COUNTY SURVEYOR'S WIFE AND…
COUNTY SURVEYOR'S WIFE AND DAUGHTER RESCUED. On Friday afternoon, Mrs. Thomas, wife of Mr. Arlhur Thomas, the county surveyor, and her two daughters, had a narrow escape from drowning at Newgale. It appears that the two little girls were in1 bathing, accompanied by another child, named Gwyther, from Newgale. Owing to the recent heavy rains the brook which runs through the sands had becomc swollen. It had cut a deep bed in the sand, and that also caused a strong current to run seaward. Two of the children had unconsci- ously worked their way into the bed and were soon seen to be in difficulties. They, however, gained a footing and .got out, but by this time Mr. and Mrs. Thomas's other little girl had got in and was seen to be in serious difficulties in the water. Mrs. Thomas on seeing the child's struggling rushed into the sea, but fell on her face and faintijd. It is probable that both mother and child would have been drowned had it not been for Mr. Ernest Davies, Hill House Col- lege, who being a good swimmer, at once went out and after bringing Mrs. Thomas safely out went in again after the girl, who had by now disappeared. Mr. Davies was about abandon- ing all hope when he saw the child floating a few yards away. On bringing her to shore she was found to be unconscious. Artificial res- peration was applied, and with the aid of hot water bottles and hot blankets kindly supplied by the Misses Bevans, Newgale, she was even- tually brought round. We are glad to know that Mrs. Thomas and the children feel no ill effects from their memorable experiences. ———————„————————

Haverfordwest Lighting Ii Question. GAS STOKERS & THEIR WAGES. I At a special meeting of the Haverfordwest Town Council on Tuesday an application was received from the gas stokers for an increase of 3s. a week in wages. They pointed out that for a 6a days' week they received 32s. 6d. a week, whtfe the outdoor labourers received 27s. a week for a days' week. For Sunday work they were only paid 5s. 9d., or 9d. more than an ordinary day, but Mr. Gibbon had now granted them time and a half for Sun- days, which was what they received formerly. They pointed out that their work was much more arduous than that of the outdoor labourers. Councillor Gilbert Thomas moved that the j gas stokers be given an increase of 2s. a week, the same as the labourers. Councillor Sinnett was informed that the stokers received a supply of coke in addition to their wages. Councillor Rowlands said the quality of the gas supplied to the town was disgraceful. He was receiving numerous eoniplairts. It was with difficulty that people were able to cook food with the gas cookers, and in the evenings the supply was such that people were unable to read their newspapers. The question should he gone into thoroughly, so that people got better value for their money. Councillor Lloyd said an expert should be engaged to go into the gas question. They had already decided to do that as soon aS Mr. Gibbon recovered from his illness. The Mayor thought it a very opportune time to raise the question. Like Councillor Row- lands he was constantly receiving complaints. Many people used gas for power purposes, and there would be more gas engines if there were sufficient piessure. Councillor Rogers said his neighbour could not read, but after putting in a new meter everything was lovely. Aid. Thomas said lie had had a new meter and a fresh service from the mains, and still he was unable to read without the aid of a caudle. The Gas Manager explained that the low pressure was put on because of the leakage. If the lower levels were supplied at great pressure it meant a very big pressure for the upper parts of the town, and the leakage was increased. Councillor Green supported the proposal to call in an expert to go into the question thoroughly. Whatever the expense he was in favour of decent lights. The matter was referred to the Gas Com- mittee Nvitli a view to going thoroughly into the whole question. It was understood that the committee would favourably consider the question of calling in an expert to advise them.

