BY THE WAY.
BY THE WAY. The Urban Council elections have produced some surprising results this year, and again demonstrate the love of the ratepayer for change. It is not always because the ser- vices of a member of a local council are not appreciated that he is sometimes defeated; he may have performed excellent work, but the elector says "Let us see what So-and-So will do," and in So-and-So goes to take his turn among the defeated after his term of offioe. There is not much gratitude about electors as a body. They soon forget; their memory is exceedingly bad; thTIe are some things they do not wish to remember, and other things they don't trouble to recall to mind. That is why so many things are done with impunity by local authorities—things which if done a fortnight or so preceding election day would result in opposition for re- tffthg candidates and make the electorate de-I termined to oust the old member as a sign of its disapproval. There are many people who dislike canvassing, but a candidate not known to the vast body of ratepayers cannot do anything better than canvas to make him- self known unless he addresses a public meet- ing. And public meetings in most local elec- tions have gone out of fashion of late years, more is the pity. They created interest in local affairs, and kept that interest alive, with the result that there was more efficient and more strenuous service on the part of our public men than there is to-day. In the elections in this district three old members failed to secure return, and the most surprising result was that in the Pon- tycymmer Ward, where an old member of many years' service and with much influence was defeated, in the person of Mr. Thomas Williams, of the Llanharran Hotel. His seat for many years has been regarded as safe. Yet a Labour candidate comes into the field,, and when one would have thought Labour weak, owing to military calls upon its rank and file, Mr. A. Day gets home with thirteen votes to the good. The new mem- ber, we have every reason to believe, will be worthy of Pontycymmer, and will»appr<j*iahly strengthen the Labour talent on the Ogmore and Garw Council. This will do the Coun- cil no harm. At Maesteg, the surprise was the defeat of Mr. Miles Hardcastle, a Labour member of many years' standing, by Mr. Henry Morris Jones, at his first attempt. A change in the representation of the Nanty- ffyllon Ward may not do harm. It will awaken the Labour element to the need for live men of strong views, capable and intelli- gent, to champion their cause. Such men would do much to increase the vitality and influence of the Council, which has not a very high reputation as a business Council to- day. w Porthcawl provided an exciting elec- tion, and seldom has a contest aroused such intense interest amongst the ratepayers and those who are not. The cause of much of it was the entrance into the field of a clergy- man, in the person of the Rev. D. J. Arthur, the curate, who had a powerful Church ing. On the other hand, Mr. D. J. Rees had a strong and influential Nonconformist vote. These are the two new members. Mr. D. J. Rees headed the poll, with the Rev. D. J. Arthur a good second, and only eleven votes separated him and Mr. R. E. Jones. Mr. David Jones, who was defeated in the last Guardians election, lost his seat, being 21 votes under Mr. R. E. Jones. This election was strenuously fought on all sides. and quite a number of motor cars flitted about the streets carrying voters. At Bridgend Mr. H. Abbott only just managed to retain his seat, Mr. W. M. Powell run- ning him to eight votes. Considering that this was Mr. Powell's first attempt, that he was unknown to the majority of electors in the South Ward, and that unfortunate cir- cumstances—the death of his father, and his own illness—restrained* his activities, he put up a fine fight. We hope to see him in the field again when the next opportuinty offers. w < < How are the dependents of our soldiers faring? During the last few months not much has been heard about them, and they have had little thought from the public other than those engaged in patriotic relief work. Labour men have become quiet on the topic of separation allowances, and the general public, in watching the results of increased prices of food and coal on their own purses, have not given a thought to the soldier's wife left at home to bear her burden in silence with no means of appeal or of compelling Government attention to her increasing hard- ships. Local authorities are giving war bonuses to workers, wages in the workshops are being increased, unskilled labourers are demanding amd getting higher wages, the miners are asking for an increase, while the childless wife of a soldier has got to exist on 12s. 6d., come what may. Coal may go up to 3s. a cwt., bread may go up to Is. Will her separation allowance continue at 12s. 6d. ? Where is the justice in this mere pit- tance granted by a Government to the wives of the nation's brave sons? Where are those who in the early