Under the Lamp. I [By "THE WATCHMAN."] The Urban Council decided at their meeting on Tuesday evening to uphold the decision of the local Food Control Committee on their resignation over the milk agitation. I have nothing to add to what has already been written on the subject, but desire to convey to them my whole-hearted sympathy in this their hour of condemnation. We the Men in the\ Street can only console ourselves with the words of Longfellow, who writes on Resig- nation in this strain:— We will be patient. and assuage the feeling We may not wholly stay; By silence sanctifying, not concealing The grief that must have way." The members of the local Committee must have endured patience unreservedly to attend there even once a week, and then to find their recommendations ignorecT. They undoubtedly have the sympathy of the poor consumer, who long ago has felt the need for direct action as instanced under present cir- cumstances. I know full well (and that is why I quote Longfellow) that the Committee regret the effective decision adopted, but there has been no other alternative. The Food Con- troller, no doubt, will judge for himself the seriousness of the climax, more so when taking into consideration the result of the discussion. « < < The initial step in Ammanford's claim for the 1922 National Eisteddfod has been taken up with great vigour, and what promises to be a sweeping response is foreshadowed. At the meeting held on Thursday evening last, there were representatives present from the whole of the Valley and Llandilo, and one and all expressed their genuine sympathy with the movement. The Committee has been rather fortunate in their selection of Secretary, and can be assured of grand results. t « The Drainage Question is now being seriously tackled by the Council, and we must be optimistic as to the ultimate results. However heavy our rates may be at the moment, it stands to reason that the health of the community must be safeguarded. Our burden in he future will be heavy, it will be admit- ted; but consideration has to be given to the coming generation. I believe it was the ex-Mayor of Llandovery who once said that we came into the world to do good, so that others may follow." listened to an address on Sunday morning last on Sectarianism," and was particularly struck with the broad- minded view of the speaker—the Vicar of Llandovery. He as well as, con- demned the present system now ruling in Wales, and undoubtedly there is a lot to be said in that direction. Canvass- ing for votes should be abolished, he further contended, and rightly so. Personalities in the past have played an all-important part in Municipal and Urban Council elections. The man of brain and intellect is wavered, and in the majority of cases cast aside. There has been little encouragement to this type of man, due to the activities of political intrigues or sectarian inclina- tions. M,ay the worthy Vicar's remarks prove to us a moral, and one that we all will endeavour to realise. I just managed to spare a few moments to view the ship scene which is being presented at the Palace this week, and was very much astonished at the reality of the effort. Again, the whole company appealed to me as one of first-rate standard. The play, Brewster's Millions," is for the first time being presented by this company at Ammanford, and from what I gathered is the company' s first visit to Wales. < < Whether the miners' modesty is being shocked is hard to surmise, but the recent utterance of the Carmarthen Head Constable is somewhat appalling. The sequel was a visit by some colliers to the November Fair at Carmarthen, and the Head Constable asked for such a penalty as would serve to put down this sort of hooliganism on the part of young fellows who came from colliery yillages. It seems one continuous slur upon the collier, and a familiar old adage sympathetically appeals to me. In this case the circumstances might have been such as to justify so strong a comment, but pl ease- ? A particular writer, tickled by that sense of humour which gradually over- comes a man's sentiment, reminds me of the vain attempt made, or rather a suggestion thrown out, that the Llan- dovery Workhouse be converted into suitable flats for the working classes. I may be wrong in suggesting' that the poor" scribe" was in need of accom- modation for himself, and naturally desired the protection, of the old walls, or preferred the worker to decide. ""■ A serious turn of events has trans- pired as the result of the recent agita- tion introduced regarding the resistance of the South Wales miners to pay income tax under S-250 per year. At the South Wales Miners' Conference, on Tuesday, it was reported that the Miners Federation Executive were unanimously of the opinion that it was not possible to resist the payment of income tax on miners' wages under £250. as reported, except by resorting to a general strike. This, the Council were of opinion, would prove disastrous, in view of the fact that the Miners' Federation of Great Britain at their Conference had decided that the pay- ment of the tax could not be resisted. It was decided that a ballot should be taken over the coalfield on the issue as to whether the men were prepared to adopt a strike policy on the matter. The ballot is to be taken within ten days, and a further ConfeTPncp will held on December 1st, ,&&& U" < 1 Those of us who were fortunate to return from the horrdrs of Gallipoli have eagerly scanned the report of the Commission and 'its criticism of the generals involved. There are as many as five different headings to the report, included in which we find Defective Staff Work ahd Lives instead of Shells. The late Lord Kitchener said in his reply that it was a young mans war, and if any general failed, he was not to hesitate to act promptly. General Sir an Hamilton on Monday evening said to a Press representative that he was not free to express any opinion respecting the Dardanelles report. He was still on the active list.
