LOCAL D.C.M. I PRESENTATION OF WRISTLET WATCH TO I PTE. G. H. FiSHER. On Friday evening, a smoking concert WLS tMd at the Black Lion Hot. with the object ot making a presentation of a wristlet watch to 1" ( H '-isher, D C M.. 01 Whitecastle. The watch was the gift of Fte. Fisher's former em- piover, Mr. A. P. Rogers, of Red Bam, who wished bv this m?ans to show in a tangible way  -d?ti?guished ser-iccs his appteciado? o? the -distinguished service* r?dered bv Pre Fisher Mr. J. J??hau presided, and the presentation was made by the Mayor (Alderman 7 Wh&atley, J. P- LC. fisher's father was also present. The Chairman said that at the call of du.y men had left all sorts of jobs to join the Armj. 1-e pis her was a representative of the land. He proved himself a good workman on the land, but he had proved iutnseli a tip-top man in .France. Those little gatherings expressed the spirit of Abergavenny towards the boys who haci been out tliere. They wisiied to give them, 1:1 taeir little interlude at home, some little tükea ot the spirit of tonvards them, to suable them to go back with a better heart krowing that the town really recognised what tiiey had done for England. They deserved the b-st that Abergavenny could give them. (Ap- t: ..nlse L Four Gaiiant Sons. The Mayor, 1;1 mn.-ang the presentation, t-anted Mr. Rogers for kindly inviting them to assemble together that night to do honour to one to whom honour was due. He took the oppor- tunity of offering hearty congratulations to Pte. r- her's father on his birthday, and he wished him manv happy returns of the day. (Applause), lie hoped that he would remember that birthday f, r manv years to come, because his son was honoured by the residents of Abergavenny. He congratulated those present on the manner in which they had conducted themselves that night. 1: was pleasing to him, as chief magistrate, to find them enjoying themselves in such a pleasant manner. (Hear, hear). He hoped that it would be the forerunner of many other gatherings that would take place in that room. (Applause). On the occasion of the presentation of the D.C.M. t, Pte. Fisher at the Town Hall, the previous Tuesday evening, they had one of the largest gatherings of the kind they had yet had. It went to show that where honour was due the town of Abergavenny was ready and willing to resoond and'show that they did appreciate and r-cognise those who had laboured for them and who'had spent and were willing to spend them- selves in the services of King and country. (Applause). The Mayor related the episode in which Pte. Fisher distinguished himself and for which he gained the award of the D.C.M. Had he been captured while carrying his important message it would have been valuable information to the Germans as to where the Royal Welsh Fusiliers lay, but he did his task with all the daring and skill he could put forth, and the result was that a great victory was obtained. He wanted Pte. Fisher to remember that when he laboured his labours had not been in vain, and if they all did their best, whatever position they occupied, their services would not have been spent in vain. Little did Pte. Fisher think in doing his duty that his services would be so highly appreciated, little did he think that the time would come when he would be publicly presented by his employer with some recognition of the services he had rendered. Let it be an inspiration to them all that whatever they put their hands to they would do with all their might. There were many families that had not sent one son, and therefore they congratulated Mr. Fisher, senr., on the gallant response made by his four sons. (Applause). He hoped that watch would convey more than money could buy, and that was sincerity, friendship, and the appreciation of his former employer. He hoped it would be an inspiration to him to continue the good work he was doing, and as he returned to somewhere in France to do his duty, perhaps it would inspire tiim. to greater deeds. Nothing would give them greater pleasure than to see him further recog- nised. They would like to see some boy from Abergavenny, or that part of the kingdom, bring the Y.C. to the town. The S.W.B., the old 24th, had more Y.C's to their credit than any other regiment, and he trusted that they would add further to their laurels. The Mayor then pre- sented the watch, which was inscribed as follows —" Presented to Pte. G. H. Fisher, R.W.F., in commemoration of his having won the D.C.M., by his former employer, A. P. Rogers, j an.,igiS. Mr. Fisher, se;:r., thanked the Mayor and Mr. Rogers for tHe great honour done to his son. He was pleased that his son did volunteer for the duty, and he was very pleased that he came back safe. (Applause). He thought that he did his duty there before he started. Discipline was