NOTES OF THE WEEK. After Colonel Roberts's eloquent plea for the poor oonsumptives of the county, it was not surprising to find that the Pembrokeshire County Council yester- day adopted by a decisive majority the county scheme presented by the Public Health Committee. Colonel Roberts's speech was carefully prepared, and was delivered with an intensity of conviction and a skilful marshalling of facts and probabilities that could not fail to impress any public body. The speaker was obviously actuated by the noblest and purest motives, and his appeal to the council not to hand over its trust to a large and composite body like the Welsh Memorial Association, over which PembrokeshiFi3 wouJd- exercise no effective control, achieved the purpose for which it was designed. The result was that the Council decided to have no part or lot with the Memorial Association and to provide for its own sufferers in its own way. This decision ends a long controversy, and the County Public Health Committee mqst now set about the tctfili of giving practioal shape to its own nebulous scheme, < That scheme was subjected to a masterly analysis by Alderman E. D. Jones, who spoke out of the fulness of great business knowledge and experience. Mr Jones brought forward the damaging criticism that a scheme submitted by the County Health Committee as recently as May last calculated on an expenditure out of the county rates of a sum of t550 a year, which sum was to be regarded as an outside figure. Now the Committee estimate an expendi- ture out of the county rates of £1,151, exclusive of a j hypothetical grant of X230 from local Boards of j Guaudians, which also, if granted, must come out of the local rates. Then, again, the salary to be paid the new tuberculosis officer, who is also to act as an assistant to Dr. Il. O. Williams, is probably also under-estimated, because it is essential to engage none but specialists in their own line. It is certain that members who voted against joining the Welsh Memorial Association did so out of an apprehension that they might otherwise be committing them- selves to a large and uncertain expenditure, and that having once committed themselves to it, they would be unable to retrace their steps. But in any case the expenditure is uncertain. Of course if the county can produce a more efficient scheme than the Memorial Association all good and well. Even if it cpsts more money no one would in that case object; but it is highly improbable that their scheme will be both mpre efficient and more economical than a scheme to which all the other Welsh counties and County Boroughs are parties. Col. Roberts asked the Council to believe that all the other Welsli counties had betrayed their trust to their own people and that they had parted with their own liberties and rights. Is that a reasonable supposition ? Why should they take a step which must prove fatal to their own interests? If the Welsh Counties and the County Boroughs decided, as they have decided, to join the Welsh Memorial in working a united scheme, their action can only be construed in the light that they considered their own local interests would best be served by adopting such a course. And is it more likely that 12 counties should be m is- taken in their views than one ? Mr E. D. Jones did right to raise these questions, and reflections like these give rise to an ijneasy feeling that after all the Pembrokeshire County Council may have committed itself to a disastrous course. The imputation against the Welsh Memorial Association of desiring to bring undue influence and pressure oa the Pembrokeshire Authority, was surely a little anworthy of the advocates of a county scheme. The anxiety of the Association to secure the co-operation of Pembrokeshire, was compared to the well-known story of the spider and the liy. "Walk into my parlour," was, it was suggested, the prelim- inary to estinguishing the individuality and freedom of the County Council. But the Pembrokeshire County Council were far too astute to ba entrapped ) by such blandishments. Now there has been an unquestionable desire on the part of the Memorial Association to secure the co-operation of this county, not, we believe, in order to bleed it, but to ensure the national character of the Association. Perhaps this is only a matter of sentiment on the part of Welsh Nationalists, but a united "Wales in combating the spread of a serious disease is far from an unworthy ideal. As to the alleged failure of the Memorial Association in discharging uncuicu patients, we must remember the great difficulties inseparable from the initial stages of working a great scheme. That the treatment has hitherto been partial and incomplete is admitted, but could Pembrokeshire have put into operation during the short time at their disposal a more satisfactory and efficient scheme ? The County Education Committee must be con- gratulated on its efforts to improve the position and prospects of its teachers. It is undeniable that the claims on the ratepayers are very heavy, and with an elementary education rate of Is lAd in the £ the County Teachers Association appreciate the desireof the Authority to meet; them half-way. Had Pem- brokeshire an education rate of 9J in the I like Carmarthen and receiving double the amount per child in Government grants like our very fortunate neighbours, there can be no doubt that the full demands cf the teachers would be readily conceded. We hope the new Education Bill will do justice to the sorely burdened ratepayers of Pembrokeshire and then the teachers will have a claim to a salary commensurate with their responsible duties. Hev. Henry Evans put in a plea on behalf of this element in the profession, describing the salaries paid to certificated class teachers as inadequate and those paid to the uncertificated and the supplementary teachers as disgraceful. Mr Evans's protest does him credit. The supplementary teacher, as he said, if engaged at all should be paid a living wage. They are efficient for the purposes for which they are engaged, other- wise the ifuthority stands self-condemned. And as to the other teachers they arc entitled to a salary which will enable them to marry and settle down. Mr Whicher assured the Committee that the supple- mentary teachers would be dealt with on their merits, and as to the other classes of teachers we hope their claims will be met as soon as the county receives more liberal Government grants.

