A DISAPPOINTMENT, The Trust records one dis appointment-that its Seven Sis- tera scheme has not yet borne full fruit. The effect of recent critic- irm is indicated by its announce- ment that Crowlink Valley is not likely again to be used as a camp- ing ground and by the appointment ut a local management committee.

The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings is stationary as to membership, and its subscrip- tions are down. This is unfortun- ale, for the Society has in recent 3 received increasing support. It has been handicapped, too, by the! Wing of Mr. A. R. Powys, its defcted secretary.. A suitable in- clease in its membership and revenue would no doubt, advance the complete recovery which is to be wished for them. In these days there is no society with better claims to support.