a great thing in the Army, and he had a bit of discipline at home at one time. (Laughter). He was very proud that he had got a son like that. (Applause). He thanked the Mayor again for all he had done. He was sure he had had a long spell as Mayor, but he had to keep on till the end or the war, because they could not get another like him. When the war was over he must have a year's rest, arid then take on for another year. (Applause). ite. risuer, m response, said that it was a great pleasure to be with them, and he thanked them tor all their kindness. He thought it was his duty to do what he could, and he hoped he had done it in a manly manner. He hoped that he would come back again all right. (Applause). Mr. A. P. Rogers thanked the Mayor for coming there. His worship had a lot of duties to perform, and his time was taken up very much, and he thought it was a great honour that he should come to present that little token that evening. He was glad to see George back again and he hoped that it would not be long before he was back for good, with the war over and the Hun put in his proper place. (Applause). Mr. T. Rees seconded the vote oi thanks to I tie Mayor. The Strain of the Mayoralty. The Mayor, i: reply, referring to ins accep- tance of the Mayoralty, said that when others were called upon to do their duty he felt that he could hardly refuse to do his share. He hoped that peace would not be very long in coming, because he would be worn out if he went on much longer. It had been 3." years of strenuous work, and the duties were being added to day by day. First there was the Corporation work, then the war work, tribunal, dependants' and separation allowances, Red Cross work, sick and wounded, pensions, and many other things to see to, and latterly there had been a great deal-of work in connection with the Food Control Committee J All this work took up a great part of his time, i and those little gatherings helped one to wipe away the cobwebs and look upon the to ,lit?, side, and led one to hope that they were the fore- runners of many pleasant days that were to come in the future. He hoped that the war would soon end, for these were terrible times for those in responsible positions. On the question of food they were bombarded on all sides, and asked why they didn't do this, or why didn't they do that. It was all very well to talk, but he for one would willingly vacate his position and give way for anyone who could do the work better. The orders they got day by day from the Ministry of Food were almost innumerable. To even remember them needed no small effort, and to carry them out in detail required a cool head. Those who tried to do the work must do it unselfishly, for there was no use for selfishness. If he failed in his efforts they must credit him with having done the best he possibly could. ( applause). It would not be his fault if he could not get them food in Abergavenny. He did not think that there was any town in the country that was looked after as they were. As an illustration, a week the prevous Tuesday they received a telephone message that there was likely to be trouble in a town in the neighbour- hood unless some margarine was sent. They I gathered up the fragments and sent 144lbs. up by the first train, so they would see that they did not let other towns sutler if they could help it, but they shared and shared alike. He be- lieved that evervone was willing to bear their share ii others bore theirs. Let everyone be determined to suffer for the sake of others, and if they all suffered there would be no need for one to suffer more than another. Whatever position they were in, do not let them say that -So and so was better off than they were, but let them all try to do their best to help. The men at the front were doing the best they possibly could at their end, and it lay with us at this end to suffer, if there was need for it, and to be as brave as we could and put on a cheerful face, for it would encourage those who were fighting for us to do their share; over there. He appreciated what the town had done, and he thanked them and hoped that they would con- tinue to give as it had been given to them. (Applause). During the evening an excellent musical pro- gramme was gone through, songs being rendered by Messrs. Evan Price, Morrell, and W. Davies (Brynmawr), the latter's song, Eat less bread," causing much amusement, W. Powell, junr. Geo. Watts, J. Carter, O. Emery. Mr. W. Davies presided at the piano.

! "White Elephant" Sale. j
