Jones moved that a committee he iormed for the censorship of cinema films for ex- hibition at cinemas in the district.— Mr Bruce Jones Is this to be a travel- ling committee, moving from one place to another!-—Mr T. W. Jones: Com- I plaints have been received of objection- able films.—Mr G. H. Hall suggested that only pictures which had been passed by the censor be allowed to be exhibited.—Mr D. Rogers pointed ort that it was no use reporting to the Council after the picture had been shown. The mischief would have been done then.—Mr J. Powell remarked that it was impossible for any commit- tee to inspect all the films to be Shown weekly in 8 cinemas and halls.—Mr G. H. Hall: Nine.—Dr. Morgan: Ten; you forget this hall and the meetings of this Council. (Laughter.)—Mr Noah Bowles explained that the Council had already written to the managers of the various picture shows, asking them to exercise great care in the films ex- hibited.—Mr Thomas Jones thought the case would be met if another letter were written pointing out that if complaints were received the matter would be con- sidered when the licences came up for renewal.—This course was ultimately agreed to.

The result was as fol- lows: No. l; nil; No. 2, 1; No. 3, 7; No. 4, 8; No. 5, 6; No. 6, 7; No. 7, 1; No. 8, 14; No. 9, 6; No. 10, 9; No. 11, 15; No. 12, 3; No. 13, 1; No. 14, 7; No. 15, 4; No. 16, nil; No. 17, 13.

Mr. Pincombe was therefore elected. The Change.—Mr D. Rogers suggest- ed that legal work now in hand be com- pleted by Mr J. M. Linton.—Mr. J. Powell and Capt. G. A. Evans agreed.— Mr G. H. Hall objected. Mr Pincombe was in Messrs. Linton's office, and was in touch with what was going on. He (Mr Hall) did not see there was any need of keeping Mr Linton on, or the Council would be having a double set of charges. If the Clerk was to be asked to carry on certain legal work apart from the waterworks contract, he would like to know what those things were.— Mr Lamburn agreed with Mr Hall.- After some discussion it was decided to postpone discussion on this matter until the next meeting. Overseers.—The retiring overseers were Messrs. Griffith Evans, E. Morris, Bruce Jones, and D. Rogers. Mr W. Da vies was elected instead of Mr B. Jones, who expressed a desire to with- draw. Miskin Post office.-The Postmaster of Aberdare wrote asking the Council if they had any objection to the Miskin sub post office closing at 1 o'clock on Thursdays. Other sub-offices were be- ing closed on that day at that hour.— Mr Noah Bowles warmly supported the idea.—Rev. E. V. Tidman and Capt. Evans objected, on the ground that it meant an inconvenience to the public. —Mr Bruce Jones: People can always adapt themselves to the new conditions. and complete their correspondence by 1 p.m. on Thursdays. What Mr. Evans would do if he lived GO years ago the Lord only knows. (Laughter.) The Chairman said that Penrhiwceiber sub- post office was being closed at 1 p.m. on Thursdays, but there was a petition being signed against the closing.—Mr G. H. Hall: Only by a section, and that a very insignificant section. (Laughter.)—For closing, 8 voted; for asking the Postal Authorities to in- crease the staff to allow a half-holiday for the assistants and yet keep the post office open, 9 voted. New Waterworks. There was a prolonged discussion on the delay in constructing the Penderyn Waterworks —The Surveyor said he had seen the engineer that morning, and he had stated that no water would come down from there this year.