Avui, divendres nit, tenim l’arribada dels Peregrins de les Useres, ja sabeu  a punteta de nit faran l’entrada a Sant Joan.

Demà, dissabte cap a migdia tenim l’eixida dels Peregrins. Per la vesprada i nit tenim unes Jornades Astronòmiques, baix tenim el programa.

El diumenge cap a mig dia arribarà la Volta a Castelló, esdeveniment molt volgut al poble, des d’abans que existira com a tal. Conte la gent gran del poble que allà pels 50 ja pujaven els bisiclistes, algun diumenge de primavera, i que quan arribaven al Dau la gent els tenia que ajudar per a que no caigueren a terra. Com no podia ser d’un altra forma, plovia i feia fred. En tot el poble, sols havia una dutxa, a la Fonda. El resto de bisiclistes van tindre que repartir-se per les cases del poble on la gent els va acollir amb cassos d’aigua calenta damunt de les estufes per a que pogueren netejar-se un poc i entrar en calor. L’any següent va arribar el telèfon al poble.

Avui ens tanquem amb uns versos d’un poeta local:

L’etapa, la vida…
A un pas del cel,
ja veus la fita.
El cos es cansa,
la ment disposa,
l’esforç augmenta.
Quan quasi arribes,
ja cendra eres.
Però dona igual,
la vida ho val!!!

Intentarem fer un resum de tot lo que allí es va parlar i comentar, però si alguna cosa s’oblida vos demanem que parleu al fòrum i així entre tots puguem comentar lo que fase falta.

• Dates, es van confirmar les dates de festes. Que com no podien ser d’altra manera ja que el 29 te que ser el últim dia (així es va votar fa anys) son del 21 al 29 d’agost.
• Es va comentar un esborrany de lo que serà el programa de festes per tal de que es pogueren fer suggeriments o critiques.
• Les Colles i Penyes van manifestar l seva predisposició, com cada any, en col·laborar amb tasques concretes de les festes. Algunes ja es van concretar i d’altres o aniran fent en els pròxims dies. Si formes part d’una Colla o Penya, o simplement vols col·laborar amb les festes organitzant algun acte o encarregant-te d’alguna tasca ficat en contacte amb algú de la Comissió o comentau al fòrum.
• Per al final he guardat el tema polèmic de tots els anys : els cadafals. La Comissió va proposar una línia continuista, mantenint el recorregut de l’any anterior i donant entrada a 2 cadafals nous, que ja es van quedar fora l’any passat. Sense modificar el recorregut es el màxim nombre de cadafals la Comissió entén que poden entrar. Com el tema va ser  polèmic, l’Ajuntament va fer un pas al davant i va “garantir que tots aquelles Penyes i Colles que vulguen tindre un cadafal a la plaça, el tindran”. Per lo que la Comissió, infinitament agraïda, deixe tot el tema dels cadafals, la seua col·locació, cens, i tot lo que d’ells puga derivar en mans de l’Ajuntament. Entre els assistents es va comentar seguir utilitzant la costum de saltar 2 llocs cada anys a l’hora de moure els cadafals, i que serie interessant que l’Ajuntament marqués unes mides màximes per als nous cadafals (3×2). Aquest tema ara esta en mans de l’Ajuntament.

Els pròxims dies, anirem comentant el programa de festes, a mida que es vagen confirmant els actes.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT BARCELONA, JUNE 6 From its isolated position in the Upper Cinca Valley in the high Pyrenees the 43rd Republican Division reports having taken the offensive and advanced its line slightly. The retreating insurgents abandoned 40 wounded men, who were made prisoners. The division has managed to round up 4,500 head of live- stock. In the Sort sector the Republican ad- vance begun a fortnight ago has ceased. Strong insurgent attacks on Piedras de Aolo, one of the new strong points esta- blished during the advance, were repulsed. The heaviest fighting for some weeks on any front is now taking place further south, in the sector of Mora de Rubielos, east of Teruel, where the insurgerits are endeavouring to exploit the advantage gained recently by outflanking the Escandon Pass on the Teriel-Sagunto road, which was so long the strongest point of the Teruel line. In spite of strenuous resistance, the insurgents have made progress in the Maestrazgo region. The farthest point reached by the advanc- ing tide is Vistabella, about midway on a line between Mora de Rubielos and Albocacer. The area of holding attacks madc recently by Republican forces in Andalusia has been extended to Estremadura. where a surprise advance in the Puente Del Arzobispo sector in the Tagus Valley secured some ground and 47 prisoners.

(F1tON OURt OWN COR.RESPONDENT.) MADRID, JeAY & The energy and combined movement of Generals Jovellar and MIartinez Campos have been rewarded by the surrender of Cantavieja to them, with the artillery park, vast military stores, 2,000 Carlist prisoners of war, including the Aragon Junta. Many civil functionaries, one Brigadief, 170 officers, 50 cadets, 1,600 soldiers also have been rescued, and 48 civil hostages whom the Carlists had carried off from Carinena to Cantavieja, and also three Government officers and 37 soldiers, captives. Gener-l Martinez Campos has returned to Cata- lonia. The Government casualties during the siege num- bered 80. Great activity is being apparently displayed to prevent the retreating Car]ists in the Centre pene- trating into Catalonia and Navarre. 1Nothing is reported from Estella, but Quesada telegraphs from MIiranda that a general advance has been made on the enemy’s positions between Cer- vila and Trevino, and a successful attAck on Por- tillo, near Vitoria, after a bloody resistance. General Blanco telegraphs from San Sebastian on Taesday that hostilities continued along all his line. The enemy’s fire was slow, his own brisk. The Spanish Consul at Perpignan telegrapbs that the Carlists attacked La Jnnquera, but were dis- persed by the garrison, General Arrando arriving in time to complete their defeat. The ironclad Vitoria cannonaded Bernico for two hours yesterday. The Governor of Huesca telegraphs that Brigadier Mloreno yesterday occupied Vrelillas. General Weyler is rapidly marching to join him. Within a short distance were the factions of Dorre- garay and Alvarez, and an encounter with the out- posts had commenced. Altogether there are signs in all directions of an activity unknown for months, and events of great importance are hoped for. (E2EUTn’S TELEGORMS.) WJADRID, JuLn 9. The Royal Army entered Vitoria on Wednesday. MIRANDA, JuvL 9. In the engagement in Trevino the Carlists lost 400 killed and 60 prisoners. They retreated to the uorthiof Alava.
