CYNWYL ELFED. Blin genym orfod cofnodi marwolaeth y chwaer anwyl, Mrs. Mary Phillips, Cwm, Cynwyl, yr hyn a gymerodd le, wedi mis- oedd maith o gysludd trwm ar y 19eg o fis Rhagfyr, a hi yn 75 mlwydd oed. Y Llun dilynol daeth tyrfa luosog yng nghyd i dalu parch i'w choffadwriaeth, ac i osod ei gwedd- illion marwol i orphwys yn Macpelah y teulu ym mynwent eglwys y Methodistiaid yng Nghynwyl.

Yr oedd yn w^stad yn araf a doeth. Ni fyddai un amser yn draff- erthus, ao eto ni fu neb yn fwy cynncs ei chroesaw. Bu yn ymgeledd ffyddlon i'w phriod. ao yn fam dyner a gofalus i'w phlant. Yr oedd yn aelod gyda'r Methodistiaid yng Nghynwyl, a bu yn ffyddlawn tra y )arhaodd ei nherth. Gadawodd briod oedranus, wyth o blant, a llawer o wyrion, a pherthynasau eraill, o'i hoi yn eu colled a'u hiraeth; ac yr oedd un o'r meibion, yr hwn a fu'n gweini gyda'r gofat mwyaf arni yn ei chystudd hir, yn wael yn ei wely gan gystudd trwm ar ddydd ei harwyl.

Cardiganshire Standing Joint Committee The Rev. John Williams, Cardigan, pre- sided over the quarterly meeting of the above committee held at Lampoter on Thursday, ICth .in!ft. complaint was read firom a party with regard to obtaining per- mit from the Chief Constable, who had not replied to it.—The Chief Constable stated that it was not in his power, to 2frant the request. It was for the user to take the cpr if he was within his rights in doing so. —Chairman: Then it was not necessary to ¡:. into the matter anv further.—Mr. C. M. W llluum; considered the matter was not one they could pass over so lightly. Some car? had run that day fotr the same pur- pose from Aberystwyth, although from there the train service was quite conveni- .ent.-Thc matter then dropped. POLICE WAR BONUS. The question of the policemen's war bonus was again or: the agenda and a let- ter had been received from the Home Office. It stated that it was clear that after the war there would fall a heavy charge upon the rates, and that any increase should b« given by way of a terminable allowance. It should, 'however, "be suffi- cient to attract recruits for the force.— The Finance Committee at their quarterly meeting had recommended that a further bonus of one shilling per week be granted. (The bonus already granted was 6s. a week).—Mr. C. M Williams stated he was in favour of a greater amount than one shilling—Mr. E. J. Davies said he would like to move that they considerably ex- ceeded what the Finance Committee re- commended He was very much surprised at the niggardly way the Finance Com- mittee had dealt with the question. They ought to do what was fair. The county was already short of many men, and the others had to make up the difference. He proposed giving a. flat rate of 10s. weekly .var bonu*; that meant, making the bonus up to 10s. by adding 4s. to the 6s. already granted.—Mr C. M. Williams: That could not be taken. It was not on the agenda.— Mr E. J. Davies replied that it arose out of the report of the Finance Committee. Mr. J. M. Howell considered that if 33s. 3d. a week was sufficient for first-class con- stables in 1914, then he thought tha the 10s. extra would only place them in the same position as then.—Rev. W. Griffiths, Maeny groes: I do not think it do" -N.lr.. J. M. Howell said he was surprised to hear Mr. C. M. Williams asking them to look at other counties. They should not be too weak hearted to look at things themselves. Further than that, rhev had had returns from other countias. Merionethshire had always been considered a county resembling Cardiganshire, and they had granted a war bonus of 10s., and it would be quite safe to follow their example. The Finance Com- mittee erred on the side of economy, but there that day they should be honourable if not gonerous in the treatment of the force. -The Rclv. W. Griffiths felt that the pay was very small previous to the war. and he felt inclined to move that a bonus of one shilling for ach child under 14 years of age be granted in addition to the 10s.- Mr J M. Howell seconded—Sir Lawence Jenkins asked what would be the result of the shilling per child bonus. lie had no idee what it would amount to. The Chief Constable said fie had gone into the matter rai.ed by Sir Lawrence, and he found that there were 40 children under 14 years of age and the cost would be about B100 a Tinr.-Tlie Chairman said he wished to be as liberal as possibie, but he doubted whether the children's bonus would be in order.-Ultimately the Rev. W. Griffiths withdrew his proposition for the children s shiUing on I the condition that should an application for such bonus be made, that it received a. sympathetic hearing. The extra bonus of 4s. weekly was agreed to. CHIEF CONSTABLE'S REPORT. The Chief Constable, in his report, re- ported that the constable s house at Ystrad was a part of the Brynog Estate, which was shortly to be sold by auction. The home had been occupied by the police for ma.ny years No ;aclion w'as directed to I be taken in view of the approaching sale. In October the police took a census for the Live Stock Officer of all butchers, cattle eq dealers, auctioneers, slaugJiter-houses, etc., in the county, and again during the past month they had taken a census of all cattle, sheep, and pigs. This work tiad taken up a great deal of the time of the police and had entailed a considerable amount of extra travelling- On the 17th inst.. the Home Secretary wrote expressing his appreciation of the efficient manner in which the police took census of horses and I mulos in April last. On the 20th inst., the Assistant Provost Marshall, Western Com- mand, Chester, wrote expressing his grate- ful appreciation of the assistance rendered by the polioe to the Military Authorities during the past year.

