II GELUGAER SCHOOL I GOVERNORS. Mr J. D. Thomas, J. P., presided at the meeting of the GeHigaer Governors at Heugoed, on Tuesday, when be re- ferred t.o the death of Mrs Jones at the Hengoed H ^stel, with whose sad demise the mem bers were no t!ou bt fuily aware. Mrs Jones had b; en a most capable teacher at the Hengoed Schools for about 10 years, and was about to reaign now to join her has. bandin South Africa. Unfortunately, she has been called to a higher sphere. -Alderman John Edwards, J.P., in supporting the motion, said it was a really sad case. It had been his good fortune to have met Mrs Jones on a few occasions, ard be greatly admirld her.- Miss Jam^a, the headmistress, explained that Mrs Jones was taken ill during the school hoars and con- veyed to the hostel, and medical assistance called for immediately, bat the hemorrhage did not cease and death took place that night.—The vote was earned in silence. The question of the exchange of pupils from one school to another was a^ain referred to. The Maesteg Governors wrote that they had for some time endeavoured to get the principle of exchange made throughout the county, and they asked the Gelli- gaer Governors to take up the matter. —Id reference to the taking over of a pupil from Breconahire, whose parents had come to reside in the Gelligaer area, it was reported that this matter would now adjust itself, a¡:¡ the parents of a pupil, now residing at Deri, were about to remove to Talybont, and asked for the transfer of the pupil to the Breoon County School.-The Chairman said that by this transfer the matter would adjust itself.—In reference to the Glamorgan county exchanges, the Chairman said that a scheme on the lines suggested by Maasteg was now under consideration Alderman W. Williams said that "tome vowy- uzoomplimentery-remaiks were made at the county meeting to the effect that itbare were more delays to gain admission to the Hengoed school than any other in the county. -Miss James: That is because we are so full. She explained that admissions were made in strict order of application. It was reported that the next term would commence 14th January. ————

GRATITUDE WEEK. I THE CLAIMS OF OUR I SOLDIERS. At a meeting of the Rhymney District Council on Wednesday even- ing, the Chairman (Mr H. M. Thomas, J. P.,) referred to the proposed Gratitude Week" to be held from January 12th to 19th, 1919, in which a national effort was being made to raise a fund of £ 3,000,000 to supple. ment the present grants to our gall-tut soldiers and sailors, discharged and disabled, to enable them to start in business. Thefand .was, he said, a most noble one, and they had already received assistance from it in Rhym- ney. It was a Victory Cause," and would, he felt, commend itself to their warmest support. Mr W. Griffiths, whilst recognising the worthy object, submitted that all these funds should be financed by the Government, who should see that the great services rendered by these men should not be left to charity for recognition.—The Chairman said it was intended that this fund should be utilised to supplement the grants now being made to these men. One feature was that it gave more elasticity to those who administered it, and would be in the hands of the local committees. It would, he feared, be a very long time before they would get anything more out of the Govern- ment, and then it would be a flat rate. As he had stated, they had already benefited at Rhymney through that fund, and up-to-date about 4,000 oases had been relieved in various parts of the country.—Mr John Evans agreed that if they waited for the Govern- ment, they woula have to wait a long time:—The matter waa referred to the local committee dealing with these appeals.

