CWMTWRCH-CWMLLYNFELL. I
CWMTWRCH-CWMLLYNFELL. HOLIDAY FOOTBALL On Christmas day a fine Soccer match was held on the Cwmtwrch Grounds, and which proved very attractive. The players were Cwmtwrch v. Midland Railwaymen. The game resulted in a draw. An entertainment was held at the Temperance Hall on Christmas even- ing, when a grand selection of pictures was shown on the screen, while Coun- cillor Lewis Thomas explained the different views to the audience. During the evening songs were given by Mr Lewis Kinsey, Mrs. Mary Williams. Selections on the concertina by Mr W. Thomas, and a song by Master Glyn Rowlands. Mr Tom W. Davies was the accompanist. The interment of Thos. Ieuan Row- lands, the infant child of Mr and Mrs. Griffith J. Rowlands, took place at Cwmllynfell burial ground on Tuesday afternoon. Rev. John Rees officiated. Councillor Lewis Thomas preached at Ebenezer Chapel on Christmas morn- ing to a very good gathering. Coun- cillor Thomas is very popular through- out the district, and his sermons are I always admired. Rev. Tom Davies, Horeb, Llandys- sul, occupied the pulpit at Ebenezer on Sunday last, and his sermons were 1 greatly enjoyed. Mr Davies is a native of Brynamman, and a cousin of the late Gwilym Wyn, Cwmllynfell. He is on the list of ministers for Ebenezer Chapel. Owmtwrch inhabitants were glad to welcome Pte. Morgan S. Hopkins, son of Mr and Mrs. Samuel Hopkin, Ynis- tredeg, on his visit home. Mr Hopkins was a student at Cardiff College, whence he joined the 7th Welsh Cycle ¡ Battalion. He has the best wishes of a host of friends. The children of the Cwmtwrch Mission Church gave two fine perform- ances on Thursday and Saturday last, of the cantata, "Now-ell," at the above church, which proved very attractive. I The conductor was Mr David Jones (Felinfach), who proved himself a good teacher. Enjoyable solos were given during the evenings by prominent local singers. A good sum was realised to- wards the new organ. i News has been received that the mother of Mrs. Williams, wife of Mr Wm. Williams (manager of Brynhen- llys Colliery), has. passed away after a long and painful illness at Hirwain. CYMDEITHAS GYMRAEG GWYS. I Cynaliwyd y gymdeithas uchod nos Iau diweddaf, pryd y darllenodd Mr. George Elsmore, Cwmllynfell, bapyr myfyrgar ar "Edrychwch, sefwch a chlustfeiniwch." Cafwyd noson ddydd- orol dros ben. Llywyddwyd gan Mr T R. Thomas, yr hwn sydd yn ffyddlon bob ameer gyda phethau Cymreig. Nos Wener nesaf disgwylir noson ddyddorol eto, pryd y byd dadl, "A yw rhyfel yn ocheladwy," rhwng y Cynhorydd Lewis Thomas a Mr W. D. Owen, Cwmtwrch lsaf. Disgwylir ein cyfaill Mr David P. Hopkins (oOgledd Cymru), i lanw pwl- pud Ebenezer y Sul nesaf. Mab Mr a Mrs. D. G. Hopkins (Dewi Glan Twrch) ydyw efe, ac mae iddo le cynes yn nghalon ei hen ardal. MISSION HALL. Cynelir rhes o gyfarfodydd efengylu yn y lie uchod yr wythnos hon. Agor- wyd y cyfarfodydd gan y foneddiges Mrs. Cresp, dydd Nadolig, a'r Parch. Wm. Lewis, Abertawe, dydd Llun. Yr oedd y neuadd yn orlawn ar hyd yr oedfaon. Dydd Sadwrn diweddaf claddwyd y brawd adnabyddus David Jones (Pen- how), yn mynwent y lie yn 48 mlwydd oed.

