Hughea FiUTy presiding. A long discussion occurred on the question of issuing closing orders in regard to housea at Llanhcllrog and Aberdajon said to be in. sanitary. It was stated that tho tenants had no other houses to go to. The Clerk stated that the Council had re. ceivcd a letter from one of the owners stating that if he could get the houses empty he would repair them. The Rov. T. E. Owen: When we considered the question of erecting workmen's houses, it was said that such houses were not wanted. Mr. D. Roberta: We must have some res. pect to humanity. If the tenants are turned out where can they get other houses? Mr. Nanney Jones pointed out that thera were other insanitary premises in Llanbedrog. Mr. Owen said he did not see why they should have Public Health Acts and pay salaries to their omccrs if the Council did not administer the law. Mr. W. R. Davie-, (Nerin): We must be con- sistent. Here we are dealing with only three insanitary houses, whereas there are score*! of others in the district and wo do not touch them. Mr. W. Williams It is waate of time and money to come here and paos resolutions and not to carry out those resolutions. Mr. Sam Roberts: I propose that we aerve a- closing order on the owner of one of the houses. Mr. W.

Splendid work had b<'en done, and which had been very greatly appreciated, both by the troops and the towna- peopte* In the varlotta centres. Some idea. of its magnitude might be gauged from the fact that over 100,00&lieet.4 of writmg paper and enve!opea had been gIVen away, over 2000 pledges of various kitids had been signed, many thousands of tetters had been posted, &b«ut JBlOO have been deposited in the Savings Bank, about a hun<*en given to the troops, and services had been held each Sunday, which had been very weH atteiided. night th4! rooms were well nUed. and on concerts nights many had been unable to gain admission.

PUBLIC MEETTNG AT BANG OB. Summoned at the instance of the Bangor War Emergency Committee, a puMic meeting was held at Pcnrhyn Hall, Bangor, on Tues- day night in reference to the influence of drink on the output of munitions. The Mayor (Mr. H. J. Williams) presided over a fair attendance, and, in opening the proceeding's, said it was dimcult to know what to do in the present circumstances. He was sure there was no better supporter than himself of tJie pre- sent form of government, but he must admit that he almost envied Russia, where with one strike of the pen the Czar put into force totut prohibition (cheek's). Our King by his nob!e f\amp!e—()oud applause)— had given a, lead to the country by becoming a totai abstainer. There was no doubt that things were very serious and they could not anord to treat the situation lightly. They coutd not stop the sinking' of pa.sseng'er Hhips, the dropping of bo:mbs on undefended towns, the poisoning of we) Is, but they could equip their men with ammunition. Thousands of ou-r men were without rifles owing to drink. "DEVILISH WICKEDNESS." The following letter was read from Princi- pal Sir Harry "I am rorry to say that. I shall be unable to attend the public meeting this evening. I {'¡trnc:'Jtly trust that you witi have a success- ful meeting and that the speakers will bring home to the audience the absolute nece.saity of national org-anisat.ion in every brunch of activity and not merely in the remioval of those hindrances to the production of muni- tion' connected with the drink question that is the immediate object for which the meet- ing' has beeu summoned. The late crowning act of German frightfulness ought to bring hnme to the most apathetic the devilish wictt- ed:t<Ms which wilt be exercised upon the peaceful inhabitants of this land if the Ger- man.. triumph and the no-Ies8 devilish ability and resource which make them so hard to de- feat. It i.s becoming more and more evjdc-nt to any man who has eyes to )jee that we can- not overthrow such an enemy <and nothing' but final and crushing overthrow will be of any use, for he wi!l observe no compact) except by the .scientific concentration on the task of all the national energies. Our own m ember, Mr. Hoyd George. has shewn that he under- stands the tremendous nature of the i.