r ABERGAVENNY SOLDIERS. I FORM OF RECOGNITION SUGGESTED DINNER AND SMOKING CONCERT. I A meeting of discharged and demobilised tv-'idiers and sailors at Abergavenny was held at the Town Hall on Friday evening last for the purpose of considering what form of public recognition should be given them in connection with the celebration of Peace. Co!. J. (V. Bishop presided, and was supported by the Mayor (Aid. Z. Wheatley), Major J. R. javeb, and mallY others, A Matter of £ s. d. Col- Bishop, addressing the men as comrades, said that he had be-n askecl to take the chair at the last moment, and laboured under the dis- ability of not knowing what the meeting was for, but after his years' services with the Territorials. and since the war with other forces, he had no doubt that they would get to business, and that there would be no stupid horseplay. With j regard to the men who had served during the war, nothing that could possibly be done would be an adequate recognition after what they had gone through. That would be impossible but what could be done would be done to the best of their ability. It all came down to a humdrum matter of pounds, shillings and pence, and they had to cut their coat according to their cloth. The question had been through various phases, some pleasant and some very unpleasant, but the best way to get to work would be to appoint ii-ou l d be to appoint five representatives of the men to co-operate with five from the Peace Celebrations Committee, aud between them they would no doubt formn- ate an acceptable scheme. That seemed a feasible way of getting on with the work. He was not speaking on behalf of the Peace Celebra- tions Committee he had not attended a meet- ing, although he believed he was really a member. They would, welcome any reasonabl e suggestion and he was sure that the men would put forward nothing but what was useful and reasonable. It a reasonable scheme If a reasonable scheme ..as put forward, he did not think that there would be am- lack of funds. ii?,t thir-k the meeting for suggestions or H,-? asked the t(,r or A voice I would like to know from wh2t source the funds will come. Another man in the audience said that he was wounded in 1915 and drew f2, III i7s. of which •was taken to the fund. He had had to live on the remaining half-dollar. The Chairman You are looking very well ou it. (Laughter). Mr. Jones Is the -1 a head knocked on the lie ad ? The Chairman Von may take it that it is. -Another voice The best way to represent the comrades would be to select five members. The Chairman In my opinion that would be the best way to get on with the work. In reply to a question about the funds, the Chairman, said that :t would be provided par- tially out of the 4d. rate and partially from voluntary subscriptions. Public subscriptions were being ad vertlsed Jar in that week's Chronicle." A Voice Then we are indirectly paying for our own. recognition Not Asking for Anything. Another voice There is a feeling among the I that we don't wish to be any incumbrance upon the rates. We are not asking for anything at all. (Loud applause). We are satisfied that we have done our duty, and we are asking for nothing. We expected something on Peace Day and were disappointed, but we are the last men in the world to ask for anything to be put upon the ratepayers. The Chairman The last speaker h4 ex- pressed in language what I have always thought. No soldier here would think anything of re- ceiving £ 1, or £500, for the services he has given. The best recognition he can have is the assurance of having done his duty. If you wish that no part of the rate shall be used for the purpose of the soldiers, then I will see to it that no part is used. (Applause). A voice What will become of that balance ? The Chairman It will be in the hands of the Peace Celebration Committee, and will be used for some charitable purpose. I will see, as a member of the Corporation, that it is so used. The following were then nominated and elected to represent the men to meet the repre- sentatives of the Peace Celebration. Committee Armourer Q.M.S. Evenson, R.E. Sapper Douglas, R.E. Sergt. Jim Connolley, 2nd Moas, Trooper Fred Walder, R.G.H.Y. and Sergt. Wm. Didcot, R.F.A. The above were nominated as plain Mr. 's," and on the Chairman asking for the ranks, one of the audience remarked Among de- mobilised soldie-rz, there is only one rank." (Laughter). A voice I suggest that we wait for the result of the subscription list before we make any list I)e f o-,e we make anv arrangements. The Chairman You may 'be quite certain that if it can be produced at a reasonable figure there will be no difficulty about the money. A Disorganised Body. I Mr. Ivoxley said that the soldiers were a dis- organised body. There -.sere plenty of ways in which they needed assistance, and no one could assist a soldier but a soldier. They should be an organised body. He suggested that they be placed on a proper tooting and become properly organised. (Applause' A voice At one time there was a branch of the N.F.D.D.S.S. I was one of the committee. The Federation was open to even-one, but it received no support. A voice What about the funds ? The previous