Moored Memories. (Continued from Page 5.) There is one more New Year custom which was universal among the poor in the country districts wnen I was a boy, to which I would like to call attention. It was known as CRYNHOI CALENIG, the English of which is gathering New Year 3 gifts. Just before New Year's Day every farmers wife would be found busy baking a large quantity of small cakes, or picks" as they were called— something like the muffin, or plank bread of to-day. The quantity 0f tipse as vjfelK'f&a. their size and quality wo&U depend uj>on th|" importance of the farm and the generosity or otherwise of the farmer's wife. Thbe" picks" were to be given away on New Year's Day. Very early in the morning of that day, long before daylight, all the poor people of the neighbourhood would start out to make a round of the farms to collect these" picks-" Not only the parents but all the children who could carry a bag were pressed into the service on this day and they would trudge along from farm to farm in all weathers until their bags were full, and often have I seen whole families consisting of father and mother and three or four children plodding knee-deep throuh the snow, making for home with the well-filled bags upon their shoulders. I well remember some of them bringing their stock to our house to show us what they bad got at the different farms. It would be a mixed lot. From the large farm where the mistress would be of a benevolent disposition, there would be large picks made of white flour and perhaps a pieoe of cheese or bacon would be added, while from other farms the cakes would be emalILT in size and coarser in quality, but whether brown or white, large or small, they were equally acceptable in those days of low wages, and large families. I have heard a seamstress who used to sew for my mother saying that her father worked for years on one of the largest farms in the neighbourhood for sevenpence per day! with an occasional gift cf potatoes or barley meal, no wheaten bread and "0 fresh meat in those days! You may imagine therefore that the living in those homes was very scanty, and no wonder they looked forward to Uydd Calan. While those bags of picks s lasted these poor families had the time of their lives, for did it not mean having plenty to eat, for a few days at any rate. Let me conclude with a little incident which happened when I was a boy in order to show how the poor suffered in those days. My mother had missed a loaf of bread and was at a loss to know what had become of it. No one knew who had taken the loaf, but at last the secret was revealed. It appears that my brother was at a poor neigh- bour's house where he heard the children crying for bread, but there was none for them. He could not bear this, so he ran home and quietly took the loaf and shared it among the hungry children. Happily things have changed very much for the better since then. With better wages the standard of comfort has risen and the necessity for the poor to go from farm to farm begging for bread has ceased, and the practice of Crynhoi Calenig has disappeared, let us hope, for ever.
. KIDWELLY NOTES
KIDWELLY NOTES On (Friday, the 1st inst., a iiappy time was experi- enced by the school children of Kidwelly, who right royally were entertained by the mayor and mayoress (Mr.E. Bowen. J.P., and Mrs. Bowen, Rumsey House). At 2.60 p.m. a procession was formed on the tiillfield, the schools, headed by the Mynyddy- garreg Silver Band, moving off in the following order:—Castje Council, National,.HiliiieId Council, and Mountain Council, while membex-s of the Town "Council immediately preceded the Town Band, A liic;i brought up the rear. The route of the procession was as follows:-fhrough Rumsey Grounds (West- end entranoe), New-street Water-street, Castle street, Bridge-street, Pinged-hill, Alstred-street, Lady- street, returning via Bridge-street into the grounds of Rumsey House. The children were arranged in order on the paudock, and were regaled with tea, bread and butter and cake the catering being en- trusted to Mr. F. Sheppard, the Bakery, who was assisted by a host of willing hands. Atter tea the schools re-formed and niarched past the front entrance of the mansion, where the Mayor and Mayoress and their son, Mr. Thos. Bowen, assisted by lady visitors, handed the children packets of sweets. Tea was next served on the beautiful lawn to the aldermen and councillors, teachers and visitors. Sports followed in a field opposite the Boat and Shoe Inn, which had been lent for the purpose by Mr. D. S. Davies, London House. Valuable money