I WONDERS OF WASTE. iA. VISIT TO THE SALVAGE 1XHTUITION. London has seen many novel exhibitions of late years, but surely none has conveyed a more striking lesson than the Salvage Exhibi* tioti which formed part of this year's Savoy I Fair. The war had taught us a great lesson when we first began to realise that. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS RUBBISH. [t is from this maxim that the Salvage idea j may be said to spiing. What we are accus- tomed to call rubbish is nothing hut material in the wrong place. Salvage, then, may be described as the science of finding the right place for "rubbish." There was nothing but salvage in this exhi- bition. The very tables on which the exhibits are shown had been built up of old box-es which had "done their bit in carrying food and munitions to our Armies. The decora- tions and camouflage were made of scraps which might, in less careful days, have been thrown away. Most of the labels were prinied on the bucks of old cards, and many exhibits were tied up with oid bootlaces or salved string. Thus the staging of the exhibition was itself an example of salvage. THE GOLDEN DUSTBIN. Since salvage begins at home, the visitor was first invited to inspect the contents of the dustbin. Here were sat out in nine cases specimens of household ref-uee actually c-ol- lected in London. Perhaps the mest striking point, in these days of coal shortage, is the arnrtunt of good fuel that is 1 brown away. These wasted cinders have a heating value of 70 r;-r cer.t. that of good steam coal, are worth at J":lt W'5, a ton. amIno fewer than 3,300,000 j teHJ", are actually wasted in domestic refuse throughout the country. The redemption of the dustbin is a romance in itself. A. tour of the other sections of the exhibition served to show in detail the usei to which it-s treasures mav be I) tit. 1 RAGS AND BONES. Space permits onlly a brief glance at these fascinating benches. The story of bones and their potentialities would fill a volume. In the first place, they provide glycerine, which, as all the world knows, is essential te the making of munitions. The extraction of glycerine leaves the fatty acids, which are Ilsed in making soap. Bones and grease saved from the Army kitchens have provided soap for the whole of the Aiaay, Navy, and Govern- ment Departments, with a considerable sur. plus for domestic use. Bone meal a.nd bone flour are an invaluable constituent of poultry food. Froni bows, too, come thesè trans- lucent plates of glue, among them a glue which pSays an important part in the build- ing of" aeroplanes, while the small articles of utility and ornament which can be made from bones are numberless. At first sight the textile stalls suggest a jmnb e sale, maA; up of more than usually disreputable remnants. Here is a khaki great- cdat. which, if it cowld. speak, would be able to tell a tale .f hard work and exposure. Here, too, is & tunic which has received hoe- our?bie scars in the service of its wearer, to- get her with blankets, socks, shirts, and car- digans which have seen their best days and have come at leagth to the salvage Once gathered in the depot, in vast num- bers, these rags and tatters take on a new iIB. portance. They are now raw materials for tlM manufacture of new cloth. In their final form the despised rags and remnants have under- gone a complete transformation. There is PC hint of their origin in these soft, firm cloths: the Admiralty blue, the khaki of the Arm3 Set. o greatcoat and tunic cloth, the aerial blue of the R.A.F., and the black serge wore by prisoners of war. From new white cotton cuttings comes the photographic paper on which the Eyes of the Army," the R.A.F., have brought back unerring records from behind the enemy's lines. From war we come to the sinews of war. Clipping* of flannelette and white duck, with a mixture of tentage, go fce make ¡ the familiar Bradburys," as well as postage I stamps and inland revenue papers. | NOTHING LIKE LEATHER. f Boots which have passed beyond the reach of medical aid are saved and undergo another treatment. This old boot. which reminds one of the definition of the Irishman's clothes u holes tied together with string," can ptM be reduced to give valuable elements. Many wewe the other wonders of tlw Salvage Exhibition—the story of the waste paper basket, the redemption of oid tins, tin multifarious uses of scrap rubber and of 014 bottles; but they cannot be told here. For, as the exhibition showed, the story o salvage never comes to an end.

w- "WORKWOMEN'S TRAtN." I lanes in praise of the officials of the Bargoed House Coal Pit, for their generosity in providing a Journey of Trams or "Workingmen's Train under- ground, to convey the workmen to and from their employment. Give honour and praiseB where due, Be the person a foe or friend; Then man to himself will be true, And hatred and malice will end, In that line I'll venture to sing, The praise due again and again To the P.D.'s for such a thing, As the Tip Top workingmen's train. Time was when the masters alone Reaped the blessings ef tools and machine And that constituted a bone Of contention, hatred, and spleen; But there's some 'mongsf bosses galore, Who possess a heart and the brain, To share the advantage they bore In the shape of workingmen's train. The energy frittered away ii, walking two miles underground, Is wisely diverted to pay The masters and workers all round The workers accomplish more work, The masters will surely gain; And banish the feeling to shirk, By having the workingmen's train. No more after coming from'bed, Tou will push your hand throughyour hair Be vie wing the walk with a dread, Alt werryiag yourself in despair < A In your doubles trudging along, Your sides and back in great pain Instead L« -e a smoke or a song, In th' glorified workingmen's train. When corn) s it the end of the shift," Fatigued arter toiling your best, How welcome and sweet is the fllift" That bears you to home and to rest; And after a bath and some food, Not feeling effects of the strain Of walking, but in a nice mood, By th* aid of the workingmen's train. The workers ef Bargoed House Coal Should bless this conseerion with pride, And thank the officials, the sole Promoters of this glorious ride; May th' helpfulness spirit prevail And never experience a strain, To all the officials all bail, And hurkah to th' workingmen's train.
