I - Under the Lamp.
I Under the Lamp. [By "THE WATCHMAN."] A correspondent mournfully proclaims the unhappy lot of the old age pensioner in our issue of this week, and advocates for a change m the constitution of the present Act. I quite agree with his many contentions, and have often wondered how these poor people have existed—if I raay call it so-on the miserable pittance paid to them. Surely the aged and many infirm in our midst deserve of our first consideration ? The seven and six- penny pension allocated at the present time is beyond consternation. We bewail the recent exposure made, and now begin to real- ize the fight for existence, daily going on in our very midst. To believe that several of these poor mortals have died through star- vation impresses more upon our mind the need for a reason for our silence during the period when the cost of living went up by leaps and bounds. In the future, may we endeavour to fulfil our obligation to those who have suffered, and keep to assist the "deserving" in a reasonable and just manner. 1 he milk agitation has again been hushed, and the local food control committee has ventured to resume office. The sarcasm pre- valent at the last meeting of the Council illuminated the feeling of its members towards the profiteers, and justly so. The day is not far distant when this "demon" will be cast out of our midst, and when once again will! the people set their minds on contentment, then only will prosperity rule the day. At the same time, I would welcome a continued agitation on the part of the milk consumers. The shortage of butter is no doubt due to the excessive milk prices now in being. We will remember reading that at the time of the railway strike, many of our farmers were un- able to dispose of their milk due to lack of transport, ad the result was that gallons of this precious commodity was given to pigs. The farmer, it transpired in many instances, had eliminated the larder of the butter-making utensils. It cannot be denied that at the pre- sent time it pays the producer better to send away all his milk supplies to the larger centres than to make butter. So long as the present milk prices are maintained, nothing can be expected other than a general shortage of a commodity welcomed in every household. To compare the price of a gallon of milk with a so litary pound of butter sounds un- reasonable, and I would prefer my many readers to single out the differences in the prices now ruling. What will be the ultimate decision of the Rev. J. Griffiths, B.A., B.D., regarding the seat vacated on the County Council is hard as yet to surmise. From what I gather, Councillor Frank Dawson has intimated his intention not to stand in the interests of the disdharged men should Mr. Griffiths decide to carry on. There k no other altesmative should there be no election; but I would like to make an important fact known, and that is, if the discharged men would have approved of any particular nomination, then they with- drew from the contest. The return of MI. Griffiths to Ammanford is greatly appre- ciated, and it is hoped that he will resume his activities in public life. It was rather -an unfortunate incident that a breeze should have occurred at the last meeting of the Peace Celebrations Com- mittee. Personally, I do not believe there was any intention on the part of either of those involved to prejudice the good feeling that has ruled throughout, but simply a slip of the tongue." Again, I would loathe to hear that the Committee decided to postpone the reception question. The majority of our sailors and soldiers have ere now returned, and should it be found necessary to wait for the solitary few, one would be prompted to render that popular chorus, Homeland," from which I venture to particularise the fol- lowing:—" It may be for years, and it may be for ever." The rousing reception accorded to our Choir at Tumble on Saturday evening conveys to the people of Ammanford the true sense of the word Popularity." The Choir is once again becoming active, and devoting its whole energy in the uplifting of the Welsh musical talent, and the many engagements offered symbolises the opening of a new and majestic connection now held by the Choir. In the near future, full practices are to be en- couraged in preparation for the next National Eisteddfod, at which it is proposed, so I gather, to compete. The sincere wish of the whole community is that success will again attend their efforts.
The Great Coming Concert.
The Great Coming Concert. The high-class concert to be held at the Palace Theatre, Ammanford, on Wednesday evening next, October 29th, will be one of the finest and most select ever held in the district. The music-lovers In the Valley, it can be assured—and the fact is worth record- ing—will be afforded the opportunity of hear- ing two of the greatest prima donnas in the vocal world. Apart from the magnitude of the expense in procuring these superb artistes, the promoters have considered the taste and the interest manifested in high-class singing in the Valley. Miss Astra Desmond, the great Australian contralto, is to appear, as well as Miss Gwladys Partridge, a gifted and brilliant soprano. Mr. David Harry, R.A.M., is the tenor engaged for the occasion, and Mr. G. T Llewellyn the bass. The event can be classed as one of the greatest ever promoted in the district, and no doubt there will be a record attendance. We have been asked to state that seats can be booked on the night of the concert. It would be rather unfortunate to miss this rare and exceptional treat; there- fore, come along in crowds.
Cymanfa Ganu at Garnant
Cymanfa Ganu at Garnant Never was New Bethel, Garnant, more i crowded than it was on Sunday last on the occasion of a Gymanfa Ganu in the afternoon and evening. The spacious edifice was packed to its utmost capacity at both meetings, and scores failed to get admission. The Congregational singing at Bethel has unproved wonderfully in the last six months, and this is due to the skill and untiring efforts ot the brilliant organist and choirmaster, Dr. Aneurin Rees, F.R.C.O. The results were clearly shown on Sunday last, especially in the evening, when some magnificent congre- gational singing was heard, and it is generally admitted by the valleyites that the standard of singing at Bethel has never been up to what it now is. Dr. Aneurin Rees, F.R.C.O., conducted at both meetings with his usual skill, and succeeded in drawing forth the blest ifrom the sinigers. His assistant organist, Miss Lizzie James, A.T.S.C., must also be congratulated on the able manner in which she accompanied the singing on the organ. In the afternoon solos were given by Miss Jenny Evans and Mr. Jack Walters, and in the evening by Miss Maggie Blodwen Rees, Mr. Garfield Roberts and Master Dennis Rowlands, Gellynudd, Pontardawe. The solos were well rendered by each of the soloists and were appreciated very much by their hearers. Master Dennis Rowlands is the well known boy-soprano and a National wnner. This was his first appearance in the Amman Valley, and we feel sure that after his beautiful singing on Sunday la&t Cwm- ammanites will require his services in the future.