prizes were offered, and a splendid programme of foot races was gone through. Dr. T. R. Griffiths and the head teachers of the schools acted as starters, and Mr. Thos. Bowen, Alderman S. H. Anthony, and Mr. Tom Thomas, Velindre, as judges. One of the most interesting and exciting events of the afternoon was a race for members of the Town Council, handi- capped according to age. Alderman D. G. Anthony made a gallant attempt to annex the pri.ze, leading for the greater part of the distance, but one of the younger' members proved more' fleet-footed and the race resulted as follows:—1st, Councillor John liar ries (Castle); 2nd. Alderman D. G. Anthony; and 3rd, Alderman S. H. Anthony. The Marathon race drew a very large number of competitors, and some really fine running was wit- nessed. The winners were: 1, Master Dyrrig Jones; 2, Master Baden Protheroe; 3, Master Evan Jas- Williams. The judges were assisted in the latter events by Mr. John Thomas, Velindre, whose assist- ance proved inv&lnable. The bands at intervals played selections of music during the afternoon, and towards the close their effort. were supplemented by the Male Voice Party, which gave several sweet renderings of well-known pieces. The distribution of prizes was made by the Mayoress and Mrs. Jflhn Thomas. At the close Mr. John Thomas proposed a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Bowen for so kindly entertaining the school children and others in, such a handsome manner. Their treat would ever be remembered by those who had participated in it (applause). Alderman D. G. Anthony in seconding included in the vote the name of Mr. Thos. Bowen, the son and heir, who had done so much in making the affair so successful (applause). The vote was carried with acclamation and the. company sang with gusto For they are jolly good fellows. The Mayor made a suitable response. After acknowledging the kind references made to himself and family by the mover and seconder of the vote of thanks, he said that he was glad to be able to give pleasure to tho children of the town. He had never seen such a large number of children 80 well behaved as his guests of the afternoon (hear. hear). The behaviour of the children reflected credit ou I the head teachers of the schools and their staffs, and he took that opportunity of thanking them for their assistance. The excellent conduct of their charges augured well for the future of the town (applause). In response to calls. Mr. Thos. Bowen added a few appropriate words. his parents he was delighted to have given pleasure to such a large number of townspeople of Kidwelly. He hoped to do more in the future (applause). The evening was devoted to dancing on the lawn in the grounds of Rumsey House. In the original programme provision was made for a display of fireworks at 8.30, but owing to the non-arrival of the parcel, this interesting item had to be aban- doned. f

I met a cuppl of Shonis and when they tek ther holideis sumbodi has tw suffur with a bad hed ffor it, and it ié me, Twm, this teim. Do yiw know wat I was thinking abowt the uthur dei. Abowt Pan and his van. Yiw know that D.D. ffrom Mostyn. He has been running abowt in his carrarvan yelling that the earth will bekum the properti of the oeeple. He was seing that the ole lanlords w-er tirants 'and that their was rackrenting. 0, it was a prett: stori, enuff to pull teers ffrora a ded munki's windows. Wel, Twm wans twi that ole Pan has been preeching the triwth, but not leik Twm. Twm is preech th hole triwth. Now the land ia cumming to the neeple, but do they benifit by that. I was heer that wan place was rented ffor Ten Pownds a yer bei the lan- lord. The place was sold bei akshon and it was sold ffor JB650. Isn't that a fein spesimen of rak- renting. In neerly evri case wher Sarins hav been sold they see! dearer than the rents. Now Twm is not want to preech politix but aimpli to show that D.D.'s dont alweis know what they are talk- ing abow. Yiw what yiw wil, but yiw cant mek neinpens owt of Forepens, no not evn if you go to Loid Jorj's mint ffor them. If the oeeple wants the land they must pay ffor it, and when it cums to stumping up the dibs, wd. the band begins to play, and they find that Pan and his Van are on the rong side of the road. Anuther case. A certen lanlord sold a lot of his estete. He give the tenants a chans to buy their farms preivetly at a price to be fixt by valiwashun. The lot of them bought thorn and they did veri wel bekos the farms d— not go into the opn market. Wel wan of the tenants who bought his farm had a small farm of his own.