—Mr Bruce Jones So we are going to have a happy time again. Children and Cinemas Again Mr T. W. Jones moved "That the resolution prohibiting children under 14 years of age being admitted after 8.30 p.m. to the Palace and the Empire, Abercynon, be rescinded." Mr Jones explained that when licences were granted a month ago to those places of amuse- ment, the above condition was inserted. However, when the various Workmen's Halls applied for the renewal of their Cinema licences a fortnight ago, a motion to impose a similar restriction was defeated. He contended that all should be treated alike, and this was the object of his motion.—Rev. E. V. Tidman said he would give notice of motion to rescind the motion ijassed a fortnight ago, when licences were granted tincond it tonal] v.Nl i- W. Lam- burn seconded Mr T. W. Jones' motion. —Mr W. Davies agreed that if restric- tions were to he placed on one licence they ought to be placed on all. Mr Thomas Jones was proceeding to speak, when Mr Millar complained of the chat- tering going on.—Dr. Morgan I can't hear a word myself.—Mr Bruce .Jones: It's Mr Millar filling his pipe. (Laugh- j ter.)—Finally, Mr T. W. Jones' motion was carried, Messrs. Thos. Jones., E. V. Tidman, and James Evans voting against it, and Mr Rogers neutral.— Rev. E. V. Tidman gave notice to raise the matter at the next meeting. Abercynon Recreation Ground.—The Recreation Grounds Committee re- ported The Clerk read a letter from the Solicitors of the Bonvilstone Estate stating that the Estate would not divide the site for purposes of sale, he- cause they considered that the sale of part only would result in a depreciation of the value of the remaining part. The whole site would have to he taken, or nothing. We recommend the Coun- cil to offer the Bonvilstone Estate the sum of £2,000 for the whole site, as against £ 3,000 asked by the Estate.
To Eat was to Suffer.
To Eat was to Suffer. Aclits Nervous Indigestion completsiy cured by Dr. CASSELL'S TABLETS. The following; extraordinary stoim- proves once again that Dr. Cassell's Tablets can restore health and strength to weak, dyspeptic, nervous men and women when all ordinary means fail. Mrs. Elizabeth Hammond, of Llan- hennock, Caerleon, nr. Newport, Mon., speaking to an in- terviewer recently, said: "Dr. Cassell's Tablets cured me when I was wasted to a shadow and so utterly strengthless tha t I could hardly mo-e at all. For nine years this had gone on, though I Mrs Hammond, Newport. had been to doctors and a hospital. I was never free from indigestion, so severe that I dreaded food. Every morsel I ate caused torturing pain in my chest until I had thrown it all up again. Naturally I wasted away. I used to lie on a couch for hours utterly exhausted. My head ached frightfully, and I could not sleep at night. The bed seemed to rock under me. I was badly constipated, too. I used to long to scream, I felt so miser- able, and I was sure my end was near. But about three months ago a friend got me some Dr. Cassell's Tablets, and from the first dose I steadily improved. To-day I am as well and strong as ever in my life." The wonderful power of Dr. Cassell's Tablets to cure nerve-failure, stomach and kidney weakntns and general vital depletion in old or young makes them the surest remedy ever devised for Nervous Breakdown, Anaemia, Debility, Sleeplessness, Nerve Pains, Heart | Weakness, Kidney and Stomach Dis- orders, Children's Weakness, Spinal and Nerve Paralysis, Brain Fag, and all run-down conditions. Send 2d. to-day to Dr. Cassell's Co., Ltd., 418 Chester Road, Manchester, for a free sample. All chemists sell Dr. Cassell's Tablets at lOtd., is. ltd., and 2s. 9d., the 2s. 9d. size being the most economical.

The Cook's Best Frieit" BORWICSC'S]
--------Cymrodorion Aberdar.
