POPULAR MARRIAGE

The marriage was solemnised quietly to-day (Thursday) of Mr. David Evans, Pengelley, Newcastle Emlyn to Miss Audrey Basil Jones, Gwynfryn, Taliesin. The Rev Gwilym Parry officiated. Both bride and groom are popular members of Cardiganshire County Council and are county magistrates.



18 February 1938

ABERYSTWYTH COURT

John Gwilym Morris, Tanybryn, Taliesin, was summoned for having driven a vehicle in North Parade while under the influence of drink.

P.C.Ishmael said he saw a car turn into North-parade at a slow speed. The driver (defendant) appeared to have difficulty in driving the car, and also in changing gears. Eventually, the car came to a standstill, and on going to speak to the defendant, witness noted a strong smell of intoxicants. He asked the defendant what was the matter and he replied "What do you think is the matter?" Defendant got out of the car, attempted to start the car with a starting handle, but nearly fell. Witness then took him to the Police Station where he was examined by Mr. E Owen Lloyd FRCS North-parade, who found him to be under the influence of drink. When charged, defendant stated he considered he was a fit person to drive a car.

Defendant, who pleaded "Guilty" said he had been at Borth where he had three drinks. He then drove to Aberystwyth to buy some food and when he got into the car to drive home he had to drive slowly because of some trouble with the car. On going into North-parade he turned the corner slowly because of the crowd on the streets, but the car stopped owing to the fault of the battery and choke. He had been driving since 1935, had a clean record, and had never previously been in Court. His livelihood depended on his car and he promised that any leniency shown would be justified by his future good behavior.

After pointing out the seriousness of the charge, the Mayor said the Bench had taken all the circumstances into consideration and had decided to fine defendant £5 with 16/- costs and 10/6 doctor's fee, but had decided not to disqualify him from driving. Defendant was given time to pay.

OBITUARY

The death of Mr. David Jenkins took place at his home (Neuadd) on Tuesday.

A native of Pontrhydfendigaid, he had moved to the district when eight years of age, first to Cerrigtrane, and afterwards to Neuadd.

Mr. Jenkins was a deacon at Taliesin Welsh Calvinist Methodist Chapel for over 50 years, during the whole of that period he had acted either as Secretary or Treasurer of the church. He had been chairman of various organisations in connection with the "Hen Gorff" including the Monthly Meeting of North Cardiganshire Presbytery. He was well known throughout the Principality as breeder and exhibitor of black cattle in the principal shows including the Royal Agricultural Show of England, Bath and West, The Royal Welsh, as well as the Birmingham and Smithfield fat shows. At the letter shows he won the championship of the breed on two occasions, one of which as recently as last Christmas. Mr. Jenkins, who was frequently appointed judge won the first prize for an essay on Welsh Black Cattle at the National Eisteddfod at Caernarvon in 1935, and has since been published by the Black Cattle Society. Much sympathy is extended to his sister (Mrs T Thomas, Taliesin), and two brothers (Mr. J M Jenkins, Cerrigtrane, and Mr. Llywelyn Jenkins, Cardiff).

A quiet sunny day after the storm of Wednesday week, made a natural setting for the ceremony of consecrating a new cemetery by the Lord Bishop of St David's, at Llancynfelin, on Thursday. The clear outlines of the surrounding mountains were in time with the dignified simplicity of the ceremony.

Preceded by the Churchwardens (Dr Williams, Tre'rddol and Mr. Thomas Embury) the incumbents and the Bishop and the Clergy were followed by a representative gathering. At the massive stone entrance the Churchwardens presented to the Bishop their petition requesting him to consecrate, after which the procession moved round the whole of the portion to be consecrated. The Bishop prayed and then followed the proclamation. The Rev. Isaac Edwards, New Quay, having read the sentence of consecration, the procession returned to the church.
