CLYOACN -NOTES 1
CLYOACN NOTES 1 The annual meeting of the Clydach Auxiliary ef the British and Foreign ] Bible Society was held at the Public II liWI, on Thursday evening. Mr. Percy Player, J.P., presided, and the meet- j jug was addressed by the Rev. W. I- Ctwys Williams (South Wales secre- tary), and a native of Craigcefnparc. The half-yearly pleasure fair was held at Clvdaeh on Friday and Satur- day last: Apart from the usual round- abouts the event contained very few attractions, and the attendance was I very small. "Gwyl Dewi" was particularly cele- brated at the local Council Schools on Friday. At the Girls' School (Miss A. Thomas, headteachcr) the. following programme was provided Welsh f hymns, "0 fryniau Caersalem," and "0 na all w 11 tra fawn byw," sung by the scholars; recitation of Welsh psalm by a pupil; lecture on "Patriotism," hy a member of the school staff; stories of Welsh heroes related by the child- ren; violin solo by one of the Standard i VII. pupils; short account of Dewi Sant- Welsh folk songs, "Ar hyd y Koa/ "Clychau Aberdyn," etc., eung I by the 8ohoJars; drimatis.%ti-ozis "C?ig doc in Rome," "The presentation o? the first Prinoe of Wales," and "Plant y Pentrcf, by Standards VII. and VI. respectively; song, "Doli," by a pupil of Standard VII, dressed in Welsh oo&- tume, and "Hen WInd fy Nhadau." The national day was also celebrated in proper Welsh style at the Boys' School (Mr. D. James, head teacher). Although no set programme was adopt- ed here, the event was celebrated on thp line drafted in a circular received from the Glam. Education Committee some years ago. Although patriotically "Mmemorat(-d in past years, the tke national event was not celebrated tkjs year at the Clydach Infants' School (Miss E. Morgan, head teacher) the school having been closed owing to the prevalence of moasles amongst the children. Apart from the commemoration at tlf$local schools, theje was no public celebration of St. David at Clydach this year. | A sacred eonoort, which should prove j nil attraction, has been arranged to be held at Calfaria (B.) Chapel after service noxt Sunday evening. The pro- gram will be provided by a Capable Swansea concert party. Driver Larry Warner (Franoe) and Ptes. Henry t. Dukes (Mesopotamia) «nd Dan J. Da vies (Palestine) have written interesting letters which came to hand this week. All testify to being quite well in health. Driver Warner, who was manager of the local Globe Cinema prior to joining up, writes "If at i-my time you are arranging a concert for the wounded soldiers at the Quarr Hospital, don't forget that little Freddie (his son, who is a clever little dancer and oomedian) is at your J service. Remember me to all my friends, and toll them to 'Kœp Smil- ing' when they are in the queues, just like they used to do out side the 'Old Show.' In his letter (dated Dec. 21st) Pte. Dukes writes: "You will be surprised! to Jearn that I have met Ivor Rees (painter) out here. He looked in the 1 "pink." The weather out here is bit- terly oold, especially at night, but we have plenty of warm clothes and are quite comfortable. We are just now preparing for a, good Christmaal" "I shall not forget Christmas Day 1917, in a hurry," writes Pte. D, Yies. "We were in the line, and it rained iust the. same as it did on that Boxing Day when the South Africans played at Swansea, and it was oold too, I can tell you. We were up in the mountains with not a smoke to bless ourselves wi tj) At the Quarr Hospital on Tuesday evening last, another interesting bil- liard match waa played between repro- sentatives of the hospital and of the Clydach Institute. On this occasion the Institute seems to have launched a somewhat vigorous "offensive." They won by a. lead of 325 points in the ag- gregate scores. The individual' scores were:— Institute.

SEVEN SISTERS.
SEVEN SISTERS. The Children's Eisteddfod turned out a huge success on Saturday last. The committee of Mr. Dd. Lewis's competitive concert will issue a balance skeet. It is stated the benefit to the unfortunate man will realise £ 40. Deep regret and sympathy was felt on all sides when it became known that Mr. David W. Davies (Dulais) had been injured on Tuesday at the Seven Sis- ters Colliery, having fractured both legs, and it is greatly feared the pelvis has also been injured." It is sincerely hoped his condition is not as bad as is rumoured. A lively Trades and Labour Council meeting is expected at Seven Sisters on Thursday. We hear that challenges of debates have been thrown out. It is hoped the public will take advantage of these meetings. A lively general meeting was held at the reading-room on Friday evening. It is rumoured that some Federation officials arc resigning. A rehearsai was held at Soar Chapel on Sunday, but the singing was not so good as usual. One old wag said the "rations" had a lot to do with it. A meeting will be held at the Read- ing-room on Saturday next regarding the Soldiers and Sailors' Pensions Fund. The Patriotic Fund Committee in- tend holding a flower, fruit and vege- table show, combined with sports, etc., in August next, to be carried out on the same lines as last ilear. Pte. J. Powell, R.F.A., and Pte. C. Griffiths, after enjoying their short leave, have left for the front in Flan- ders. Mrs. A. Smith, Martyns-avenue, who underwent an operation at Swan- sea Hospital, is making satisfactory progress, and is now removed to the convalescent home for a short period. The younger generation of this locality are to be congratulated on their appearance in Welsh costume in thee streets and schools on Friday last (St. David's Day). It is necessary to remind the District j .Council again of the electric lighting: of the dangerous corners in the dis- trict. Another still more urgent matter is the establishment of a oommunal kitchen, at any rate, for the child- ren, many of whom are in daily need of a good square meal. The rates and taxes are collected regularly; surely something can be done to relieve the distress. l "Dai," yn enill rhan o'r wobr flaenaf ar y "Ddraig Goch" vn Soar, Mawrth 2. Enillodd Dai y Wobr.
