On his motion it was decided to look into the legal position and dis-cuss the matter at a future meet-ing.

It was further pointed out by the °wilier that about they ear 1920, one of the two rooms intended to be filled with statues was taken over for the establishment of a col-lection of exhibits from the South Sea Islands, purchases by the Trustees for £1,250 and, the collec-tion of British birds.

lit his address, the Vicar said that "The few won the victory because they had faith in ectod and their cause. History had shown that it was always the few who had won great victories and God had not always been on the side of the big battalions.

"The decisive battle between goad and evil was not yet over, it was still being fought, on the one sale the few, and on the other side the many. • The outward expression of the war against evil was manifest in Korea -mail strikes in industry.

"Cut - throat ' competition and selfishness of the wicked heart was another expression of war between good and evil.

"The "few" who secured the victory ten years ago had faith in their machines and in their weapons. Have we the same faith in the cause of Jesus Christ and can we use our weapons to combat evil?

"alley did not die so that we could have more money and have a real good time. Their sacrificial death was not for that neither was the •blool of Christ sacrificed except that we should use our weapons and have the victory of the few over the many. Christ, has con-quered sin and death and calls on us to follow him to the very end."

After the service the parade re-assembled and marched to the Bowes Museum Park where a wreath inscribed "We salute the memory of the glorious few and all service men who made the supreme sacrifice," was put on the war memorial on behalf of the R.A.F.A. by Mr J. M. Jones (branch chairman) and on behalf of the British Legion inscribed "We will not tweak faith with ye" by Mr R. Simpson.

Two hundred men of the R.A.E.

Regiment, Catterick, under Squad ron Leader M. Meehan. headed a procession from Richmond Town Hall on Sunday afternoon to St. Mary's Parish Church on the occa- sion of Battle of Britain Sunday.

TO OUR READERS AND DISTRIBUTORS.

We deeply regret the inconven-ience caused by the late arrival of last week's Teesdale Mercury due to a major mechanical breakdown, which we hope 'should not occur again.

alr J. Johnson. Hexham. on be- half of the judges. mentioned that the Swaledale Sheep Breeders' Ass- ociation was the oldest of its kind in the country. The Daiesmen were pithaters of agriculture. and if they continued to breed good stock there would always be a free and open market for it.

The Chairman. Mr C. Littlefair. said that the finest thing in the Society was the spirit of unity and because of that they were steadily making headway. He hoped to see them all coming to the show for many years to come.

Awards .wire:-

\V. I. Watson. chairman of the Committee. attended and gave evi-dence. The application for total exemption failed. but au assess-ment of £250 gross value with a rateable value of £205 Was allowed. This compares with 2691 rateable value on the old assessment and a saving of about 2350 per annum.

The Trustees decided to place on record their appreciatio n of Col. Wstson's part in the negotiations for exemption of rates.

A letter front the legal branch of the Ministry of Education was read which pointed out that the interest of the peopia of Beamed Castle in the Museum was of a nun-technical nature and that the reading of the last clause in the codicil to Mrs Bowes' will did not imply that the alliseum and Park were a gift to the town.

The Trustees were also delighted to hear from Mr F. Wilkinson a report of the open-air children's concert given by " The Commercial Artistes " which had I•esuited in the :411111 of £2 14s. eyds being handed over to " The Frie4 of the Ifuseum."

The committees uncler the general chairmanship of Col. Gullick, the secretary Mr T. Beck-with, the treasurer Mr C. B.

If the rain on the last day had held off longer an even greater financial and social success would have been achieved.

Conferences, Etc.

On the 20th June the Curator attended an evening party at Hert-ford House to meet their 1Majesties: He also attended the annual confer-ence of the Museums Association at Aberdeen and part of the Inter-national Conference of Museums held in London under the auspices of U.N.E.S.C.O.
