I Porth Y.M.C.A.
I Porth Y.M.C.A. Presentation to Mr. Edgar Jones, M. P. Presentation to Mr. Edgar Jones, M.P. The reception and tea in honour of Mr. Edgar Jones held in connection with the above Association on Thursdav even- ing last, at the Y.M.C.A. Assembly Rooms, was nothing if not a gigantic success. The occasion was made more auspicious, inasmuch as Mr. Jones, who is the founder of the Porth branch, was to be presented with some very beautiful, presents. It was felt by his fellow- members of the Society and soma of his friends that the present occasion was an opportune time to place on record a recognition of his abilities, and also of the splendid services he has rendered to the above branch since its establishment. The spread preceding the presentation was a magnificent one, altogether some- thing like 200 persons participating in the pleasure thereof. The tables were daintily laid out and nicely decorated with flowers, &c. Among the guests were Dr. Ivor H. Davies, J.P., Llantrisant; Dr. R. D. Chalke, M.A. Mr. Win. Evans (Thomas & Evans), Porth Farm; Mr. M. H. Jones; Wattstown; and Mr. E. Samuel, M.A., County School. Mr. T. A. Lewis, B.Sc., presided over the post- prandial proceedings, which were opened with a solo by Mr. D. Price Howells, who gave a beautiful rendering of Make new friends and keep the old." The Chairman expressed his pleasure of the opportunity afforded him to honour one to whom honours had fallen recently at a very young age. In a brief but lucid address, Mr. Lewis pointed out the great work Mr. Jones had done in connection with the Y.M.C.A. how the idea for such a movement at Porth had had its inception; how Mr. Jones got together a good working committee and how they eventually became possessed of their pre- sent buildings. Mr. Lewis,, continuing, paid glowing tributes to the young M.P.'s ability in organising various classes. Humorous references were made to the Mock Parliaments, and how ir every- thing Mr. Jones shone with a that gave brilliance to everything they had undertaken. Mr. Wm. Evans then presented Mr. Jones with a large and beautiful portable travelling case and toilet requisites. Mr. Evans warmly congratulated Mr. Jones upon his success at Merthyr. Speaking in lighter vein," he accused Mr. Jones of possessing two serious faults—that of being young, and also of. being small (laughter). The latter was the most serious charge (loud laughter). He believed, however, that Mr. Jones was growing. There were three ways of grow- ing, viz., in height, bulk, and intellect. He was afraid the first would not be realised (laughter). With regard to the second, he hoped to yet see him returning from London as big as some of our local M.P.'s (loud laughter). Referring to the third, Mr. Evans said he was perfectly assured that Mr. Jones would justify the confidence that the "eople of Merthyr had reposed in. him (hear, hear). Continuing, the speaker said that the Y.M.C.A. could take pride in having been the means of discovering Mr. Jones, and Mr. Jones could justly feel proud of being the first young man from the Rhondda to go to St. Stephens (hear, hear). He thought without condescending to flattery, that their young friend was following in the footsteps of Mr. Lloyd George (loud cheers). Mr. Evans, in conclusion, ex- pressed the hope that the presents which he handed over on behalf of the Y.M.C.A. would be treasured by him, not for their value, but in the spirit in which they were given, and as a token of their appre- ciation of his past services and of their friendship (hear, hear). Mr. H. Goldsworthy, a past-president of the branch, in presenting a very fine travelling rug and Thermos flaisk, testined to Mr. Jones qualities, and dealt with the glorious times they all had had in their friend's company. He hoped that the rug would prove serviceable and a reminder of those who would watch his career with interest. Mr. D. M. Jones (surveyor) also spoke appreciatively of the Tecipient and pre- sented him with a beautiful 8-.dav time- piece in leathern case, and an oak and silver inkstand. Dr. Ivor N. Davies, as fim chairman of the first committee, was; very glad of associating himself with them on the occasion of honouring their young friend. When a student in London, lie (Dr. Davies) watched Mr. Gladstone, Disraeli, Mr. J. Chamberlain, and others in Par- liament, and he hoped that he should also have the pleasure of seeing Mr. Jones (hear, hear). Mr. Edgar Jones, responding, thanked them very sincerely for their beautiful presents, and assured them that he would always treasure them. In an eloquent address, he expatiated on the need of more commodious premises for the- Y.M.C.A., and strongly advised the young men to put their whole heart and soul in their work, and always to remem- ber the value of punctuality. With eloquence, wit and humour combined, Mr. Jones kept his audience full of en- thusiasm from beginning to the end. Mr. E. Samuel, M.A., of the County Schools, said that Mr. Jones had achieved two records in the Rhondda Valley that of being the first scholar to matriculate. and that of being the first young 'man .Y from the Rhondda to get a Par- liament. Dr. R. D. Chalke also 1,;th choice diction eulogised Mr. Jone qualities.

