BEDWELLTV COUNCIL ANO MEROESOFTHEWAR" I At the commencement of the businest of the Bedwe!lty Urban Council, at New Tredcgar, on Taes. day, the Chairman (Mr laaao Jones, J.P.), )ta.id that it was very appropriate at the commencement of the meeting, which took place tu the morrow of the signing of the Armistice, that they ehoold pass a resolution of cot<gratn- lation to the persons and powers on the achievement of bringing about the tong-Iooked-for peace. He was sure that whatever their opinion about the war, and the way in which it bad been conducted, they were at oae in the fact and were proad of it-that they had been able to secure the peace, and a peace that was satisfac- tory to this country. They had to express sorrow for those who had made the eapreme sacrISce, and that they ahould not forget that they had a daty still to those who were left behind and had suffered, in some re- spects, more than those who had given up their lives. Some of them were crippled for life, and although public authorities had been working hard to alleviate the suffering, the crippled and broken would atih re- main. It. would be a daty to one and "ll to do all they could to make the remainder of the lives of the gallant fellows who were now broken as happy as possible. They should re- member thtt theae men's suffericga were on behalf of the country at large, and it was for the country to grate. fu!!y acknowledge that sunenng by making some saorinoe themMivos. The qtiestion which confronted them was, was it possible that a country like ours could overlook the sacrifices that had been made P He hoped the country would never forget. That was the danger. The danger that the enthusiasm and patriotic spirit so manifest during the war might be If-,at after the war, and the gallant fellows which had fought, and b!ed, and suffered be forgotten and allowed to go on suffering. He hoped, how- eyor, that that would not be the o'M& in-reprd to this war, and that they would stand by the men who had stood ao well by them and the country. (Hear, hear). He proposed that the reMlntioB of congratulation be sent to the Prime Minister and all the leaders on the battle front. Mr Edgar Da vies, J.P., seconded the motion with very great pleasure. He was sure that nobody woo ld qoarre! with that resolution because they were all glad of peacet and the prospect of a satisfactory peace for the future. They had had fo*r long years of war, and they, as local authorities, had devoted a lot of t.me to the work which devolved on them, but the work was nothing compared with the immense and incomparable sacriSces that had been made. He hopfd they would never forget those I who had given their lives for the country's sake, and those who bad come back broken and maimed. The latter showld be given Srst place in Empire, and the memory of the fallen should always be kept green (cheers). Mr D. Jones, vice-chairman, ex- pressed his sincere thankfulness that the Armistice had been signed, and that they had attained a victorious end of the war, which was what they went out to win. He suggested that the resolutions proposed should I incorporate an expression of their gratitude to the soldiers and sailors, and that their deep sympathy with those who had loat their nearest and dearest. He emphasised they could never be too anxious in their efforts toward securing jast recompense for their soldiers who had come home broken and amioted. It had grieved him more than he could say to and it necessary often to supplement the the allowance to such warriors in order to enable them to get the neceaaitieB of life. They should never allow anyone who had fought for them in this great war to became a pauper (applause). The Govern. meat should look after them and N8 that they were adequately provided for. Mr W. Button, in supporting, suitt he WM at one with the sentiments expressed. If they looked back over the history of previous wars they would find that those who had fought for the country had been badly dealt with, and it was for the council now to see that such injustice did not repeat itself. The motion was there- upon adopted. Mr W. Jones, Pengam, asked the council to atand up in sympathy with thoae whose eyes, unfortunately, were died with tears, and whoee heMte wefw )HM witb .w. Md wiM, therefore, coatd not join ia the re- joicing. This Fiuggestion WM adopted.

r BARGOED PROSECUTIONS. The GetHigaer Food Control Corn. mittee prosecuted in two cases at the Bargoed Police Court on Friday last, for alleged offences under the Beer (Prices and Description) Order, 1918. Mr Washington Bowen, Merthyr, ap- peared for the committee, and Mr. C. S. Goodfellow defended. The nrst case was that against J. B. Green, licensee of the Bontnewydd Hotel, Trelewis. G. Fletchero Davies, executive oBicer, Mid that on the 14:th Septem- ber last he called at the defendant's premises, and asked whether he had the notices exhibited as to the sale of beers, as provided by the Order. He replied be had not. Witness then went into the public rooms and failed to see any notice.: Cross-examined, he waa sure that there was no notice such as that produced, hung up in either of the rooms. Pressed closely as to whether there was any notice at all, he admit- fed there may have been some notice hung up, but not the kind demanded. —Defendant, on oath, gave a com- plete denial of the Executive Omoer's statement. When he drew bis atten. tion to the notice produced, which specified that beers on sale will b. charged at the prices nxed by the Food Controller.—Mr Davies pointed out that the prices were not specined on the notice, and he could not under- stand why the Licensed Victuallers' Association should have sent out such a notice. Mr Goodfellow pointed out that the Order did not provide that the notice should state the price at which beers were to be told. He asked th< Bench to give the defendant the benefit of any doubt which there may be that the notice produced was hung up.—The case wa* dismissed, In a similar charge preferred against Phil Williams, the licensee of the FIalcaiach Inn, Tretawdt, the de. fendant pleaded guilty, and was fined t3.—An application for ooBta was refused.
