NEWS A N D COMMENT

JOLLY PROPHETS

A bucket-shop heraldry firm in Texas has really gone to town on its promotional leaflet. Not only have they a million names "al l researched from ancient records and tablets" (knock-out tablets?) but will produce "your family coat of arms in the proper colours and on a beautiful embossed copper plate, attached to a beautiful wooden base, itself a product of beauty" (our italics throughout). Thanks to the firm's new, sophisticated, data processing equipment they can offer "auth­entic "coat of arms" faster service at less than half the price before this equipment was available".

The leaflet then descends from the slightly illiterate and faintly dishonest to downright, albeit practically unintelligible, fiction. How about this —

"Our research staff studies thousands of names and nationalities from records and documents as far back as 700 years ago, covering complete family histories of nob­ility, lords, barons, kings, land owners and peasants. A stern law of that age was that every person and family must have a re­corded name and family "coat of arms", therefore these people who could not read called on monks, prophets and the clergy to write their documents and design their "coat of arms". This information was then used by the king's tax collectors, land grant records, church and burial inform­ation, and their "coat of arms" easy to recognize in the heat of battle and global wars."

We love the idea of a 13th century peasant, sporting arms designed by a prophet, busily engaged in a global war. The only sobering thought is that a fat, jolly, mediaeval prophet has brought Farr and Sons Ltd. of Houston, Texas a jolly fat modern profit.

PROUD OF WHAT?

"Now proud Pencoed wears a coat of arms" runs a headline in the G l a m o r g a n Gazette (17-12-70), but what a 'coat of arms'! It appears that a M r . D. John has designed arms which have been donated to the Parish Council. The arms are illustrated, although not, perhaps fortunately, in colour.

Crest: a pascal lamb.

When the Chairman of the Council re­ceived the 'arms' on a pendant from M r . Lewis Watkin he is reported to have said: "This is a memorable day in the history of Pencoed".

is quite dead they will be a mill-stone round the neck of proud Pencoed.

We do not want to be unkind to Mr . John but when a person meddles in a complex and exact art and science, which is what heraldry is, without any idea of either its artistry or its rules, he must expect to be criticised. In the same way the Parish Council probably did not realise that by using the 'arms' they would be committing an offence, but the fact is that they are and the sooner they put matters right the better for everyone.

The Chairman also stated that the Council intended to present "smaller shields to the schools, because the children are the custod­ians of the future in Pencoed". Let us hope that this future does not include the travesty of law, art and history which the new 'arms' symbolise and that the Council will acknow­ledge its error and either use a non-armorial symbol or seek a grant of legal arms.

REPEATED POPINJAY FASHION The article in the last issue of the Gazette,

"Who will break a lance for Bexley?" has had several repercussions. On the one hand inhabitants of Bexley have written, angry that an Australian Building Society should pinch the arms of their old borough, on the other hand cases of corporations, some much nearer home, which have 'borrowed' arms have been brought to our notice.

One of the worst instances of pirating is that of Skegness Urban District Council, which bears and uses the arms of the Lumley family.

However, let us hope that wise counsel will prevail and that the fathers of the Council will hasten to correct this abuse now that it has been brought to their attention.

Finally, we are told that the arms decorate the gates of the County Hotel, Skegness, which is owned by Bateman's Breweries of Wainfleet! Those popinjays in the Lumley arms certainly have a lot to answer for.

H E R A L D R Y G A L O R E On two occasions we have held a one day

exhibition of members' exhibits and art work in Kensington. These exhibitions have been so successful that this year we are holding a bigger and better exhibition. The Depart­ment of the Environment has very kindly offered us the use of the crypt of the Ban­queting House in Whitehall (where the War Museum used to be) from 31st May until 5th June. The exhibition will be formally opened on Monday, 31st May at 6 p.m. Admission is by ticket only (see below) The Exhibition will be open during the rest of the week from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. except on Wednesday, 2nd June, when it will stay open until 8 p.m. Admission is free.

Those who wish to exhibit their own work are asked to complete the enclosed form "B". They will then receive full details as to how, when and where their work should be submitted. They will be judged by a small panel of experts who will select for exhib­ition the best work submitted in the follow­ing four categories:— (1) Professional; (2) Amateur; (3) Student; (4) School child.

Please note that pictures which are neither framed nor mounted are less likely to be selected than those which are and that the Society cannot accept any responsibility for the safety of exhibits in this section of the Exhibition, although naturally all possible care will be taken of them.

Those who wish to attend the Opening Ceremony are asked to apply for invitations on form "C". After the Opening there will be a wine and cheese reception. The cost of the tickets for the Opening and Reception has purposely been made higher than is usual for such functions as a portion of the cost will be used to help defray the expense of mounting the Exhibition. Members may bring as many guests as they wish, but please remember admission to the Opening is B Y INVITATION O N L Y .