Lampeter County Court The Lampeter County Court was held on Saturday before His Honour Judge Lloyd Morgan, K.C. John Davies, Bwlchmawr, Llanwenog, summoned Rees Ll. Evans, Gelli House, Llanybyther, to recover the sum of 212 10s., the value of potatoes sold. Mr. Trevor C. Hughes (Messrs. A. Hughes and Hughes) ap- peared for plaintiff, and Mr. C. Denham Evans for defendant. Plaintiff's solicitor eaid that defendant purchased a ton of pota- toes from plaintiff which were to be deli- vered at Llanybyther station on the follow- ing Monday. Defendant however, sent to him on Saturday not to send them until he heard from him. He asked him several times when he was going to take delivery. The potatoes were eventually destroyed by frost. Plaintiff giving evidence bore out hie solicitor's opening. He said the potatoes were from the same lot as those previously sold to defendant.—Defendant giving evi- dence saict he purchased the potatoes from plaintiff as good eating potatoes. He had previously purchased two tons which he had sent to Glamorganshire. He went to see the potatoes in the storehouse in regard to the quantity, but he never examined them. He wanted several tons, but Davies said he could only spare one ton. He had a wire from Glamorganshire that the first potatoes sent were diseased. He then sent a letter to plaintiff that he did not want the potatoes and that he was at liberty to re-sell them. No mention was made by plaintiff to him about the potatoes afterwards and the first intimation he had was his solicitor's letter.— The case was adjourned until next court for the attendance of the person who purchased the first lot of potatoes. Daniel Davies, Blaenpant, Creuddyn Bridge, sued Mrs. Williams, Dolauboidiau, Pontrhydfendigaid, for L12 UOs., damages for the loss of a heifer. Mr. W. Reginald Lloyd appeared for plaintiff, and Mr. C. Denham Evans for defendant. Mr. Lloyd said that plaintiff purchased two heifers from defendant at Tregaron market. One heifer did not look up to the standard. When this was pointed out to defendant's son, he stated that if there was anything wrong with the heifer plaintiff could get it for nothing. The heifer eventually died from tuberdtllosis. Plainti,ff giving evidence bore out this state- ment and said that he noticed something wrong with the heifer as soon as he left Iregaron. It grew worse and died on 31st -j 1 n Jones, Llwynfedw, Llan- arth, said he was called in June and treated the heifer, which died on 31st August. He made a post mortem examination and found she was in an advanced stage of consump- uon. In his opinion she wae suffering from tuberculosis when plaintiff bought her— Defendant's son giving evidence denied that any warranty was given and called witnesses to corroborate his story.-The Judge gave a verdict for defendant, holding that no war- ranty had been proved. He stated, however, tha,t he was very sorry for plaintiff.

