Ammanford DischarpdfMen. I At a meeting of the Ammanford Branch of the Discharged Sailors' and Soldiers' Federation, held at the Ivorites' Hall on Monday evening, Mr. W. H. Crowe, Lucania Build- ings, presiding, the Secretary reported upon the result of an interview he had with Mr. J. W. Bishop, the agent to the Dynevor Estate, on Monday after- noon. The Secretary assured the meet- ing that Lord Dynevor was entirely in sympathy with the discharged men, and would be prepared to grant the use of a piece of ground for the erection of a hut. The ground could be most cen- trally situate, and Mr. Bishop would meet a further deputation of the dis- charged men to select a site. Mr. F. Dawson said that it was up to the discharged men of Ammanford to co-operate in the project. If the several local influential gentlemen were approached on the matter, there would be little difficulty in acquiring a hut. Mr. Evan Lewis, Union Street, sug- gested that the Committee immediately proceed with the scheme. Several of the members concurred, and it was eventually agreed that the matter be proceeded with forthwith. RE-UNION DINNER, &c. The Secretary reported that nothing further had become of the proposed re- union of the local discharged men. He was now waiting for a move to be made by the local Peace Celebrations Com- mittee. Surely, they did not expect the discharged men to organise a function on their own. The Secretary further referred to the excellent reception accorded the Cwmamman men, in which the Council had co-operated. Mr. F. Dawson undertook to see the Chairman of the Council on the sub- ject. AN APPEAL. The Secretary was directed to issue an appeal to all discharged men, through the Press and by the circulation of a poster, announcing the intention of the Committee to deal only with the paid-up members of the Federation in cases where financial or other assist- ance is sought. During the past few months, the drain upon the funds has been immense, and it has been the practice for many to join the ranks on one particular evening, and then to place before the Committee their griev- ances on the next. This is considered unfair to those loyalists who recognise their obligations to the cause. Again, mention can be made of a few cases where a substantial sum has been allocated to. them to tide matters over. Even when these men regain their posi- tion, they forget the little yellow card, and by so doing forget the other discharged comrade who is down at heels. FORTHCOMING EVENTS. The Secretary announced that a dance would be held under the aus- pices of the Federation in about a month's time; also, a dramfai would be performed at the Palace Theatre, the proceeds of which would be devoted to the local Branch, on December 17th. It is also proposed to run a drawing" in support of the Soccer Club now being run under the auspices of the Branch.