Cymrodorion Aberdar. The annual Gwyl Dewi festival of the Cymrodorion Society was held on Friday at the Higher Standard School. At the close of the menu proceedings the Rev. W. Davies, M.A., president of the So- ciety, took the chair. Mr R. H. Miles, High Constable of Miskin Higher, gave an address, brimful of humour. He dwelt on the programme term, Llon- gyfarchiad swyddi'l/' and remarked that llongyfarchiad was translated both "congratulation" and "welcome. In the present instance it was, he con- cluded, a combination of both. Mr Roger Thomas, Cwmaman, gave selec- 'tions on the harp. The president pro- posed the Royal toast, after which Miss Megan Davies sang" Rhosyn yr Haf." The Rev. T. Eli Evans proposed Dewi Sant," referring to the religious signi- ficance and the educative influence of the movement associated with the name of Dewi. Next came the poets' opportunity, and Ab Hevin. Ogwen, Gwyddonwy, and Councillor George Powell gave addresses. The toast, Wales' Educational Institutions," elicited an inspiring address trom the veteran Rev. R. J. Jones, M.A., who spoke on: (1) the brick and mortar, (2) the teachers, and (3) the pupils associa- ted with these institutions. After a patriotic song by Mr William Gwynne, Mr George Powell, the vice-president of the Society. responded to the toast. He was pleased to see English teachers taking such an active part in the St. David's Dav celebrations at the local schools. A living dog wa¡; better than a dead lion, and an English teacher en- thused with Welsh patriotism was better than an unpatriotic Welsh tea?her. • Mr Powell also mentioned the high market price which a medical officers' journal had placed on Welsh. This was a tribute to the intrinsic value of the language apart from any sentimental consideration. Pennillion singing by Misses Dorothy Evans and Myfanwy and Megan Williams, to the harp accompaniment of Mr Roger Thomas, was greatly enjoyed. "The Visitors was the toast which fell to the lot of the Rev. Thomas Jones, B.A., to propose. Mr Jones observed that the horizon of Welsh nationalism was not so limited that they could not ex- tend a hearty welcome into their patri- otic circle to nop-Welshmen who fostered the principles of Dewi Sant. Responding on behalf of the visitors, the Rev. Tywi Jones, editor of "Y Darian," briefly dwelt on the patriotic movement which had derived its name and inspiration from Dewi Sant. It was a movement with an educational message. Mr Jones contrasted the edu- cational condition of Wales to-day with what it was in his boyhood days. He concluded with a fervent appeal to keep alive the Welsh language in the life of the nation. At this juncture the chairman referred to the recent prefer- ment of Dr. Green, the Vicar of Aber- dare, a member of the Cymrodorion. to the Archdeaconship of Monmouth, and to the appointment of the Rev. J. M. Jones, M.A., another Cvmrodor, to a Professorship at Bangor College. He proposed a vote of congratulation to J them, and Mr J. Griffiths seconded. Ab Hevin sang Y tepot bach du (en- cored). Iwan Goch proposed and the Rev. R. Williams seconded a vote of thanks to all who took part. with special reference to the young harpist. Hen Wlad fy Nhadau was sung by Mr R. R. Davies, M.E. The event had been well organised by Miss Morfudd Davies and Mr John Davies (Iwan Goch). secretaries, and Mrs Williams, treasurer, assisted by the committee.
Abercynon Station Approach.
Abercynon Station Approach. MR KEIR HARDIE'S EFFORTS. A meeting of the ratepayers of Aber- cynon was held on Friday evening at the Lesser Hall to consider the advis- ability of urging upon the Taff Vale Railway Company the necessity of a better approach to the station. Coun- cillor T. W. Jones presided, supported by Mr R. S. Hughes.—Mr Jones said that it was high time for the people of I Abercynon to get a better access to the station on the western side.—Mr R. S. Hughes then read the following re- solution:—"That we the inhabitants of Abercynon again put forward our claim on the 'faff Vale Railway Com- pany for a better approach to the sta- tion, especially for the people living in- the Central and Carnetown dis- tricts, and whilst thanking Mr J. Keir Hardie, M.P., for the interest which he has taken in the matter urge him not to withdraw the block until our legitimate claim has been met with, but that whatever improvements the Com- pany make the present privileges of access to and from the colliery will be safeguarded. "-Mr Hughes said that some time ago, when he and Mr Keir Hardie were coming from the station, Mr Hardie drew his attention to the unsatisfactory approach, and remarked that when the T.V.R. Co. would move a Bill in the House of Commons, he would put up a block motion against their Bill. Then Mr Hughes was asked to prepare plans of the appr6ach to the station, which, with the assistance of some friends, he did, and which lie sent to Mr Hardie.