Lampeter Food Control Committee. A meeting of the above was held at the Victoria Hall on Wednesday evening, Jan. f'x.L Iier?,, ^avie.fl called attention to the fact that their discussions were re- vealed outside the committee-room by ^r-j ier' l4i was wronfir to con- demn individual members for what was passed by the committee as a whole, and he trusted no complaints would be heard in future The ypress acted worthily every T Tf ^i/man and Mr. Evan Evans agreed Mr. Walter Davies brought for- ward a complaint made by a bacon-curer in the town of excessive profiteering. He had sold some bacon to a Swansea man at Is. 9d. per lb., which was sold at Swansea for 28.. 6d per Ib It was decided, on the proposition of Mr. Walter Davies, seconded oy Mr. D. DaVies, to call the attention of the proper authorities to the matter.—The Ministry of Food wrote asking the com- mittee to re-consider the retail price of milk, which was lei. per quart, and, on the pi-opogition of Mr. D. Davies, seconded by Mr. W. Davies (Bryn-road), it was de- cided to ask the milk vendors to meet the committee on Friday evening to discuss ,e ^atler-~A letter was recaived from Mr t. G. Smith, secretary of the local branch of the National Union of Railway- mien, requesting the committee to control the sale of butter and margarine, eo that no shop should have preference over ano- ther. and that the commodities should be divided equally. The committee decided to carry out the suggestion ohould occa- sion arise, but felt that that extremity had not yet arisen.—Discussion took place re the sale and distribution of live stock and meat, which would be 50 per cent. less in future than it was in October. 1917. It was decided to grant the necessary certifi- cates to the local butchers.—On Friday evening, 14 milk-vendors appeared at the hall in response to the committee's invita- tior. to settle the price of milk. The chair- man (Mr. J. S. Jones) congratulated the milk-vendors upon their excellent response. ^ccinmittee had considered the matter carefully, and asked them if they were pre- pared to accept 5d. per quart from the following Sunday until March 31.—Mr. Walter Davies said the committee wished III I 6?] rty. in the matter and in order tnat the milk-vendors could discuss the question freely among themselves, the com- mittee decided to leave the room. -When the committee returned, Mr. Evans, Ffynonfair, acted as spokesman for his colleagues, and said they had decided to accept 6d. per quart to the end of March, but were mclined to charge 6d. from April I-Several speakers having spoken, a vote was taken when there were only two dissentients t" 5d. per quart. After March 31, the comnoittee guaranteed that the price would be less than 5d. per quart, but the rat.k--vendors could rely upon being honourably treated. I

Ben F/vans, Gw as tod Abbot, presiding.—An application was made by Mr A. N Davies, solicitor, Lampeter, for a further extension of six months from the avmx in which he held a commission. He managed a big farm and the extended period asked for would cover 'the busy season His service 011 the farm for the period asked for would be of more national limportance than: by being an officer in the service.—It wa", explained that Mr. Davies was magistrates' cierk at Lainpetor, but this work was being done by a deputy. Mr. Davies would devote his time to the farm. The number of sheep on the farm in 1914 was 1,523, and in 1917 10,038. He had also been asked to plough ten acres this season.—The committee de- cided to recommend the extension. SHORTAGE OF OIL. Replying to the committee's letter in re- gard to shortage of parrafin for farm oil engines, the Board of Agriculture wrote stating that owmg to the uncertainty of petroleum cargoes arriving in this country it would be impossible to avoid a tem- porary shortage occurring from time to time. Any specific cases coming to the notice of the department were taken up by the Petrol Distribution Committee who en- deavoured to carry out immediate de- liveries.—Mr. W. Harris, Dryellwyn, thought the department ought to "give preference to those who used oil machines on farms. EXEMPTIONS. EXEMPTIONS. Mr. John Da;vies, Brynclen, Llangeler, wrote asking tho committee to support the military exemption of Benj. Evans, black- smith, Pentrecourt. He stated that the military were appealing against his exemp- tion granted by the Newcastle-Emlyn tri- bunal. The man was indispensable to the farmers of the district, who had signed a petition for his retention. Three smithys in t.he district had been closed, and the man's work had been more than trebled.— ,The Chairman said Llangeler was one of the most important corn and potato-g'row- ing districts in the county, and they must retain the local smith.—On the motion ot Aid. John Lloyd, Penybank, it was decided to reoommend the appeal tribunal to grant exemption. Farmers in Merthyr parish petitioned the committee for support to the appeal for a renewal of exemption for James Jones, wheelwright.