SWANSEA. I A Swansea boy writing home from Salonika speaks in high terms of the ex- cellent spirits of the troops. Their only subject for complaint is the mosquito trouble. From the War Office Gazette of last Friday, we learn that Liejbt. E. F. Sutton, the well-known Swansea aeroplanist, has received a commission as equipment offi- cer in the Royal Flying Corps. Mount Pleasant residents have long had as a grievance the insufficient supply of Has to that district. This state of affairs will however, shortly be remedied, as another large pipe is being laid up Con- stitution-hill. Although the boisterous weather ex- perienced in Swansea during the week-end caused no serious damage, there were a few minor mishaps, including the blowing down of one of the young trees recently planted by the Corporation in Bernard- fitroet, BryrunilL Throughout the country churches and chapels have set up rolls of honour, on which are inscribed the names of those men connected therewith who are on active service. It is said that in this district the churches and chapels in Cwm- bwrla have the moot men serving. The splendid offer to soldiers returning from training depots and the front to their homes of a meal upon arrival at High-street Station is fully taken advan- tage of. The Y.M.C.A. ladies who see to the wants of the hoys are at times very busy when large detachments arrive. An interesting function took place at the General Post. Office, Swansea, during the week-end, the occasion being a presenta- tion to Mr. James Connibear, of Hewson- street, Mount Pleasant. Mr. Connibear a few months ago left the service of the G.P.O. after having completed over 42 years. A large number of Mr. Connibear's old colleagues were present at the gather- ing, and spoke in high terms of his ex- cellent work. Mr. Connibear was given a medal, suitably inscribed, and a testi- monial. A member of a well known Swansea family died on Sunday in the person of Mr. Stanley Bevan, Pinewood-road, Uplands. lie was the third son of Captain and Mrs. J. Bevan, Malvern-terrace, Swansea, and the brother of Messrs. P. and J. Bevan, of the Pioneer Motor Bus eervϜ. The deceased gentleman, who was only 29 years of age, leaves a widow and one child, the widow being a daughter of Mr. Rees, the Post Office, Marlborough- road, Brynmill, and before her marriage about three years ago a teacher at the Brynmill Schools.