speaker replied that the funds left over were divided between the Cottage Hospital and the Nursing Association. A voice I propose a discharged soldiers' association. a soldiezs' Another voice I propose a public meeting in the Park at three o'clock on Sunday of all demobilised men. The Chairman There seems to be a strong desire to have an organisation and to meet to- gether and have that social life which always appeals to a soldier. The Comrades of the Great War is one such organisation. You will get what you want. and what you ought to want. (Applause). It is not necessary to call another meeting. Mr. J. Carter said that Major Davey had asked him to find out the teeling of the soldiers of the ti .vsn on the question. He was willing to call a meeting at any time, together with other in- fluential people in the district, with a view to starting a branch of the Comrades of the Great .?tartin Major Davey was himself a Comrade. Several men present said that they did not rare for the Comrades of the Great War and would prefer the N.F.D.D.S.S. The Chairman suggested that they call a neetmg and ask Major Davey to attend, so that they might ask him to explain the objects of the organisations. No doubt Major Davey would call a meeting at all early date for that purpose. This suggestion was put to the meeting as a proposition and carried. A Dinner and Smoking Concert. ] A member of the audience asked whether there was any objection to a meeting in the Park, and remarked that they did not want the police interfering with them. The Chairman ottered the use of the Drill Hall for a meeting on the Sunday. The Mayor said lie would take the responsi- bility, of offering them the free use of the Town flail, where they w.;iild be more comfortable. It was decided that a meeting should be held on Sunday afternoon at the Town Hall. Capt. Moon proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman, and this was seconded and carried. A vote of thanks was also accorded the Mayor for the use of the Town Hall, and the Mayor, in reply, said that he wanted them to try if they I < onld not make this year the pleasantest of their lives. He would be very pleased to do anything he could, as Mayer, as he had done for the last live years. He hoped that the response to the public appeal would be a liberal one and that the result would be worthy of the occasion. The Chairman said that he was always de- lighted to meet comrades of the Territorial Force and other branches of the service. He hoped that their efforts that night would meet with the success they deserved. Referring to the Mayor's remark about his being the prospec- tive Colonel of the -rd Mons., he might as well inform them now that the War Office had seen lit to approve of his appointment as commanding officer. (Applause) He would soon be looking out for recruits. (Laughter). When the drums liegan to beat he was confident there would be 110$hoTi aee of men to ^eep up the reputation of the 3rd Mons. and to make it worthy of t:10c who had gone before. The soldiers held a meeting at the Town Hali on Sunday afternoon. The proceedings did not last very long, and those present unanimously agreed that the recognition should take the form of a dinner and smoking concert.

r Abergavenny Rural Council. 250 TONS OF COAL FOR EMERGENCY. I PURCHASE OF TRACTOR FOR HAULING. I The monthly meeting of the Abergavenny Rural Council was held on Tuesday. Mr. Robert Johnson presiding. There were also present Mr. Edgar W. Lewis (vice-chairman). Rev. L. J. Lloyd, Rev. D. F. Walters, Messrs. Joseph Griffiths, Roger Morgan, John Prichard, John I-ayuam, Chas. Thomas, John Jenkins, F. 0. Price. W m. Bigs, Walter Johnson, Alfred Ed- wards, aiid A. A. Davie. I Housing at Llanwenarth. 11 Arising out of the minutes of the Housing I Committee, Mr. Prichard said it was stated that I 40 new houses were required at Llanwenarth. That was the number asked for by local people, but the committee had not decided on that I number. He did not see why they should build houses for people who worked at Ebbw Vale and Blaenavou and who were trying to ruin the country. They were only supposed to provide houses for the requirements of the district The Chairman I think we have decided to take each parish separately, when we come to ta'-e each paris ?i v-e co;ie to I inspection of Cowsheds and Dairies. The Sanitary Inspector (Mr. A. J.Willcox) reported that there had been no notification of infectious disease since last meeting, and the districtwas now free from infectious disease. The owner of Springwells Cottages had promised to carry out the necessary repairs as soon as possible. He had completed the inspection of the 21 elementary schools in the district and sent the reports to the County Medical Officer He had taken a county inspector round the cow- sheds and dairies in the district and 10 inspec- tions had been made to date. I Coal for Emergency. The Surveyor, who is also the local I-'uel Over- seer, read a letter from the divisional officer at Cardiff of the Coal Control Department. This stated that in view of the general situation it had been decided to establish increased stocks of coal in every district in case of emergency