At a special meeting of the Penrhiwpal Petty Sessions, held at the Newcastle-Emlyn Magistrates' Room on Tuesday, before Sir Marteine Lloyd, Bart (chairman), Rev. D. Griffiths, Mr. Thomas Dalies, and Mr. E. Lewes Bowen. D.C.C. Williams charged William Davies, Cern- maesmawr, and Evan Davies, Dolgoch, farm ser- vants, with inflecting grievous bodily harm upon John Jones, Crymantfach, Troedyraur. The caso was adjourned from the monthly sessions. Mr. Roy Evans appeared for defendants. John Jones, Crymantfach, labourer, stated he re- membered haymaking at Cefnmaesbach in June, when a certain conversation took place between witness and others. On the 18th of June between 9 and 10 p.m. defendants and two servants 01 Troedyraur came to his house. The accused called witness out of the house. His wife went out first and witness followed. Evan Davies asked witness if he would withdraw his words. Witness asked him what words. Evan Davies did not reply, but began to beat witness with a. stick. Witness tried, to defend himself. Evan Davies then caught him by the neck, and William Dalles hitting him with a stick. Witness could do nothing, because Evan Davies held him while the otr beat him. His! lhree-year-old child came forward, and took hold nf witness's legs. Witness's wife came on to take away the eh-Id, and phe was struck across the back. Witness afterwards found the first stick used by Evan Davies. (Witness picked out the stick: re ferred to, from two formidable weapons produced and stated to have been used that night.) Thomas- AJons, Crymant Farm, was present and sawall, that took place, and it was he who toon away the second stick from William Davies. Witness went down to Dr. Powell that night, and he attended to him. Witness had been very ill since then, and was unable to attend at Penrhiwpal last Tuesday week. He was not well yet. After the sticks were taken away from defendants they ran away. He never Sid anything wrong to either of the defendants. Witney was cross-examined by Mr. Roy Evans at some length. Thomas Bowen, Troedyraur, farm servant, said he and D. J. Jones saw both defendants the night before the assault in a field near Troedyraur. They: afterwards came up Jo the cross roads. Evan Davies asked witness where John was. He said he wanted to see him about withdrawing his words which were uttered at Cefnmaesgach while hay- making. He said if John would not withdraw his words lie would thrash him, and if nnable to do so with his hand he would use a stick: He said they would go up to Crymantfach the following night. Evan Davies beat witness the same night, and William Davies beat his fellow servant. They saw defendants the following night (18th) and they asked where John was. They replied that they thought he was at home. They left for Crymant- fach, and they followed. Evan Davies shouted for John to come out. The wife came out first, and then John Jones. Witness afd his friends tried to prevent defendants from beating- John Jones., Cros.«examined by Mr. Roy Evans, witness said he was not on fr endly term« with the defendants. Thomas Jones, Crymant Farm, corroborated. Dr. Powell. Newcsatle-Emlyn, stated that prose- cutor came into his surgery about 11 p.m„ com- plaining of wounds about his head. He had a contused wound about four inches long at the back of his head wh ch he dressed in the usual way. r-r dressing him h. became faint, and vonstable' Richards, who was present, went for a motor to take him home. He made a speedy recovery without ahy complications. At present he practically all right. The wounds were consistent with the use of st cks and it was a serious injury. Ir. Roy Evans said that so far as the facts were concerned the case was much exaggerated, and his defence was that the assault had been done in self- defence. The magistrates committed both men for trial at the next Quarter Sessions, bail being allowed in j35 fh.

TWMLETS COMPETITION, CERIES…
TWMLETS COMPETITION, CERIES IV. AMENDED RESULT. We regret that through an unfortunate inadver- tence the prizes were wrongly awarded in this com- petition. The first prize cannot be awarded to Mr. Cyrus Henry, Drcfach, Llanarthney, as announced last week, as he ignored the exact rules of the com. petition. The judges, when considering his attempt placed his coupon on top of the winning coupons instead of among- the losers. The amended result must therefore be as follows:— 1st Prize-Mr. H. Evans. (Caretaker), County Offices, Carmarthen. 2nd Prize-Hannah Thomas, 26, Thomas Street, Llanelly. CONSOLATION PRIZES. Mrs. E. Roberts, Bronwvdd Parish Road, Ynysy- bwl. S. 0., Velindre, Henllan. Mr. W. Jones, Blaenwaun, Pentre Court. Mr. W. Basil Williams, Rectory, Dinas Cross Pern.
