BURCLARS AT BOVECA.I
BURCLARS AT BOVECA.I WEEK-END VISITORS IN CASTLE- STREET PREMISES GRATE TORN AWAY, I When Mr. Owen. the manager of the Bovega Hotel, .Castle-street, Swansea,, entered the premises on ^Vlonday morning, it was to find that in the period of pro- hibitad hours since Saturday night he had "had uninvited and unwelcome guests. The promises had been burgled. A I.,cafler reporter who got on the scene found that confusion reigned supreme. Here and there a lock had been wrenched off: the cash. register had been examined and found wanting, from the burglars' point of view; but another money receptacle had been wrenched open and a sum of a.bout £10 abstracted. I GRATE WRENCHED AWAY. I Behind the counter tlttrf, were other signs of confusion. A grate had been wrenched away, and with the aid of sundry cshisels and other. implements, in- cluding a stout piece of wood that had probably served as a battering ram, efforts had been made to break through the wall leading to a jeweller's shop next door. A number of bricks had been removed. Mr. OwMi declined to discuss the ques- ¡ tion of the burglary, but as fa\as our man was ab?e to ?athpr th? bu,rg ri got in through a skylight, entry haying been fairly easily gained to the mir of adjoin- ing premises. I TOOLS LEFT BEHIND. The burglars seem to have had a rather poor return for aU their efforts, for about JulO iw money, some cigars and whisky, and sufficient food for a Laity rnoal sums up the total aehioved On the debit side must be plaaed the value of tools they left behind thean. It was stated that a note to the teos was leit. <m the counter, to the effect that the intruders would eaU back for their tools. Mr. Owen had been discreet enough to take aiway with hhu the takings, and place them in safer surroundings, or there would have been a rare haul for the in- I vad ers. The owner of the hotel, Mr. D. J. Bassett. is away in London at present. Up to the time of writing no police informa- tion is available, but Detectives Eynon and. Francis are on the job."

I Saturday's meeiting of Mr. Radcliffe, from the Investigation Department of the Ministry of Labour, Mr. Samuel Stephens, representing jtie Employers* Association, and Mr. Ben Tillett, M.P., and Nfi.

The National Temper- ance League was specially for business men.. Drink in business was a corrupt ing influence cursing him that gives and him that takes.

STUDENTS' 'SOCIAL.I A; .
STUDENTS' SOCIAL. I A; A pleasant evening was spent at the Grof-venor Hotel on Saturday by the final Iron and Steel students from Swansea Technical College. The purpose of the gathering was to show to all concerned the students ap- preciation of the services of Mr. J. C. Godsell as a teacher and friend. Mr. Godsell took over the 1. and S. clasees after the outbreak of war, and since then the classes have grown enormously. The tmof the claes has been ex- tremely gratifying.. During the three years Mr. Godsell ,has been at Swansea his successes have been as follows:-17 students entered and passed Grade I and II. in the City and Guilds Examination in iron and steet -zaanufaetttre, 15 of whom obtained 1st class honours. This year 10 students have entered Grade I. and II., and six the Final Grade, while eight students will complete the Final Grade next iSion, At LlAnelly over a period of eight years he has entered 50 students for Grade I. and fir without a i failure. wbile five bronze medals have come, to his students out of a possible 24 for the whole Kingdom. One student holds both the silver and bronze medal, no other student in the Kingdom having obtained this distinction during the past 12 years. During the evening Mr. Godsell was the recipient of a bandsoo- present at i the hands of the students.
