FLY TALK.. I Private Pennib. of Group 41. held forth at the breakfast-table the other morning on the trials which would come upon the household when he was called to the colours. The need for a moratorium in regard to rent was emphasised by the proverb: "Money has wings and house rents make it flv." "And I say. Dad," his young hopeful ohipp-ed in, "some houses have wings, for I've seen many a house fly." "My eon," rejoined the father, meeting this flank attack in a manner worthy of a field marshal, "I always thought no part of the house except t.b" chimney flue!" I
WISDOM WHILE YOU WAIT.
WISDOM WHILE YOU WAIT. People who always say what they think have few friends. It is easier to arbitrate after you have licked your opponent. The people who never make mistakes all reside in the cemetery. A woman does not realise her own strength until she realises her own weakness. However, a fool and his money is a combination that you do not meet every day. The average ma.n is willing to get his ha.nds on tainted money for the purpose of removing the taint. A frenzied financier is one who pro- vides for his family at the expense of those who are no? Do-rlisa-rit of his game. —"Vancouver Daily Province." am

Night in the Storm
Night in the Storm TERRIBLE ADVENTURE OF FOCHRIW PARTY. Victims Dug Out of Snow D Hts. Of <l1l the adventures in the blizzard none can compare with the expedition of a party of young people from Fochriw, who had walked over the mountain to Pontlottyn in the early afternoon of Mon- day, to attend a cinema performance. The storm had burst when the per formance closed, but, undeterred by wind and snow, some members of the party set out icrr home across Pontlottyn Mountain, about five miles, to Fochriw. It is true a few were momentarily timorous, so terrific was the blast, but there was courage in companionship, and the mountain walk was familiar to every- one. So out into the darkness set the youth- ful band. full of confidence and merri- ment, and ere long their- laughter echoed down the mountain side between the diapasons of the storm. BURIED IN THE SNOW. Of the number that set out from Pont- lottyn at nine o'clock on Monday night net one reafched Fochriw until half-past seven on Tuesday morning, and when discovered he was on hands and knoe^ struggling from the shelter of a disuced quarry. Most of the members of the party were dug out of the snow, and of these one succumbed. Parents and friends at Fochriw organ- ised rescue pait ies on Monday night, for thp telephone installation was a wreck, amd no communication could be estab- lished with Pontlottyn where, it was hoped, all were remaining for the night. Time and again were these parties beaten back by the blizzard. In these expeditions many mothers struggled to the mountain .foot only to be brought back in a helpless condition. Immediately day broke explorations were renewed by Policc-sergeant W illiams and party", and the mountain, it was thought, was well searched, but to no avail. At 7.30, as the searchers were return ing home, the figure of a lad was dis- cerned in the snow struggling on hands and knees from the friendly shelter of a disused quarry. He proved to be Stan- ¡ ley Williams, of 8 Plantation-terrace, Fochriw. On reaching home he collapsed, but was able to give information as to some members of the missing party. Again the rescuers set out, and soon found in a snow drift a girl of 16 years of a.ge- She was conveyed to the neare-st dwelling-house in an unconscious condi- tion, and all necessary steps were taken to restore her. Evetually she recovered, '? W here is my I and her first question was, "Where is my little brother?" SISTER AND BROTHER. I  ?- ?l Meanwhile two 01 tne searcners had discovered two other members of the cinema party—sister and brother of the girl first brought in. The snow was piled up in enormous heaps about the victims, and the rescue work was perilous. The girl, aged 20, was first uplifted and car- ried to the Rising Sun, Fochriw, where Nurse Mercer was soon in attendance, and the patient at last recovered. The boy, aged 13, waa broaght in later, but efforts to restore him proved of no avail. His sister had nursed him most of the night, until she herself lost consciousness. Her first thought on recovery was of her little brother. The father, Mr. Grummit, is in training at Rhyl. News had now come through by a messenger from Pontlottyn that some members of the cinema party had stayed there the night. Of the party a lad, Bob Carter, Pleasant View, was still unac- counted for. The search party again got to work, and armed with long poles they again climbed the mountain. For hours the search proved fruitless. Then some Pengam County School scholars saw a boot protruding from the snow. The worst was feared, but, strange to say, the lad was dug out alive, although un- conscious. He was carried home, and was soon 11 brought round." A Fochriw correspondent says a dead baby has been found, but the mother has not been discovered. The local coal pits are stopped, and telegraph and telephone communications has broken down. The snow in some places reaches a height of over 18 feet.

brothers HEROIC EF- FORTS. A THRILLING STORY AT MAESTEG. I A thrilling story of a Welsh miner's struggle to save the life of his brother during the blizzard on Monday night was during the b i told at the inquest held by Mr. Lewis M. Thonia-s coroner, at Maesteg, on the body of James John Davies, a colliery haulier. Emlyn Davies, brother of deceased, said that on Monday night about 10 o'clock he and his brother and some other colliery workers started to walk over the mountain at Caerau, to go to their work at the Duffryn Rhondda Colliery in the next valley. The storm was raging furious- ly, and the party struggled on with the greatest diffiuclty. James led the wav, and got on a considerable distance ahead. The storm was raging furiously, and the party turne dback for home, but wit- ness went on after his brother, whom he eventually overtook. In the blinding snowstorm they lost their way. For some time they sheltered by one of the walls of loose stones which mark off portions of th-3 mountain, and James, who was becoming exhausted, lay down and rested for awhile. "Witness roused him, and to- gather they grop d their way through the snowstorm, trying to find their bear- ings. James again lay down, an d this time he went to sleep, and slept fer about 20 minutes. He was again roused by Emlyn, who helped him to walk otn, but they found themselves getting deep into snow- drifts, and so they decided to lie down j together and wait for daylight. \?h?n day broke they made another ef- fort to proceed, but James now had severe cramp in the leg and could not walk. Emlyn dragged and carried him I for same distance, but then became too exhausted, and again they lay down in the snow, Emlyn taking off his own coat I and wrapping it around James to keep him warm. By this time they were with- in sight of the smoke stack of the Coeg- nant Colliery at Maesteg. James said to his brother, "I cannot walk. You go home, and tell father." Emlyn saw that he must go for help. j lie wrapped his coat more warmly around his brother, and then, exhausted as he was, staggered home and told his father what had happened and where Jam- was. The father and some friends immediately went to the rescue. Thev found James lying where Emlyn had left him, with the coat wrapped round him, but he was dead. Dr. Llewellyn stated that death was due to exposure. The Coroner and jury complunented Emlyn upon his heroic efforts to save his brother's life. A ver* dict was returned in accordance with the j medical evidence. — ————-
