national form of service for broadcast wor- shippers is to be proposed at the next Church Assembly.

Events of the past few weeks have made Church leaders realise the power of the B.B.C., and now a deter- mined effort is to be made to capitalise the nation-wide appeal of broadcasting.

Severe opposition to the proposal will be led by the Bishop of Durham, whose recent objection to the Church being "governed by two Archbishops and the B.B.C." was the first public expression of the revolt against radio-controlled religion.

The Church crisis is already being reflected by differences of opinion in the Religious Advisory Committee, which is the B.B.C. central body controlling religious broadcasting.

Ecclesiastical circles had regarded the Rev. "Dick" Sheppard's popularity on the air as something peculiar to himself. Radio Church Proposal

- POR LESS MONEY:

King Edward, during his reign, decided to dispose of the Royal herd of goats at Windsor Great Park. The nucleus five "nannies" and two "billies" were sent to the London Zoo, where they are now on exhibition in the paddocks facing Regent's Park. 11 was from this herd that the mascots- of the Welsh regiments have been drawn.

There remained two "billies," one of which has been offered by Sir Malcolm Murray, Deputy-Ranger of Windsor Great Park, to the 'depot of the Welch Regiment at Cardiff. The offer has been acceptel, and the other has been presented to the Weish Fusiliers' depot at Wrexham.

Lieut. H. H. Deane, Adjutant of the 1st Battalion The Welch Regiment, now stationed al the Victoria Barracks, Belfast, told a press repre- sentative that the goal which had been presented to the regiment would go to the depot at Cardiff to be train- ed, in case anything happened to the mascols now in possession of the regiment.

REGIMENTAL REGRET

"It is, of course, a matter of great regret that we shall not receive any more mascots from the Royal herd ut Windsor." he added. "It will mean that we shall no longer receive a mascol from the King, and it will probably mean an end to the pure strain of goats from the herd. At the same time, if the goat is used for breeding purposes, the strain of the Royal herd will be preserved.

The Royal herd, from which the regimental mascots have hitherto been bred, was established from goats given to Queen Victoria by the Shah of Persia over 50 years ago, and she inaugurated the practice of presenting goats to the Welsh regiments,

The present mascot gont of the 1st Battalion The Welch Regiment is Tay VI, which is four years old, and has fully upheld the traditions established by his predecessors. The 2nd Battalion, which is now in India, secured a wild goat from the Indian hills, and it has been trained into a fine mascot,
