LLANDOVERY. I I here was a large attendance at the funeral of Mr. David Morgan, Queen Street, whose remains were interred at Llandingat Church on Saturday. The chief mourners were Mrs. Morgan (widow) and deceased's only son. The Rev. D. J. Howells (C.M.) officiated at the house, and the curate, the Rev. T. J. Rowlands, at the church and graveside. Mr. Morgan, who succumbed to a long illness, was a native of Pontypridd, whilst the widow is a daughter of the late MT. John and Mrs. Gwenny James, and a sister of Mr. Dan James, Cefnjefel. Harvest thanksgiving services attracted such large congregations to both morning and evening devotions at the Williams Pantycelyn Memorial Church on Sunday, that many were unable to find comfortable seating accommo- dation. Members and friends of the church had been generous in their offerings of fruit, vegetables, butter, bread, and other produce of the earth, and ladies connected with the cause had shewn a fine artistic taste in the decorating of the sacred edifice. Three of the offerings were particularly noticeable-a mammoth pumpkin, a number or giant potatoes, and a loaf made in the form of a wheatsheaf, with drooping ears, which occu- pied the centre place in the scheme of deco- rations. The latter, which drew much atten- tion, was the handiwork of Mr. Low, fore- man baker with Messrs. T. Roberts and Sons. The Children's Choir, which had been [carefully trained by Mrs. Edwards, Waterloo House, and Miss Thomas, Pelmoni, sang ) some appropriate hymns, and in the evening solos were rendered by Miss Thomas, Maesyrhaf, and Miss Irene Griffiths. The Rev. J. Davies, Presbyterian Church, Swan- sea Road, Pontardulais, preached two power- ful sermons. I

I Peace Celebrations Meeting.
I Peace Celebrations Meeting. A BREEZE. I At a meeting of the Peace Celebrations Committee held last night, Mr. Frank Dawson brought up the question of arranging a re- union dinner for the returned sailors and soldiers in the district. He added that it was the feeling of the locality that a reception be accorded to the returned heroes on an exten- sive scale, as a recognition of ti-mebr services during the war. Mr. John Davies suggested that the master be held in abeyance until the boys had all relumed. He was at the moment corres- ponding with many of them, who were ex- pecting to return any time. Mr. Fletcher said that they couid go on waking for ever. The majority had returned, and he had proof of the fact. If they post- poned 'he question, there was a likelihood of it being forgotten. Mr. Dawson said that he and Mr. Fred Thomas, the secretary of the Discharged Men's Federation, had influenced the men to be quiet until the Committee decided upon the question. The men were now getting im- patient, and he (Mr. Dawson) wanted to know if it was proposed to do anything in the matter, otherwise the discharged men would provide a dinner themselves. It was not for the vaiue of the dinner that he enforced the matter, but on the question of recognition. Mr. John Davies was understood to say that he was not opposed to the matter, and at all times he had done his utmost for the soldiers. Mr. Dawson: I doubt it. Mr. John Davies. You prove that. You can put two and two together, and t challenge the statement. A few breezy passages followed. Mr. J. H. Lawley said that it would not be fair to expect the discharged men to pre- pare a reception themselves. In fact, it would be an insult. I It was agreed that a further meeting of the Committee be held to discuss the arrange- ments for the holding of a dinner, and in the meantime the number of discharged men be ascertained by Messrs. F. Dawson and F. Thomas.