Finally, there will be a Heraldry Society stall at the Exhibition and volunteers are required to help staff it, particularly at lunch time. We shall be very grateful for help and volunteers are asked to complete form "D". Those who undertake this work should be prepared to be salesmen, (or women), to talk to visitors and help them wherever possible and in every way to ad­vance the interests of the Society.

Enquiries regarding the Exhibition should be addressed to Mr. P. B. Spurrier, 24a By-water Street, London, S.W.3.

HERE AND THERE

Mr. Fred Baker has made a good job of restoring the royal arms of George HI, which once hung and have now been rehung in Swinford Church. T h e Rugby Advertiser (25-12-70) reports that local tradition has it that the royal arms can only be hung in a church in which royalty have worshipped. The rector quite rightly discounts this trad­ition for, as armorists know, the erection of the royal arms in a church was once oblig­atory. It is good to know that an old coat has been restored and replaced.

The other day, we read with pleasure a long, well-written, fair and accurate article on the Earl Marshal and his contribution to the life of the country. The writer assessed with sympathy and understanding what it means to be Earl Marshal and how splendidly the Duke of Norfolk has fulfilled the duties of his office. He attributes this not only to the Duke's own ability, but also to the ex­cellence of the hereditary principle. Where was this article published? Country Gentle­men's Estate M a g a z i n e ? T h e F i e l d ? No — T h e P l a i n D e a l e r (1-1-71) "Ohio's Largest Newspaper by Far . . ."

In the last issue we wondered whether the legend H u x i Soit Q u i Y Pese, which was inscribed beneath a colourable imitation of

the Royal Arms in a "Holiday Inn" in Tennessee, could have something to do with the Ku-Klux-Klan. M r . George Walker has another theory. He writes, "it means Hoaxed be he who depends on this — pese from peser, to bear down or weigh upon. I fancy my old friend M r . Ellis Tomlinson, as a purist, would press for s e r a rather than s o i t ; but we must make allowances for the Knoxvillainous idiom".

THE ORDERS GAME

We have received a complaint from a reader who has been invited to join The Order of St. John the Baptist of America (Inc). He complains that it is not the genuine Hospitaller Order of St. John. Of course it is not. Its very name shows that it is an American Society and therefore cannot be a genuine Order of Chivalry. A s far as we can make out, anyone in America can found such a Society, incorporate it and dish out crosses, stars and glorious titles, but they don't mean anything and anyone who thinks they do needs his head examined. If you look in Kelly's H a n d b o o k t o t h e T i t l e d L a n d e d a n d Official Classes you will find a man who has the initial letters of eleven orders after his name. The list of abbreviations will not tell you what these letters signify but it does not really matter as he invented them all him­self. It is a harmless form of lunacy, which helps to keep the medallists in business.

HERALDRY SOCIETY

NEW VICE-PRESIDENTS.

The Council has pleasure in announcing that the following have honoured the Soc­iety by accepting the post of a Vice-President thereof: —

Sir James Monteith Grant, K . C . V . O . , W.S., Lord Lyon King of Arms.

Sir Iain Moncreiffe of that Ilk, Bt. Ph.D., F .S.A. , D . L . , Albany Herald of Arms and formerly a member of the Council of the Society.

OBITUARY.

We announce with great regret the sudden death of M r . T. B . Jenkins, Hon. F.H.S., who, for as long as The Heraldry Society has had audited accounts, has been our al­most honorary auditor. The Society has had few better friends than M r . Jenkins. Every year for twenty years he had sorted out the Society's accounts, produced a clear audited statement and then come to the Annual General Meeting to answer the criticisms which seldom if ever came. Indeed, only a few weeks before he died his friendly figure was to be seen, ensconced behind his faithful pipe at the last A . G . M . He was known to generations of members and his passing not only deprives the Society of a loyal and gen­erous benefactor, but also many of a dear friend. Although he will be missed for what he gave to the Society he will also be missed in heraldic circles, for he was a keen and devoted armorist whose findings were, from time to time, published in The Coat of Arms. The Council and Officers of the Society sent flowers for his funeral but would like to take this opportunity of extending their sincere condolences to his widow and family.

We also regret to announce the deaths of M r . R . A . Forth, a life member of the Soc­iety; of M r . H . R. Semken; Miss Margaret Ward, a member for nearly twenty years; M r . W. P. Osmond; Brigadier J . C. Wick-ham, D.S.O. and sometime A . D . C . to King George V I , who joined the Society in 1960; Hon. Miss F . M . Fremantle, eldest daughter of the 3rd Baron Cottesloe and a former Church of England Missionary and Sir Richard Sneddon, C.V.O. , C.B.E. , M . A . , L L . B . , a member of the Queen's Body Guard for Scotland and of many foreign Orders.

