By PHILLIP EVERETT

from Lloyd George to the humDless Woih- ing man at Carnarvon, is looking forward to the event with great expectations, prop ably not so much because very much im- portance is attributed to the ceremony itself as because of the prosperity Whlcn it is hoped will follow in its wake. The mediaeval ceremony promises to bring to Wales a greater number or wealthy American visitors than ever De- fore and Welshmen feel sure that most of these will be so charmed with the great natural beauties that they will repeat | their visit and include 1t in their annual round of excursions, and thus give the impulse to a great invasion of wealthy l tourists leaving behind them a trail of golden dollars.
 | The government is doing everything to make the ceremony of the investiture an imposing one, and the planned naval re- view will almost be as impressive as the coronation review at Spithead. It is intended that the whole of the Dreadnaught battleships and cruisers In the home fleet shall anchor in Carnarvon bay, and that torpedo boat destroyers and possibly submarines shall take up posi- tions in the River Seignt, which runs u1- der the shadow of the grey castle walls. These vessels will act as escort to the lroyal yacht, on which the king and queen will stay at Hollyhead on the night be- fore the investiture of their son.
 At low estimate 150,00O visitors are ex- pected to take part in the celebration. Nine thousand people will be accommo- dated with seats on grandstands which are now being erected within the ruins of the old castle and at least 5000 people will be able to see the presentation of the prince from Queen Eleanor's gateway.
 Many additional thousands will watch the royal procession through more than two miles of road between Griffiths s Crossing, where the king and queen and Prince of Wales will land from the royal yacht, to the market square, on which the main portions of the castle about. A Sunderland vicar has been told by his choir not to join so vigorously in the singing as they claim it is detrimental to the service. The vicar refuses to discuss the matter, which will be raised at con- gregational meeting later
 The choir, like the vicar personally, but they cannot stand his singing.
 One day the chairmaster said to him plaintively, ''You are quite spelling the boys, sir.'
 Tn what way?" asked the astounded vicar.
 You sing too loud," said the choir master, keep it down, siri Keep it down.'
 The vicar struggled manfully for a few weeks. But one day he forgot, and let himself go, and the chormaster nearly wept.
 It seems that the vicar is constantly forgetting himself, so the choir have been forced to send to him an u1timatum.
 The affnrtS of the admiralty pcta hliSb a reserve of 300 trained fishermen at Grimsby to man a fleet of nine-sweeping trawlers for special war service, have been failure.
 May 22 has been fixed as the date for in- augurating the training the two cruisers had been ordered to accompany the six government trawers to Grimsby for the training period, but up to the present there are only il men enrolled for service, a 12th being rejected on medical examina tion for defective eyesight The volun- teers are not sufficient in number to form one complete crew.
 In the first instance Grimsby officials re- ceived about 100 applications from fisher men to serve, but since the publication of details of service they have shown no disposition to join, chiefly on grounds that their patriotism is to be secured at too great a personal cost without sufficient compensation for such admitted risky work as sweeping the seas for subma- rine mines. The annual training, they claim, would cause them to lose their work, possibly for many weeks, owing to the great number of unemployed fisher men ready to take their places, while they would receive less pay than when fishing The shippers have absolutely declined to be associated with the scheme, owing to h, a by is that if the interest of the shippers were secured the success of the scheme would be assured.
