I BRIDGEND MILITARY TRIBUNAL. J CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS I FIGHT SHY OF THE II MIUTARY." Members of iiridgemj .uihui-y Tribunal met on Thursday night last v. iviv at the Public Lib- rary. There were present: Mr. Henry Abbott (chairman), Messrs. George Harris, J. G. Jen- kins, George Bevan, and Win. Jones, with Mr. J. M. Randall (Military representative), Mr. J. T. Howell (clerk), Mr. Ivor M. Howell (deputy clerk). The following cases were disposed of:- Bertie Loveluck (29), 44 Acland Road, assist- ant rate collector. This was an application for exemption by the clerk to the local rate collec- tor. The Military had not served notice of objection, and it was decided to grant exemp- tion. Mr. George Bevan: Are we favouring our- selves? To what class does he belong? The Chairman He is in a very low class, and would be of no use in fhe Army. Mr. J. G. Jenkins: He is absolutely essential for the collection of the rates. Conditionally exempted. Edward Joseph Martin (28), married, 40 Coity Road, traveller and haulier in the employ of Mr. Rhys Williams, wholesale and retail grocer, 37 Wyndham Street. After hearing Mr. Rhys Williams, who said Martin was his only man, the Tribunal ad- journed the case for 14 days for applicant to be Medically examined. Jenkin East (36), married, with four children, 21 Mackworth Street, haulier and warehouse- man, employed by Messrs. Evans, Anthony and Co., wholesale provision merchants, Wyndham Street. Mr. Anthony described East as invaluable, in charge of the stables, and four horses. Appli- cant had four brothers in the Army, one of whom had been killed and another wounded, and there was nobody to replace either one of the six men who had joined the Army. This was the only man who could carry a sack, and he had been 22 years in the firm's employ. The case was adjourned for applicant to pre- sent himself before the Medical Board. Frederick Richards (27), married, 24 West St., employed as a foreman by his father, Mr. John Richards, painter and decorator, Newcastle Hill. Applicant claimed exemption on financial grounds, and also as one in a certified occupa- tion. The father is unable to work. The son was given conditional exemption. Theodore Nicholls (29), married, baker and confectioner, 35 Wyndham Street, as one in a certified occupation, was conditionally exemp- ted. David Robert Phillips (28), single, general wheelwright, Dunraven Terrace, said he was mostly employed in the construction of agricul- tural implements, which was a certified occu- pation. Adjourned for 10 days for medical examina- tion. Wilfred Arthur Stokes (30), married, Quar- ella Road, in the employ of his father, Mr. H. J. Stokes, Cowbridge Road, Bridgend, and Mon- mouth House, Caroline Street. Mr. Stokes, senr., said he eould not get on without his son, who was now the only one to do two-thirds of the work. Conditional exemption was granted. George Herbert Burgess (30), married, 58 Sunnyside, electrical wire contractor. Exemp- tion to Dec. 31st. No further appeal. Ronald Howell Edwards (21), single, Sunny- side Road, clerk and cashier, employed by Messrs. Charles Jenkins & Son, timber and builders' merchants. In Class A, with 4 depen- dents, and two brothers in the Army. Condi- tional exemption. Arthur Reginald Mead (24), married, 159 Moy Road, Roath Park, Cardiff (late of Bridgend), and now described as a fruit and potato mer- chant's manager in the employ of Richard Eng- iand, Ltd., potato merchants, with a branch at Southampton, of which Mead, if exempted, has I' been appointed as manager. A letter to that effect was read from the firm, stating that at Southampton they were in a large way of business, as importers of potatoes, and held contracts for the Army and Navy. Applicant, as a Christadelphian, holds a con- scientious objection to any form of military service. He said he appealed primarily on Christian grounds—as a Christadelphian first, apd on business grounds afterwards. In reply to a questioft, applicant said he would not attach himself to the R.A.M.C., be- cause that was an organisation under Military control. I think you want to shirk it," said Mr. Geo. Bevan. Mr. W. Jones: Would you tackle a Britisher, and decline to tackle a German?—Applicant: That's not a fair question. Mr. Jones: You can do what you like with a man like this. (Laughter.) The Tribunal refused the application. John G. Hayball (29), married, 37 Cefn Glas Road, Bridgend. As the result of the Tri- bunal's decision, Hayball (also a Christadel- phian) is employed in wood-cutting for Mr. Dd. Williams (Ewenny Road), agent for North's Navigation Collieries—work of national import- ance, which he claimed entitles him to exemp- tion from all Military service. The Chairman asked applicant if cutting wood was not, under these circumstances one way of assisting the war? Hayball answered: It matters not what we do. If we eat bread we assist to prosecute the war! I object to bfh military and naval ser- vice. I have been cutting wood. I have not done anything else. Mr. George Bevan: Would you join the R.A.M.C. ?-—No; I object on conscientious grounds. Mr. Bevan: I think it is from want of con- scientious grounds.—Refused. Clifford George Clement (25), 8 Phyllis Avenue. This case was similar to the last, and Clement is similarly employed. He, too, said he wouldn't join the R.A.M.C. because it was under Military control. The application was refused.

