A SUGAR-CARD PROBLEM. To the Editor of the "Star." I Sir, The form of "Application for Sugar Registration Card" furnished by the Ministry of Food requires householders to state the "names of persons ordinarilv resident in the household in respect of whom a sugar card is applied for." A servant leaves me at the end of Septem- ber. I hope to replace her. hut she will have ceased to be "ordinarily resident, etc. before the cards are required, and it is impossible to state the name of her problematic and unascertained successor. The insurance companies insure so many ',domestic servants" and all "occasional servants" without names—the employees and not the individuals-hut presumably this system is unsuitable in the present case. What am I to do ? I am, etc., HOUSEHOLDER. I

Griffiths: Never mind the people at Pwll. Crampton: Ah, hut I have to live [amongst them (laughter). 1 Conn. M. R. Richards: Wouldn't you rke to drill on Sundays instead of gar- dening ? Crampton I drill enough in the works. The Tribunal directed Crampton to join Section R.

The Deputy Ma yor It would be a very serious thing if a serious fire broke out and this man happened to be on a route march. Lieut. Ingrams: Can you make him iUJ l Section D ? The Mayor: How is it th at yon are in charge of the machinery if you are a plumber t' V\ illiams I have been a member of the Fire Brigade for 15 years and I also have charge of the machinery at the Felinfocl Brewery. I can do almost anything from pitch and toss to manslaughter (laughter). 1 ho Mayor: I hope you will try man- slaughter other than on the Tribunal (re- newed laughter). Aid.