"White Elephant" Sale. j SUCCESSFUL EVENT AT ABERGAVENNY. I The White. Elephant Sale held at the Town Hall 011 Thursday in last week, in aid of the Town Hall Red Cross Working Party, was largely attended and proved a very successful event. There were various stalls on which articles, ranging in. price from 6d. to 5s. and over, were displayed for sale, and they fotuid ready pur- chasers who evidently did not regard them as white elephants and were quite willing to pay the price asked. At any rate, a good busi- ness was done by the ladies who presided over the stalls. The sale was organised by Mrs. Gilbert Harris, and tradespeople and others generously gave articles for sale. Mr. \j Horsington kindly erected the stalls, and Messrs. Jones & Co. (Bank House) and Messrs. Thomas and Sons (Golden Fleece) lent decorations, while Mr. G. R. Boundy lent a gramophone. The arrangements for the tea were in charge of the Mayoress and Mrs. Lloyd (Ty Llwyd), who adhered to strictly war-time rules. Each person had to bring his or her own sugar, and the food was rationed out on the basis of 20ZS. per head. Anyone who felt inclined to emulate Oliver Twist and ask for more was dis- qualified. Nevertheless, the tea was a great success and was thoroughly enjoved. The Mayor (Alderman Z. Wheatley, presided over the opening ceremony, and was supported on the platform by the Mayoress, Mrs. Attwood-Mathews, of Llanvihangel Court (who opened the sale), Mrs. Lawsoii (Mardv Park), Mrs. W. D. Steel, Mrs. IJoyd, Mrs. Gilbert Harris, and others. The Mayor, in a few introductory remarks, said that the Town Hall Red Cross Working Party was formed at the outbreak of war on the initiation of Mrs. Gilbert Harris. At the start efforts were made to provide articles for wounded soldiers, and over 1,800 articles were supplied to various hospitals. Later on, seeing that others were taking up this department, the members set to work to provide socks and shirts for the men, with the result that over 8,000 pairs of socks and shirts had been made and sent to various regiments for the benefit of the troops. One could enumerate other work that had been done, but this would suffice to show that the Town Hall Working Party had been very busy. All this work had entailed expense, and it was necessary to appeal for funds, and amongst the supporters there had been none more generous than Mrs. Attwood-Mathews, who had responded very liberally from time to time. He felt sure that that and other organisations had her entire sympathy. He hoped that when the sale was open the response would be liberal, and nothing would please the workers and Mrs. Attwood- Mathews more than that. Mrs Attwood-Mathews, in declaring the sale open, said that the welfare of our noble soldiers was their greatest interest, and especially those who were wounded. The ladies of Abergavenny had all done their utmost, and one felt that it had roused all their energy and spirit to a great work for the Red Cross. She felt that she never sufficiently realised what they could do for our beloved country. She knew it had helped many of them to bear the strain of the absence of husbands and sons to throw themselves into the hard, unceasing work, now carried on for nearly 31 years. She trusted and believed that the light would break through and the sun shine again upon a suffering, but a chastened people, raised out of their worldly selves and refined in the furnace of tribulation. They must now go to the tempting stalls and spend as much money as they were able to do. She thanked all the generous helpers, and declared the sale open. The stallholders were as follows 6d. stall—Mrs. Steel, Mrs. Posnett, Miss Routledge and Miss Dunn. is. stall—Mrs. Lawson and Mrs. Hobbes. is. 6d. to 2S. 6d. stall-Mrs. Heywood, the Misses Bates, Mrs. Merton Jones, Sirs. Morgan Owen. 5s. and over stall—Mrs. Corfield, Mrs. Powell Rees, Mrs. Blair, Mrs. Rogers, Mrs. Tresawna, Mrs. Miers. Toy stall-Miss Monica Hanrette and Miss Hamilton Jones. I Home produce stall and houpla—Mrs. R. Townsend, Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Jonathan, Mrs. Channock and Miss Dorothy Owen. Book stall—Mrs. R. W. Powell. The following ladies had charge of the tea tables :—Mrs. Jones (Hayden Villa), Miss Lowe, Mrs. W. Watkins, Miss Gladys Watkins, Mrs. Geo. Morgan, Miss Restall, Mrs. John Owen, Mrs. W. Thomas, Mrs. Ruther, Miss Kenington, Mrs. Redwood, Miss Sheddick, Mrs. J. Thomas, Miss Dorothy Price, Mrs. Beveridge, Miss K Beveridge, Mrs. Gardner, Mrs. Willcox, Miss Watkins (Great House), Mrs. Tonkin, Mrs. Balsdon, Mrs. Lawrence, Mrs. O. Davis and Miss Wheatley. Others who helped in cutting up and preparing the food were Mrs. Bradlev,Mrs. Dunn, Mrs. Hubert Evans, Mrs. Gibbs, Mrs. Richings, Mrs. Rosser, Mrs. Manuel, and Mr. Hubert Evans, while Mr. J. H. Redwood, as usual, gave his valuable services in making the tea. All the materials for the tea were given, and the Mayoress and Mrs. Lloyd desire to thank the donors for their generosity. The proceeds amounted to over ?80. The proceeds amounted to over so.