-sues that lie before us and the gigantic enorts for which they call, and it is our plain dutv to do what wo can. hewever little it be, to strengthen hi-; hands.' Dr. H. V. Arnold proposed the nr:it retiolu- tio'i, which wa<" as follows:— 'That this meeting', without wishing at the present time to rai>ie theg<,neral question of teniMrance legislation or to express an opin- ion .M to the details of measures now under the consideration of Parliament, id neverthe- less deeply impressed by the authoritative de- claration-; recently published a« to .the inade- qiiac. y -6 I' clar?ttioit, -t liew at present performed in connection with the supply of munitions and the repair of shipn." Re said Bangor had sent out nearly 1,000 men to the Army and Navy, and they had sa,erihccd everything in the service of the nation. The!5e men stood in danger, partly un&voidable and partly avoidable, bee.) use some of o-ur citizens werg not doing th&ir duty. Anytl'nBg we could do or any <-acrince we make should be gladly made for inem. It was Mr. Doyd George who seiected Bangor to give the meR- sage which !-in, throughout the country, and that wa-; the iir.st opportunity they had to say thy would sunport him and hold up his arms in the discouragements Ite had met. 'p"Y wanted to do something to rouse public opinion. It had not been roused because we had not had the lead from high quarters we had the right to expect. We had heard too much optimistn (hear, hear). It was not true wo were sure of victory; we stood in the great- est danger. It was not true that all was well with this nation. It would be better if the truth Urcre spoken more plainly. Thatwaa what the nation expected fro.m its leaders, not statements which deluded our citizens, mere frothy stimulants. Where were the men to work a courage, the right courage for a nation which was capable of heroic efforts These statements, he heard, caused temporary excitement, and produced the same en'ect as intoxicating drink. "If we onlv had leaders who would Rpenk out and tell us exactly where we etand in our grave peri), that we must nerve ourselves to these risks, to prepare ourselves for diBastel', for disappointment", tor times of suQ'er- iug not yet dreamt of. There is danger of disaster to our ships, because they are not pro- perly repaired, 6"d our soldiers cross the Channel at terribte risk from submarines, because the men ou bo&ni were not fit for the ship's work. Making &H allowances that you please, these things Mre appalling to listen to, amd they repre- sent what have beett facte for six months past, and what has been rTodaimedtothewltoIeworld to the glee and ridicute of our enemy, and to the ahame of our friends. Mr Fern- a raitway workman, seconded, and said he favoured total prohibition. Rev. J. C. Morrice, vicar of St. Mary's, in supporting, eaid some people complained they were over-stating the case. In such a crisis as now faced the country it was better to over- state the case than to understate if (hear, bear). The time had come for them to teM the Govern- ment to do what was best for the nation, and tha nation would support: them. The names he saw on the White Paper issued by the Govern- ment carried weight. He would voluntarily give hatf of what he had saved to any Government that would help to bring about some gigantic scheme to wipe out once ajid for ali this curse (loud cheers). t PLEA FOR CONSCRIPTION. I Canon E.T.Davies proposed: "This meet- ing. believing that the safety cf the nation and the successful prosecution of the war depends upon the willingness of every matt to do his allotted work and to keepl)imse!f emcient, liercby expresses its sa.tisfactiorLtitattheGovern'hienthasrealisedthe gravity of the situation and assures it of its sup- port in allmeasuresnecessary to bringabouttlie highe'it einciency amongst all classes in the prose- cution of the war." In the course of at'ou")ng \Vp!sh speecli Canon Duties pointed out that in Germany everything wa batc-d upon mdttarism; even the conscience of the country was framed on militarism. As to tlwir barbarism so lately Illustrated by the sinking of the Lusitania" there was no Welsh word from David ap Gwiiym to Goronwy Owen which could adequately describe jt. ''(jiod is on our side," shrieked the Germans, but God was not on the aide of bar- barity and sacrilege, but was with freedom and justice (loud cheers). Proceeding, Canon Daviea said he nrmly believed