 I 'the Tnbuna! I TRANSFERS TO THE VOLUNTEER BATTALION. A meeting of the Borough Tribunal was held on Thursday when the Mayor (Aid. D. J ames Davies) presided, and there were present the Deputy Mayor (Coun. Dan Williams), Covin. D. R. Jones and Coun. M. R. Richards. "I n ac event of Invasion." Messrs. Nevifls Dock and Railway Co. appealed on behalf of a number of their employees. Mr. J. Walter Thomas who represented the Company, said the men were em- ployed as locomotive drivers, crane-men and dock transport and transport men. They were all members of the V.T.C. and could continue to be members of the V.T.C. The Mayor: No, they cannot, because it docs not exist. Mr. Walter Thomas: Well, I mean they can be transferred to the Volunteer Batt. and placed in Section R. The only thing: /we ask is that these men should not he compelled to attend a certain number of drills. Lieut. Ingrams said the men should he placed in Section B, and he' failed to see why they could not put in five drills each week end. The Deputy Clerk (Mr. D. <r. Phillips) The point that ought to govern in these cases is whether these men in the event of an invasion could be released from their occupations or whether even then they would be of more service to the country at their occupations. Lieut. Ingrams But these are cases I can review-at any time. Mr. Thomas Even in the event of an invasion of the North of England these men could not be taken away. Lieut. Ingrams: Yes they could, bc- cause they are not. protected more than bakers. It was decided that those in categories A, Bl, and CI should be placed in Sec- tion B, and that those in the lower categories should join Section R. Dcck Transport. I A stevedore named Wm. D. Griffiths was appealed for by 3Iessrs. Gilchrist and Co., who asked that the men should he placed in as low a section as possible because he attended to dock transport. They were anxious that the man should become an efficient Volunteer, but lie could not attend drills on specific nights. Lieut. Ingrams: He can attend the drills during the day or night, and pn in Its 11 drills a month when he pleases and oucc he is efficient he will only have to attend 10 drills a month. I The Mt>yor The question is not whether I he can put in 14 drills a month, but whether he could be spared in the event or the Volunteers being mobilized to deal with an invasion. I he Deputy Clerk: There's not bound to be an invasion as they might be mobilized to substitute men on the East Coast. The Mayor But statements have been made by responsible Ministers that men will not be called up unless there was an invasion. The Tribunal ordered Griffiths to ap- pear before the Medical Board, and in the event of his being classified A he was ordered to join Section B cf the Volun- teer Battalion. If placed in a lower category he was told to join Section R. "Feeding by Hand." "Do you feed them by hand jocular- ly asked Lieut. Digrams when D. J. Nurse said he ;,p?iit his Sundays in feed- ing horses. In the week nights he f-, ii is h e dliis work at 8 p.m. Lieut. Ingrams: That's all hour before closing time at any rate (laughter). Nurse said he was a married man, 33 years of age with six children. The Tribunal directed Nurse to join Section D. tl;:t One Man Business. ) An assistant draper named E. 1J. I Davies in the employ of Messrs. Owen Jones and Co., said he was classed B 1, and was a married man with one child. Lieut. Ingrams This is not a case of a one-man business. Davies But I am the only male assist- ant in the shop, and my employer is a wido,y.. The Ma yor: You will have to join Sec- tion B. Davies I can't do that as I suffer from bronchial trouble. Lieut. Ingrams: But you have been classified B 1. The Mayor (to Davies) If you are 1111- fit to join Section B you must produce a medical certificate. The Alternative. "I can't join the Volunteer Battalion," declared Dd. A. Williams, Bigyn Mews. The Ma yor But you must if we stipu- late it. Aid. Griffiths Unless he agrees I shall ask that he he sent to the Army. W illiams I am willing to do whatever I can. The Mayor But you must do whatever we toll you. If we tell you to join Sec- tion B, you must do so or the alternative will he that you will he sent to the Army. The Tribunal placed the man in Section B. !n Section ea I !n Section B. "I ask that this man be sent to the Army," said Ald. Nathan Griffiths when a travelling draper named Jeremiah t.Á J,6 '1 (.4.1 ,t.- .LI. U L,o.. ù. Thomas, of Station road, stepped into the box. Thomas stated that he was a married man and had been passed Class A. The Mayor (to Aid. Griffiths) You must have his case reviewed in the d. 1 1.. or d inary way as he was only given notice to attend to-day to see if he consented to being transferred to the Volunteer Battalion from the V.T.C. I The Tribunal placed Thomas in Sec- tion B. To be Reviewed. John Callaghan, a fishmonger, who had been passed Class A, and was a. married I m111 with no children was also placed in Section B, but Ald. Griffiths said he in- tended having his ease reviewed so as to get him into the Army. i A Feng day's work. Mr. E. Kammerer appeared for G. F. Austin, a wholesale master baker, who had been passed Class A. Replying to Aid. Griffiths, appellant said he had four men in his employ. The Mayor: Have you any objection to joining Section B. P i' Austin I don't see how I can as I am ') I, 1. u. L ..t v 1.. ") so short-handed. Replying to Mr. Kammerer. appellant said he started work at;) a.m. and did not finish until 8 or 9 p.m. The Tribunal ordered Austin to join Section B. A Sarl Case. I Mr. D. G. Rees represented a hutchcr named D. T. James, who said he was passed Class A. He had just buried his wife and child. Ald. Griffiths: It is a sad case, hut I think James could join Section B. Mr Rees said the man's business would not permit this. The man had no ore to assist him now. It was ascertained that James had been before the County Tribunal and in con- sequence no condition could he imposed. Net r.n unmixed blessing. I "Credit trade is not an unmixed bless- ing," observed Ald. Griffiths when J. A. Wells, Station road, said he had a lot of credit trade. W ells: There would be a good manv !:adly clothed if there was no credit trade The Mayor I am not attacking your trade, but can't .you join Section B ? Wells replied that his business would suffer if he did so. The Tribunal placed the man in Section D. Aid. Griffiths: I shall appeal against this man as he should be in the Armv.

I Eich Dyn." I To the Editor of the "Star." Sir, AU "Vejsh scholars will agree with Dr. Gwenogryn Evans' repudiation of the "riell ÐYll" myth. The suggestion that "Ich Dien" stood really for "Eich Dyn" was jocularly made for the first time hy be wis Morris (the great-grandfather of the pcet) in the middle of the eighteenth century, and was never meant to be taken seriously. The real point, however, is not whether "Eich Dyn" should be substi- tuted for "Idl Dien," but whether the heir to the proudest throne in the wcrld shouTd still us a German motto, or wln-ther it would not be more consonant with our national dignity to substitute one more racy of the soil. His Majesty, with a sure instinct, recently discarded -"5i0'>7r'lJ.I" -w. ->. his family name of Wettin, which has been rendered illustrious by a thousand years of fame and power, for the English cognomen of Windsor. Similarly, why should not the Prince of Wales adopt a motto takers from the language of his Principality ? After all, Welsh is a noble and ncient speech, which attained definite literary form and structure be-* fore almost any modern European lan- guage, and Wales is England' s oldest) partner.
