Llandrindod Tribunal. I PROPOSED VOLUNTEER CORPS. A sitting of the Llandrindod Wells Tribunal was held at the Town Hall on Friday, when there were pro-tilt Messrs. Tom Norton (chairman). J. L. Wilding (who pre- sided), Jeffrey Jones and R. Page, with the clerk (Mr 1). C. Davies). and the National Service representative (Col. H. NV. loi-ett). 3oliii Noi-toil (38), St. David' appealed for con- ditional exemption, and he wr.s represented by Mr E. Powell Careie.ss. who stated that Mr Norton was the tractor representative for Montgomery and Cardigan. He and his brother, 1ir Tom Norton, had organised the tractor ploughing throughout, Wales, and the Food Production Department set a very high value upon their services. Mr Norton had only passed Grade 3, and he.submitted that he could not possibly engage in any national work of greater importance than that in which he was now engaged. He submitted letters in support of Air Norton's exemption from Mr John Roberts (Cardigan), 1Jr John Owen commissioner for Wale ) and the Food Production Department.—Con- ditional exemption was given.—Mr Norton did not ,sit on this appeal. Charles Ffoulkes (21).

If he were put in the Army new it wou'dbt? his death, but he was pre- pared to do any national work.—Condition exemption wa? granted, subieet to his ?ttinK wok of national importance. Proposed Volunteer corps. The chairman said the tribunal had given some con- sideration to a suggestion that a Volunteer Force should IK* established in the county, and it was a sug- "estion of which they entirely approved. They had in- structed their cleTk to writt, to the Chairman of the Territorial Association making this suggestion, and it wa., hoped all who had conditional exemption, all hoys of 17-18, and those over military age would join.

FARMERS' COLUMN.11 -
FARMERS' COLUMN. The football-field at Builth is being ploughed up. A contemporary has discovered that a slice of "juicy swede" with bread is a tudal ,sub.-titute for butter and margarine. Last week about 88 acres were ploughed by trac- I or., in Breconshire, which is a record for the county since the introduction of tractors. Over 11,000 fit, pigs from Ireland were landed in this country last week, and yet we go short of bacon. More than 8,000 of these pigs were brought into Welsh ports. At Erwood market, on Thursday, prices were as fol- low:—Eggs, 3 and 4 for 1/ butter, 2/- per lb.; chic- kens, 2/ geese, 2/ Turkeys, 2/3; fowls, 1/6 per and rabbits, 1/9 each.

Mr J. E. Williams was the auctioneer at Ystradgyn- Iai. Mart last week, when live cattle and twelve sheep were sold to local butchers. A resolution was passed, asking that Ystradgynlai.s be made one of the food- distributing-centres under the new ischeme. The Food Production Department reports that a farm, belonging to Lord Treowen, is being entirely run by women. A year ago, when the women took over the place it wa. in a wry bad state, indeed. The agent now speakis. in glowing term, of the plucky way in which the women have tackled a very difficult job. Mr Nathaniel Whitmore, haulier. Tram Road Cot- tage, Glashury-on-W.ve, has sustained a heavy loss through liavi 11 g t0 have his horse shot for paralysis. Mr Whitmore has three sons serving in the Army-one in Salonica, another in France, and a .third in a labour battalion. The tractor representative in Brecon and Radnor is offering prize., for the largest acreage ploughed, tak- ing quality of work and other items into account, tween February 1st and April 1st in each of these counties. The lir-t prize is to be £ 3, the second £ 2, and the tliir, tl, to be divided between drivers and ploughmen.

Insurance Committee.
