VALE OF CLWYD TOYS. I
VALE OF CLWYD TOYS. A PROGRESSIVE VILLAGE INDUSTRY. I EXHIBITION AND SALE AT BAGOR. A fitting a-dj unct to the National Eisteddfod at Bangor this week is the exhibition and sale of Vale of Clwyd toys, held in the Town Hall, under the direction of Miss Mary He-at-on, of Trefnant, the honorary secretary of the move- ment which has made remarkable progress einoe f rts initiation. Among the numerous ir.terc-jtinj specimens of handiwork was a model of tiio Gor- sodd, which was much admired by ail who visi- 1 ted the exhibition. Misa Heaton, whose bardic ULme is "Mair Hettwn," was assisted by Miss M?ta Jones, both ladies appearing in Welsh costumes. So much has been done of iato years both in jrc- L tiving the old home industries and creating new I jnei-s, that it may interest our readers to hear of the i Trefnant Cottage Industry. The making of toys uas been in fashion ever since children came to tho world, and in the old days, in the playtime of the world (before machinery did away with much originality and individuality) men would express themselves and their quaint and fanciful ideas in the making of toys for their children. In January, of 1909, the idea of reviving the old tinted toys occurred to Mi-a Mary Htsaton, as a moans of giving employment and interest to the w orking men of Treinant, in the winter evenmg3, Hid sho applied to the County Technical Com- mittee, who gave her a grant to pay a teacher. Edward Jones, the wood carver of Trefnant, ea- V-red enthusiastically into all her plans, ajid gave i-Ir valuable help in time and work. Edward one-i held classes in the village, which created a; -t-at interest, and Miss Heaton was able to sell lAe toys for £ 3 15s, which sum was divided imongst the workers. As the toys had proved saleable Mies Heaton < lought, if properly developed, the industry would I rove a permanent beneht to the unemployed, particularly in oases where they were incapaci- tated from l hard work bv ill-health and fr(yrlii other causes. During the winter of 1910 classes •vere held at Trefnant, St. Asaph, and Cefn, and i/ore men learnt the craft; up to this time, the tvys had been I)altited bv the men, but this art vas beyond their powers; and in April, 1910, iliss Mcta Jones came to Trefnant to superin- tend the painting and to design new toys. A new era now began; her primitive studio was in the tiny two-roomed cottage vued by Edward Jones as a workshop; and there, in the midest of L;,s stores of timber and wood, she had her chair -ii-Li table. As the work increased, cupboards were needed to hold the toys, and the whe-te room ivaa taken, and later on the other room was iecurcd for a workshop for the men, and more ady artiats were enlisted to work under Miea fcteta Jones; and now the little cottage, repaired lad improved, became the busy centre of an in- dustry. In the winter of 1911-1912 classes were held at J'refnant, Cefn, Llandyrnog, and Henllan, and tcvnty men learnt toy-making. Between Octo- ber and April, 6358 toys were made in the oot- tages. In four or five cases men were able to .tarn enough to support their families during tem- I-orary unemployment. The Countesi of Dundonald in its early days fcad consented to be president of the Industry, ind she, with other kind friends, provided a workin.g capital of 9205, and others gave help in iime and work. Some of the toy makers' wives nave told Mies Heaton what a boon the industry 'A and that soinetimes their husbands will set Snide the money for the children's boots. Since f012 about J6577 worth of toys have been bold, .ad £ 292 paid in wages. TOYS SOLD IN DISTANT LANDS. The toys have found their way to all parts of the world!; to Canada, the United States, Pata- •onia, the Stra.its Settlements, India (the Ddraig »«och has been used .for menu sta-nds at the St. I .)avid's Day dinner in Calcutta), China, Australia, South Africa, Egypt, and to many European sountrie?, even to Germany! They are gold on board the "Celtic," where one of their purchasers was Princess David of Kawanakoa, Honolulu. The toys were also sold at the Welsh industry depots, in London, LLandrindod, and Cardiff (where the Queen bought some); also at shops in Bettwsyooed, Llandudno, Rhyl, Bala, Carnarvon, Abergavenny, and Towyn, in Shrewsbury, Ches- ter, Manchester, Folkestone, and Nottingham. A vinall depot has been etarted at Buenos Ayres, td requests have come from Brazil and Dur- in to know if it would be possible