The Housing Conference. In another part of this issue will be found the report of an important county conference on housing at Haverfordwest last Saturday. The Chairman, General Sir Ivor Philipps, succeeded in infusing a spirit of earnestness and enthusiasm into the gathering, and we hope that the various local authorities will lose no time in formulating housing schemes of far-reaching character and scope. The work is badly needed in almost every parish there are insanitary dwellings reeking with tuberculosis" as Mr W. T. Davies graphically put it. And in many districts there is an actual shortage of cottages of the kind which d isgrace our countryside. With tho-resolutions passed we cordially agree, and we hope ilio County Council will see that they arc acted upon and are not allowed to remain as pious ex pressions of opinion. The Haverf rdwest Town Council and the Narberth Rural Council have done something, but not nearly enough, to meet the shortage of houses. So far they have only touched tho fringe of the problem, and the time has now arrived when more ambitious projects should be taken in hand. Tho financial aid promised by the Govern- ment absolutely removes the last excuao for inaction. Mr W. George James, indeed, ad vanced the preposterous plea that inas- much as there was a number of houses already vacant in various parishes, it would be foolish for the local authority of which he is a member to frame a building scheme. Ald. Dundas Roach at once pointed out the weakness of Mr James's argument. It would be more to the point, as he said, to know the num ber of houses at present in- habited in the Haverfordwest Rural District which no sanitary inspector or medical officer would pass as fit for huujau occupation. It is all a question of standards, and we are afraid that Mr James's standard is a deplor- ably low one, so low as not to weigh with any enlightened or humane public senti- ment. The mud hovels must go, and we look to Mr T. G. Lewis, who has large social ideals, to see that the body over which he presides does not-become a reproach among the people of Wales. Good houses and plenty of them mean health and abounding prosperity, and we look to the premier county to see that the blot whidl disfigures its beauty and lowers the morals and physique of its inhabitants is wholly and finally removed.

Haverfordwest Grammar School. A FA'LLEN SOLDIEh'd SON. SPECIAL GRANT AWARDED. The qua-rterly meeting of the Governors of tho Haverfordwest Grammar School was held on Monday afternoon, when there were pre- sent: Mr. R. T. P. Williams (chairman), Mrs. S. B. James, Sir Charles Philipps, Archdeacon Hilbers, Dr. Henry Owen, Dr, J, H. H. Williams, Capt. Hugh J. P. Thomas, Messrs. T. R. Dawkins, John Evans, Francis Phillips, H, J. Rogers, H. J. E. Price, Hugh Saunders, and the Head Master (Mr. P. R. Hooper, M.A.). SCHOLARSHIPS. The Chairman said the Governors advertised 13 scholarships, and 16 boy had qualified. He hoped they would take in the whole 16. Mr. Hooper said the school would be very fuU ug, and he did not see how he would be able to find room for the other three. In reply to the Chairman, the Headmaster said this would bring the number of pupils up to about, 120, The Chairman said it would be a pity to leave out three of the 16, and he moved that scholarships be awarded to the 1§. This was agreed to. The Chairman said the third boy, Mathias, had only missed a Millward Scholarship by 14 mafk, His father, ColournSergt. Morgan Mathias, went out with the 4th Welsh, and was killed. He had pome to an age when he need not have gone; he went through the South Afrkan war as a vol unteer, and went into this war as a volunteer. He (the Chair- man) would move that they make the soil's scholarship up to the same sum as if he had won a Millward, by giving him an annual g t-ai t of iE2. Mf. T. R. Dawkins seconded, and it was carried unanimously. HEADMASTER'S REPORT. The Headmaster reported that in the Cen- tral Welsh Board examination one candidate sat for the higher certificate, but as he had not had sufficient time to cover the syllabus his name was not among the successful candi- dates. For the senior, seven entered, and Ave were successful. That was satisfactory, but not up to last year's standard, when there were no failures. The juniors showed an ad- vance, 16 out of 23 proving successful. Con- sidering the disadvantages they had to coft- tend with he thought both the staff and the boys were to be complimented on the result. The prospects of the school for the coming year were promising. Subject to the approval of the Governors he had arranged for the woodwork teaching "(which Had been kindly kept going by Mr. H. J. Rogers) to be taken by the woodwork master of the Milford Hay.en County School. INCREASE OF SALARIES. The Headmaster submitted applications for increase of salaries from Miss Elsie M. Evans, Miss Eddin (science mistress), and Mr. Friend, and the applications were granted.. ——————— —————-——