there must be some form of conscription before Great Britain would be successful. King Alfred the Great <oncc said he wanted three kinds of men—"praying men, organising men, and lighting men." They fiarticularlv wanted more fighting men, and lie felt there were in Wales thousands of young men who should join tl)e colours (hear, hear). Placarded about were a number of recruiting posters, such as "If this cap fits you, wear it," and "There isaplaceforyou here." Recruiting m that way was all nonsense. Such posters did not induce men to enlist; the Government must tell the young men they must go before they could hope to defeat Germany (hear, hear). The Rev. Lewis Williams, GIanadda, seconded the resolution, and said it was evident to the whole world that w& cou! not get the best out of any class of men wheu they were under 'the Innuence of drink. The Rev. J. D. Jonc«, "icar of St. Denuol and St. James, propoM\j the, third resoltttion, expres- sing e.<t;-factiu!i. with the Government's desire to enhst the co-operation and support of all parf:c< and interests concerned. He said that it was ne- cessary for the Government to have the support of a.fl parties, and he felt sure they would have it. Atimqofwarwasnott.hetimcforcDti- cism. He had been asked what was the prac- tical use. of holding that meeting. He was not in the sec.rets of the war Emergency Committee, but he came there tru&ung to their judgment and wisdom. It had been euid that this gathering wofdd prove to be a mere temperance meeting. \Vha.t then was its real object? He took it to be this. Tofurt-herthesucceMfi-dprosccutionof the war. He hoped other towns were taking c-hnitar action. If not, it would not be tm- modcst of Bangor to lead the way as it was re- presented by such a distingui-hed Member of the Government as the Chanceilor of the Ex- chequer. They wanted the Government to know that -die country would be behind them in any measures they found it necessary to adopt. They wre bottndto trust the Government. They could also make the Government feel that they expected some strong action to be taken. Why had the need .nisen to stimulate and encourage the Government? Because there was an admit- wd--ètart.age of mef), and because of the inade- quacy of the workjdone in our factories and ship- yarde. It would murder t"ó- &)Low young men from Bangor to face the enemy badly fed or Itiadeqtiately 6"dpplied wit'h the mLmitions of wa.r. 1-wideiitaliy the Vi:r jij- markcd that it ivas to Rttribute too moch of t.heu' troubtps to dTi';k. It wa" Dot true to say that drink ?'a-, the eole or principal <'nu=c of a.ny s!;<jrtge in rji1f or ammunition. Men had gone out to fight who might -have been retained at home. The industries of the country should have been organised a.t an early date. He was dubioua as to the Meosj-ity for total prohibition, but he supposed that restriction of the }\Qur." of sale m the affected areas would meet with general ap- proval throughout the country. Anyhow, what- ever the Government found it necessary to do, would be ha-rtily tupported by every man in that room. Dr. E. 0. Price briefly seconded. Sir He-nry Lewis, in supporting, declared that drink was one of ttio greatest ca.u<ws of in- emciehcy in every <Iepartment of work through- out the country. HcdidnoteayitwtMtheonly but ib was one of the greatest causce. It was the thief of tim, of st'-en.gth. and of moral conviction. Our soldiers could not &dva.nce be- ill some ther some nwn who soaked tl,.einselvef, with drittk, thoughtless of the fato of 0'n-meu at the front. It was only a minority of the workmen who did thj,, but the trouble was that the minority prevented other men from working. Mr De,r,- Ie, !>laking in support of the ivsolii- tic-'), urg'ed tj)at the nation, should wake up at unco ;from. its complacc-ncy, due either to the lureof drink or other cause". They could not be too eorious upon this grea.t que'-tion. I;ffi4ci- ency 61ioLildi be the watchword of the nation. Mr T. J. \YiHiafII,1Hoved att additiona.1 re solution in order, Iw .said, to test the feeling of the meeting. It was as follows:—That when the Government consider; it. to enact general compulsory prohibition during the war, with due regard to material iutere<>t.s. thi; meet- ing pledges itse!f to support them loyally in stieh action.