I PENYBONT MILITARY TRi- BUNAL. J WAR AND AGRICULTURE. I INSECURITY AND SCARCITY OF LABOUR. I FARMERS' DIFFICULTIES. I MR. J. T. SALATHIEL'S PROTEST. The main questions seriously discussed on Tuesday night by members of Penybont Tri- bunal, who attended in unusually large num- bers, were the constantly changing duties which, in these critical times, become more complex and varied, and the responsibilities proportionately greater as the war continues upon its course. The meeting was held, as usual, at the Union Offices, Bridgend, and there were present: Mr. Thomas Butler (chairman), Rev. T. D. Bevan, Messrs. J. T. Salathiel, Edward Morgan, Thomas Davies, Thomas Prescott, H. Williams, Ree6 John, George Jeanes, William Evans, Thomas Wood, Thomas Morgan. J. Dunn, John Evans, D. H. P,Ince, and Jenkin Jones, with Mr. R. L. Knight (Military representative), and Messrs. J. G. LoTeluck and T. M. Bevan (agricul- tural representatives). The majority of the cases were those of vol- untarily attested men engaged in agricul- ture—cases of men under 30 years which the Tribunals have been called upon to review. The proceedings opened with the reading by Mr. R. Harmar Cox (clerk) of correspondence from the Government, dealing, amongst other matters, with the new regulation calling up (exc epton rare occasions) all fit young men, under 26, the equitable distribution of the man power of the country, the demand for skilled labour, the assistance of the exchanges in the matter of employment, the policy of su bstitutions, and the urgent calf upon the farmers to realise as much as possible consis- tent with the maintenance of the food supply. The result of the Tribunal's sitting under the new conditions was satisfactory, in the sense of -coirfirming exemptions already allowed, I and it was a matter for comment .that in not a few of the cases the farmers interviewed, in view of the increase in arable land which the Government declare to be necessary, inti- mated that they would be only too willing to put more land under plough, if only they could get men to put their hands to the plough. A considerable shortage was com- plained of, and in view of the consequential difficulties that now exist, conditional exemp- tion was allowed in practically every case. Mr. J. G. Loveluck (agricultural represen- tative) and Mr. J. T. Salathiel raised a pro- test against taking any more hands off the land Mr. Loveluck pointed out that as many farmers would not be able to plough the land, less production was to be feared. Labour was scarce at the very time when the land should, be ploughed for the spring sowing. The ordeT to exempt men to January 1st was for the purpose of facilitating the autumn sowing. The weather was, however, so un- propitious that autumn sowing was interfered with, and consequently that which the Gov- ernment- continually urged them to push forward as much as possible would have to be held over until the spring. To carry out the Government's wishes, it was absolutely necessary to retain certain skilled labour on the land. Mr. J. T. Salathiel said that 75 per cent. of the wheat was sown in the autumn, and only 25 per cent. in the spring. They had to develop the land, and bring it under cultivation. To do it they must have skilled labour, and he begged them, and the authorities, to be cautious before seeking to take more men off the land. The difficulty experienced in getting hands was a serious problem—more serious than many appeared j to imagine. I After these voices of protest and of warn- ing, the Tribunal, before proceeding to the business of the evening, discussed the point raised by one of the members whether it was advisable to consider the cases seriatim, or en bloc. Mr. Knight (Military representative) ex- plained that it was hns duty to object, form- ally to all The employers, he thought, should come there and say. individually, that these men were really indispensable on the farms. There might be—he did not say there were--cases here and there for enquiry, and if there was anything to find out, it was for them to find it. These objections," he added, "are formal objections, and I only press where there is need." [ DEFERRED CASES. Leonard Crocker, baker, Kingston House, said he was the only baker at Tondu, though there were several at A berkenfig.-Condi- tional exemption. E. Maddock, accountant, 4 High Street, Heolycyw. Applicant is responsible for the clerical work of the colliery at which he is employed, and it was claimed for him that no one is capable of taking his place.-Condi- tional exemption. I I VOLUNTARILY ATTESTED MEN. After considering the exceptional circum- stances in each case, conditional exemption was granted to Reginald William Hopkins, farmer and joint tenant, Tynyporth Farm, St. Brides Major; William Jenkins, horseman, Cwmcwc Farm, Pencoed; William Rees, shep- herd and cowman, and J. Thomas, horseman and ploughman, Brynllwrach Farm, Llangyn- wyd; R. W. Llewellyn, horseman and plough- man, Pennyrallt Farm, Bridgend; D. J.