COLONEL DANBY

It was recently announced in the Gazette, that to mark Colonel C. C. Danby's devoted years of service as Secretary of the Society, the Council had presented him with two silver dishes. Members were invited to sub­scribe to the cost of this present. Many members responded to this appeal and the Council was able to send Colonel Danby a small cheque. Originally it was suggested that the names of donors might be inscribed in a book, but it seems more suitable to record these on a single illuminated sheet. This is being done and it is hoped that there will be an opportunity of presenting this to the Colonel in the near future.

URGENTLY WANTED

1. Owing to the sudden sad death of M r . T. B . Jenkins, our all-but-honorary auditor, we need a new auditor. Would any member be prepared to undertake this task for a small reward?

2. We also need a few voluntary helpers who would not mind coming to the Society's offices for a few hours from time to time to do some rather menial tasks such as putting things into envelopes, sorting papers, etc.

3. We hope to acquire freehold premises before too long and the Council is going to make an appeal. If any member has exper­ience in raising funds by the issue of deben­tures and so forth and is prepared to put his or her expertise at our disposal, we shall be deeply grateful.

4. Please, please send the Secretary any cuttings from newspapers which touch on matters heraldic. It is all grist to our mill, especially as we no longer have a Press Cutting Service to help us.

ANNUAL DINNER.

Members are reminded that the Annual Dinner will take place on Saturday, 24th Apr i l , 1971, at The Abercorn Rooms, Great Eastern Hotel, Liverpool Street, London, E.C.2. A form on which to apply for invit­ations is being sent to all members.

Inevitably the cost of the dinner has risen but the Council hopes that this will not deter members from attending what is generally voted a very happy occasion. Last year some who attended the dinner did not like separate tables and found the construction of the room we used awkward, inasmuch as not everyone could see the top table. This year we shall again be seated at one table with sprigs in a pillarless room.

DONATIONS.

The Council of the Society gratefully ac­knowledges donations to the Society's funds from the following: —

HERALDRY TESTS

The tests in Elementary and Intermediate Heraldry will be held between 21st and 24th May, 1971. Those wishing to take the tests should inform the Secretary before 1st May. They should also send the Sec­retary the name and address of someone willing to invigilate whilst they take the tests and to whom the papers can be sent.

The tests in Intermediate Heraldry may not be attempted unless those in Elementary Heraldry have been passed at a previous examination. Certificates will be awarded to successful candidates.

Members are reminded that sample papers will be sent by the Secretary on receipt of a stamped and addressed envelope. Members living abroad who cannot take the tests at the prescribed time should write to the Sec­retary so that special arrangements can be made.

CHRISTMAS CARD COMPETITION

A competition will be held to design the Society's 1971 Christmas Card. The first prize will be £10 plus 100 free cards. There will be two other prizes of £2 worth of books chosen from the Society's L i s t of P u b l i c a ­t i o n s . The rules are as follows: —

1. The design should be in two flat colours (no half-tones) so that reproduction can be by line blocks.

2. The theme should be Christian and also refer to the Society.

3. There is no limit to the number of designs which each competitor may submit.

4. The winning design becomes the copy­right of The Heraldry Society.

5. The judges' decision is final. 6. Entries will only be returned if

accompanied by a stamped and addressed label.

7. Each entry must be endorsed with the name and address of the competitor and with the following statement: " I have read and understood the rules governing The Heraldry Society's 1971 Christmas Card Competition and I agree to abide by them." This should then be signed.

A l l entries should be sent to the Secretary of the Society and must reach him by 1st June 1971.

THE SPIRIT OF HERALDRY

The following interpretation of the Soc­iety's arms has been submitted by a reader:—

In case it may be of use as an example of heraldry illustrating citizenship, a study of the Society's arms has been placed in the library. The following is its summary.

Heraldry symbolises chivalry, which med­iaevally meant citizenship. In Tudor times chivalry was defined as the duty of defend­ing the country's common weal in its rights.

The first duty in citizenship is to learn to distinguish between right and wrong, i.e. to learn how to think clearly, in contrast with being told w h a t to think; because, unless a person has a clear mind he cannot be sure of acting sensibly and honourably. The Society's arms form an excellent reminder for this.

Q u a r t e r e d f i e l d : the four stages of true reasoning.

L i o n ' s face: "Light", figurative for light of mind, wisdom, the first step in which is "know thyself", i.e. understand the nature of the human mind.

Tressure f l o r y : the traditional eight princ­iples for a good and happy life.

B l a c k U n i c o r n : black, self-discipline, one of the essential faculties for true reasoning. The unicorn, a good omen; it heralds the coming of good government (not through trust in luck, which brings about Friday's "woe", but through active endeavour). Its collar, the knightly wreath, is chivalry in both thought and deed.

Crest: "The man of superior character never acts with an ulterior motive; but when justice is the issue, and he acts yet finds no response, then he rolls up his sleeves to force it on others." ( L a o - T z e ) .
