To the Editor of the Kington Times . Sir , May I ask you to allow me a small space for a few remarks in answer to Mr. Preece's letter in your last issue . When first approached for the use of the Burton Hall on Easter Monday for a concert in aid of St. Dunstan's Hostel I at once pointed out that arrangements had been in progress for some time to hold a dance on that date in aid of the PRESTEIGN FOOD CONTROL COMMITTEE .

Arthur , Mr. J. Powell , Mr. G. W. Preece , Mr. A. E. Meredith , together with the Executive Officer ( Mr. F. L. Green ) , and the Inspector ( Mr. J. J. Griffiths ) . The Press being present , the Rev. H. L. Kewley asked the Chairman if they could have some resolution or instruction as to whether the Press was to be admitted . The Chairman asked what was the wish of the Committee , whether their proceedings should be in Committee or whether they should admit the Press . The Rev. H. L. Kewley said he was of the that not be Transfer of Business . Great Drapery Sale AT JOSEPH A. COLE'S .

They had a good deal of business which could be dis- cussed in committee in a friendly and amicable way , but if put into cold print it looked very different . He proposed that the Press be not admitted . Mrs. A. Howard Smith seconded . She cer- tainly thought the work there was of a private nature and that it would be entirely wrong to have the representatives of the Press present . Mr. William Davies moved as an amendment Red Cross Funds , consequently the Hall that the Press be admitted .

SCHEME IN FORCE BY MARCH 25 . The Ministry of Food forwards the following for publication : - In accordance with representations made to him from many parts of the country , Lord Rhondda has decided that meat rationing on the lines of the scheme about to be brought into force in London and the Home Counties should be applied generally throughout Great Britain by March 25. In London and the Home Counties the scheme will come into operation on February 25 as already arranged , and in certain other parts of the country a similar scheme is being put into force in the early part of March . A number of Committees already have local registration or rationing schemes in force for meat , which have abolished or diminished All queues . committees in Lord Rhondda is selling several pedigree Hereford breed bulls for export to South Africa . As our readers doubtless know Lord . Rhondda has succeeded in building up at Llan- wern Park , one of the largest and finest herds of pedigree Herefords in the world .

He spoke to defendant and asked him where he got it from and he Witness said " I suppose you know you have said " Out there " pointing to the highway . no right to that stone . Which belongs to the Rural District Council ? " He replied " I know that , but they are doing no good there and I Witness want a few to put on the path . " then advised him to put the stone back as they were not his . On the morning of the 10th As there is great danger to those who are compelled to go about at night I should like to make suggestion to the Council . Now what I think they could do is to have , say 12 or more lamps lighted at dusk at the places where they are most needed and kept lighted until 9.30 p.m. and then put out . That would . I believe , meet the difficulty and would not be much expense either , and I am quite sure that it would be a real boon to the inhabi- tants . On enquiring why such a on . state of things existed , I was told that the town was kept in darkness as a precaution against air raids . Now , sir , as you are well aware , the air raids which have taken place ( which I am sure we all deplore ) have generally taken place after the time I suggest the lamps should be ex- tinguished , but more often on moonlight nights need to when of course there would be no light them , nor also when the days get longer . I do hope , sir , for the sake of those who have to go about the town after it is dark if I am not at present living in Kington I am that this suggestion will be acted upon because naturally as an old native very inter ested in the welfare of the town and those who live in it .