I SMALL TALK. "As others see us," with a Tenoo "South Wales is the Klondyke in the United Kingdom," says "Truth." "The population :.is multiplied tenfold in twenty years, and i.ere are neither houses that can be made, iito decent homes nor chapels nor parsons; to the people in the right way. The narrow eys are overcrowded, and there is an as- u' iÙng scepticism as to the honesty of one's n< rhbour. A radical reform of social cc jitions is needed if a permanent cure is to be effected." The parcel of "comforts" that is being sent to the British prisoners of war in German as a result of the patriotic efforts of the girls of the Penybont School will no doubt be very welcome to the recipients. 1 The parcel that Mr. Christmas Evans (as Secretary of the Fund) is sending away con- sists of 14 pairs of socks, 4 helmets, 3 scarves, 3 body belts, I pair mittens, and I pair bed- room slippers. The gifts will, if possible, go to the five Bridgend men, known to be prisoners in Germany. til Bravo, girls of the Penybent! May YOUT knitting-needles never grow less. 1 1 We hear that the testimonial which is being got up for Rev. D. S. Jones, Christchurch, is to be presented to him next Friday at Christ- church. Ill A pleasing feature of the function is that thetestimonial will be of a genuinely "town" character, and will represent all denomina- tions, Anglican as well as Free Church which is as it should be. A man who has given sixteen of the best years of his life to the good of Bridgend generally has won his title to honour beyond the bound s of a sect. t 1 n In Bridgend Police Court on Saturday, proof was again afforded of the need, in the public interests, of another appointment, viz., that of "an aletaster," an ancient and hon- ourable calling, which, for some reason, long ago fell into desuetude. Ill In the case, which came from Maesteg, and J is reported in another column, the sergeant and consta ble concluded from smell and taste that the fluid was beer, or intoxicating liquor II of smore sort. Their testimony, however, was not considered to be conclusive, and recourse was had to a couple of doctors—one of whom rather demurred to assuming the role of ex- pert, as being somewhat outside the beaten track of his practice, and it will be conceded I that medical men as a rule are ooiicerned with ¡ the effects, upon the human system, of too I much drink, rather than with the constituent parts of the liquor, and the miscroscopic ex- amination of the same. N I 1 Why then, it is again asked, should there not be a skilled ale-taster, recognised and looked up to, as aim authority, whose decisi<Ths always shall be final and conclusive ? 111 The only valid objection that might be raised is that, judging by the trend of things, I the time is not far distant when there will be no beer to taste, and therefore no scope for a I' beer-taster. 1 1 > From time immemorial it has been the I habit of some cynics to cast ridicule upon the much maligned farmer, who is said to be never satisfied, not even when he seems to get the thing for which he clamours! Ill I The difficulties of the tiller of the soil in this critical period are very real indeed, and these are times not for unfeeling jest, but I for sympathy with the farmer, who is at his wits' end to supply men for the fighting line, and with the few hands he has left to cultivate the products that are the food of I' the people. l,ong Ix? f oi-e the Ill 1 3?ac k- to Long before the war the cry was "Back to the land. The cry now is, with still more insistence, to keep the few yet on the land, j and reinforce them with the skilled labour I which is necessary to develop the resources of the land. iii To point the protest which he raised at the j Penybont Tribunal, Mr. J. T. Salathiel in- staneed the case of a farmer who last year cut up 46 acres of extra land, which this year is all in stubble through want of labour. Ill Upon another farm (said Mr. Salathiel) a man, paid 6s. a day, threw up the job be- cause "working on roots" was "too hard," and beneath his dignity, as a lord of creation! 1 1 Now for the third illustration. A certain farmer gave a certain Hodge a splendid breakfast, and took him to a field to scatter manure. The farmer had occasion to leave for awhile, and on returning to see how the new, and apparently, promising employee was getting on, found that he had disappeared! Ill During a decidedly rough passage the Ilfra- combe boat was rolling badly, and Willie took advantage of his fond parents' mal-de-mer to be exceptionally naughty. His mother, no- ticing this, turned to Willie'& father. "John," she faltered, "speak to Willie." A sickly grin overspread father's face as he murmured, How do, Willie?" I