I Cafwyd perfformiad rhagorol o'r ddrama uchod yn y Neuadd Gyhoeddus nos Nadolig, pryd yr vmgasglodd torf fawr i fwynhau eu hunaiif. a thvstiol- aeth pawb oedd mai da oedd bod yo. Arweinydd y parti hwn ydyw Mr John Hughes (Llynfellydd), ac mae clod yn ddvledus iddo am ei ymdrechion diflino gyda'r ddrama hon. Yn ystod y per- fformsad canodd Mr Gomer Williams (Rhiwddu), rhos o benillion doniol, a chafwyd unawd gan MissJ enny Marks, ac unawd ar y crwth gan Mr WiUie Edwards, Brynamman, y rhai a rodd- odd foddhad dirfawr i'r llu oedd yn bresenol.

:GRYNAKT.I
GRYNAKT. I The eisteddfod on Christmas dax at Saron proved quit-e a success, from the I point of attendance as well as finance; j while the proceedings were thoroughly enjoyed by old and young. The chair was taken by the Rev. W Phillips. B.A., and the adjudicators were: Music. Mr David Owen; litera- ture. Creunantydd. The opening solo was very ably rendered by Miss Lizzie B. Evans, and the awards were as fol- lows:— Recitation for chldren under 10: K. Morgans; recitation under fifteen, di- vided between Herbert Morgan and T. Edwards; solo for children under 10: Roderick Evans solo for children under 15: Gwenny Davies; open solo for males, Mr Aneurin Dunavon, Aber- crave; open solo for females: Miss S. Blodwen Evans; open recitation: Mr R Evans; best essay on "Some necessary improvements in Crynant." 1st Mr D. Hopkin (Dewi. Glan Dulais): 2nd. Wm. Davies, Henllan farm; poem "Nadolig'' divided between Mr David Hopkin (Dewi Gla.n Dulais), and David N. Mor. gan translation for children under 15: divided between Herbert. Morgan and Tommy Edwards. The secretarial duties were carried out by Mr W. Davies: treasurer, Mr D. N. Morgan. The football tournament on Christ- mas Day and Prize Drawing in aid of soldiers, were ooth successful functions. realising somewhere near £ 30. The secretary was Mr David Llewelyn, and' the treasurer, Mr Meredith Davies. Pte. Rees Davies, Maesybryn. R.W.F.. stationed at LIandudno. and Pte. Johnny Garbett. Pantycelyn, of the Bankers Battalion, R. W. F., stationed in Essex were home on leave over the Yulet.ide. and both looked re- markably well. A wedding was salomnized at Neatli Registry Office on Boxing dav, the con- I tracting parties being Mr Joseph Jarret and Miss Bessie Petherick. The bride was neatly attired in grey cos- tume and hat to match. The duties of best man were performed by Mr Amos Dudson. Upon the return of the wedding patty from Neath, a breakfast was partaken of at the bride's home, Neath road, Crynant. We regret to record the trying pro- longed illness of Mrs. M. C. Morgan, Star Hotel. The pulpit at Salem M.C.. Chapel was occupied on Sunday by Mr Lewis John Davies, a promising young local student at Aberystwyth College. At Saron (C), Rev. D. Thomas, Onllwyn Bethania (B) Rev. John Morgan pastor; Godre'rhos (C) Rev. U. Phillips, B.A., pastor. On Christmas day ,ALTly morning services were held at Salem and Saron Chapels, both places of worship being well attended. During the past week Pte. E W. Davies, the son of Mr Davies, station- master. was home on leave from the front, and looked the picture of health. Pte Davies has been at the front for nearly six months, and is in charge of transport service. By the way, what section of ,he pub- lic at Crynant is to blame for the uiv- concerned way in which our brave boys from the front are allowed to come home and return to the front? There is no public recognition of their ser- vices shown in any way. We learn that an invitation is going to be sent to the local place of wor- ship on Sunday next, to form some kind of working committee to procure funds, so that the boys when they come home, may be recognised, and given some little token of respect. We hope that the movement will produce good results. On Tuesday last the burial of Mr John J. Lewis, solicitor, of Swansea, took place at Crynant, Churchyard. As in other places, the storm of Mon- day last did considerable damage to property, amongst which was the elec- tric plant at Uwynon Colliery, with the result that there was no work on Tuesday. The trading for the last quarter of the Seven Sisters Co-operative Society was a record one. The turnover was £ 11,500, an increase of E15 per week over the corresponding period last year. We learn that the committee, upon the recommendation of their energetic manager, contemplate opening drapery, butchering and boot repairing depart- ments.