to supply toys Dut there. The London and Wiliesdcn County Councils have placed them on their requisition lieta am prizes and models in their schools. The Eisteddfod Committee allowed stalls at their ex- hibition, and to show their appreciation of Mies Heaton's enterprise they made her in 1912 an uonorary bird. Much of the success of the industry is due to "he energy and ent-huslasiii of its foundress, which gains the devotion of her fellow workers; her boundless hopefulness hag so far carried them through all their difficulties. The president of the induetry, the (Jounteag of Dundonald, has done much to encourage and help it on. She has given prizes to the different clasecs, thus foster- Lng amongst the men a healrhy competition which makes for good workmanship and the pro- gress of the enterprise. WELSH IN CHARACTER. As it is a Welsh industry the toys are mostly of » Welsh character, and represent events in the national life. A notable example of this is the model of the Gorsedd, or assembly of the Bards and Druide. The model is a miniature produc- tion of extraordinary fidelity and ooauty of this nost ancient ceremony. Ail the chief figures ore portraits, and all have been painted by Misa fcleta Jones, as was also the excellent model of lite choir which sang at the Investiture of the "rinoe of Wales at Carnarvon. Miss Heaton dopes in time to illustrate many of the old Welsh legends, fairy tales, and nursery rhymes in this way. Since the winter of 1911-1912 there have been no classes, and the work has been done by the men who had learnt during the previous winters. The discontinuance of the classes, d-ue to the inability of the education authority to give a grant to a class which is industrial and not efka- cational, was a disappointment to many. Mis3 Mary Heaton hopes this resolution may be over- come. In the meantime, the industry grows a.nd ".irospers more than ever. Fourteen lady artists are painting, the work being in many cases sent by poet. NEW WORKSHOP. It now became necessary to build a new work- shop. A site was generously given by Mr Jones, of Llannerch, an,J the new buildings were com- pleted by Easter, 1914. The cost of this was originally intended to be defrayed by a bazaar, which, owing to unforeseen circumstance*, unfor- tunately bad to be abandoned. This failure to clear off the debt, together with the absence of exhibitions, and loss of summer sa Ie;, owing to the war, placed the industry in great financial difficulties, and if it had not been for the unsel- fish and loyal help of the staff at this critical junc- ture the industry could never have survived. However, by October things began to improve, a i-, to iml)rove, owing to the strenuous efforts of Miss Mary Heaton, who visited and procured orders from various large firms in London, Manchester and Liverpool. The secretarial d-tities at this time were extremely heavy. Innumerable urgent ap- peals came from all parts requesting help and ad- vice in starting- and organising similar enterprises. ShortJy before Christmas the industry was greatly encouraged by a visit from Messrs D-erry and Toms' buyer, who placed a large order (returning again in the Spring to give another), and. from that time till Christmas orders were so numerous it was difficult to cope with them. But in the background loomed the debt on the new workshop, for as yet only a portion had been pfiid for. However, in February "The Rural League," hearing of the enterprise, showed their sympathy a.nd approval of it by generously clear- ing the remainder of the debt, presenting- machin- cry, and offering further help in the future de- velopment of the industry, which now worka un- der their auspices, and the toy? are now on view at the Rural League Offices, 21, Surrey, Strand, where buyers and others can inspect them. HEKTNG DISABLED SOLDIERS AND I SAILORS. Miss Ma.ry Heaton's great wish to help dis- abled soldiers and sailors is likely to be speedily fulfilled, owing to the generosity of Captain Tate, Poof Park, Ruthin, who has patriotically offered his hunting lodge in Trefnant village until the end'of the war for the use of disabled eokliers and sailors, furnishing and preparing it for their use. It now depends on the public to show their patriotic eympathy by purchasing toys from tne Vale of Clwyd indiu-stry, and so not only encour- age "home handicrafts/' but also help those who have made such noble and great sacrifice for their oountry.