stages of the war cried out for generous treatment of the soldier and his dependent? Is 12s. 6d. a week generous, with prices at their present figure? Surely the country can afford to show a different kind of gratitude to this. There is again a talk of conscription in well informed political circles in London, but the Government would be acting unfairly to the country if it at- tempted to impose, such a measure when, by its own actions, it prevents the Response of thousands of men who would join if they were freed from the anxiety as to what would be- come of their dependents. A woman sum- moned at the Bridgend Police Court recently for alleged false pretences, said she could not keep her home going on 12s. 6d. a week. There are thousands in the country who can say the same. Debts are being piled up, to be paid off by the hero husband whose ser- vices rendered to the country may mean bankruptcy to himself and family on his re- turn. Seventy-five per cent. of the New Army, we are told, are married men, yet this is how the Government treats their depen- dents. Practically all our local authorities have now passed resolutions granting war bonuses to employees. The amounts range from 2s. 6d. to 3s. per week, and it was understood at Penybont Rural District Council and Bridg- end Council that the resolution would em- brace officials. Now there are arguments in favour and against the proposal. None will deny that the lower-paid workmen should be considered in these abnormal times when food and fuel post so much. In times of national prosperity their conditions are never very good, and now they undoubtedly feel the pinch. No one will complain of a war bonus to such as these, but when that war bonus is extended to officials whose wages are per week and over, and to single men, then we think it is time for the ratepayers to protest. This is a time when some sacrifices have got to be made by all classes, but if wages are increased to cover additional ex. penditure, then there is no sacrifice on the, part of Council officials at all. On the other hand, the general body of ratepayers have got to make their own personal sacrifices and also pay more to save the pockets of those whose weekly wage may exceed their own. We do not know whether local authorities have considered matters in this light. If they haven't, we suggest they should. The poor rate levied by the Bridgend and Cowbridge Board of Guardians for the ensu- ing half year is the highest on record, being an increase of 2d. on the corresponding period of last year, and a half-penny increase on the last half-year. During Tecent years the Guardians' calls have had a continued upward tendency, due, to a great extent no doubt, to the increased demand made by the payment of adequate relief to the deserv- ing poor. The new additions to the institu- tion, and extra burdens incurred as a result of the war have, this half-year, played an im- portant part in making the increase neces- sary. While the Guardians' call has in- creased, it is satisfactory to notice that the Penybont Council have reduced their rate by 2d. Unfortunately all districts which will have to pay the extra 2d. imposed by the Guardians will not be relieved by the rural authority's reduction in the district rate. They must rely upon their own Urban Coun- cils to lighten the burden. At Bridgend the committeeo responsible for the estimate had recommended a rate of 2s. 5d. in the j6, or an increase of Id. on the last half year's rate. A very unique motion was put before the Council on Tuesday, however, by the Chair- man of the Finance Committee, who moved that the recommendation be not adopted. This was agreed to, and he then explained that the call from the Isolation Hospital Committee had been ascertained since the first recommendation was arrived at, and it turned out to be half the amount anticipated. The result was that the Coun- cil, by exercising economy in other directions, was able to rely on its old rate of 2s. 4d. in the JE. • • Ogmore and Garw Council has taken up the question of the children and the cinema in earnest. At the last meeting, it will be re- membered, the Medical Officer stated it was his opinion that the taking of young child- ren to the cinemas had a very serious effect upon the infantile mortality rate. The Council now has under consideration the question whether it is advisable in the inter- ests of the children to impose conditions upon picture show proprietors in regard to the ad- mission of children. It is suggested that no child under the age of one year shall be al- lowed inside the building, and no child above one year and under fourteen shall be allowed to remain at a picture show after 9 o'clock. The Clerk to the Council, Mr. S. H. Stock- wood, is of opinion that the Council can in- sert in the licenses what conditions it likes, as the power of granting or withholding a license is entirely in the hands of the local authority. If that is the case, it is to be hoped that the Council will not be slow