Rev. Wm. Goudie at Haverfordwest.
Rev. Wm. Goudie at Haverfordwest. The Rev. Wm. Goudie, the famous Indian missionary, and now the General Secretary of the Wesleyan Mission House, paid a visit to Haverford- west for the week-end on the occasion of the missionary anniversary. He preached on Sunday and conducted a young people's meeting in the afternoon which was presided over by Mr S. J. Rees. A choir of young people in Indian costume sang a Burmese hymu. Mr Goudie is a far-famed preacher. His sermon on Sunday morn- ing will be remembered as one of the greatest orations ever delivered in the town. On Sunday evening he made very powerful references to the war, and altogether his utterances were very masterly and deeply spiritual. The services were enhanced by the singing of the three artistes, Mrs Owen and rtes. Thompson and Hughes, who gteatly impressed the congregation. Our readers will be pleased to hear that Mr Goudie has promised to visit the town again next year. [ THE ANNUAL MEETING. Theannual meeting was held on Monday evening, when the Mayor (Coun. G. H. Llewellin) presided. He was supported in the pulpit by the deputation and the following local ministers :-Revs. E. J. Bradford, W. Mendus, Owen Jacobs, E. Nicholson Jones, and W. R. Lewis. The annual report was presented by the Rev. H. J. Barber, Milford Haven, who said that the predominant note of the year's work was one of cheerfulness. This year it was so in no uncertain measure. The adverse results of the war were felt in the most remote stations, and yet in spite of that fact the year had been one of unusual blessing. He dealt with the progress that ha.d been made, which was most marked in India and Africa. The report was one of deep thankfulness for the past and of calm assurance for the future. Dealing ¡ with the financial side, the speaker said there had been a gratifying increase in subscriptions. The Cardiff and Swansea district bad forwarded the sum of E5,019 10s. lid., an increase of X609 Ss. I d. on the preceding year. Of that amount the Haverfordwest circuit contributed X142 Is. 43., an increase of £17 11s., while the Haverfordwest church bad contributed £56 5s. 6d., an increase of Ell. Referring to individual collection's, Mr Barber mentioned the interesting fact that Mr Birt Simpson waa responsible for something like £ 40 during the last five years. The Mayor, in the courte of a few introductory remarks, referred to the problems of reconstruc- tion which would face the Government at the conclusion of hostilities. He hoped those questions would be handled wisely and with courage. Especially did he express the hope that the diplomatic service would be brought more closely in touch not only with democracy, bit into sym- pathetic relationship with missionary work. He was interested in their annual report which enumerated the difficulties which had been rn- counlered by the Wesleyan Society with the French Government in missionary enterprise on the Weet Coast of Africa Those difficulties would not have arisen had the diplomatic service been permeated with the spirit of Christ. In conclusion he expressed his delight that the missionary activities of the Wesleyan denomination were in a very beaitliy state. The Rev. W. Goudie dealt with the attitude of those people who contended that it was positively wicked at the present time to send mouey out of the country in order to convert pagans to a religion which they did not want. The two million pounds spent on missionary work represented about six or seven hours war expenditure of the British Govern- ment. If we had spent one-hundredth part of the material and spiritual labour that had been devoted to the war on the work of winning the worid for Christ then this war—due to a recreant Christen- dom—would never have taken place. The fact was, we as a nation were in earnest in the one and not in the other. He pointed out how, even from the national point of view, the money spent on foreign missions was a valuable asset. Mr Goudie referred to the writings of a distinguished Hindu publicist who bad given an able analysis of the reasons which bad actuated the great self-governing colonies and dependencies to come to the aid of Great Britain in her hour of need. England, said the writer in effect, bad captured their heart and fired their imagination by her religious ideals, and he ventured to suggest that in the back of the writer's mind were the accumulated witnesses of those high-souled gentlemen who had spent their lives in the disinterested work of regenerating and uplifting India. In an eloquent passage he testified to the noble and self sacrificing work of those gracious British women who ha.d laboured so as to turn the festering and foul places of India into a garden of God. The money spent on missions had been a great national asset and of great national value in this time ot crisis. He paid a tribute to the remarkable loyalty of India. To the labours of missionary men and women he attributed the fact that the poisonous seeds planted by German intrigue- feil into sterile soil. The missionaries who served their God served the interests of the country who sent them out. How could they, having accepted India's aid, refuse her in a niggardly spirit the consolations and hopes of the Christian religion ? But while he was delighted at the loyalty of India, he must be perfectly frank and state that this was no missiouary argument. They went out with the one over-mastering desire of making people loyal to Jesus Christ. In con- clusion the speaker referred to the difficulty of formulating peace terms. For the first time the peace would have to be an Imperial and inter- national one. All the Colonies of India would rightly claim to be represented at the peace conference. India would probably get a certain measure of self Government, and the danger was that the views of 350 millions of people would tincture and tinge our views, and tl at civilisation would tend to Jose its ideals and be reduced to a common level. The need for the gracious message of Christianity would be greater after the war than ever, and he appealed for a greater effort to shed abroad the light and sweet influences of the Gospel.

