Cwmaman Notes.
Cwmaman Notes. BY "MARCUS AURELIUS." The Public Halls and Institute Com- mittee are being much commented upon lately. The cause de celibre, it is al- leged, is this. During the summer months there is hardly any use for the large hall, but during the winter season it is very much in request by various sections of the community. It seems that the Committee had come to the decision of renovating the build- ings a long time ago, but up to a very few weeks ago no start had been made. Just as the busy season is about to commence, lo and behold, a trans- formation takes place, and the painters and plasterers are in possession, and I will hold the citadel for the next two or three months. What appears to worry some people is why couldn't operations have been commenced at the beginning of sum- mer instead of leaving matters until now? Can the committee satisfy the irritated ones

Edwards pre- sided, and was supported by Mrs W. R. Edwards (the Dame President of the League), .Dr and Mrs Fiiiney, Miss M. A. Edwards, B.A.. Aberdare, secre- tary; Miss Temple, Aberaman; Mr W. Notton, Councillor A. P. Jones, and Mr R. J. Richards, Conservative agent. The chairman made a reference to the Senghenydd Explosion, and moved a vote of sympathy with the relatives of the victims, which was unanimously carried. He referred to the progress made by the Primrose League through- out the country.—Mr Tom Smith, the Lancashire orator, the prospective can- didate for the Hyde Division of Cheshire, and secretary of Lancashire and Cheshire Junior Unionist Associa- tion, gave an address on "Real and False Politics." He dealt with the work of the present Government, which, lie said, was in a false position, which should be tested by appealing to the people. In reference to Home Rule he remarked that the maintenance of the Empire and the integrity of the Church were among the fundamental principles of the Primrose League. He had been taught that Parliament was the servant and the nation the master, but to-day it was vice-vetsa. The difference be- tween false and real politic- was that the one was destructive and the other con- structive. The British Empire had been built through rhe ••on<tructive policy of the British race. The speaker dealt at length with the Welsh Dises- tablishment Bill and the land question. Dr Finney proposed a vote of thanks to the speaker, which vas seconded by Councillor A. P. Jones. He said that he would be pleased to see more meet- ings of this nature organised by both sides. Mr Smith responded and moved a vote of thanks to the chairman. Mr \V. Xottou seconded.