to act. The matter is of tremendous import- ance, not only to the Ogmore and Garw Council area, but to the whole nation. If only the lives of two young children can be saved in each urban district in the country, whatwan economy in human life would have been effected, and that at a time when the question of infant life has a special signifi- cance to the nation and to the future of the British Empire. At War with the Brake On." One of the most remarkable advertisements ever published in British newspapers, Conserva- tive, Liberal, and Labour, commenced with these words. It was the opening of a strong appeal in favour cf total prohibition of the drink traffic. The words of Lord Kitchener at the beginning of the war made it clear that he realised the dangers of this, evil. Mr. Lloyd George, in his memorable reply to the deputation from the members of the Ship Building Employers' Association, said: "The feeling is that if we are to settle German militarism, we must first of all settle with the drink. We are fighting Germany, Aus- tria, and Drink; and as far as I can see, the greatest of these three deadly foes is DRINK." The Ship Building Employers urged for legislation totally prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquor in public-houses and clubs in areas where munitions of war are being produced. The advisability of ex- tending the proposal to the whole country is now being eagerly and in some quarters anxiously discussed. Men interested in the Trade have given opinions in favour of in- creased restrictions, but not total prohibition; it has been suggested -that any legislation, should embrace all kinds of beverages, and should apply to the rich man's wine equally with the poor man's beer. Men of moderate views cast their vote on the side of prohibi- tion, and yet those from whom the greatest support would have been expected have shirked their duty and evaded the issue. Never was there a sorrier spectacle of im- potence of a Christian body than that ex- hibited by the South Wales English Congre- gational Union at Swansea on Tuesday, who declined to support a resolution That, in view of the extreme gravity of the crisis through which the Empire is passing (Mr. Lloyd George says it is very difficult for Cabi- net Ministers to say how serious it is), this conference' joins cordially in the appeal to the Government to suppress the sale and dis- tribution of alcoholic beverages during the period of the war." It was particularly dis- appointing to notice Principal Lewis at- tempting to shelter behind the Government. "He thought that they might very well leave this matter to the State, and deal as a Chris- tian Church with the spiritual function of the Christian Church in the land." What is the function of the Church in the land if it is not to crush the greatest evil that threat- ens it ? We thought the war had set. the Church a new standard and higher ideals, but it appears to be still pandering to Mammon and losing sight of its greatest work. Re- ? garding the proposal now before the country, nothing but root and branch methods will be of the slightest avail," said the Chancel- lor. He wants the opinion of the country, and the country must be quick to give it. The brake is on. Will the oountry com- mand the Government to take it off ? Here are some of the forceful appeals made to the Government:— Half-measures won't do. MWe restric- tion of the hours of opening public-houses is nothing short of folly. We do not want the public-houses closed; let them remain open for the sale of good food and refresh- ment, and they will serve a useful purpose. Let the breweries be used for accommodat- ing Gro-man prisoners, instead of housing them at enormous expense in country halls and confining them aboard-ship. Let all engaged in the liquor traffic be found use- ful employment—there is more than enough work for everybody to do. Never mind what it costs to compensate the brewers and publicans. It would cost a thousand times more to compensate Ger- many if we lost the war through drink. The working-men's leaders admit it. The patriotic working man admits it. Even many of those concerned in the liquor r traffic themselves admit it. The Govern- ment has the power to act at once. Then let there be no further delay.
WICK.
WICK. It is interesting to learn that Wick and its adjacent villages, Broughton and Monknash, have done their bit towards the war. The sum of .£10 lis. 6d. has been contributed by the ladies of the three villages, and with this money gifts of 107 scarves, 10 pairs of socks, and 3 hel- mets were made for the troops at the front and on home service. Great praise is due to the two ladies who took the work in hand, and to all who gave and helped to make it a success. The charitable spirit with which the contribu- tions were made-many being glad of an oppor- tunity to show their sympathy in a practical way—and the willingness of the young people to sacrifice their leisure time for the good of the cause, deserve unstinted praise.