Motor Car Smash. I ACCIDENT ON NARBERTH ROAD. There was a motor-car smash on the iNarberth Road yesterday afternoon, resulting in serious in- juries to Mrs Vaughan, The Bowlings, Rudbaxton. It appears that Mrs Vaughan and a friend were returnnig from Tenby, and on nearing Arnolds Hill, the car in which they were travelling, belong- ing to Mr J. Bland, collided at the cross-roads with another car from Milford Haven, which emerged from the Picton Castle road. As a result of the impact, Mrs Vaughan was thrown out, fracturing her arm and sustaining severe cuts to the head and face. Mr H. Rule Owen happened to be passing a few minutes later and conveyed Mrs Vaughan into Haverfordwest, where she was attended to by Dr. Lloyd. Both cars were badly damaged. The occu- pants of the Milford car, and Mrs Vaughan's friend, escaped injuries. At the cross-roads where the accident occurred, there are warnings to motorists to drive with caution.

SCROLL OF FAME. LOCAL CASUALTIES. Two Haverfordwest Men Killed in Action. We regret to announce that Pte. G. E. Jenkins, son of Mrs Jenkins, 20, Prospect Place, Haverford- west, has been killed in action. The first intima- tion of the news was conveyed to Mrs Jenkins, in the following letter from Lieut. Hoggant Dear Mrs Jenkins,—It is with deepest sympathy that I have to inform you that your son, Pte. G. E. Jenkins, was killed in action in the battle of Langemarch on Monday last. The officers and 1 men of his company desire me to express their deepest sympathy with you in your sad loss.—I remain, Yours sincerely, LIEUT. HOGGANTT. Pte. Jenkins, who was 22 years of age, joined the army in March 1916, and was drafted to France about three months later. Previous to joining up he was engaged at a brewery in Crumlin, and prior to that he spent about four years in Mr Green's garage. Deep sympathy is felt with Mrs Jenkins and family in their great bereavement. WOUNDED AND MISSING. Mrs Phillips, 26 City Road, Haverfordwest, re- ceived official information on Thursday last that her son, Pte. Wm. Phillips, had beet) wounded and missing since August 4th. Mrs Phillips bad not received a letter from her son for six weeks. Three weeks ago she had a letter from his friend stating that be had been wounded. Pte. Phillips was 36 years of age and previous to joining the colours in April, 1916, tie was engaged in farm work with Messrs Roach James and Jenkins. He is the only son of Mrs Phillips, and had been in France since October last. A SECOND BEREAVEMENT. It is with Jeep regret that we have to announce I the death from wounds of Driver Wm. Davies, R.F.A, younger and only surviving son of Mrs Davies, Portfleld, Haverfordwest. DRIVER WM. DAVIES.

Divies 5251 is dead nncfwill be buried in an English cemetery and a cross placed on his grave. I pray that God will sustain you in your trouble and that you will find comfort in the words Greater love hath no man than this that he lay down his life for his friends." I am, yours truly, E. C. GAMPELL. On Saturday Mrs Davies had official in- formation stating that her son had died from wounds received in France. The news came as a great blow to the family, as the other son was killed in France in October 1911. Pte. Davies joined the army in 1915 and sailed for France on Christmas Day of that year. He was home for a few days' leave in January last. Pre- vious to enlisting he was employed with Messrs Bishop and Son, Haverfordwest. PTE. JOHN WILLIAMS. HAVERFORD- WE-ST WOUNDED.

ANOTHER MILFORD FOOTBALLER SUC- CUMBS. 1 -1 u I The sad news came on Thursday last to 1111:' wife residing in Warwick Road, Milford Haven, that Sapper George R. Hooper had died of gunshot wounds in hospital at Dunkirk. De- ceased joined the Inland Water Transport Sec- tion, Royal Engineers, in February, 1916, and was not long before he was drafted to France, and from the day he joined he had not had the privilege of being once home on leave.

The eldest son of Mr. Richard Hooper, he was a member of the Milford Town Football Club, and was a dashing exponent of the game of hockey. He was of a genial disposition, and his untimely end has caused feelings of sorrow on all hands. In civil life he was a fish buyer on the market for Mr. John Butterfield, of Lowestoft. Quite a young man, of about io, he leaves a widow and one little girl. PRIVATE C. A. ROGERS, HAVERFORDWEST, Son of Councillor H. J. Rogers. Haverfordwest, who has been killed in action in Flanders.