IANOTHER ORENDERGAST MAN KILLED…
ANOTHER ORENDERGAST MAN KILLED IN ACTION. Mrs Hurlow, 9, Prendergaot, has received official information that her son, Pte James Hurlow, was killed in action on July 31st. Pte. Hurlow was 20 years of age and previous to joining up was engaged as a farm labourer with Mr Morgan, Lambro'. He enlisted in Mav 1916, and was drafted to France in October last. Mrs Hollow has another son serving with the Welsh at Salonica. Deep sympathy is ifelt with the bereaved family. PTE. C. A. ROGERS, HAVERFORDWEST. On Thursday last while on a visit to her father at St. Ishmael's, Mrs Rogers, St. Thomas" Green, Haverfordwest, received the sad intelligence that her husband, Pte. Charles Alexander Rogers, had been killed in action in Flanders, on August 21st. Deceased, who was the son of Coun. H. J. Rogers, was one of the first four men to enlist in Haver- fordwest in the memorable month of August, 1914. He joined the Royal Engineers, and went to Ireland to receive his training. In February, 1915, he had a nervous breakdown, but making a rapid recovery he joined the 7th Welsh Battalion in Cardiff, with which he remained until he went to France in June, 1916, when he was transferred to the 13th Welsh. During his connection with the 7th Welsh deceased held the rank of acting-sergeant, and went through a course of musketry, bombing, and bayonet instruction for which he received a certificate of efficiency. He also went out on a re- cruiting tour and met with much success. On going back to his depot, he reverted to the rank of private. Our gallant young townsman had been in France and Flanders for over 12 months without being home on leave of absence, but his letters home were cheerful and uncomplaining, and in one of these, written recently, he said they might expect to see him in Haverfordwest any moment. Pte. Rogers took a keen interest in football, and was connected with the old Harlequin team. Behind the lines in France he always played with his regimental team, which had attained to marked proficiency in this sport. Pte. Rogers served 'his apprenticeship to the printing trade at the "Tele- graph Office. Deep sympathy is felt with the widow, as well as with Mr and Mrs H. J. Rogers in their bereavement. At a meeting of the Haverfordwest Town Council yesterday, sympathetic reference was made to Couu. Rogers's loss, and a vote of condolence was passed with him and Mrs Rogers in their bereave- ment. Pbotol [C. C. Higgs. mr lamest Axford, adopted eon of Mr and Mrs Simon Davies, Barn Street, Haverford- west, who recently met his death while miDe- eweeping. A memorial service to the deceased will be held at St. Martin's Church next San- day evening.

IMilford Haven Tribunal.
I Milford Haven Tribunal. A meeting of the Milford Haven Local Tribunal was held on Monday evening, Mr J. B. Gaskell presiding. I MILITARY APPEALS. Four of the cases were applications of the Military Authorities for a review of the absolute exemption granted, the appeals being made on the instructions of headquarters. The first case was Hubert Evans (33), Robert-street, general carrier and G.W.R. delivery agent.—Four months' tem- porary exemption. J. J. Phillips (39), B 1, superintendent Prudential Assurance Company. Applicant stated that when lie was granted his previous exemption he had been rejected. He said that he had lost three men and he was responsible for the collections of the lady collectors appointed in their place and bad to do a part of the collectin.Four months' temporary exemption. H. J. Scard (28), B2, cinema proprietor, also appeared, and said he was totally blind in the right eye.—Four months' temporary exemption. A. M. Jamieson (4.1), draper, sole partner in the firm of Whicber & Jamieson.—Four months' tem- porary exemption. I OTHER CASES. Albert Thomas, (32), B2, fish-worker, appealed on domestic grounds. Applicant said that his em- ployer was previously refused exemption by the PortjLabour Authority, and he was called up. On going to Carmarthen and pafsing B2, he was sent back and told to find work of national importance. —Four months' temporary exemption. Thomas Davies, plumber, etc., appealed for his son, Charles Hubert Davies, coppersmith, single, (22).-Conditional exemption subject to remaining in certified occupation. Thomas Winter (40), fisherman, and late Dock gateman.—Conditional exemption subject to re- maining in certiifed occupation. AirJrEALS AGAINST JOINING THE VOLUNTEERS. A letter was read from W. Davies, fish merchant, Dartmouth-street, asking the Tribunal to reconsider their decision that his exemption should be conditional on his joining the Volunteer Regiment. He appealed against this on con- scientious grounds at the last Tribunal. A similar application was made by H. G. Bricknell, fish salesman, Priory Road. It was the unanimous decision of the Tribunal that in both cases the previous decision (that the men join the Volunteers) be adhered to. FISH TRADE APPEALS WITHDRAWN. I The Chairman intimated that the 10 appeals by the military against the six months' exemption given by the Tribunal to fishbuyers and salesmen in Class A and B 1 had been withdrawn. THE VOLUNTEERS' QUESTION. Mr W. C. Wbittow raised the point as to the power of the Tribunal regarding the men who had been ordered to join the volunteers and had failed to do so. He understood some were turning up and others were not, and that was causing a peculiar position as masters had to join the Volunteers whilst their employees (who were under the Port Labour Committee) were clear of the obligation. The Chairman said that under a new regulation the matter was entirely in the bands of the military.