AMMANFORD.I
AMMANFORD. I Mr. Jack Rainford, Wind Street, sustained injuries to the wrist whilst following his em- ployment at the Bettwe Colliery. He 16 pro- gressing favourably. About 70 workmen were tendered notices at the Ammanford No. 2 Colliery on Mon- day. This course of action on the part of the Company; they say that at the present moment they cannot find work for all the men employed. At a meeting of the local Food Control Committee, held on Thursday evening last, it was unanimously decided to resign en bloc. The decision is the result of the present agfation created in respect to the recent prices for nilk fixed by the Committee and ignored by the Commissioner at Cardiff. The funeral took place on Tuesday of Mrs. Davies, formerly of Dovery House, Wind Street. The df eased, who was 64 years of age, had lived in tre locality for many years, and was a native of Cilycwm, neat Llan- dovery. The mortal remains were intefted at Bethany burial-ground, the Rev. W. Nantlajg William* oiffciating. We deeply regret to record the death of Mr. John Williams, Loughor House, Wind Street, aged 73 years. The deceased gentle- man was well known and highly respected. The funeral took place on Monday last, the place of burial being the Christian Temple burial-ground. There was a large and repre- sentative gathering. The Revs. D. Tegfan Davies, W. Nantlais Williams, and John Mana officiated. A full report appears in our Welsh columns. The funeral of -the late Idris Powell, of Bettws, took place on Wednesday, the place of interment being the Christian Temple burial-ground. The deceased was knocked down some time ago by a motor-lorry and taken to the Swansea Hospital, and from there to the Fever Hospital, where he died. At the inquest, on Tuesday, the jury re- turned a verdict that death was due primarily to scarlet fever, agravated by the accident. The body had been conveyed by train from Swansea, and the Rev. D. Tegfan Davies performed the last sad rites. Mrs. A. James, 81, College Street, has received, on the third anniversary of the death in action of her son, the late Capt. James W. James, Hampshire Regiment, a memorial scroll from the King. The wording of the scroll is as follows:—" He whom this scroll commemorates was numbered among those who at the call of his King and Country left all that was dear them, endured hardships, faced danger, and finally passed out of the sight of men by the path of duty and self- sacrifice, giving up their own lives that others might live in freedom. Let those who come after see to it that his name De not forgotten." An exciting incident happened in Margaret Street on Wednesday morn/ing, when a horse attached to a milk can owned by Gclly- gweirdy Farm bolted down the road and into Church Street, with the attendant—the daugh- ter of the occupier of the farm--chng-ing to the horse's head and shaft. She was carried for a considerable distance and lost her hold, with the result that s he fell, the wheel of the cart passing over her. There was also a i young girl in the cart, and fortunately the horse was brought to a standstill near All Saints Church. Medical attention had to be sought for the attendant, who was badly bruised An inquest was held at Ga/rnswllt on Frday last, touching the circumstances attend- ing the death of Beftie Phillips, the three- year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Willie Phillips, Cathan Terrace, Pantyffynnon, who met his death on Wednesday of last week under tragic circumstances. From the evidence given, it transpired that the iron gate which had fallen on the deceased was only 50 yards away from the house. There was no neglect whatsoever on the part of the parents. The deceased was accompanied by a little girl. A verdict of Accidental death was returned. The funeral took place on Saturday last, and was attended by men only. The place of interment was the Bettws Churchyard. Much sympathy is feLt with the sorrowing parents in their hour of tribulation.
BRYNAMMAN.I
BRYNAMMAN. I The pass over the Black Mountain is being re-metalled. No one will deny the fact that it required a new coating badly. Motorists descrioe Mountain Road as the Brynamman Switchback," while others have baptised it as the Motor swinging boats and "Bone- shaker. After anoiher few weeks' opera- tions, it will deserve a better nomyn, pro- bably. Mr. David Elias Evans, Park Street, is doing remarkably well of late in literary con- tests, recording splendid successes in very good company. At an eisteddfod held recently at Llandovery, he captured the prize for the best memorial treatise to the fallen heroes of that place. Mr. Evans has been a literary student since childhood almost, and his suc- cesses are the fruits of sheer perseverance and grit, utilising his leisure moments wholly to self-culture. Alfa," the powerful bard and preacher, has proved to the hilt that the power of the Awen is not confined to the literary world. A few appealing verses of his even moved the Pontardawe Council recently to make a practical investigation as to the need of a lamp by Hermon. We wonder whether those selected will be provided with a "lamp" to see how dark the spot is, should they make the tour after sunset. Mr. Richards was en- gaged to enlighten spiritually the people of Llangennech on Sunday and Monday last, at special preaching meetings. The local Football Team last Saturday played Caerbryn away, and won by 19 points to nl, thus retaining this season's record of being unbeaten. By the way, the persistent efforts of certain Valley teams m trying to allure Brynamman players to their ranks is really not sportsmanlike, and is much resented. Why not draw from your own resources and paddle your own canoe, instead of gnawing at the very vitals of a practically newly-combined young team, which has pre- sumably become a veritable red light to many an old and hoary squad? Hands off, please!

