INOTES OF THE WEEK,
I NOTES OF THE WEEK, I The County Council Elections. The County Council eltetioii6 took place ON Saturday, and the iftost surprising re- suits were in Anglesey. In a county which returned a Labour iiieriii)o: at the last General ElecLion and rejected Sir Ellis J. Griffith, K.C.. who had represented the constituency uninterruptedly for years, it watl natural to expect that the change in favoul- of Labour would re-act at the elac. tion of members for the County Council- It did not, however, anct in 21 divisions in which official Labour candidates were put forward only one was suecesslut. In fact, evenu the president and the vice- chairman of the Labourers' Union found themselves out in the cold. Those who oare to dip into the psychology of Angle- ►ssy politics may possibly tind some ex- planation for this overwhelming defeat of Labour when attempting to capture seats in the local parliament It would be in- to re ting to know what Sir Ellis Griffith thinks of the situation. Mr Ormsby Gore. I Mr Ormsby Gore, who has returned to London from the Peace Conference, is now handling No ax Eastern affairs at tae Foreign Office. He has been discharging on behalf of the Government the duties which the late Sir Mark Sike^ used to carry out, and, like Sir Mark, he has made a special study of Eastern a flairs. Mr Ormsby Gore will now be able to assist in the compromise to be attempted on the Welah Church question, of the intricacies of wiiiuh he 13 master. Before the armis- tioe he was with the WeL-h troops in Palestine, and was able to enter Jerusalem shortly after it was taken. The preecnce of Mr Ormsby Gore in London is a hint that, so fax as the Peace Conference 1* con- cerned, Near Eastern affairs have been practically settled. Bangor Voters' List. I TtJe Bangor City Council wore fully jus- I tilled in protesting against the way the last lic-it of voters, for the borcough waa com- peted they arc in fact bringing to a head complaints which were rife at the time of the olection. A system which is 1 open to sudh blundering is certainly ae much in need of revision as the voters' list itself. The Vix months' registration work cost Bangor Cl26. and in order to eimpl.iasise their complaint the Oity Coun- cil decided to pay only half the bill, and, moreover, the Mayor and Town Clork were deputed to fcfrrmilute Teasons against the pierent arrangement, for pir-esentation to tho Local Government Boa-d Some method of making up the voters' list sho'.rj.i be adopted by which persons tborou-ghlv acquainted with the districts are responsible for their respective areas. If that were done wo should not find, ae at the last election, some of the best- known people unable to vote because their namey had been omitted from the list. I A Bangor Councillor's Suggestion. Councilor A. Carter, the newly-elected Ijabouir representati ve for the West Waird, signalised his advent on the Bangor Oity Council with rather a peculiar proposition. We kmow that since ii6 erection the pier is responsible for a deficit each year, which hag5 to be met out of t' has to be met out of the rates. Mr Caxt-er propoaea to popularise" the pier by giv- ing the ratepayers and their families free access on it., but obviously, throwing the pier open to the public would mean oon- o; derob le increase in the cost of up-keep and make the financial position much worro than it is. The proposition needs setting forth in gteater detail to enable the public to grasp its full meaning. At- tempts at "PopLlaa.T'F, ing" need qareful consideration, especially when dealing with one of the trading concerna of a munici- pality.

MISS DOUGLAS PENNANT'S CASE.