—Councillor William Evans, addressing the meeting, stated that the inhabitants of Abercynon .te,od a chance of a lifetime at present, as a private Bill could not become law whilst a member opposed the Bill.— Guardian W. C. Dyer stated that these arrangements were in safe hands, and wished the junior member all success.— Mr John Rees Morgan asked whether the matter had come before any representa- tive body of men prior to that meeting. —Councillor T. W. Jones said that he was not aware of it, but that the Coun- cil had dealt with the question in times gone by. and, further, when he interviewed Mr Beasley, the T.V.R. manager, he stated that whatever im- provements would be done regarding the I access to the station, they would not be detrimental to the workmen travelling to and from the colliery premises.— Mr R. S. Hughes also said that the matter had been in the hands of the Federated Chamber of Trade.—The re- solution was carried unanimously.— Mr J. R. Morgan then moved that a copy of the resolution be sent to the member for East Glamorgan, Mr (lenient Edwards, which was seconded by Mr Edmund Jones.—Mr D. Evans moved that the resolution be sent to the M.P. representing the Federated Chamber of Trade, which was seconded by Mr D. L. Kelly.—Mr J. R. Morgan also proposed that the following re- solution be sent to the T.V.R. Com- pany:—"That we strongly support the block to the T.V.R. Bill until n better access to the station at Abercynon from the western side is -ranteil.Coiin- cinor T. W. Jones moved that i- letter be sent to Mr Hardie thanking him for the interest he has taken in this matter.—This was seconded by Mr D. Evans. chairman of the local Chamber of Trade.—A vote of thanks to the chairman was proposed by Mr John Rees Morgan, and seconded bv Mr K. S. Hughes.—A vote of thanks to Mr Hughes was proposed by Mr Edmund Tones, and seconded by Councillor Wil- liam Evans.—All the above resolutions trere carried.—The Rev. J. R. Hughes md Mr George Ferguson also addressed I he meeting.

THRIFT AND INCOME TAX.
THRIFT AND INCOME TAX. Dear Sir,—A poor fellow I know has worked hard, and by much saving just managed to buy his own cottage. It is not quite cleared vet. It was just an effort to get something put aside for a rainy day. Now, after all that, down on him comes the demand for income tax. He comes to me—can't afford to go to a lawyer. How can I advise him ? Is it true that you must have a certain amount of settled income before you are liable for income tax? Please tell me and greatly oblige,-Yollrs, J. JONES. rIf his income from all sources exceed C160 per annum he is liable to pay in- come tax on all he receives over and above that sum.—Ed.]
A SCANDAL AND A SHAME."
A SCANDAL AND A SHAME." Mr Editor,—I read the remarks of the Rev. William Davies, M.A., in the last issue of your paper on Some. Aspects of the Welsh National Awaken- ing. 1 note that he made use of the strong remark mentioned above. I beg to ask the rev. gentleman to explain to the readers of your paper how is it a scandal and a shame that we as working-men are represented in Par- liament by Mr J. Keir Hardie, M.P. ? Will the blot be washed out by putting in a barrister in"tead Yours: CYMRO. Cwmaman.
THE BROAD AND NARROW WAY.
THE BROAD AND NARROW WAY. Sir,—I attended St. Elvan's Church, Aberdare, on Sunday evening, and in the course of his sermon the Rev. K. O. Carter, speaking on broadminded- ness, said that it was a virtue generally admired, but for a Churchman to attend a Dissenting place of worship showed a lack of principle. Of course, he added, we could respect Dissenters as bre- thren. Did he mean brethren of the priest and Levite type? This is not the first time for the rev. gentleman to touch upon the same subject, and I am bound to say that such a remark savours of unkindness. The Church of England is at present passing through much persecution, and such remarks as this will only infuriate her opponents. —Yours, TOLERANT CHURCHMAN.
FUNERALS.