AMMANFORD FOOD CONTROL COMMITTEE…
AMMANFORD FOOD CONTROL COMMITTEE AND ITS RESIGNATION. Ammanford Urban Counoil met last night to receive the resingation of the local Food Control Committee. MT. Evan Lewis, J.P., presided. Mr. David Jones, at the out, asked whether it was not advisable that the mem- bers or the Committee retire to enable the Council to consider the matter. I Mr. W. L. Smith was of the opinion that the Committee should not be condemned before they heard the case. Mr. J. C. Shaw, Chairman of the Com- mittee, said that the time had come when they had to consider whether they were of any use. During the months gone by, the Controller had sent to ask them their opinion of a reasonable profit for the retailing of milk in the urban area. The price, however, fixed by the Committee had been considered too low. Since the Committee had met to con- sider their position and decided to resign, there were fresh developments. They had considered that if a milk vendor di-.posed of :30 gallons of milk a day at Ammanford, there wouid be a profit of £2 2s. 6d. The price suggested, they thought, was a basis for a reasonable profit. The Controller had gone a little beyond what they thought a reason- able price, and had given no regard to their recommendation. There was nothing else to do but to resign. Since that decision was come to they had met Mr. Williams, the District Commissioner at Cardiff, and he pointed out that certain figutes were fixed not by the Controller at Cardiff, but by the Authority in London. It was fixed thereat for all towns and districts, and what had been fixed could not have been altered at Cardiff, neither could there be any reduction made. He (Mr. Williams) had agreed that they at Ammanford should be fixed on the same basis as Carmarthen Rural, which was 9d. on delivery. The producers' price had been fixed, and they could not enter into that ques- tion, because the same price was applicable to all. Ammanford compared favourably with other places in that direction. The Commissioner was informed that all the supplies were got from within a mile radius, and th ;y were as low. rated, from the pro- ducing standpoint, as any place in the coun- try. The cost on delivery was, however, above that of other places, and in that direc- tion Ammanford stood practically alone. Althou;;h the producers' price could not be altered, the Commissioner had as good as promised that the prices for the future should coincide with those applicable to Carmarthen; but the position was that it would be im- possible to get any alteration for the present month. By the time the Government officials in London had dealt with the matter, the month would be practically out. It was then proposed that, instead of making any altera- tion for this month, the extra penny charged should be refunded to the Committee. Then te prices woald be in conformity. In face of the circumstances, the Committee thought 'it wouid be inadvisable to go any further into the matter. Now that the price was likely to be reduced, they were prepared to re-consider their resignation. It was the only way out of the difficulty until such time as the proposal was confirmed by the authorities in London. During the war, they had many times failed to agree with the conditions imposed, and at that time they had had to put up with it. They had to sink their many differences and rry to work harmoniously together. The times had now altered, and it was necessary that they should put their shoulders to the wheel. Many a proposal had been carried through which they did not like. They, how- ever, gave way until the war was over, when rectifications were promised. At the present time, matters had been placed rather forcibly to them, and there was no other alternative but to make the recommendation submitted. In addition, it was pointed out to them that the idea of the Government was to encourage production of milk, and to ensure :'0 the consumer the same supply during the winter and summer. Mr. D. Jones asked what would be the position of the Committee if no confirmation was received. Mr. W. Evans said that they had to con- sider the decision of the Committee, and to decide chat evening whether they accepted their resignation. Mr. John Harries said that he would like in a way to compliment the Committee on the action they had taken. They as miners in the past had been considered to be Bolshies, due to their efforts in enforcing their demands, and the members of the Com- mittee were coming to their line. He ex- pressed the hope that by the next ejection the Committee would support the Labour move- ment. They had adopted their method-a wise one. (Mr. Harries at this juncture confined his remarks politically). Mr. W. L. Smith said that they as a Council should compliment the Food Control Committee for the able manner in which they had dealt with the matter and put in their resignation. Although adopting direct action methods, it had not been a fierce direct action. (Laughter). What had been done, had been done in a milky way. (Re- newed laughter). Mr. J. H. Law ley said that during the war direct action" had been considered terrible," especially if the miners enforced matters. The result had been that the miner had been classed a terrible man. It had been down tools" for everything. He thodght that since the Food Committee had copied direct action," they (the miners) had once again got into decent company. Mr. B. R. Evans said that some of the members had not expressed themselves ex- pressively, and he did not know whether it was a clap on the back or a smack in the face for them as members of the Food Control Committee. He would have preferred them to be a little more concise. It was eventually decided that the resig- nation of the Committee be not accepted until confirmation had been received of the pro- mises made by the District Commissioner. On the proposition of Mr. John Harries, seconded by Mr. Evan Evans, it was decided to Jet copies of the Profiteering Act for the perusal of the members by the next meeting, and the question of the adoption of the Act be discussed.