THE WELSH GUARDS. 1
THE WELSH GUARDS. 1 I KING PRESENTS COLOURS. t TRIBUTE TO LOYAL AND GALLANT I WALES. 'i Tho King presented colours to the newly- formed Welsh Guards, on Tuesday afternoon, at Buckingham Palace. Large crowds watched the march of the Guards, played by the band of the Grenadier Guards, to the Palace, and loudly cheered the newly-consecrated colours when the regiment reappeared. Lieutenant-Colonel W. Murray Threipland was in command of the battalion till the ceremony began, when Lord Harlech, colonel-in-chief, took command. The battalion paraded on the lawn in front of the west terrace, a smart body of men. They formed up in three sides of a square with the piled drums of the regiment in the centre and the sheathed colours of the regiment laid across them. The King appeared wearing the khaki uniform of a field-marshal, with him Lord Kitchener andr Sir Francis Lloyd, also in khaki. Tho Queen, Prince George, Queen Alexandra, and Princess Victoria were there, and Mr Lloyd George was a conspicuous member of a small band of civilians. The solemn ceremony of consecration by the Bishop of St. Asaph was inspired by the Welsh National Anthem ("Land of Our Fathers") and a Welsh glee, "Ton y Botel," sung by 150 trained men of the regiment in perfect harmony. The King presented the colours to two sub- alterns, the senior and junior of the leading com- pany, the Prince of Wales'. His own colour he gave to the senior subaltern, and the regimental to the junior. Immediately afterwards the thun- der clouds, rolling down from the north, burst with a terrific crash and the rain fell in a de- luge. Not a soldier moved, neither did the King nor Lord Kitchener. The ceremony went on its or- dered course, although within a few minutes every officer and man from the King downwards was drenched to the skin. Mr Lloyd George had an umbrella. I THE KING S PRIDE IN HIS NEW GUARDS. To the accompaniment of angry rolls of tlllm- der, the King made the following speech to the t roops Colonel Threipland, oiffcers, non-commissioned officers, and nwn of the Welsh Guards, I am proud to think that it has been possible to add to my Guards a regiment raised in the Princi- pality of Wales. I am glad to be able to see you on parade to-day and as your colonel-in-chicf to hand these colours to the regiment before it goes on active service. It was with a special pleasure that I approved the creation of the Prince cf Wales' compa.ny in your battalion, and that my eldest son should in this way be identified with the regiment. To-day the colours bear no names of battles fought or of victories won. Your noble deeds in the coming days will be inscribed upon them. In committing the colours to your care I know that you will look up to them and prove your- selves true sons of loyal and gallant Wales and worthy of the glorious traditions of the Brigade of Guards. 1 wish you God-speed. May all pos- sible success attend you. With the thunder still growling and the rain falling heavily, Lieut.-Colonel Murray Threipland replied: I beg respectfully to express to your Majesty our great sense of gratitude for the honour your Majesty has conferred on us in presenting us to-day with our colours. Your Majesty's speech will for ever remain in the minds of Welshmen, and be a most valuable record in the history of the regiment. "The further honour which your Majesty has sanctioned in allowing us to call our first com- pany the Prince of ales' Company has been deeply appreciated by all ranks of the regiment. This battalion and this regiment, your Majesty may rest assured, when we go To the front we shall strain every nerve to maintain the great reputation which has already been earned by the other battalions of the Brigade of Guards." Three ringing cheers were given for the King, and the regiment marched back to barracks be- hind its own fife and drum hand, proudly carry- ing their new colours home.

The Surveyor said memibers were not dis- qualified unless their seata were declared vacant. It was decided that the Solicitor to the Trust should look up the matter and report to the next meeting.