—The committee decided to take no action pending the decision of the local tribunal first of all. Ald. F. D. W. Drummond said many similar appeals were made to the committee and they should not support them indis- criminately. SALE OF LAMB EWES. In the course of discussion, it was stated that lamb ewes were being sold for slaugh- ter in certain marts in West Wales. Aid. F. D. W. Drummond, who is Commissioner of Live Stock for South Wales, said he was glad to recieive the information becaufe he would put a stop to it It was a distinct i violation of the order under the Defence of the Realm, and the Ministry of Food only wanted to detect one or two offenders. The maximum penalty was B100 and six months. SOLDIERS ON THE LAND. The Board of Agriculture suggested that a horse officer should be appointed in each county to supervise the horsefc hired by the committee to farmers.—The Agricul- tural Organiser (Mr. Daniel Johns) said at present tne committee had seven horses.— The Chairman said the committee should thoroughly organise the matter so that they migiit keep five or six horses in different centres in the county, and that farmers might hire them easily.—Ques- tioned as to the qualifications for agricul- tural work of the soldiers sent to work on the land in the county, Mr. Daniel Johns said they were hopeless.—The Chair- man said a man who had been doing other work up to forty years was absolutely useless at the plougih; but a man who had been on a farm in his young days would soon be able to plough.—Mr. W. Harris said the best thing would be to substitute men in the collieries who had been on farms, and get them to come back to the plough. MORE CULTIVATION. Mr. Johns expressed the opinion that the four cultivation officers already appointed would not be able to visit all the farms in the county in the time at their disposal— up- to the end of May.—Mr. Thomas 1 nomas, Llangennech, said it was perfect- ly 'dent that farmers did not realise yelt that they had to plough an incre ued quota of iand this year. In every case co.-ong before the committee the farmer sa<H he was going to do his best, which mea it that he was going to do as little as Po,-bIc v//ls r me the committee sho-i'.d wake up the farmers alid perhaps appoint one or two more cultivation officers in order to ,,te that al farmers put under the plough the quc/!a lalloted to (them.-Mr. Johns was reuqested to report to the next meeting officers necessity of more cultivation SALARIES. The committee reconsidered the salarv of t k j ^rthur' the kb°ur officer.—Mr. John said Mr. Arthur wae doing his work three months at J670 a year. He did a tremendous amount of work now.-Mr. Ben John said Mr. Arthur was doig his work ^rough manner, and proposed that he be giyen £ 150 a year.-It was agreed to grant him JB12 a month. The salary of Mr. F. T. Price, clerk in Mr. Daniel i-obnls (,fflee was increased f-rom £12Q to E156 a year.

ABERAYRON. A meeting of the Local Food Control Committee was held on Tuesday of last week, when the chairman, Mr D. A. Davieis, presided. The local butchers'were asked to attend, and the Meat (Restric- tions) Order was fully explained to them +iT i F-T »\lXC Officer. It was suggested that the butchers should immediately form themselves into a committee; and appoint a chairman and secretary, in order that they might be in a better position to carry out the scheme, under which they are in future limited to 50 per cent. only of tho quantity of meat sold in October. The funeral took place on Saturday at Neuaddflwyd of Mr. James Evans, Waigr street, who died the previous Wednesdav at the age of 83 years. Deceased was a native of this town, but had spent a great part of his life in Glamorgan and Mon- mouthshire, working at his trade as a shoemaker. Some seven or eight years ago he returned here and lived in retirement. He will be missed by a host of friends, and especially so at Peniel (C.) Chapel, where he was a faithful and useful mem- ber. The death .took place on Sunday last ot William James Evans, 5, Oxford-street, at the age of 16 years. He suffered a linger- ing illness, but he kept very cheerful to the last. General sympathy is felt for his mother and sister. Mr. W. J. Phillips, auctioneer, etc., has, we understand, been appointed an agent for the Llanayron Estate. We congratu- late Mr. Phillips upon his appointment; A supply of petroleum ie expected in the town this week. This will be welcome news for many, who were compelled for the last couple of weeks to use candles as the only means of lighting their homes. Though there is a scarcity of foodstuffs in the town at present, especially butter and margarine, it is not thought that there is any real suffering among the inhabi- tants. The local traders Oil the whole have used discretion in distributing what sup- plies they haVe evenly among their cus- tomers.