THE PALACE, AMMANFORD.___I
THE PALACE, AMMANFORD. I Local sportsmen and hosts of others will eagerly avail themselves of the opportunity of seeing Relwyskow, the great Royal wrestler, who was presented with the world's cham- pionship prize by H.M. Queen Alexandra for winning the world's championship for Great Britain at the great Olympic games, at the Palace next week. He is a clean limbed man, and his fine physique is greatly admired, while his deportment leaves nothing to be desired when he concisely expounds his theories of wrestling, an d also when he pre- cedes his wrestling contest with a monologue. Wrestlers and boxers are not usually asso- ciated with the histrionic art, but apparently Relwyskow is an exception to the general rule, for his monologues arrest and rivet attenhor. Commencing his career as a wrestler ct the age of 16 at Hammersmith Wrestling Club, Relwyskow has since won fifty-one competitions, and as an amateur he won the championship of Great Britain four times-twice as a Iight-w)eight and twice as a middle-weight—giving away a stone and a half each time in the latter events. He was selected to represent Great Britain in the Olympic games in 1908, where, as stated above, he won the world's light-weight cham- pionship in the catch-as-catch-can style, being presented with a magniifcent belt by Queen Alexandra. Subsequently he became a pro- fessional, and met and defeated most of the famous wrestlers, including Peter Gotz, at Portefract. Since then Relwyskow has been undefeated. When the war broke out he was tourng in South America, but retumm to England at the first opportunity and enlisted. After being posted to the Army Gymnastic Staff, he was for a time attached to the Australian Infantry as an instructor in physical training and bayonet fighting, and then pro- ceeded to France, where he introduced a system of hand-to-hand fighting and wrestling for the use of patrols and waidevo-a system which he invented whibst a Co. -Sergt. -Major- Instructor, and which was adopted in the British Army. Relwyskow has written an iÏn- teresting book on The Art of Wrestling," a copy of which was accepted and acknow- ledged Ity H.M. the King. He offers &50 to anyone who defeats him in 15 initiates, or £ 5 if he fails to defeat a competitor m 15 minutes. If the successful competitor is an amateur, he has the option of accepting the money or value. In addition, there will appear the famous blind concertina player and pianist, Martin Henderson. His performance alone is wortlf while a visit. Matthews, the Welsh vocalist; Miss Clarice Sefton, comedienne and dancer, from Moss' Empires, Ltd.

I MILK PRICES AT AMMANFORD.
MILK PRICES AT AMMANFORD. To the Editor, Amman Valley Chroniclt. Sir,-Mr. Williams, the Assistant Milk CoAimissioner for the South Wales area, visited Ammanford on Tuesday last for the purpose of investigating the question of the milk prices fixed for the winter months by the local Food Committee and the price8 as charged by the local milk vendors. It was ascertained that the local Food Committee had no power to vary the prices that had already been agreed upon between the South Wales Dairymen's Association and the Ministry of Food; consequently there is little prospect of milk being retailed at the figures given by the Ammanford Food Committee. Representatives of the local Milk Vendors' Association (who are affiliated to the Sotrth Wales Federation of Dairymen' s Associa- tions) were called before the Commissioner, and invited to express their views at to the reason why milk had been so scarce in Ammanford during the past few winters. The Commissioner strongly emphasised the point that the supply of milk should, as far as poe. sible, be maintained to meet the needs of the neighbourhood. The position he took up was that, even at the prices now allowed, there would in all probability be a serious shortage before the end of the winter period, and that it would be useless to expect anything like an adequate supply of milk to be maintained if il was expected to be produced and sold at the prices fixed by the Ammanford Food Committee.— Yours, &c., MILK VENDOR.