IWELSH LANGUAGE SCHOOL.I
I WELSH LANGUAGE SCHOOL. ( Annual Session at Pwllheli. The thirteenth annuial Summer School of the Welsh Language fiooiety commenced on Monday at Pwllheli County School, which draws students from all parts of the Principality. The object of the school, which will la,t for fourteen daye, is to provide teachers in secondary tuid primary schools, and other students, with a knowled ge of the construction, grammar, and literature of the Welt-ih language and to suggest methods of teach- ing Welsh suitable for schools. Mr E. T. John, M.P., who paid a brief h";t. on Monday, in a short address stated that he appre- ciated the object of the society, and stated, that the value of linguistic studies, especially of Welsh, was quite necessary to Welsh teachers. The teaching of the national language had a recognised place in the Welsh system of education, and the teachers ought to have the necessary training to enable them to cope effectively with the demands of the education authorities in that respect. Lectures were delivered on Monday on differ- ent aspects of Welsh history by Mr S. J. EVaft^ M.A., Llangefni, and Mr H. T. Evans, M.A., Cardiff. In the evening the students were wcloomed on behalf of the Pwllheli Town Council by Dr. Jones Bv-ang (Mayor) anil Mr Evan R, Davie* (town oterk)- In lecturing on Tuesday on the direct method of language teaching, Mr H. Ho wells, head- master, Trettfchv, stated that increased interest fri the teaching of Wels-h was the result of the mp tablishment of the university colleges of Wales and the paSTIng of the Intermediate Education Act. Commercial travellers were neceaaa/ry to sell goods in other countries, and after the pre- sent terrible war was over he anticipated that in a few years a big inorease in manufactured goodfei exported from this oountry would ooour, and it was the duty of educationists to see that the _in- g-ui«uc trairling of ouir young people was carried on eo that they might serve to introduce the ar- ticles manufactured into other lands. He ven- tured to say that in France and Belgium the English langii4we would secure a much higher posi. tion than had hitherto been given to it, and tha4 the German would be ousted.

Hughes Parry. On the motion of the Chairman, a io? of condolence was passed with Mr Evan Jones, Rhiw, on the death of bis mother. BAIN WATER DAMAGING HIGHWAY. Inspector Henry Williams said that a drain, for conveying1 water under the highway at Edeym became clogged at times, and the rain water flowed down the adjoining field and into the main road, causing1 serious daanage to the latter. He believed that the cost of reconstructing the drain would be far leias tba.n ,the cost frequently incurred in re- pairing the road. The Council instructed Mr Williams to do what he considered necessary in the matter. I ABERfcOCII POLICE STATION. With regard to certain improvements which the Sanitary Inspector recommended should bo done at Abersoeh Police Staion, the Clerk stated that the County Surveyor had pro- mised that the neccssary work would be car- ried out without delav. A COMPLAINT PROM TREVOR, T -inspector ± arry reported that tho gewer under Trevor chap-el and chapel house was clogged, and that the water filled the court- yards of the chapel, and the house. He asked for instructions from the Council as to what course to adopt. Mr J. T. Jones said that it was the duty of the trustees of the buildings to repair tho sewer. WORKMEN'S DWELLINGS. lne Clerk said that he had received i re, ply fiom the Local Government Board to his letter asking the Board, in view of the fact that at the present time the proposal to erect workmen's house., in the district would cost much more owing to the increased price of buildin.g- materials, whether they would sanc- tion idic Council erecting bungalows, which would cost much less, and grant permission to the Council to raise a loan to build the bungalows? The Board, in their reply, said that they would consider such a scheme if the bungalows were eomi-permanemfc and con- structed of materials mentioned, but they could not assent to any loan bCing raised at present for carrying out tho schema IV' EDIC A L O r- MEDICAL OFFICER'S REPORT. It was stated by the Clerk that the Medical Officer's annual report- had come to hand, and that Dr. Owen wanted the Council to bave it printed. N, Ir J. Joaes: We do not want it printed We get a summary of it in the Joint Sani- tary Committee's annual report, and that in quite enough for tis. HOUSES OFFERED TO THE COUNCIL. liie owners of certain houses at Llanbedrog which had been d?ined insanitary, offered ih&m for sale to the Cbunpii- two for ?15 each, and one with half an acre of land for Jl 50. The offer