Insurance Committee. Notification of Tuberculosis. DOCTORS AND PUBLIC'S DUTY. WELSH ASSOCIATION'S COMPLAINT. The quarterly meeting of the Radnorshire Insurance Committee wa held at the County Buildings, Llan- drindod Wells, on Friday. There were present Dr. R. Harding (chairman), Mr B. P. Lewis (vice-chairman). rrs Nicholls, Miss Williams, Dr. J. Morgan Evans, Councillor J. Hamer, J. Hurst, R. Hughes and Rev. H. L. Kewlev, Messrs. E. Price, S. W. Edwards, A. D. Walters, J. J. Griffiths, W. Edwards, W. Thomas, E. Grosvenor, E. W. Hughes, J. H. Jones, R. H. Evan- and C. H. Williams, with the clerk (Mr G. W. Mose- lev). Medical Benefit. The Medical Benefit Sub-Committee presented the following report:—"Special Mileage Grant: A com- munication wa-s received from the Commissioners, stat- ing that they had approved of the grant of £ 513 being made for the year 1917, and, also, that, an extra mile- age grant, on account of war conditions, would be made. A letter was read from Dr. F. H. Parker, Llan- drindod Wells, requesting that his name should be placed on the panel for the treatment of invalided men only. As it is anticipated that a large number of invalided men will be "ent here, your committee re- commend that Dr. Parker's name be added to the list of doctor., for treatment of invalided seamen and sol- diers, subject to the special arrangement being signed by him. A letter was read from Dr. R. J. Shepherd, "ta ting that he was retiring from his practice, which would be carried on in future by Dr. William P. T. Daniel. and that both wished Dr. Shepherd'? i)anl patknts to be transferred to Dr. Daniel. Up to the present, no application had been received from Dr.  DMiet to have his name placed on the 1:??t, but your committee recommend that, if a)plkation is made by hun and the usual agreement ?igned. Dr. Shepherd's patients be transferred to him after the necessary no- tices have been sent to him." .Mr B. P. Lewis moved the Adoption of the report, raying that the special mileage grant was almost ex- actly the same as for 1916, and it. was being allocated by the medical men on the same lines. Ms W. Edwards seconded, and the report was adopted. Tuberculosis Cases. The Sanatorium Benefit Sub-Committee presented the following report:—"Your committee had under their consideration five cases. In one case the Tuberculosis Officer reported th$t the applicant was not suffering from tulverculosis, in one case the applicant had dieq. in two cases suitable treatment was recommended, and In the other case the Tuberculosis. Officer's report had not yet been received. A communication W:J.6 received from the Association of the Welsh Insurance Commit- tees, relative to the statement of the Memorial Asso- ciation that more than 60% of the cases of tuberculosis are brought to the notice of the medical officers of the Association only when the disease is in an advanced state. This communication was referred to the County M.O.H., with a suggestion that he might communicate with all medical practitioners in the county (both panel and lion-panel), calling their attention to the great im- portance of referring all cases of tuberculosis, or sus- pected tuberculosis, in the early stages to the tuber- culosis officers of the association." Mr J. Hamer moved the adoption of the report. He Mid the Memorial Association had brought rather a serious charge against some of the medical gentlemen in Wales in reference to the non-notification of tubercu- losis cases. To "IY that 60% per cent, of the cases were notified when the disease had advanced far was a verv serious statement, indeed. At the last meeting of the County Council they had an application from the Memorial Association for an increase of the rate aid from id in the £ to d in the £ and that application was acceded to, but, at the same time, it was stated that the county did not get quite an equivalent for the money paid. Now it came oub that the medical officers in the Principality did not notify the Memorial Associ- ation of the existence of cases as promptly as they "houkl do. That was very regrettable. If this terrible disease were to be put down, there was no doubt but what early notification was the chief point. They, therefore, hoped the medical men in the county of Radnor would readily fall in with any request which was made to them by the County M.O.H., and that all cases would, in future, be notified to the Memorial Assiciation representative for the county. If there were cases of neglect, it would be well for members of this committee to notify the chairman. If they kept hammerinp at this point there was no dotibt they cHntuHlIy get eH'r\hody into line. H, (Mr Ha'ner) felt quite certain that their o?;t medical nun felt quite e,,?t-t:iin their ,%ii j) Mr .1. Hurst seconded. Mr W. Thomas said that, in his experience as the secretary "f a large friendly society, he found that many people did not know that their rebtiH,s or their children were entitled to receive benefit from the Welsh National Memorial Association. If it were peixraiiy f known that dependents of insured per-ens were ent'tled to treatment, it might have the result, of securing early notification in some cases wliieh would not otherwise be promptly notified. There would then be a great chance for many children to be restored to health. Many people had a dread in admitting that there was tuberculosis. That was a