HaveHfardgyest Cymric Society. SUCCESSFUL INAUGURAL MEETING. L'tst Friday evening a meeting was held at the Lower Temperance Hall, Haverfordwest, for the purpose of forming a Cymric Society for the town. The ball was packed to ovei crowding. Amoug tho audience was a good sprinkling of English friends while many prominent townsmen showed their sympathy with the movement by their attendance. Mr II. E. II. James, Director of Education, presided over the proceedings which were thoroughly Cymric* in their character and in the enthusiasm manifested. The Chairman delivered a reasoned aad convincing address on the right of small nations to maintain their own identity and the part small nations had played in the history of the world. He said the Jews had given the Western^world its religion, Greece its conception of philosophy and art, Denmark ideas of practical co-operation and the Welsh nation had its message of idealism to contribute to the progress of humanity. The entnusiasm of the meeting was roused to a high pitch when Mr G. J. Griffith, of the liarn Street Council School, in the course of his speech dwelt on the objects of the society. lie emphasised the duty of Welshmen to hand down to future genera- tions untarnished and undeflled the splendid heritage which had been preserved for them in the form of their language, literature and distinctive characteris- tics by the sufferings and the blood of their ancestors. The Rev. E. Nicholson Jones then addressed the meeting in his characteristic style, and quoted the Finns as a small nationality which had once been on the verge of extinction and which had in spite of pressure from both Russia and Sweden emancipated itself and was now after a short period of develop- ment on national liues a pattern and model in many respects to bigger nations. What Finland had done he was confident Wales could do and he appealed to the Welsh people of Haverfordwest to endeavour to place their ancient town once more in the forefront of Welsh national life. Mr Jones also gawe a dramatic rendering of "1 Bias Gogerddan." As the well-known words of this song were written by Ceiriog it was most appropriate that the famous poet's daughter, Mrs David Evans, Delia CeirioJ," should accompany the singer. A feature of the evening was the playing of the Welsh Triple Harp by Mme Davies cf Molleston. Another novelty for Haverfordwest was the "penillion" singing of Mr J. Reynolds, "Rheinallt," St. Clears, who is doing so much in West Wales to popularise this all but lost old Welsh accomplish- ment. He was in splendid voice and his contribu- tions created quite a furore. Welsh songs were contributed by Miss E. Jones, Cambrian Place, Miss Mary Williams, Slade (in Welsh costume), Mr Eddie Jones, Cartlett, and Mr D. R. Jones, L.C. & M. Bank, while Mr Richie Daviee gave a humorous and appropriate recitation in English. Mr Vincent Davies took the solo in the Welsh National Anthem which was rendered with fine Welsh hwyl." On the motion of the Chairman, seconded by the Rev. J. S. Jones, it was unanimously decided to form a Cymric Society for the town. On the vote of thanks to those taking part, Mr D. J. Lloyd, Com- merce House, Mr D. Evans, Cartlett, and the Rev. U. Evans, Llangwm, expressed great satisfaction with the success of the meeting, and wished the Society God-speed." The arrangements were in the capable bands of the secretaries, Messrs T. Bleddyn and G. J Griffith. Many members were enrolled. The hall had been dccorated very effectively under the superintendence of Mr Bleddyn. The thanks of the Society are due to Miss Devereux for so ably accompanying the singers. It is intended shortly to call another general meeting to settle details and to arrange for the St. David's Day celebration.