FUNERALS. Sir,—In reply to the letter 011 "Funerals," which appeared in last week's issue, I should like to point out that the state of affairs censured by "John Jones" does not, fortunately, exist. If John Jones has any desire to excel as a cynic, then it will be policy for him to pursue his present dog-like course; but if, on the other hand, he is desirous of shining as a truly just critic, then let him take up the broom of sound practical judgment, and brush away the cobwebs of narrow-mindedness (forever from his brain. Then will his eyes be opened, and he will be enabled to see things in their true perspectives. But if. by an inevitable fate, his mission in' life is to find faults, let him fire his guns upon objects really blameable, such as, for instance, public-houses, about which he seems to know such a vast amount. I am, yours truly, D'ALCAYS.
DEWI SANT AT CWMBACH.
DEWI SANT AT CWMBACH. Sir,—This year the school children of Cwmbach celebrated St. David's day in patriotic style, and an enjoyable time was spent. But why should we allow this (lay to be observed by children only Adults do so in other places. What about the impression this has on the minds of a large number of people? It appears that it is of no importance or else it would be never left to children only. I hope, however, we, as adults, will do something similar next time. We have the needed qualities, then why allow our talents to rust? We have no "Cymrodorion" or "Draig Goch" Societies in the place, and it means too much for us as miners to walk to Aber- dare where such are held. All hands on deck next year, boys," and let us act worthily of ourselves as Welshmen. —Yours, etc., CYMRO.
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE REV.…
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE REV. W. DAVIES. M.A., ABERDARE. Sir,—Your anti-Christian policy for- bids me to address you as my dear brother in Christ." You reject a bro- ther Christian in our midst, i.e., the Junior Member for Merthyr. because, unfortunately, from your point of view, he was born in another part of the country. Ability does not count; his sterling moral character, sincerity, righeousness, are swept aside, because, forsooth, he is not a Welshman. Now, if a Scotchman is not good enough for the Merthyr Boroughs, why is a Ger- man good enough for Swansea? Swan- sea, according to the map, is in Wales. And why is a Scotchman good enough for another part of Wales ? You don't reject your spiritual Saviour (Christ) because He is a Jew, so why reject a. political saviour because he happens to be a Scotchman? The Junior Member is a credit to the world, and humanity is richer because of his existence. It is a great pity that we have not more of his kind. On what basis can you be a Liberal? Liberalism is anti-Christian; they are different doctrines. Liberalism prevents the attainment of Christianity. The Liberal policy is an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and when there is a chance to make money it goes further. If you cannot bring Christianity into your daily life, political or otherwise, it is your duty as a lieutenant of Christ to turn your back on those things. Why do you persist in supporting Mr Lloyd Get>rge? You, I presume, are aware of Mr Lloyd George's gamble in Marconis. Will you tell me the difference between a gamble on the race-course and a gamble in Mar:onis and Stock Ex- changed You would be shocked if you heard of some local men playing banker )r pitch and toss, yet it is the same thing—a gamble. And yet you'll hold Mr Lloyd George, a dealer in gambling speculations, as the shining light of Wales. Then as to Disestablishment. Are you justified in resisting the evil that Churchmen has imposed upon Nonconformists? What is the law that Christ has laid down, and which you absolutely ignore? You sing. Doed yr Tndiaid," etc., but what would happen if the Indian wished to represent the Merthyr Boroughs ? I don't fancy his position, because, forsooth, he would not be a Welshman. I, too, am a Welsh- man, and have been brought up in a C.M. Church, so I know something about the matter. To sum up, Wales would be a sorry Vales without her toilers, and the man to represent the toilers must be a toiler himself. This is not a place for a place-hunting barrister. According to Mr D. A. Thomas all the Welsh representatives have been place-hunters, and there- is a decent list to back his statement.—I am, W. T. WILLIAMS. Aberaman.
F.C.C. AND THE VICAR OF HIRWAIN.