and to avoid unnecessary hardship. The divisional officer wished to know what quantity would he required to guard against emergency. The Controller had issued instructions that priority would he given to household coal. The trucks of coal would be consigned to the local fuel over- seer, who would allocate them to the merchants and collect the money. The Chairman said that Mr. Willcox saw him on the matter, but he did not ieel justified in sanctioning the purchase of a stock of coal before the matter was first discussed. It was a serious question, at the time, but he thought the position was now easier. The Surveyor said he had been trying to get the merchants to put down reserve stocks of coal. The Controller had asked why they had not done so. and his reply was that local mer- chants in their district were generally not moneyed men. If they stocked 50 tons of coal it meant [100 lying dead, and the merchant dare not touch it. as the stock was to be kept for the winter in case of emergency. Mr. Joseph Griffiths Is there any place where people have gone short because there was no stock The Surveyor said he was not aware that there was. Mr. Baynam said he thought it would be a good thing to get a stock, in case of emergency. Mr. Griffiths If we get a stock in. whose llloney is to pay for it r Rev. D. Walters The Council's. The opinionj.was expressed by some of the members that it would be better for the mer- chants themselves to get a stock in, rather than for the Council to do so. The Chairman thought they might advance the money to enable the merchants to get a reserve stock, but it was pointed out that the Council could not do this. On the proposition of the Rev. n F. Walters, seconded by Mr. F. O. Price, it was decided to get a stock of coal in, and the suggestion of the Surveyor to get 250 tons aud to allocate it be- tween the five stations was agreed to. A Great Saving. The Surveyor reported on the question of hauling stone by traction. He said he had made inquiries as to whether petrol or steam was the best, and had to come to the conclusion that for stone hauling steam was far the best motive power. He thought it would be best to purchase a tractor with a trailer behind, and he was of opinion that there was no advantage in having an engine which could also be used for stone rolling. The average pre-war cost of hauling stone was {ï5° to -[Soo, and the cost of the same ,;tone was ?750 to work to-day would he A tractor would cost -11,02o, and the annual expense, reckoning interest on capital, depreciation, licence, coal, wages, etc., would be about putting down more for some of the items, a considerable saving wuld be effected by the purchase of a tractor and trailer. He was satisfied that with one engine and trailer they could do the whole j of the work in their district and effect a big saving. I The Chairman And get the work done as well. Mr. F. O. Price said that steam was the most reliable motive power for this kind of work. He thought a rather larger allowance should be made for some of the items of expenditure. The Surveyor was directed to make further inquiries with regard to the cost of an engine.

ABERGAVENNY POLICE COURT. I Wednesday—Before Col. W. 1). Steel, Col. W. jI Williams aud Mr. 1>. Howell Tamcs. Dog Offences. I C Jeukin>. collier, Pwlldu, was summoned for keeping two sheep-dogs without muzzles, and on the evidence of P.C. Birch was fined 30s. W. Cower Andrews, J.P., Aberbaiden, was summoned for having no muzzle on his Scotch terrier and having no name on the collar, and was fined 15s. and 5s. for the respective offences. The Rev. W. H. J OUb, Vicar of Llanellen, was summoned for allowing his dog at large without a lead. lpt. Thomas said that 011 the 233rd he saw a cross-bred sheepdog dash out at a motor-car from defendant's trap. Witness asked defendant why he had not put the lead on and he replied that he had forgotten it. The dog was a real nuisance and dashed out at everything that came along. Fined 5s. Thomas Thomas, for having no collar and no 1 lead on his two sheepdogs was fined £1 in all. I Licensees and Holiday Extensions. j On the application of Dr. Grey, an extension t of hours was granted until 11 o'clock the follow- I ing night, for an invitation dance at the Angel Hotel. Dr. Grey", speaking on behalf of local licensees, said that there was a new order which gave the Bench power to extend the hours of selling on special occasions, and possibly the Bench might see their way to grant a special extension on August Bank Holiday Monday and Tuesday, when the town woiild be crowded with people. The licensees felt..s that unless it was granted to all, anu m would care to takt advantage of the traders by asking for it individually. not wish to persevere in this application il it was going to give addi- tional trouble to the police. The order only came out a few days ago giving power to extend the hours from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. It had been held that New Year's Eve was a special occasion, and therefore one might conclude that August Bank Holiday Monday and Tuesday were special occasions. It was a matter for the police, and whether the suggestion was