Butter in Carmarthen District COMMITTEE ABOLISH THE FIXED PRICE, Carmarthen Rural District Food Control Committee on Saturday, Mr. Dd. Stephens (Llanarthney) presiding, decided to abolish the fixed maximum price of butter-2s. 2d. per lb. wholesale, and 2s. 3d retail. It was stated that the price of imported butter was 2s. 6d. per lb., and Mr M. J. Evans (Mydrim) said .somo farmers sold Welsh butter at St. Clears for 2s. 6d. per lb.-Ir. John Jones (FeTryside), who moved the resolution, said they ouplht to have a uniform price for butter.—Mr. B. Salmon (St. Clears): It is absurd for the Government to fix the price of imported butter at 2s 6d, while Welsh butter is fixed at 2s. 3d.—Rev. J. Rerbert (Llan- llawddog): Butter at 2s. 3d. a pound is high enough, and we ought to bring the price of the imported butter down rather than rise the price of our own butter. I think we should adhere to the same price. —Mr. John Jones- Butter men are pena- lised in my opinion; 2s. 6d. is not too much to charge for a pound of butter ac- cording to the prices of other things. The prices of imported butter cannot be re- duced. The Llanelly Rural District Com- mittee fix 2s. 44d for their butter.—Mr. Wm. Williams (Abergwili) said colliers had told him they were willing to give any price for butter as long as they could get it.—Another member remarked that the fact that colliers and others were prepared to pay 2s. 6d. and more for butter was the reason why those who did not earn high wages were unable to obtain the com- modity—It was decided to abolish the pre- sent order. It was explained by the Clerk that the wholesale price would now be 2s. 2d and the retail 2s. 4 £ d.—Rev. J. Herbert and Mr. M. J. Evans (Mydrim) voted against the motion.—Mr. M. J. Hvans: What will be the maximum price for farmers to so)' their butter?—The Clerk: If he retails up to 71b«. he gets 2s. 4 £ d., but any amount over that is the Government price-29. 2d. MEAT DISTRIBUTION. A meeting of the butchers of the Car- marthen Rural Disrict was held at the Shire Hall on Saturday afternoon to con- sider the distribution of live stock and meat. Mr. Thomas, St. Clears, was elected chairman, and Mr. Ransome, Cefneithin, secretary.

LAMPETER. Many inquiries are being made as to the docisiosi of tho Town Council refipectiing the library established at the Victoria Hall. At present, the books bought axe lying idle and unread in a cupboard, whereas they should be circulated among people in the town. The college and school have their libraries, and some better use could be made of the bokos at the Victoria Hall. We trust some member of the Town Coun- cil will can attention to this grievance, and get that body to move in the matter. The caro! singers have succeeded beyond all expectations in their good work, and have collected a substantial sum towards the Blinded Sodliers' Fund. On Thursday night, they visited Falcondale. where they received a hearty welcome from Major Harford and some friends. They sang in the hall, and afterwards were invited to partake of a sumptuous supper in the dining-room. This, however, was not all, for they left the mansion with a good sum of money subscribed by Mr. Harford and his friends. Whatever object the Falcon- dale family are asked to help, a favourable answer can be relied on, as they are noted for their goodness towards efvery good cause. It is rot the shopkeeoerp only who carry on the low game of profiteering, but cer- tam manufacturers stoop to it. On Satur- day night last, we saw what ostensibly appeared to be a quarter pound packet of a certain brand of cocoa, but on opening it the contents only weitrhed two ounces, although the full price for a quarter lb. keeper di dnot wknow of Om InhT had been charged. Of course, the shop- keeper did not lmow of this, so that he and the customer were defrauded. On Monday wening, the Rev. J. T. Job, the eminent Welsh poet, delivered a lecture on Williams, Pantycelyn," at Shiloh Chapel, when several of his hymns were sung by the large congregation. Domestic, servants are difficult to get these days, and no wonder when one comes to think how they have been treated. MWny masters and mistresses have more compassion for a dog or cat than their servants, and ma.ny servants have been half-starved in the past. This is a great mis- take, because if servants are not properly respected and fed, one cannot expect them to fulfil their duties faithfully and well. The domestic servants of Lampeter and otheJ- parts of the county should combine together and form a union for their own protection, and grievances which now exist would vanish. There are, however, noble examples of good and thoughtful employers, whose servants remain in their service for long years or until they are married. Owing to the scarcity of meat, the Food Control Committee has issued instructions that he meat shall be sold on Wednesday, and restaurant keepers are forbidden to supply meat to their customers on that day unless it happens to be a fair day. St. Dayid s College School was re-opened after the Christmas holidays on Tuesday, and to-day (Thursday) the students of the College will return from their holidays. The District Education Committee met on Friday. Present: Rev. K Evans (chairman), Mrs. M. E. Evans, Councillor Joseph Evans, Messrs. D. T. ;,O,nes (clerk), and E. J. Davies (attendance officer).—The tenders for the supply of coals to the schools until the end of April were also considered, and it was decided that 2s. 6d. per ton We added in each case to the price paid before the end of the past year.