F.C.C. AND THE VICAR OF HIRWAIN. Dear Sir,-Allow me a short space to reply to F.C.C.'s letter, which appeared in your issue of 28th ult. It is an evident fact that F.C.C. did not read Churchman's" letter carefully, so that lie would know why and on what grounds the Vicar of llirwain made his appeal for a piece of ground for consecration. If F.C.C. is a member of the Free Church Council he has quite forgotten the principles of that Council —peace, concord, and brotherly love. One feels like asking F.C.C. a few questions re the above controversy, trusting he will be good enough to an- swer in your next issue. (1) Has he read section 1, sub-section v. of the Burial Act, 1900 t63-fi4 Viet. C. 13). if not, please do so. I may cite an in- stance to F.C.C.. which will reveal his ignorance of the Burial Act. An Urban District Council, acting as the Burial Authority, passed a resolution that no part of the Cemetery should be consecrated. But the Vicar and his true followers made an appeal to the Home Secretary, and the appeal was granted. They had complied with the Act. The Vicar of Hirwain had a common right tp appeal to the Council, and wisely he did. Let him not be dis- couraged whilst complying with the Act. He will overcome this petty jealousy. (2) Was Councillor J. O. George con- sulted by the F.C.C. before the Free Church Council made their protest. 1 say no emphatically. Why was he ig- nored? Is not Councillor George our rp- presentative upon the Council? (3) Were the different congregations given an opportunity to voice their opinion upon this matter? If not, on what I authority could the F.C.C. make their protest? As a body they are only repre- sentatives of their churches. (4) F.C.C. seems to be greatly surprised at Coun- cillor George's attitude. Why? because he would not express his opinion in favour of the protest. As a. representa- tive of the ratepayers (not F.C.C.) he wisely dissociated himself entirely from the twlarks of the F.C.C. He was never selected by this ward to repre- sent a religious body, but the rate- payers. With regard to the only honour mentioned by F.C.C., I wish to say that Councillor George's mission has not yet been accomplished. Does this flippant and blasphemous phrase come from a member of a body or coun- cil who has the religious welfare of the congregations at heart? If F.C.C. is a member of the Free Church Council I should vote to remove him from such Council until he changes his frame of mind and temperament. He implies that Councillor. O. George simply went to the Council to push the need of a cemetery." No, this has been the cry of the inhabitants of Hirwain for years. A question was asked Mr D. A. Thomas, when M.P. for the Merthvr Boroughs, at a public meeting held in the Victoria Hall ten or twelve years ago as to the ways and means of possessing the common land," which was given to the inhabitants of Hir- wain. Councillor George has worked hard and won the victory, but this was not his only object on the Council He -has to fight for the Recreation Ground which he has vowed he will do his utter- most to obtain.—Yours, etc., NONCON. IÐVER. OF JUSTICE.
Hockey.
Hockey. Last Saturday the Aberdare Teach- ers' Hockey Club played a match with Merthyr at Pentrebach. The Merthvr Hockey Club are in possession of a splendid ground, and during the play- ing of the match the rain kent off. For Merthyr were playing: Mr. C. H. V. Walters, Miss D. Nicholas, Mr J. E. Davies (captain, who played centre- forward), Miss F. Rees, Mr G. K. Sutherland, Miss N. Howfield, Mr E. H. Kenshole, Miss A. Williams, Mr T. H. Dean, Miss G. Williams, Mr W. T. Kenshole. The Aberdare team con- sisted of: Mr W. J. Williams, Mr Bryclian Thomas (centre forward), Miss F. Thomas (Mountain Ash). Mr Rey- nolds, Miss A. Cronk, Mr T. Thomas, Miss M. A. Edwards, Mr T. M. Rich- ards, Mr T. Rees, Miss C. Rate. The play was lively and brisk throughout, the ball passing swiftly from one side of the field to the other. Aberdare was hard pressed during the first half, and Mr Walters scored a goal. After half-time two goals were scored by Mer- thyr, both being by Mr G. K. Suther- land. As at last Saturday's match, Mr Rees and Mr. Kenshole acted as referees.