accept- able to Supt. Thomas he did not know Col. Steel asked what was the extent of the extension, and Dr. Grey replied that it meant opening all day and doing away with the re- striction of hours When there were so many people about lie thought it would relieve the congestion to keep open all day. Supt. Thomas said that the order could not apply to all the licensed houses. It only applied where there were a large number of people congregated. After a considtation, the licensees decided not to put forward the application j Hot" Fine Otd Scotch Excessive Price I Charged. Arthur Atkins, licensee of the Victoria Hotel was summoned for selling whisky at a price ex- ceeding the maximum. Mr. W. H. Hopwood (Executive Officer) prosecuted, and Dr. Grey defended. Inspector Evans, of the Ministry of Toad. stated that on the 2nd of July he visited the Victoria and asked the barmaid for a drop of Scotch. She served him with a fifth of a gill of whisky from a bottle labelled Fine old Scotch," for which he paid 6d., or at the rate of 2s. 6d. per gill, whereas the price in a public bar should be at the rate of 2s. id. He knew it was not pro- prietary whisky, and not being satisfied with the strength he took a sample and sent one part to the public analyst. When he spoke to Mrs. Atkins she said I bought the whisky and put it in this bottle to serve in the bar." There was a bill hung in the bar showing the price of spirits. The analyst certified that the sample was 49.25 under proof, and the price of that strength should not be more than is. 8d. per gill. The Chairman What should have been the specific gravity ? Witness Not less than 35 under proof should lie 2s. id. Witness added that it was illegal to sell whisky which was more than 50 allder proof. Dr. Grey, for the defence, said that the licensee could not denend on the receipts from the house for his livelihood, as it was only a small house, and therefore he went out to work regularly and left his wife in charge. On this day she was busy in the yard and told the char- woman to serve Mrs. Atkins knew that there was whisky which she could not sell at the price charged, but the charwoman did not know one bottle from another. Of course, if the whisky had been sold in a private bar a higher price could have been charged. He did not think it was a case where there was'a desire to do any- thing illegal, but was simply a case of want of knowledge on the part of a temporary assistant, who had gone into the bar on this one occasion. Annie Smith, charwoman, said that she went to the Victoria twice a week. Mrs. Atkins was busy and asked her to mind the bar The Chairman said they had received an order that in cases of this kind they were to impose heavy penalties, and the Clerk informed him that it was quite likely that in future the option of a fine might not be given. In this particular case they were quite willing to take into con- sideration the extenuating circumstances put forward, but they did not altogether absolve the defendant, whose business it was to see that the law was carried out. lender the circumstances, they would take as lenient a view as they possibly could and fine the defendant +5. -Å.

A leading West-End physician writes :— The physician hesitates to prescribe medicated wines becau8e of the danger, especially to nerrous paftents. of the craving for dru?s with which certain Tonics arei fortified.' It is a pleasure, therefore, to recommend a Tonic Liqueur like Fort-Reviver, which is free from alcohol and contains no noxious medioament, and yet whilst being palatable and invigorating as well as refreshing, contains the most natural and beneficial of nerve restoratives. There is nothing like FORT-REVIVER for giving a feeling of energy and exhilaxation, and a glow of health. It is a most de- liciously refreshing tonia and unrivalled for its recupemtive effects.

ABERGAVENNY SPORTS.I
ABERGAVENNY SPORTS. I RECORD ENTRIES, INCLUDING WORLD'S I CHAMPION. I The entries for the sports meeting, which is being run by the Attractions Association in con- nection with the military tournament in Bailey Park 011 Tuesday and Wednesday, August 5th and 6th. establish a record. The total entries are no less than 375, and there are 204 individual competitors, which easily beats the record of Whitsuntide, and, for the number of events, has probably not been surpassed by any sports meeting in South Wales. The half-mile will, in particular, be an attractive event, as there is a big field of runners. J. Mears, of Australia, who beat Donaldson and is now the world's champion, will positively appear in the (in and roo yards, and there are many other well-known South Wales runners entered, including' Jerry Shea. An attractive programme of tournament items by the ist Life Guards and the Monmouthshire Police has been drawn up, and there is every prospect of a big crowd on both days to see these unusually attractive events at the Park. The entries for the horticultural show, at the C as tic, are also exceptionally good. and this Cast i ,?- are also exce attraction and the expensive fetes programme which has been arranged for the Castle should also draw large crowds on the Monday and Tuesday.
