiments have been successful. Memorial Serylee.-A memorial ser- vice to the late Sergeant-Instructor Alfred Strongman, Aberamffra, who died of wounds received in action, in German East Africa, was held at the English Congregational Church last Sunday evening. The Pastor (the Rev D. Phillips) preached an impressive and appropriate sermon from Lamentatious iii., 27, It is a good man that he bear the yoke in his youth," In the course of bis remarks, the preacher emphasised that the religion of Christ equips for I life as well as providing for death and therefore meets the needs of aspirations of the young as well as the necessities of the old. 1. It gives one a good start in life. Youth is the formative period I of life. It is "j-he cboosing days and the choices made affect the whole. Religion secures a firm foundation upon which to build a complete character and noble life. 2. It, helps to chasten and disci- pline life. Discipline is necessary to efficiency in all spheres of life. The whole universe is under authority and j everything is bound by law. Society ] would go to ruin without respect to law. In the realm of the soul and in the kingdom of character the want of disci- pline is fatal. To follow Christ involves self denial and sacrifice. His yoke brings passions, desires and powers i under proper control and makes for complete harmony and peace. 3. It supplies adequate power for thedemands of life. It is not merely a creed it is more than ethics. It is the power of God unto salvation, a redemptive force making for righteousness, and securing a triumphant life. 4. It inspires with confidence and hope in the ;fllture. It is good here and in the hereafter- Godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come." The Preacher applied these to the young Sergeant, who when young had joined Jubilee Road Church, and became an active member. He bad in the Army won the commendation of his superior officers by his obedient ttnd noble life. He entered the Army in the spirit of Christ and served His Lord in serving his King and Country. He was a con- scientious soldier. He has won the commendation of the Master and has now received His reward for he suffered hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ, and gave his life for that which is noble. At the close the Dead March was effectively played by Miss Ceinwen Felstead. The New Concert Vayilion.-The Concert Party at the New Concert Pavilion continue to draw large crowds every night, and a visit to the troupe easily explains their popularity. For one thing, theriHte such charming variety. There is fun and merriment sufficient to arouse smiles in the moat morose. For this are chiefly responsible Mr Bert Delmar with his droll say- ings, his clever facial contortions, his unique mannerisms and a certain spon- taneity of wit and repartee that pro- claim the real artiste Mr Jack Edwards with his smart jokes and his really good impersonations; and Miss Peggy Dallas with her unaffected gaiety, her un. doubted histrionic ability,and her charm of personality that wins her such en. thusiastic applause. Then at these concert parties there are always dainty lyrical songs very charminly rendered. For these have been chiefly responsible Miss Sims and Miss Maas. Miss Eveline Sims has a well-trained soprano voice and she sings with real reeling. Miss Hilda Maas has a rich contralto voice and her technique is particularly good. Then there is always good dan. eing. All the members of the troupe are good dancers, but the exponent of fancy dancing is Miss Dolly Anton.?Miss Anton is also a delightful rag-time singer, though she makes her dancing the chief feature of her "turns." Miss Anton is very young, and she should, we feel sure, have ia very successful future. Miss Ivy Lloyd, at the piano, shows that she has considerable musical ability. Her accompaniments are in. dicative of technical skill, while her pianoforte solos show that iibe possesses a keen appreciation of music. Throughout last week there were record bouses at the New Concert Pavilion, but on Thursday night last and on Saturday night, the Pavilion was more than usually crowded. On the Thursday evening, a beauty competition for children was anunqaalified success. Saturday evening was, we regret to say, Miss Sims's farewell night. The popu. larity she has gained during her stay in Barmouth was well testified to by the vociferous applause she received as well as by the large number of presents given her. There were several special features on Saturday night. One was the ap. I 5 pearance of the clever little Barmouth danseuse—Miss Janet Crabbe. Another was the delightful duetts sung by Miss Sims and Miss Maas—" The Battle- Eve being particularly finely ren- dered. As we remarked in our last issue, the Entertainers make a. special feature of coocerted items, and in last Saturday's concert two such items were rendered in so delightfully novel a way as to bring the bouse down." These were The Wedding Glide and The Tanks that broke the ranks in Picardy," The sketch that concluded the performance evoked un- stinted laughter—Miss Ditllas and Mr Delmar being especially entertaining. With a concert-party in Barmouth like the Entertainers" no one need find the evenings dull. Every one who visits the New Concert Pavilion will find an atmosphere of good-feeling and contentment, and this is largely due to the tactful management of the Enter- tainers manager, Mr Leslie Lewis.