VILLAGE INDUSTRIES1
VILLAGE INDUSTRIES. 1 VALE OF CLWYD TOYS. ARTISTIC CSES OF WELSH SLATE. Thoge who have travelled abroad—particularly In Germany and Austria—witi know that the peasantry engage to a very considerable extent in the production of numerous articles of the domestic industries order, winch find a ready market in our own land, ill the allll elsewhere. These articles cornpri'-e all sorts of toys, fancy leather work, baskets, w'ood-(aivh)g, metal-work, embroidery, etc. T'i)ere is no rea- son to suppose that the workers In our rural dis- tricts ara interior in native ability to those abroad; but t.he opportunity has hitherto been lacking to them. It was a wise and praiseworthy move, there- fore, which prompted .Mr Jessc Coltings (the president), Mr Bevi))e Stanier (the chairman), Mr Ernest J:rd'ne, Mr Basil Peto, Sir R. Pur- vis, and the other members of the Executive Committee of the Rura) League to see what could be done to provide this opportunity. As a fact, a serious attempt is now being made by this or- ganisation to organise on a national scale our v illage industries, and the response to the Ex- ecutive's endeavours is. wa understand, of the most encouraging character. There is no phiian- thropy about the movement; it is, in fact, in- tended that these industries shall be placed on a purely commercial basis, and tins is perhaps one of the most {{ratifying features about the whole movement. At the Board of Trade Fair, which opened on Monday, and closes on May 21st, a. large and representative coilection of goods of the character indicated has been got together, and they ore exhibited at Stand H 71, in the galtcry at the Agricultural Hal), London. The fair is for the Trade; although the public at large w Hi on the last two also be ahle to gain It is claimed for the bulk of the particular vil- lage productions under notice that they are, at the prices, superior to anything we have been accustomed to receive from the peasantry of enemy countries; in fact, tliat they arc in some cases "too good," to use a coHoqu'al expression. That, however, is a virtue. For instance, the fancy leather-work—some of the original speci- mens of which have found a home in Bucking- ham Palace—is all done by hand, whereas the fancy leather-work from abroad placed upon our market is for the most part machined The two kinds of articles cannot be compared, and any- one seeing them vvould at ones perceive that those persons in cur country who can turn out such beautiful hand-made work will be able, with even greater ease, to turn out what is largely a machined article. Again, there are some bEauti- fuJ" fans and other art 'c le-i made of aste pieces of slate by Welsh (juarrymen in their spare time. It is believed that there is nothing on the British market to touch them; and yet, what is required to make more p0pul;;r is merely an orgMlisa60n which shall make that its spe- cial bllillf>R8. Each of the fans in question is made up of from 60 to 80 pieces of slate, all most neatly ornamented and tilltitTmteiyT)Iueed together in an amaxingty artistic fashion. the wooden both of an i rig(:ii iotia- ly itnk%j,,it' g and useful a Lhrisfmas tree nt)?d with all sorts of brightly plumaged birds, are executed in such a charming and thorotgh manner that even a. novice would in- stantly recognise the high "degree of ability and even talent which the maker;; of the toys- rura! people—possess. A large number of these wooden toys are also Welsh; and they are, without any question, superbly executed, particularly the painting and fretwork parts. Other toys are from Shropshire, Bedfordshire, Derbyshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, etc. Those interested in wood carving would find ex- cellent specimens of tables, book racks, pa.ne!s, etc., made by village labourers in Bucks, Surrey, etc. and there is also a useful and interp!?tmg variety of hammered metal-work articles done by agricultural labourers in Cambridgeshire. Nume- rous other .products in the embroidery, mat, rug, etc., lines w'ou!d have been exhibited, but the Board of Trade, either for want of space or some other reason, unfortunately excluded anything in the nature of woollen and textile fabrics irom the exhibition. There are also numerous speci- mens of useful and fancy basket?, etc., from Devonshire and Dorset.