BAZAAR AT LLANDOVERY
BAZAAR AT LLANDOVERY IN AID OF THE INSTITUTE. SUCCESSFUL UNDERTAKING. On Thursday last there was a distinguished gather- ing at the new Llandovery Reading-room and Insti- tute, the occasion being the opening of a bazaar in aid of the Institute. Long before the hour at which the function was to be performed the main hall of the building was crowded to suffocation. Mr. Gwynne-Hughes., Tregeyb, presided. Others on the platform included Mrs. Gwynne-Hughes, Lady St. Davids (who performed the opening ceremony!, the Hon. Roland Philipps, Mr. E. P. Lloyd, D.L., Glan- sevin; Councillor T. Roberts (chairman of committee) and Mrs. Roberts, Mr. W. J. Esmond (hon. secre- tary), Rev. T. E. Thomas, Councillor J. Prytherch (treasurer), Master George Pryse Rice and Miss Pryse Rice, Llwynybrain; Rev. H. If or James, Rev. D. Rhydderch, B.A., Rev. D. J. Henry, B.A., Mr. Phillips. Picton Court (president of ladies' com- mittee), Mrs. Griffiths, Brynderw (treasurer of ladies' committee); Mrs. David Jones, King's-road (joint secretary of ladies' committee); Mrs. Rees, Y Fron (joint secretary of ladies' committee). The Chairman extended a warm welcome to Lady St. Davids, who was associated with all the bigg'est movements they had in this country and no deserving object failed to enlist her support. The bazaar was to assist in clearing the debt on the Llandovery Reading Room and Institute, and he hoped they wouid dip their hands deep in their pockets and give all the financial support they could.. Lady St. Davids, who received quite an ovation on rising, was presented with a beautiful bouquet by Miss Dillys Roberts, a daughter of Councillor. T. Roberts, an ex-mayor of the town and chairman of the committee. Miss Roberts was attired in Welsh costume. She said they were all very pleased to see Lady St. Davids present, and hoped she would spend a very happy time amongs. them. Lady St. Davjdfe said when they opened an institu- tion such as this they opened a new vista of possi- bilities for men and women a new opportunity was created for variety in work and leisure and happiness. Human happiness depended on the good use we made of all our faculties and this institution would help them to make good use of their leisure (applause). Here they might do many things. They might learn and be learnt. They might sit down and be thought- ful or get up and go on. Leisure would wind them up for their work and it was necessary to unwind a little in order to screw up our courage to the stick- ing point to do good work. The remedy for work was to get a little more work, but work of a different kind. The important business in life was to make something. The world to-day was so occupied with business and the materialistic, that the impression was that you must have some hard stuff to make anything; but she reminded them that the Latin poets were called the makers because they made the ideals. They must have a pattern before they had per- formance. They had to hive the idea before they had the act, and she congratulated them on having attained the ideal in that institution, which although it was not a British Museum or a Westminster Abbey, rolled in one, would nevertheless in its way prove an admirable institution (cheersf. The Hon. Roland Philipps then spoke. Councillor T. Roberts (chairman of committee) moved a hearty vote of thanks to Lady St. Davids for opening the Institute in such a graceful way. The Rev. D. Rhydderch, B.A.. seconded. On the rev..gentleman's invitation, Lady St. Davids and the Hon. Roland Philipps were accorded three rousing cheers. The Rev. D. J. Henry, B.A.. proposed a Very hearty vote of thanks to the chairman. He dealt on Mr. Gwymie-Hughes's many good deeds, ;).iit" Gulaåy in the town of Llandilo.. Rev. H. Ifor James seconded.

Lewis, Brynglas; Dr. Timothy, Pontar cothi; Mr. Bramfield and party, Neath; Mr. Harold Bear; Mr. and Mrs. Ratcliff Morgan, etc. An early art was made, and hounds had a faint touch near the railway bridge over the Cothi. Moving llP the river, they got on a drag above Alltyferin, which improved as it went on until they got twe nlilea higher up. The drag was getting stronger all the time, and when about two miles from Brechf"- hounds got fheir fpiarry, and after a splendid hunt killed a beautiful otter weighing twenty-two pounds- Hounds went up stream at a tremendous pace. 011(i never once faltered. The Master presented the mask to Air. Stokes, Alltvfecin, and the pole of the j udder to Miss Ecles. The party then returned to Alityferin, where Mrs. Bath kindly entertained the hunt to very welcome refreshments. It is gratifying to learn that the pack are doing wonderfully well this sean. and making quite a big name for them- selves. They hardly return without a kill and 111 some days even account for three otters.