Milford Haven Baby Show and Flower Day. I A GRATIFYING SUCCESS. -1 Success attended the Milford Haven District Nursing Association in their dual venture on Satur- day last. For a great number of years the Associa- tion has done good and much needed work in the town, and the services of the nurses have been al real boon to the people. Like many auother institution, it has been affected by the many calls in other directions in these difficult days and it was a happy inspiration on the part of the committee to hold a flower day and baby show, the former to aid the funds and the latter to encourage the icultivation of mother craft in the care of the infant life, more necessary to-day than a an v time in the history of the nation. The sale of flowers was undertaken by a large baud of young ladies, and very soon a clearance of the blooms" was effected. I liThe baby show was held in tha afternoon at the Central Hall, which lent itself admirably for the purpose. Excellent arrangements bad been made by the committee, of which Mrs Hole is the president this year, and Mrs Gwyliqj Thomas, hon. secretary. Judging commenced at 2 p.m., and the difficult task was kindly undertaken by Dr. Saunders, Pembroke Dock. He was assisted by Nurse Robinson, Milford Haven Nurse Stanbie, Swansea and Nurse Jones, district nurse, Haver. fordwest. The local District Nurse was unfortu- nately prevented from being present through a somewhat serious illness. At 4 o'clock the doors were open to the public. Tea was provided for the mothers in an ante-room. The scene in the hall, as can well be imagined, was somewhat animated, there being over 80 babies on the move, some prattling, some crying, and so forth, but the mothers all supremely happy and proud. There were:several classes, and a fine collection of hand- someand useful prizes had been got together. The committee were favoured in securing the Baroness d« Rutzen of Siebech to present the prizes. Accompanying her was Lady Newnes, and on the platform in addition were Dr. Saunders, Mrs Hole, Mrs Dare, Mrs Birt, Mrs Howells (the Vicarage), Mrs Saunders (Pembroke Dock). Mrs Constable, Mrs D. Pettit, Mrs M. W. Howell, Mrs Tidman, Mrs G. Cole, and the nurses. Dr. Saunders briefly introduced the Baroness who, be said, was deeply interested in nursing and the care of child life. The Baroness de Rutzen, who was greeted with applause, said she didn't know that they could realise what it meant to her to stand up and face such a delightful lot of babies and their mothers. It had given her a tremendous let of pleasure to come and see wh.v they could do in ilitford Haven. They had done splendidly, and she had not seen such a beautiful coMecti; n in any one place. For a number of yejrs she hid iiem interested in nursing and the cultivation of health. What in the world c mid she siy to a muther, though a mother herself, about the cure of the babies? Well, there was one thing-nono of them should be ash imed to learn. If they had any opportunity to learn something more than they knew, never neglect to do so Every-babe had an individuality of its own. It wanted love and perpetual care, and no one but a mother or good nurse could give it. Another important thing was cleanliness, food and good careful feeding. She had seen, for instance, an infant hbing giveu tomato and cheese. She bad learnt all she knew from a nurse and that was one reason why she advocated the provision of a nurse for every country district. (Applause). They could learn from tne nurse many thing., and there should be nurses everywhere. They must all rea'ise that the hope of the Empire and this country lay iu the laps of the mothers and it was an enc uraging thing to see them doing so well in Milford Haven. She hored. tlut the u.d)i.)s present would, through the care bestowed upon them, grow up into strong healthy men and wumen to serve their country. It gave her grc:it pleasure to come and present the prizes to such a splendid lot of babies. (Applause). Dr. Saunders congratulated them on their babies, and it had been a hard thing to make a choice —they were such a level lot. Perhaps even now he bad not judged correctly. If he had to go over them again very likely be would select others. (Laughter). I THE PRIZES. I I The Baroness then presented the prizes as follows:— Class A.—Champion baby in the show (prize, I silver cup, given by Mr David Pettit, T.P.)-Courad James Barber (son of Rev. H. J. and Mrs Barber). Class B.-Best baby whose father is serving in H.M. Forces (British). (Prize, war savings certifi- cate, brush and comb).—Eric Reynolds (son of CorpJ.

At the close Mr JJavid Pettit proposed, and Mr M. W. Howell seconded, a vote of thanks to Dr. Saunders; and MrsGwylim Thomas proposed, and Mrs M. W. Howell seconded, a similar vote to the Baroness pe Rutzen, after which both responded, and the proceedings closed with the National Anthem. At the request of the committee, Mr H. Scard kindly procured the national baby week film, "Motherhood," for the Cinema during the week-end and this was very appropriate to the occasion. ——————— -——————

He was carried to the surgery on the Dock ambulance, and later taken to the Haver- fordwest Infirmary in the ambulance car.—On Thursday night, after darkness had set in, an aged inhabitant, Mrs Jane Griffiths, of Jubilee Terrace, Robert Street, fell against the curbing in the street, just opposite her house, as she was pro- ceeding to the house of her son. One of the neigh- bours was attracted to the door by the sound of groans, and on going across the roadway found Mrs Griffiths as stated. Assistance was procured and she was carried into the house. Dr. H. O. Wil- liams was sent for and oil examination found the aged sufferer had fractured one of her thighs. She was conveyed to the Haverfordwest Infirmary the next day. She is about 80 years of age.

