PENCOED. I
PENCOED. I Presentation to Accompanist.—On Tuesday evening a very pleasing function took place at the Public Hail. It took the form of a gather- ing of members of the Pencoed Mix<td Choir, and the Pencoed Ladies Choir. After a iihoi-t prac- tice of "Worthy is the Lamb," the members of both choirs seated themselves in the hall, and Mr. W. A. Howell presided over the gathering. The Chairman, in his opening rotiarks, out- lined the reasons for making a presentation to the accompanist of the two choirs-Miss Susie Evans. Miss Evana was leaving im the course of a week or so to enter the Swansea Training College. It was felt that recognition should be made of her services as accompanist to both choirs. The members of the choirs had sub- scribed beyond his expectations, and a gold bracelet watch had been procured. Mr. R. Roberts, the secretary of the choir, next spoke. After a short address from Rev. D. W. Howell, the Chairman called upon Mr. Tom Jones, the conductor of the choirs, to make the presenta- tion. Mr. Jones, after a few wordt expressive of his appreciation of the musical capabilities and the faithful services of Miss Evans, handed over the watch. Miss Evans, in an exceedingly apt speech, expressed her gratitude for the pre- sentation made to her. Mr. J. Edwards-Evans, headmaster of the Council School, also spoke, and expressed gratitude for the'presentation to his daughter. The singing of\HAuld Lang Syne" brought a very pleasant function to a close.
f HEOLYCYW. )
f HEOLYCYW. ) Wounded.—We regret to hear that three local soldiers, viz Sgt. Ivor Williams (who was awarded a Military Certificate for special gal- lantry in April "last, and was previously wounded in the shoulder). Driver Stanley John, R.F.A., and Pte. J. Leyshon, are in hospital, and unfortunately Sergt. Williams's wound in the wrist is said to be somewhat serious. In the otner two cases we are glad to learn no seri- ous consequences are anticipated. On the whole the one hundred odd soldiers who have gone from Coychurch Higher to nght their ooun- try's battles, have escaped wonderfully well. So far it is only six we cannot hope to welcome home. Their graves are severed far and wide on blood-red nelds of France and Flanders, and some of us hope to visit the sacred spot when the peace so many hunger for will have been re- enthroned. Sunday School Treat.—The members of New Bethel and Heol-laethog Sunday Schools, and their friends, to the number of nearly 200, were favoured with ideal weather &n the 6th inst. with the tea, which, this year again had to be substituted for the eagerly anticipated outing of former and normal years..In spite of inevit- able restrictions, all much enjoyed and appreci- ated the excellent catering of Mr. H. J. Jones, Bridge Stores, and tea over, competitive sports on Cae Garu, kindly lent by Mr. Alec Lewis, Raglan Farm, gave boundless amusement, and made all temporarily forget the gloom of the day. When the shades of night were falling, the company resorted to New Bethel, where the Rev. D. J. Hywel, the esteemed pastor, presided over a successful and interesting competitive meeting, at which Madame Taylor, L.R.C.M., and Miss Cerules were adjudicator and accompanist re- spectively. Speeding Parting Guests.—During the past fortnight the people of this parish have had the pleasure and privilege of extending a hearty wel- come to three gallant soldiers Tiome on leave from the front, viz., Trooper D. Campbell, at- tached to an Indian Cavalry Regiment; Cpl. W. L. John, K.S.L.L, and Driver E. Phillips, Welsh Regiment. Campbell has been in France since February, 1915, and John and Phillips since December, 1915, and the three were home for the nrst time. Campbell was wounded once in the mouth by the rebound of a piece of shell, but we are glad to add that the other two have escaped unscathed so far, and may they do so to the end. Campbell returned on Sunday, Jo4n on Monday, and Phillips on Wednesday, and we are glad to add that enthusiastic farewell meet- ings, in the nrst case at Heolycyw, and in the second and third cases at Rhiwceiiiag, were given these gallant young men, neither of whom was allowed to depart empty-handed. They have borne the brunt and heat of the day for us, and they must not, and shall not, be forgotten. "Yn anghof ni chant fed!" A Second Guto Nyth Bran.—Many if not all our older readers, who remember Guto Nyth Bran, whose running prowess nlled men with wonder, believed the world would never see such another runner. Peneoed, however, appears to have produced Guto's equal, if not superior, in the person of a young sprinter who recently bad occasion to deliver and receive payment for a inotor-eyele, at Llanharan. The transaction was satisfactorily completed, and with .830 in pocket, our agile friend commenced the return journey on Shank's ponies. When opposite Trenos, there reposed a "Weary Willie" under shelter of a friendly hedge. His breathing was so like approximate peals of thunder that the moneyed traveller concluded it was artificial rather than natural. A cold perspiration burst over him, he remembered his .230, which he placed in his stocking, and rushed homeward at a pace which even Guto would not have despised, and which lauded him at Peneoed Post Onice, miles dis- tant, in less than nine minutes, during each second of which the sound, or the ghost of the sound of "Weary Willie'6" footsteps never once ceased in the man in a hurry's ears, who now contemplates relinquishing his employment at Wern Tare Colliery, to set up as a professional runner. M Hilary .—Sergt. Idris Warren, A.S.C., oldest son of our esteemed neighbour, Mr. George Warren, The Green, Ileolycyw, who was one of the nrst Heolycyw youths to respond to his coun- try's call in October, 1914, and who has been in France since early in 1915, was home from the 8th to the 18th inst. on well-earned leave, and received a hearty reception at the hands of his many friends, who organised a smoking concert in his honour on Saturday evening.—We re- cently inadvertently described our soldier friend, Mr. W. L. John, who visited Tynewydd Farm, Coyeh urch Higher, a week cr two ago, as private instead of sergeant. Sergeant John is a son of the late Mr. Wm. John, Bryncethin, under 22 years of age, and the youngest sergeant from this district.—Lieut. T. M. Evans, Tir Gwilym Farm, Heolycyw, is about to be trans- ferred from the Royal Engineers to a flying corps, and will shortly return from France to this country to undergo a course of training.— We much regret to add the name of Sergt. Geo. Gundry to the list of local men wounded re- cently in France. He is now in a Military Hos- pital in Bristol, and hopes to be shortly trans- ferred to a convalescent hospital. Gundry, who I is a married man, was, previous to enlistment ¡ in December, 1914, an ostler at Raglan Colliery, and in that capacity was a most reliable man.

Lloyd, J.P., chairman of the Parish Council, occupied the chair. Dr. Abel J. Jones, M.A., B.Sc., organising secretary for War Sav- ings in Glamorgan, ably expounded the scheme, ¡ and laid emphasis on the fact that Glamorgan, of all the Welsh counties, had up to the present lagged far J behind in their support of this all- important matter.—On the motion of Mr. I. B. Nicholl, seconded by Rev. R. David (Vicar), it was unanimously resolved to form a local branch of the Association for the district. A strong committee was chosen, and Mr. T. R.