I Crickhowell Rural District…
I Crickhowell Rural District Council. Mr. W. G. James presided at the monthly meeting of this Council on Monday morning last, at the Town Hall, Crickhowell, when there were present Messrs. W. Rosser, A. J. Thomas, T. Ll. Jones, Henry Thomas, E. Pirie-Gordon, Philip Parsons, John Thomas, and the Rev. W. Arvon Davies. ALLOWANCE TO OFFICIAL. I It was stated with regard to the allowance paid to an official of the Council that his pay had now increased since enlistment, and instructions were asked for with regard to future deductions. Mr. A. J. Thomas proposed that the increased rate of pay shall be deducted since it became operative. This was seconded and carried unanimously. I PROPOSED MART AND GRADING CENTRE. A letter was read from the Executive Officer stating that the Food Control Committee wished to know whether the Council would support a proposal to establish a mart and grading centre in Crickhowell. Mr. James Howell, one of the joint secretraies of the local Farmers' Union, said there was a very strong feeling that a mart should be estab- lished in Crickhowell. For some reason or other the Agricultural Commissioner had decided against, but apparently he did not know how unanimous they all felt in this matter. A mart was of the greatest importance to the district, having regard to present circumstances, and bn the other hand it was a very old market town. They had to take their stock six miles away, and this was a serious handicap when they re- membered the shortage of labour and the great demands upon the farmers' time. Then, again, a district like Crickhowell ought not to depend upon other places for supplies, and if they did not succeed in their desire he anticipated they would meet with difficulty. He could not help thinking that the people who had been in touch with the Commissioner did not know much about Crickhowell. Mr. E. Pirie Gordon strongly supported the proposal. Anything that might prove of benefit to the town and district should have their unanimous support. Mr. Owen Price, the District Commissioner, was in favour of the town having a mart, and every possible effort would be made to get one. (Hear, hear). The Chairman moved a resolution strongly recommending the holding of a mart and grading centre in Crickhowell. Mr. E. Pirie-Gordon seconded, and it was carried unanimously. Mr. James Howell said the Farmers' Union proposed that a committee of nine, comprising three members from each of the following local bodies, should be appointed to make the neces- sary arrangements: Crickhowell R.D. Council, Crickhowell Farmers' Union, and Food Control Committee and he suggested that three might be appointed from that Council. The following were elected to represent the Council Messrs. Henry Thomas, A. J. Thomas, and James Howell. ————

WRISTLET WATCHES. I
WRISTLET WATCHES. I MORE PRESENTATIONS AT ABERGAVENNY. I Another smoking concert was held at the I Blac Lion Hotel on Thursday evening last, for I the purpose of making presentations of wristlet watches and giving a send-off to men who were on leave and were returning to the front. Coun- cillor Alfred Graham presided, and during the evening he was supported by the Mayor (Alder- man Z. W heatley, J.P.). Councillor W. J. Meale, and Councillor J. Cameron, of Ebbw Vale. There were three recipients present—Pte. Bowden, Pte. J. Roberts, qtlJ. Canadian Batt., and Pte. R. 1G. Rogers, 6th Yorks. Eight others who had been previously overlooked or who had gone back were on the list, and watches will be sent to them. These are R.-8.-I. H. Dyer, R.O.D., R.E. Corpl. A. Crutchlev, A.S.C., Pte. E. H. Walklev. Morgan, Pte. E. H. Walkley, S. W B Pte. Ba sil Morgan, Pte. W. P. Hughes, Welsh Guards; Sergt. J. Sullivan, 6th Welsh Pte. Sullivan, R.E. and Pte. Sheen. The Chairman, who occupied the chair in an able manner, referred in sympathetic terms to those who had made the supreme sacrifice, and specially mentioned Sapper McCarthy. He asked the company to rise to the- memory of those who have gone, and those present silently responded. The Spirit of Britain. In an interlude the Chairman said that he should like to see a message sent to the boasting Kaiser to the effect that we were going to win just to nark him. He hoped that the time would come when the Kaiser would have to walk along the streets of London and would have to tender his sword to our King and say For the future I owe you my allegiance," and nothing less than that was going to satisfy us, when he who called himself the Emperor of Germany acknowledged that there was another Emperor, a better man than he, and that was our King. I (Applause). In making the presentations, the Chairman said that these men, whatever they might think of them individually, had earned their gratitude. Nobody could expect a man to agree with everybody, and the man who agreed with everybody was a man who had got an india- rubber backbone, but they all agreed that these men who had been fighting and defending this England of ours were deserving of their best thanks and appreciation, for everyone of them carried in his hand the most precious thing with which he had been endowed —his life. He wished his loved ones good-bye, not knowing whether he would come back, and the farewell parting was often more trying to him than anything else he had to go through. He had seen men who had been brave enough in the trenches, but they were not very brave when saying good-bye to sweethearts and wives. It tested a man's courage more than fighting the Germans. It tore the heart-strings to part with those who were nearest and dearest. Now they were sending them back, and he hoped that that would not be their only visit, but that there would be another visit later on, when the war was over, and they would be able to sit down under their