679 PEOPLE

LOSE HOMES

Haverfordwest, April 20.*.**

AMROTH a pretty little Pembrokeshire village of 679 people, is to be abandoned to the mercy of the sea.. Its dcom was pronounced by the county council roads com- mittee at Haverfordwest last month.

The villagers must lose their homes. According to the clerk of the council (Mr. R. A. Wheatley), replying to a councillor, they can claim no compensation.

The Pembrokeshire County Conn-i cil has already spent several then- sand pounds on sen defence there to protect the county rond which runs through the vilinge and nefs as a breakwater.

The clerk explained that their consulting engineers had told them. that about £30,000 was necessary to provide adequate defence works for the village.

"WASTE OF MONEY" The county counell sub-committve recommend that no further expen- diture should be incurred on the roads beyond surface maintenance.

The chairman, Mr.

V. J. Johns: "We are told it will be an absolute waste of money. Our new rond is almost washed away.”

"We were told many years ago." declared Alderman B. G. Llewellyn, of Fishguard, "that It would be better to move the whole village then go to the expense of providing defence works."

Divided Fleet Blunder

LESSON OF THE RAID ON SCARBOROUGH

The battleship is the backbone of naval strength, and is likely to remain so. Battleships must! always be able to concentrate in order to oppose any challenge to their supremacy.

These are the conclusions of Commander John Creswell in his book, "Naval Warfare.”

Writing of the mistake of dividing a battle fleet without adequate reason, Commander} Creswell points out that, on the occasion of the Scarborough Major R. C. Barclay, of Mance-raid. a single battle squadron bier: When the rond KoеR the was sent in support of our battle village will go with it.”