A rare programme of attractions, it will be seen, is being prepared, including Aldros Lukos, the missing link, in a sensational acrobatic per- formance, aud innumerable sideshows. The fancy dress carnival should attract many entries. A pleasing feature will be the competitions open to allotment holders in Milford, Hakiu and district, and there should be a real interest centred in this section. The entire proceeds of the function will be given to Our Boys'" Fund, surely a patriotic and worthy object. With the prospect of another winter's campaign the boys at the front will need supplies of comforts, and the balance sheet recently published in our columns showed what had been done by the local committee since the fund was established. All that is needed is a fine day aud success is assured.

I Little -Haven Sensation.
I Little Haven Sensation. I Burial Service Over Closed Grave. The people of Little Haven are very much exer- cised over a burial incident whieh occurred in the parish last Friday. It appears that the body of an unknown man was washed ashore, and pending the interment was placed in an unoccupied house. The facts were reported to the coroner by the local policeman, and as the body was decomposed be- yond recognition no inquest was held and the registrar's certificate for burial was issued to the overseer of the parish. On Friday while the funeral of Mrs Athe was being held at Talbenny, the corpse of the unknown man was borne to the churchyard. The Rev. Mr AVilliams, the 'Rev. Mr Dowding's locum tenens, appeared to resent the intrusion, and hastening to the churchyard entrance protested that the body was not to be brought inside. A heated altercation ensued between him and the undertaker, Mr John George, Little Haven, and the outcome was that the coffin was brought into the churchvard. The clergyman, however, refused to officiate, and the burial took place without any religious service. It is stated that the clergyman bad not received the certificate of burial, but on this point we have no definite information. Later some angry parishioners reported the matter to Mr Dowding, who on Saturday sent out notices that a burial service would be 'held over the closed grave. This took place as announced on Sunday in the presence" of a large number of parishioners.

As to the question of rent and charges, they were prepared to re-open it at the end of six months. It was understood that one fair would be held every four weeks. The Town Clerk said the fairs could not be altered before next January in any case, as it would take about three months to get the consent of the Local Government Board, as law' would probably have to proceed by bye- la?v. In the discussion which Flowed, the Town Cleik said the fairs had always been Towii with reference to Pembroke and Carew fairs. If a fair was to be held every four weeks there .1 "1-- 7_ WUUIU M.

At present the faii-s were ^s01i]etiftles so small as to be hardly felt in the town-Councillor Rowlands said they would face the fact that the mart was a co-ming institution.-Eventuallv the matter of drawing up dates was referred to a committee who are to act in consultation with the Farmers' society, and to report to the Council.

ILate Lieut. H. F. Day.
Late Lieut. H. F. Day. MEMOEIAL SERVICE AT MILFORD HAVEN. A memorial service to the late 2nd Lieut. Hubert F. Day-was bold at the Tabernacle Milford Haven last Sunday night. The Key. Q, Garro-Jones conducted the service, and paid a very high tribute to the gallant young officer's character. In- tellectually, be described him as one of the most brilliant young men that had ever gone out of Milford. And although he "did not carry his religion upon his sleeve for daws to peck at the preacher assured his hearers that be had deep religious feelings, and gave some very tellin" illustrations of the same. The rev. gentleman said that the question was often asked in view of such losses, Is this war worth the price we pay for it ?" He gave it as his conviction that had we not entered this war we would have had a greater price to pay. The sacrifice of brave men at the front saved us from the invasion of the barbarians whose atrocities would leave us only our c es to weep with. They were in the spirit of the Master when He said" Let these go away." Moreover this war was part of the awful price we paid for the com- ing of the new age of universal brotherhood and peace. Mr Garro-Jones added that whilst our loss was great and our grief poignant, we must not forget that Christ brought life and immortality into light. "To-night," said the preacher "we 'follow the examp'e of the early christians who were wont to say "goodnight," and not farewell to the departed. The preacher closed the sermon with an appeal to all civilians to be (in the words of a X, rc-ncb writer) soldiers in their own way. There was a very I irge congregation, all in very keen sympathy with Mr, Mrs, and Miss Day in their double bereavement. Special hymns were snng under the able conductorship of Mr Fred Morgan. Mr Gwilym Thomas M.A., presided at the organ, and Mrs Ferguson gave a very sym pathetic rendering of Abide with me."