Military Notes and Queries [By Our Military Expert.] J. J.—If the lad were still under the same Divisional General as previously refused to paes on the commission recommendation be- cause he was not an N.C.O., then, in the ordinary way, nothing could be done until the lad secured the essential stripe. But, despite the Divisional General's ideas, if the lad is still serving in a Training Keeerve battalion, it may now be possible for him to secure the commission—because of an Army Council instruction which was issued list month, whereby the C.O. of each Training Reserve battalion is empowered to select two young soldiers each month for transfer to a Cadet battalion for training for com- missions. This knocks on the head the pre- judice of the Generals who refused to re- commend young private" soldiers for com- missions. The number of this Army Council Instruction is 1797/1917. The course to ,follow is to write to the C.O. of the battalion asking him kindly to accord your son the advaaitage of it. I am strongly of opinion that, in view of the circumstances, he will do so. I shall be glad to hear again from you as to result—which, need I add, I sin- cerely hope will be good! Wondering.—As you havo reached the age of 41 since being discharged as medically unfit, you are now no longer liable for mili- tary service, even though you did not serve overseas at all. Mrs. J. M.—If the mother was previously dependent on her son she is eligible for pen- sion, or gratuity in lieu, and, even if she were not previously dependent on him, she can claim pension if she is in pecuniary need. Extra Pension.—A widow with one child is entitled to a scale pension of 18s. 9d. per week--136. 9d. for herself and 5s. for the child. If, as in the case you mention, the husband regularly earned 22 10s. per week before joining, then the widow can claim that her 18s. 9d. shall be increased to J61 5s. Application for this increase must be made through the local War Pensions Committee. T.S. You can, within 14 days after pre- sent exemption expires, apply for its re- n^wal unless, of course, it was granted on the express condition that no further applica- tion could be made. You could then bring up personal hardship grounds. Anyhow, until the case was disposed of you could not be called up. Mrs. J.-Unless your son in the A.S. Corps who is on the 6s. a day rate of pay makes an allotment in your favour from his pay, then, I am sorry to inform you, you cannot obtain any Army allowance. Com- pulsory allotments are not abolished in the oace of men enlisted at the 6s. a day rate of pay. Canteens.—Men serving in the Expedi- tionary Force, Canteen Section, of the O.b.C., cannot claim any separation allow- ance for their wives, or other dependents, but can make a claim on Civil Liabilities Committee for rent, insurance, etc., grants. Seventy. If in receipt of an Army separa- tion allowance of 12s. a week then you are aocording to the strict Letter of the regula- tions, entitled only to Is. a week Old Age Pension. But perhaps your Local Old Age Pensions Committee may not adhere strictly to the regulations. F.K—You are under no obligation to supply Local Pensions Committee with in- formation as to your earnings; but in any cage rate of pension awarded you could ndt be reduced because of your earnings. Of course, if the award is temporary, it will be revised at end of period according to state of your health. At that re-examination you can decline to state-if asked-what your earnings are. Ignoramus.—If you were married before November 3rd, 19115, and attained the age of 41 before June 84th. 1916, you can claim to be excused service with the colours. O.F. You should not return the exemp- tion certificate to the Tribunal, but should, a few days before it is due to expire, submit an application for a renewal of same. Soldier's Wife.—A soldier's wife is not, unfortunately, entitled to have her rent paid for her by the authorities. But if the rent she is paying exceeds 4s. a week, a grant for the amount by which it exceeds 4s. may be secured by her on application to Local War Pensions Committee. Father.—For son earning only 16s. 6d. a week before being called up, you can claim an allowance from the Army—but, of course [ml/ a very very small sum would be gran- Nevertheless, it is advisable to secure this if possible. He should make the appli- cation himself, if serving at home; otherwise you should on a form obtainable at post office. Carmarthen Boy.—A substitute is sup- posed to work the hours, and receive the pay, customary for the industry in the loca- lity in which he is employed. But you are entitled to a minimum wage of. per week less of course the cost of aiiy board and lodging provided for you. At the same time I think the hours you are being re- quired to put in are excessive, and that the pay you are receiving, even if your board and lodging are being provided, is much too low; that, in fact, you are being sweated somewhat. I certainly advise that you bring the facts to the notice of the recruiting officer who arranged your substitution. Failing satisfaction from him, write to the Secretary, Board of Trade (Substitution De- partment), Whitehall, London, S.W.