was referred to a deputation who would visit the properties and report thereon. r WATER SUPPLY. The txmncil decided to carry out the work necessary to protect the wells at Llanbedroo- against any possibility of contamination by surface water. by It was reported that a sainp1^ of water from a well which partly supplied Bottwnog had been analysed and found satisfactory* The Inspector, in accordance with the Council's instructions, had inspected the source of w ater at Bodwrdda, from which it was thought Nrat-er could bo got to supply A berdaron, but lie had found that the supply would be inadequate. He, however, thought a sufficient supply could be got from elsewhere on the same land. A letter was received from Lhtnnor Parish Council, asking that the we>ll which supplied the villagers with water should be protected from pos- sibility of contamination. As there was some doubt as to the ownership orthe we- H, the clerk wa.9 req-tieeted to make enouiri^s BUILDING PLANS. inspector Tltrner reported that the plans of new cottages to be built at Tydwcilrog by Mr3 Wynne-Finch were all right, but the committee refused to adopt them because the drains were not in accordance with the bye-laws. Mr Bovill, the agent, said in a letter that the drains were the same as thoae approved of in Anglejev and Bangor; but if the Council objected to them he was prepared to carry out the inspector's in- structions, if the plana were approved. He and the inspector could discuss the matter after. Mr J. Pierce (chairman of the Sanitarv Com- mittee) proposed that the plans be not approved. Mr W. R. Davies, Nevin: These houses are model cottages, a:iid we should not hinder Mrs Wynne-Finch in her work, especially as so much has been Flaid here about the lack of proper hous- ing accommodation in Lieyn. I move that we adopt the plans on the conditions mentioned in Mr Bovill'e letter. Mr JR.. O. Roberts eecond-ed. The Clerk: But you cannot adopt plans "on conditions." You must eithc-r adopt them without any condition or reject them. After further discussion it was decided to reject the plans. I ABERDARON SEWERAGE WORKS. The Rev. T. E. Owen asked Inspector Turner if he had interviewed Aberdaron landlords with the view of getting t.hei.r co-operation to carry out a new system of sewerage for the village?

CAMBRIAN COAST JOTTINGS.
CAMBRIAN COAST JOTTINGS. I (By R. o Fadog.) I An effort is to be made to improve the attrac- tiveness of South Beach, Pwllheli. The waste land between the Manor and the Hotel, and beyond the latter are, I understand, to be utilised as Recreation Grounds. I am told that an Improvement Society has been formed, and that they have approached the Corporation with the view of getting a lease of the land referred to, and that the Corporation are ready to meet them in every possible way. < I am afraid that there is not much prospect of musical entertainments being held in the Happy Valley during the remainder of the Season. The company who took a lease of the ground for the season soon found that the undertaking would not be a success, and they left, the Council agree- ing to accept a surrender of the lease. Possibly it would have been better if the entertainments were started later on in the season than they were, as in the earlier weeks visitors had not arrived in sufficient numbers to ensure good pat- ronage. < Pwllheli Corporation are to be heartily con- gratulated' upon the financial success of their Cinema. They realised over £ 90 clear profit last quarter. The Cinema is very well managed, and the pictures shown are interesting and at- tractive. < Unfortunately the Pwllheli Y.M.C.A. branch got into debt during the stay of the soldiers in the town. As there is no doubt as to the good the Association has done amongst the soldiers, all those persona who appreciate such excellent work can best show their approval by subscribing to the funds of the Association. The Local Government Board have refused their sanction to the Glaslyn and Lleyn Rural Councils, and to the Criccieth and Portmadoc Urban Councils to borrow money to carry out improvement schemes they had on hand, but the Board have given their sanction to Pwllheli Town Council to borrow over L2000 to enable them to finish the parade extension scheme. The Portmadoc sewerage scheme was under considera- tion for some years, and when the Council were at last ready to carry out an amended scheme, which would cost much less than the original one, they were told that, no loan for the work could be sanctioned for the present. 0 0 The number of visitors along the cost is not anything like last year. Lancastrians are parti- cularly absent. Most of the visitors appear to be coming to the district for the first time.