CORRESPONDENCE.
CORRESPONDENCE. COMFORTS FOR OUR SOLDIERS ¡To the Editor. Sir.—I have read in your columns during the p.st- few weeks, accounts of sewing and knitting classes which are being held at the various chapels, as well as at private gatherings, for the purpose of providing comforts for our boys on active service. Last year large parcels of shirts, stockings, Prd other things were made and sent out in the Bame way. and I should like to ask if it, is a fact that the boys had to pay for these things on their arrival at the same rate or even higher than we buy them at home. If this is so, it would be infinitely better that every mother or friend should send II the articles to the soldier for whom they are intended. It is not right that the men should be expected to pay for what their friends have sent as gifts. Yours, etc., A CONTRIBUTOR. (We have heard rumours of this kind on previous occasions, and if those in authority can throw any light on the matter, we shall be pleased to publish any statement they may make.—Ed.) YSTRADGYNLAIS COUNCIL AUDIT I To the Editor. "The Labour Voice." Sir.-Tht letter of Mr W. Morgan in vour iseue of the 18th contains same amazing disclosures, so much so that one fully expected some refutation in your last issue. Same mot forthcoming, Mr Morgan's statements must now go by default against the parties implica- ted. What are our Councillors doing. What is their value to the public ? That the members present at the Pont- ardawe meeting could come to the de- cision they did without making any en- quiriee. shakes one's confidence in pub. lie bodies. They stand convicted of great ignorance or great neglect. True, they were faced with the oratory of their Clerk but that ought not to excuse them for not putting on their own thinking cups. The Clerk, I daresay, had learned from experience 'under this Council that the more he spoke, the more his cleverness. The members on the other hand. the less they spoke thø- I more their cleverness. Again. I daresay he easily won the appointment of a part-time accountant. It really seems that our public bodies. are decadent, or the members are not supposed to bring to their public life that business capability and common, sense which they show in their in- dividual capacity. About 30 years &go- our public bodies had a few active? intelligent members, who had and kept- firm grip on Council affairs. In. those days economy was studied, and taxation was looked upon as an evil- a necessary evil if you like but now every member seems the same, and be- longs to the common rut, and the practice of economy is tabooed. In- deed, high taxation has become the panacea, for all evils. Think of that £ 12 16s. Sd. for preparing Mr Mor- gan's contract, and paid to the Clerk readily. In this connection it must ber remembered that all the details of the, work and facts would come to the- Clerk, as Clerk; then as a solicitor he- would begin with drawing the contract. We know prett-v what. was to fol- low, and there is a bill for E12 16s. 8d. for it-net Cil lis. Sd. Now. would any member, having any business ex- perience at all, willingly pay half that amount if it came from his own pocket? Abo, would he. without making some enquiries, agree to pay J320 for assistance at the books? I am certain he would not. But these sum? are public money, and "hael yw Howell ar bwrs v wlad." Lastly, there is the absence of com- pleted accounts at the audit-and the. absence of the Clerk! And no one seems to know, or care. But an ordinary ratepayer has brought it to light. My congratulations to him. Are there any of his s-tamp on the Council ? Independent and outspoken ? The present accusations will soon show. INTERESTED. [We have received a. large number of letters on this apparently burning question, but space will not permit olf our publishing them all; moreover, the majority came to hand too late tor insertion in this week's issue—Ed.]