very natural feeling. People liked to think they had not got it, aiui they sometimes persuaded themselves that was the case when it was net really so. Many also thought their children would be taken from them and sent to a sanatorium. He had done his be-t to combat that idea, and to assure people that when these, causes were taken in time an,1 proper treatment given, there wcukl be no necessity for sanatorium treatment. Mr C. H. Williams said the report they had had that day was a wrv serious one, indeed. Medical men should notify these cases when they came to their knowledge. It was no use to pay a rate of d in the £ unless they followed the work up, as desired by the National Memorial Association. No doubt there had been deaths in the county through neglect. All the doctors were not to blame, but there were certain doc- tors who were nut doing their duty in notifying the cases as promptly as they should do. It v-a, to be hoped that. for the sake of the county, those men would do their (Itity in the future. Mr B. P. Lewis said he was glad that this important question had been ventilated. With an increase in the rate for this purpose, they would certainly expect that more attention would he paid to Radnorshire. He did not make, any charge against- the National Memorial Association, but it was a well-kown fact that in the past they had not received the attention that they should ha\e had. The report presented that day show- ed how important it was that there should be early notification of these eases. It was (stated that less than 40% of eases notified to the Memorial Association were what could be called early, cases, and that .some medical practitioners never sent in cases. That was a very serious charge, a.nd it was made by the Secre- tary of the Memorial Association. It meant that some people had been allowed to die for lack of proper at- tention, and he hoped that it would not be possible to ma ke such a charge in the future. The chairman said he hoped that all doctors would not be judged by what had been said. He could as- sure them that moral responsibility in this matter was recognised very largely by the profession ,The great aim and object of the profession was to save human life, and it was almost inconceivable that any practi- tioner would neglect to take advantage cf every help he could obtain in the early stages of this disease. They should differentiate between moral and legal re- sponsibility'. but there was a legal, a statutory obli- gation on every medical man to report to the County M.O.H. every case of tuberculosis which came under his notice. On receiving these notifications, it was the diitn- (-,f the County M.O.H. to communicate them to thoofficers of the" Welsh National Memorial Associa- tion. If. however, he did not receive the notifications, lit) could not. of course, send them. He was glad that Mr Thomas had called attention to the fac-t that de- pendents of insured persons were entitled to the bene- fits offered by the National Memorial Association. That was not so widely known as it should be. Proceeding, the chairman gavi an illustration to show that i1; was not necessarily local medical men who were to l.la'rv for the non-reporting of tuberculosis cases, and h- warned members of the committee agai_ nst jumping to conclusions that they were always n, mell who were at fault in this matter. He was only too glad to do whatever he could in this matter, ard lie liol),,(i it would go forth that, he considered it was the moral duty cf every medical practiticn-r to do al1 tint he could to stamp cut this disease, and the very bes-t way was to give early notification of cases. The report was adnl:ted. The report of the Finance Committee was also adopt- ed, Oil the motion of Mr J. Hamer, seconded by Mr A. 1). Walters. Tito Clerk snd Military Service. I The chairman said it would be remembered that he was instructed to take such action :1$ he considered necess-arv with a view to securing the exemption of their clerk (.Mr G. W. Moselov) from military service. He wrote to the Minister of National Service, but. un- fort.u!1atnl', his r"p1' did not come to hand until the rasa had been dealt' with, with the result that they kr:tw. He felt that it was due to the members of the Appeal Tribunal, who were also members of that com- mittee. and also to all tbo- persons who had been associated in public work with Mr Moselev, that the letter received should be read, in order that all the.se people shpuld know the view that the Director of Na- tional Service himself took of this appeal. As lie had said, the letter was recived by him subsequent to the appeal. The letter was as follows"I am to inform you that the Director-General of Recruiting has been in consultation v-ith the National Health Insurance Com- mission regarding Mr M< seley, and instructions have been issued to the National Service representative at the Appeal Tribunal that he should not oppose the granting of exemption to Mr Moseley when th-e is heard. From information which has reached the Diree- tor-)General of Recruiting, it will appear possible that the case has already been dealt with by the Appeal Tri- bunal. and exemption allowed before the above in- structions were issued." The clerk reported that Miss Woolley, of the Pump House Hotel, had been 1\¡,pointe<.1 a member of the com- mittee in succession to Mrs C. M. Biinon, resigned.