THE UNKNOWN SAILOR. BURIED LIKE A DOC IN A HOLE." I Letter From Rev. Woodman Dowding. I To the Editor of the Telegraph." I BIR,—in your issue of the ath inst. a paragraph I under the heading of Little Haven Sensation" gave a highly coloured and distorted account of the burial of an unknown body at Talbenny Church- yard. Only the real facts can correct the gross misrepresentations that Jhave been current in the district. The full story is as follows :—It was late in the afternoon of Thursday, 30th August, that I first heard of a body being found on the shore. I immediately went to my locum tenens, the Rev. J. M. Williams, and asked him if he had heard any- thing of the burial of the body, as I had not. Find- ing that be had received no notice, I went to Haverfordwest on the following day (Friday) to find out irom some responsible authority what the correct procedure should be. It was on my return home on Friday evening that I first heard that the interment had taken place. It was not pleasant to hear that the clergy had refused to bold a service over the body of a man who had given his life for his King and country." I at once went to my locum tenens to find out what had really occurred. Then I interviewed the undertaker, Mr J. George, who admitted that not only had be buried the body without a certificate from the Registrar or Coroner, which the Rev. J. M. Williams had rightly demanded, but had also dug the grave without permission of the Churchwardens and myself. Further, no notice had been given to the clergy. The appearance of the coffin at the churchyard gate was the first intimation that this burial had been arranged. I may state here that so far as the parishioners being keenly interested in the burial of an unknown man "who had given his life for his King and country," as a matter of fact the coffin was brought up on a cart and there were barely sufficient persons present to carry the body. I immediately reported the matter to the Registrar of deaths. The following is a copy of my letter, dated 1st September:— Sir,—It is my duty to inform you of an irregu- larity which took place yesterday at Talbenny Churchyard. Mr J. George, jun., and some others buried the body of a sailor which was found on the rocks. He informed me that he did not have a certificate from the Coroner or any other authority. I received no notice that the funeral was to take place and only heard of the proceed- ings on my return home in the evening. To this letter I received the reply below, dated September ::Ird;- Re the burial of an unknown man at Tal- benny on the 31st ulto. The Overseer of the Parish should have attended here to register the death previous to the burial as the Coroner bad decided not to held an inquest. The above letters contain the essential facts which completely exonerate my locum tenens. To conclude the story. Sharing the indignation of my locum tenens and parishioners that a man who had given his life for King and country" should be so treated—to put it bluntly: he was buried like a aog in a hole-I at once placarded Little Haven and Broad Haven with notices that I would hold a memorial service by the nameless grave on Sunday at 10.30 a.m. I regret to have to say it, but I personally did not observe that any of the persons who had had a hand in the irregular funeral on the preceding Friday, were present at this service. It was well attended, however, by visitors and a sprinkling of the parishioners. A collection was made in church to place a stone over the nameless grave, The full cost has been contributed-X2 15s. I have even had to return subscriptions which were sent without "canvass- ing," that fatal failing of our religious and social institutions. This is where the incident stands. How it will terminate it is impossible to guess. That it cannot remain as it is goes without saying. The blame must be placed on the right backs. Decency and patriotism demand that the nameless dead cast upon our shores should be reverently and affection- ately laid to rest. Public opinion has not treated my loyal and painstaking locum tenens fairly. I am confident that the full presentation of the facts will go far to rectify this. Certainly in this parish a complete revolution has taken place in opinion and feeling. The blame has been diverted from the Rev. J. M. Williams to other persons. Your unfortunate paragraph based on faulty evidence constrained me to send this full account. I believe your readers will appreciate fact rather than fiction because (1) It is true. (2) It is more sensational. A. T. WOODMAN DOWDING. Rector, Walton West, Talbenny. THE RESCUES FROM DROWTNFFNG AT I NEWGALE. SIR,—I am not aware if anyone is taking the matter up, but I certainly think the gallant conduct of Mr Ernest Davies, M A., in rescuing two lives from drowning at Newgale should be brought to the notice of the Royal Humane Society. From all I can gather there seems not the slightest doubt that had it not been for his timsly help the lives of Mrs Thomas and her daughter would have been sacrificed. Yours, &c., ADMIRER. September 10, 1917.