MISS DOUGLAS PENNANT'S CASE. I HER DISMISSAL FROM AIR FORCE. I INQUIRY DEMANDED IN COMMONS. I ALLEGED VICTIM OF INTRIGUE. Lord Henry Cavendish-Bentinck, in the House rl Common?, last night, moving to reduce the vote on the Air Estimate^ by 100 men, raised the question of Miss Violet Do-giaa Pennant. M.&j ..uiflas Pennant, he said, believed she via" tlui victim of a conspiracy and intirigue. Douglas Pennant w lk3 not an untried person; el.ic had a long and dis- tinguished career of public service in Wales, and hen- efficiency and ea-pacity lia-d won for herself the affection and esteem of the people of Wales. When Miss Douglas Pennant was asked to take over the Women's Royal Air Force, she actually asked that she might have a month to look round. She found the was up against a clique of corrupt people, NVIIIO wore running the Women's Air Force, and were determined that the Women's Air Force should be run in their own inefficient way or not at all. She was refused all information, and she went to Sin- Godfrey Payne and told h:m that the could not accept the post unless she had his support.She was promised ane would have that support, and that Eiie would have the sole command of the Women's Air Forc-e. Soon after that she was asked to promote five inexperienced women to high and re- sponsible portions. She refused to do ro, and said they must take subordinate pos:- t: one until they had proved their worth. Lcfrd Weir supported her, but this caused discontent and animosity in tie clique. They made it impossible for her in the position she filled. She got messages to say she would soon be out. of the place, and that highly-placed people were deter- mined she tihouid not continue. These people went the length of issuing instruc- tions in her name without her knowledge with the eole reason of malting her posi- tion impo-Tjible. Inciting messages were sent in heir name, of which t'he had not the slightest knowledge. I DISMISSED ON THE SPOT. General Brandcer had only been in com- mand a few days who:! he sent to Miss Douglas Pennant and dismissed her on the spot, bt-M wag dismissed in an extremely summary manner. If they were told things "lad gone mueh more smoothly a: nee her successor took charge it was not the whole truth. When Miss Douglas Pennant took up the poot fhe found the whole Woman's Air Force war, a macs of corruption and intrique, the Whoie service wao in a state of disorganisation. M ifs Douglas Pennant proceeded to put ttiese things right. She secured accom- modation, and in a few weeks she had brained no Ic-,o than 300 women officers. Miss Douglas Pennant was rot dismissed because sne wao inefficient or unpopular. She was dicffir.Esed because fche was not allowed to have a fair chance. She was up against a clique which put every oostacle in her way. She was the victim of malice, intrigue, and conspiracy. Lord Londonderry had i-aiid in tho oilier House that if cnarges were brought an inquiry would be mude. lie (the non. member) brought chafes of corruption and iin- trigue, and ho thought it would be mon- strouja if t/ne promise given in another place could not be given in that House. I NOT ALLOWED '10 HEsiG-V Sir Owen J homas associaetd himself with what had been ta;d by ins liable friend Anyone who had really con- sd-Teci tho and WU4¡ aware o all the f.tcls could came to no odicv oWAiusion than that Miss Doughy, Psnnant had been cruelly treated, hhu had been dismissed it: au infuhlllg jnaiutfer, and ceriaiuly 1 contrary to > cgulations. w iL,.ch provided io.' a inontn's n^iicc being given- 'ihe*<; was llJ i.e.ice given Mus Douglas Pe. nan;, 6ho iiijt given "n lUmiy oi re-u.gmng, aiLiicugn ldl aays picv.ou- y &uu 11atl Kiictered. iivr resigi.^civn vvhicu iciusuU. tone wiig t>egged to go on iv, Bile was doing reaiiy VVCTK.

He bclie\eu aii apology liad been offered oat that wouifi bo adding insuJl to injury. Alter her dismissal .she say/ the Prime Minister< and he oraered an inquiry. The lion membJr lev LuUm m juieu ai,d made a leport, and Jtliss Douglas Pen- nant hed never aeon that report. It was thought that report was lavouruble to Mis* Douglas Pennant, and they had a right to uik lor that rejiorl. 1'1-)' wanted to know t)y whose authority General ii ancker cnsmissed Miss DougLis Per:- nant. It was an extraordinary c-s3; the clhoiala had something to sine id. Tho Air Ministry was not noted for its good man- ners or justice, from whai he heard, and tibey had a right to ask that this matter should bo cons.dcred rj ney had di.-missed Misp Douglas Pennant with a stigma which was intolerable to a lady who had dono much in tho servioo of her country. Sir Robert Thomas said that when Mifls Douglas Pennant was in v'; t.:d to leave hei position of (^omissionvT to tho Welsh insurance Connnit'tce she had hoard that tii-,r(- had been a grcdt deal of disorder in the W ii.A.F., and she was very re- luctant When she akwpto(i she applied herself with her usual ene-gy to her task. Mis» Douglas Pen muni's ^uss to Sir God. irey Payne was the crux of the whole aflair Brig.-General Livingstone, who was in charge of a branch ot the Air Force, immediately io, k exoepciou to it, and warned Mtsa Doug-la Pennant that she would bJ tho dowinaij and break up of the Ai." x1 orce. That wars the beginning 01 malicious iptrigue. One of ti £ e people up aga:nSii Aliss iJougla3 Pennant waa a colonel who had been promoted in one day irom second-lieutenant to lieutenant- coionel. lirig.-Gcneral Seely: Was he?