CONFECTIONERS' DESIGN ♦ I "LAID ON THE TABLE" AT BRIDGEND. Tke South Wales and Monmouthshire Federa- tion of Whslssale Confectioners (througk its general secretary, Mr. B. Hughes) wrote to the last meeting of Bridgend District Council stat- ing that it was understood from official circu- lars that the Home Secretary was prepared to make concessions in the matter of the Christ- mastide closing of sho, and that he was in consultation with various authorities with the object of ascertaining their views. The com- munication represented that within tne Federa- tion area-and especially in the congested in- dustrial centree-traders had already been severely hit by reason of the Closing Order com- pelling chops to close at 8 p.m. on the first five daye of the week, and at 9 p.m. on Saturdays, and they expressed the very strong desire that the operation of the new Order should be en- tirely suspended for the period between Dec. 11th and January 6th. In view of the Home Offiee enquiry, what view did the Bridgend Council take of the proposal ? Vr. George Harris: Have we any communi- cation from the Home Offiee? The Deputy Clerk (Mr. Ivor 11. Howe1.]!: -No, Sir. The Chairman (r; Henry^Abbett) We can't do anything in the matter. Mr. J. T. Hitt moved that the letter lie on the table, and the members, without exception, agreed.

CORRESPONDENCE. DO ALLOTMENTS PAY r To the Editor. Sir,—I am constrained to ask the above question because of the many conflicting opinions expressed on the subject. There are isome holders of allotments who write down every item of expenditure, and every visit to their 'allotment, as so much time or money lost. These are of those who expect their bread buttered on both sides, and count not the pleasure or the pofit and ex- perience derived from crop-raising, to say n thing of the continual round of fresh vege- tables they obtain, as against the battered and bruised specimens of cabbages and potatoes usually purchased. The division of from seven to ten perch lots, carried out by the Bridgend Urban Council, has, I maintain, not only greatly benefited the allotment holders, but has adted largely to the stock of provisions of this nature to the fortunate possessors of these allotments. No one, with experience, will deny that one shilling per perch is a high figure to pay. At the same time, the difficulty of obtaining land (practically at one's door, and that building land) at a less rate is virtually impossible, under present conditions and laws. A con- crete example, however, which can be multi- plied, is that of a local allotment holder, who voluntarily gave the writer his present year's experience, thus:- I rent from the Council a seven-perch allotment, for which I pay Ts. From this plot I have dug nine hundredweight of sound potatoes, and also drawn 73 lbs. of onions, to say nothing of an all-round crop of cabbages and such like." With onions at 2d. per lb., and potatoes re- tailed likewise, need one question whether al- lotments pay? To further their scheme, the Council arc negotiating for a two acre field on lease, and only await applicants to apply for lots, to complete the agreement with the landlord. In this case. I have every reason to hope that the price to be charged will not exceed tenpence per perch, and may possibly be down to ninepenoe.—Yours, etc.. HENRY ABBQTT.

SELBY-LOCKYER. There was solemnised at the English Con- gregational Church, Bridgend, on Wednesday —Rev. W. Evans, B.A.. officiating-the mar- riage of Lance-Corporal P. R. Selby, A.S.C., with Miss Patricia Lockyer, of Gwrndiffaith, near Pontypool. The bridegroom, who is home on leave from France, is well-known at Bridgend, where he was clerk at Hurst, Nel- son and Co.'s Waggon Works, and he was also for some years secretary of the Bridgend and District Association Football League. Mr. R. T. Selby (brother) acted as best man. and Mr. Dai Davies (Bridgend) gave away the bride. Lance-Corpl. Selby returns shortly to France. His home is at Tetbury J Gloucester- shire.

DA VI ES-EV ANS. The wedding took place at Penyfai Church on Tuesday of Sergt. W. J. Davies, Glamor- gan Yeomanry (stationed at Bridgend) and Mrs. Evans, Heathfield. Bridgend. Rev. D. Phillips, vicar of Newcastle, officiated, and the bridegroom was accompanied by Cpl. A. Phil- lips. The bride was given avay by Mr. E. E. Sly (County School). The happy couple left later for Cardiff en route for Bath, where the honeymoon is being spent. Sergt. Davies, who has been stationed at Bridgend about twelve months, is a son of the late Mr. Morgan Davies, at one time in the Post Office. Brdg- end.

PTE. J. B. KARLE, lj7th WELSH. We are pleased to see Pte. J. Berthold Karle, 1 7th Welsh, home on leave in Bridgend after 18 months' hard service abroad. Like so many thousands of our soldier lads in this war. Pte. Karle has crowded as much into those 18 months as would have served the ordinary man a He-time before the war. Joining the Territorials (Cyclistf) in 1009, the outbreak of the war found him with his bat- talion on the North-East Coast. Later, he was drafted to the Mediterranean and to Egypt. The battalion is now stationed at Cairo, whence Pte. Karle has been invalided home. He is well known in Bridgend, where prior to joining he had just completed his articles with Mr. G. F. Lambert, architect. Unusually clever with pen and pencil, he has brought back with him a priceless souvenir in the shape of a. portfolio of sketches, etc., of "types" he has come across in the cmmpe of his wanderings.