League of Young .Liberals.
League of Young Liberals. Branch formed at Porth. An enthusiastic meeting was held at Salem Chapel Schoolroom, Porth, on Monday night for the purpose of forming a branch of the National League of Young Liberals; The meeting was presided over by Dr. Chalke, and a number of influe- tial local Liberals were present. Mr. Beddoe Rees, of Cardiff, was present on behalf of the League to explain the aims and objects of the organisation. Mr. Beddoe Rees, who on rising to address the meeting was received with applause, emphasised the need of an organisation which would take within its boundaries men and women, more parti- cularly of the younger generation, and train them in the principles of progress and Liberalism. He said it was not in- tended to be a. junior branch of any parent Liberal organisation, but rather to be a League formed for the express purpose of organising and training young people. Its. main objects were twofold: (1) To stimulate the study of questions of national importance, historical, social and industrial, and (2) To promote progressive principles among young men and women. These objects to be promoted by debates, lectures, the circulation of books, and such other means as from time to time may be deemed advisable. ■ He went on to say that this League did in no wise oppose any other progres- sive organisation of any kind (hear, hear). There were many societies who had done, and were still doing, magnifi- cent work, and this League sought to work in conjunction with them in incul- cating the principles and aims of Liberal- ism (applause). To-day we are passing through a time of evolution. Old things were changing and giving place to new. There could not be any finality in the political world. New problems, were constantly being forced to the front, problems of social reform, problems occasioned by the grouping together of bodies of men in Trades Unions, and problems of un- employment, all demanding careful con- sideration and proper solutions. This League sought by educational methods to train men and women, and make them better able to understand the great ques- tions of the day. The fight before the people wa's a great fight between caste and privilege on the one side, and demo- cracy on the other, and the League was certainly on the side of democracy (applause). Further, one of the main objects of the League was to educate the people in the principles of democratic finance as outlined in the Budget. Everyone admit- ted that the Budget was only the foun- dation of a great structure of fair and just taxation. It provided the. means for* great strides in the way of social reform (cheers). When one saw powerful influences at work, organisations like the Tariff Reform League, disseminating misstate- ments, false figures and erroneous ideas, the need of an organisation like the League of Young Liberals was self- evident. The League also sought to force upon the people the study of the Protec- tionist days of sixty years ago, and to expose the fallacies of present-day so- called Tariff Reformers (applause). Dealing with the questionkof Disestab- lishment. Mr. Rees pointed out the im- portance of the younger generation, par- ticularly, being educated in the prin- ciples upon which the Welsh people parti- cularly were demanding a fair and just measure of religious equality. The fight h.'Vl been going on for so long that the cularly were demanding a fair and just measure of religious equality. The fight htl been going on for so long that the older people to-day had ceased to be as active as they were twenty years ago, and if Disestablishment was to become an accomplished fact, it rested largely with t the uprising generation (applause). Then there was the great Constitutional question of the position that the House of Lords should occupy in the British Parliament. The League would, by going into the historical study of the question, be able to assist very largely in propa- ganda work to bring about the result timed at by all Liberals, that of making the House of Commons. supreme (loud applause). At the close of the meeting, it was unanimously decided to form a branch of the League. Mr. Cyril Thomas was appointed secretary, and Dr. Chalke pre- sident. A strong executive committee was also selected, and a large number of names were given in of those willing to become members. A hearty vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Beddoe Rees for the clear and lucid manner in which he had dealt with the aims and objects of the League. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded s very enthuiastic meeting.