vine tree and no one would be able to make them afraid. (Applause). These men had been where death raged. They had risked their lives, not for earthly things. They wliv there because the spirit of Britain arose in them and they were filled with horror and disgust at the attitude of those who opposed us, those who trampled on children, ravaged women, and despised law and authority, those who had no respect for the rest of humanity, those who fought not only for the sake of winning territory in fair and honourable warfare, but would do any filthy, dirty, despic- able action, and would treat civilians in such a I way as to make one's blood boil, and treat prisoners as though they were worse than dogs. He had great pleasure in handing over those I small tokens of esteem, and when the recipients looked at their watches they would feel that Abergavenny appreciated them. He wished them the best of luck and Cod-speed, and he hoped that He who controlled the destinies of nations would treat them as they deserved to be treated, and they at Abergavenny would en- deavour to respect and honour and remember them, and those watches would be the tokens by which they would be remembered. They respected them as men and reverenced them as heroes, and whether their lives be long or short their names would be handed down in history as men who having a duty to perform did not fail at the moment of crisis. The Chairman then handed over the watches, amid applause. Took Their Lives in Their Hands The Mayor said that the committee were anxious to recognise every Abergavenny boy, no matter what position he occupied. The com- mittee were all working men and stood up for working men's rights, and they were doing it out of a true patriotic spirit. These boys went from their homes to somewhere in the fighting line. They at home did not know what they had to contend with, but they knew that they took their lives in their hands. And they were fighting for liberty and that we might live in concord and peace. He hoped that when they went back from Abergavenny they would remember that they at Abergavenny were thinking of them, watching their progress and praying that they might be protected, that they might be returned, to friends and relatives, and that peace might once more reign on this glorious earth of ours. (Applause). The Chairman said that they conveyed the same message of gratitude and appreciation to those who were not present as to those who had received watches that night. He called for three cheers for them, and this was heartily responded to. On the proposition of Councillor Meale, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded to the Mayor for his attendance, and three cheers were given for the Mayor and Mayoress. Mr. W. Russell proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman for presiding. He remarked that he had been a really good chairman, and that would not be the last time they would ask him to their gatherings. Three cheers were given for the Chairman, who briefly responded. During the evening, songs were given by several Brynmawr artistes, including Messrs. Morrell, Evan Price, W. Davies, and Hubert Parry, while Mr. Llew. Davies, of Abergavenny, gave a recitation.

A UKIQUE RECORD.—It was stated at the last I meeting of the Crickhowell Guardians that not a single person from Llangenny had been relieved j out of the rates for ten years. j CALLS IN DEFAULT.—At Monday's meeting of the Crickhowell Rural District Council it was stated that the quarterly accounts could not be all paid, because certain parishes had not paid in their calls. It was pointed out that a great deal of inconvenience was caused through this delay, and the Council unanimously decided to call the attention of the overseers and assistant overseers to the urgent necessity of prompt payment of calls.

(,nffithS, John Jones, A. J. Thomas, Henry Thomas, Mt. Gwilym C. James (National Service Represent; tive) and Mr. James Howat (Agriculture1 Representative). A collier, combed out as having gone into a colliery since August 1914, appealed against the decision of the travelling Medical Board) which had placed him in Class A. The mal1 produced several medical certificates shmdn that he is unfit for active service. The Tribuna unanimously decided that the man shall 1Je I examined by the Special Medical Board. A similar decision was arrived at in the case of a youth of If) passed into Class A, and wo put in a medical certificate showing that he is 1111 a delicate state of health. He had not been able to work since November. I Mr. T. LI. Jones I think it is a shame tha1 men are treated in this way. The National Service Representative referred, to the case of a man in agriculture whose case was reviewed at the last Tribunal on the grotfOj that he had left his employer. The man stated that he left because his employer wanted to reduce his wages and had not paid him regularly' Since then the employer had called upon hitJI and produced his books showing that the state' ments were not correct. As a matter of fact, the employer felt considerably aggrieved-alld properly so,—and this man ought certainly tS serve. Men were wanted for work of nation3^ importance, and the Crickhowell district ,vJ I asked to provide one out of the 40 to be iu-rnishc- by the county of Brecon. The man had lefl agriculture to go and haul pitwood, because I higher wages. The Clerk stated that a local pitwocd call tractor had put in a claim for the man. S The contractor stated that he had contract for the supply of many thousands of tons 0 pitwood-work of urgent national inil-)c)rtance-- and this man suited him admirably. The matl ? complaint against his former employer was th9 he was not paid every Saturday, and working' men to-day expected this.. He was paving 45s. a week. Mr. Gwilym C.