Prendergast Parish Tea and Entertainment. The Prendergast annual parish tea and entertain- ment is one of the most popular of social functions in Haverfordwest, and the gathering held in the Masonic Hall on Thursday lost none of its old popularity. The secretarial duties were carried out by Mr W. Thomas, while, as usual, the arrange- ment for the entertainment were left in the capable hands of Mrs David Evans, Old Bridge, who was responsible for one of the best and most enjoyable entertainments that has ever been given locally. The tea tables were presided over by the follow- ing :-iNIrs Raynes, Mrs Tamlin, Mrs Carrow, Mrs J. O. Morgan, Mrs J. II. White, and Mrs W. Evans, who were assisted by the Misses L. Morgan. Lily Thomas, Ethel Morgan, Lily Harding, Edith Evans (Hermitage). Beattie White, Lily Phillips, Katie James, Daisy Harries and Nelly Morgan. The arrangements for the tea were under the manage- ment of Mrs Langford, assisted bv Mrs W. Thomas, Mrs James Morgan, Mrs G. Edwards, lUrs Ray, Mrs Rodney, Mrs James John, Mrs Howard Morgans and Mrs Fonsechar. Others giving valuable heip were Messrs F. Langford, W. Thomas, J. 11. White, T. Rodney, W. James, S. Philpin, J. Rodney, James John, A. H. Raynes and W. Evans. The Hall was crowded for the entertainment, when the following programme was rendered:— I art 1. 1 lano uuett, Misses Amy Jones and Norali Farrow; song, Take me home," Mr Sydney Hill violin solo, Miss M. Samson recitation, "'Queen Katherine s speech," Miss Madge Llewellin song, "Pack clouds away, Ifiss Sampson; action song, The Rainbow," Pupils of Hill House College song, Land of dunno where," Miss Evelyn Powell; song, "Thora," Mr J. Thomas; song, "Down the vale," Miss Hancock. Part II. — Mandoliue solo, Mr Francis action song, Mushroom Prince." Pupils of Hill House College; dance, Highland Fling," Miss Dorothy Llewellin; action song, The sailor boy," Miss Williams's pupils, Dew Street School; song, Home," Miss Hancock action song, "Histori- cal Pageant, Pupils of Hill House College soug, The trumpeter," Mr W. J. Morris; recitation, Mr Lawrence; song, Young Tom of Devon," Mr Langford. God Save the King. Almost every item was encored. Miss M. Samson, who was accompanied on the piano by her sister, gave a very clever violin performance Miss Madge Llewellin showed considerable dramatic ability in her rendering of the recitation Queen Katherine's Speech"; while the youngest pupils of Hill House College were rapturously applauded for their novelty "The rainbow." Mks Evelyn Powell in "Land of Duuno Where showed herself to he a promising young vocalist. Mr J. Thomas, Mr Sidney Hill, and Miss Hancock all created a pleasing impression with their solos. Mr W. 15. Francis, a popular local instrumentalist, opened the second part of the pro- gramme with a mandoline sold. Another enjovahle feature was the historical pageant of Hill House College, and auother very popular item was the aotion song rendered by Miss Williams's pupils at the Dew Street Infants' School. Miss Amy Jones, L.R. A.M., was the accompanist. During an interval the rector, the Rev. Gwilvm Smith, congratulated the parishoners upon such a pleasant gathering as they had that evening. He remarked that he came from the parish of St. Gabriel, Swansea, which prided itself, and justly, on being the best church in Swansea in connection with social entertainments. He said honestly that St. Gabriel's had everything to learn and Prendergast nothing, jifrom any church in Swansea, so far as social gatherings were concerned. (Applause). He was pleased to see so many adult parishoners present. They had struck the right note. He had known some" sQcial" gatherings as most unsociable but that eveniug they were absolutely sociable one towards the other. It was a family gathering of members in one bond of unity. On 'his own behalf and of the parishoners he desired to tender sincere thanks to all who had taken part, first to the ladies who had assisted at the tea. The men had kept pace with the ladies under the gallant lead of Mr W. Thomas, the secretary. (Applause). In connection with the entertainment the best tribute he could give was that which was told to him that if the pro- gramme was entrusted to Mrs David Evans he need have no fear, as they knew what to expect from that (juarter. (Applause). His audience would agree with him that high as that standard had been in the past it had been excelled on the present occasion. (Applause). He thanked the artistes for their valued services, especially mentioning the accom- panist, Miss Amy Jones, also Mr Beer, who afforded them so much pleasure during tea with his grama- phone. (Applause). The proceedings ended with a dance.