Let a comni.ttee of the House, drawn from all parties, consider wiietn. ■ judicial inquiry should be held (hear, hear). Mr llisiiani (C.U.. lsJinsrlon, »s.) said that ML-a Doula8 Pcnnant ha? resigned from very committee with which she was connected in WLaies because of the stisrma that had DCCII thru?u UDon her. It was t-air therefore to ask ror an inquiry into the charces that had been made asrainst her. Sr D. Davies (C. U.. Denbigh) supported tno claim for an inquiry. Air T. Davies (C.U.. Cirencester) thought it was only in justice to the Air Force itself mat an inuuirv should be held into this case. -Air Harold Smith (C.U.. Warrington)' said that Dublicity should be siven to any charges that were brought against Miss Douglas Pen- nant. Miss Douglas Pennant demanded that any charges which were brought against tier should be brought in her presence, when yhe could reuly. That was not an uureasontiile re- auest (cheers). In view of that lady's great public services they were entitled to the facts being publicly stated as she demanded I GHNEKAL SKELY S Major-General Seely said he was far away at the time when these episodes took place, and if he had only to choose his own conveni- ence he would y that an inquiry ought to take place. There was not the slightest foundation for the suggestion that anyone ill the Air Ministry said that an inquiry would be awkward. No one had ever suggested to him that an inquiry would be inconvenient. The amendment was negatived without a dI- vision. and the vote was agreed to.

ITRADE REVIVAL AT BANGOR.
I TRADE REVIVAL AT BANGOR. [ II PALACE" TO BE RE- OPENED. I NW BANK POSSIBLE. The dep-ioll caused by the war was accentuated hi Bangor by the wearying tuocession of empty shops in High-street. Simu'ltaneou-ly with the outbreak of war the desei'hicn of High-street commenced, and uTiifartunately some of the premises which "put up the shutters" were among the largest in the eity-a fact whic4i must have told a tale on the rates. But with the advent of the New Year, following 011 the termination of the war, came a re- vival of trade, and inquiries of the pro- party agents m Bangor how tlie.,L- is a remarkable demand for shops, especially in High-street. To all appearances there will soon not be a single empty shop to mar tho appea,ranco of Bango.e principal bin-: 1 ncs^ thorough fare. This welcome re- vival is said to be due to the conning boom in the slate trade. At the bottom of High-street the old Friars Slate Works are to be re-started. Mr Chambers has opened a confectioner's shop nea.r the top of Jam as-street. Mrs Amhro&e Jones intends opening a bu.?a n<? fo. lad'oi' clothing plose l?'y. in that and it is stated that two empty shops that vicinity will diortly be tenanted. The large chop ahnoist opposite the old Work- ingmen's Conservative Club, which has been empty for Be-me years, is to be open- ed as a pork butcher's establishment, and a.j is known, that fine block of buildings hiighar up the street has been converted into a training school for disabled sol- diers. Mtvsr", Robt. Roberts' ft-oros, already very commodious, are to be extended, wad Mr Palferman oha3> taken Menai Bridge Vaults for conversion into a grocery and provision stores. The adjoining premises, formerly occu- pied by Mr Evan Williams, printer, and whid.) have been unoccupied for many years, have been le.od by Mr Seronie, Ixwd-street, Liverpool, and are to be con- verted into a photographic studio. Mr Seronie has also taken the Picture Palace, where extensive alterations are balng made in preparation for the re- opening. Among othctr alterations i.5 a new floor, It will not be surprising if a new bank (rumoured to be Barclay's) is opened in this part of High-street. The grocery stores next to the Market, formerly carried on by :Mes.:q's Lake, are to be re-opened by Mcsers E. B. Jones and Co., who also have another aaop in aiireet. A new pork ohop hae just been opened on the other side of the street. There haa been quite a transformation from the bottom of Lonpobty to But- kelev-pdaee. Mer, "r- Pidgen Bros., piano- forte dealers, have taken over the large premises formerly tenanted by the North Wales Music Company. They 'have ar- ranged the shop on lines followed by well- known pianoforte firms in London. Man- chester, and Liverpool, with generous lighting arrangement:?. A confectioner's Jhop h" been opened next door to the (,wt Inn, and the Lab- I our Exchange Authoritiea have taken an empty ofHoe in Queen's Buildings, while next door a stationery business has been I sta.rted. Mesra Hillier^, of Llandudno, Junction intend carrying on a sweet manu- factory in Arvonia Buildings. It is probable that Bangor is on the threshold of a h.,g trade boom, but a good deal depends npon the developments in the quarries. UnfoftumateJy tihe trade unrest doe.3 not facilitate an eirly start of any dimensions.
