SECULAR FUNERAL. I
SECULAR FUNERAL. I Unique Service" at Danygraig. Those connected with the Swansea branch of the National Secularist Society took particular interest in tho first funeral service conducted under their auspices, at Danygraig Cemetery, Swan- sea. on Thursday afternoon, and thought the public would like to know that such proceedings were permitted. The funeral was that of Mr. Francis Prior, of 51, Westbury-street, Swansea, member of the Secularist Society. There was a small group at the cemetery await- ing the arrival of the funeral, and the proceedings were 'conducted in silence, broken only by the reading of tho formal address, which constituted the service." There was na singing, and there were no further remarks. Among those present were Mr. Robert Prior (brother of the deceased), May Prior (sister-in-law), Mr. Dupre (secre- tary of the National Secular Society, Swansea branch), Mr. Ben Jenkins (chair- man), Mr. J. T. Lloyd (vice-president), Mr. Charles Webb (uncle of deceased), Mr. James Webb (uncle), Mr. Stanley Webb (cousin), Mr, W. J. Thompson, and Mr. Evan Price (Llanelly). Before the reading of the service from Services without Theology," the repre- sentative of the Secular Society (Mr. J. T. Lloyd), said their brother was a con- vinced Secularist, who had done what he could to propagate its views, and he liad lived and died holding those views. There were lengthy references in the printed address, which was then read, to love and duty to humanity, and to charity, but no mention of soul or resurrection. They held their brother in high esteem for his life and character, and now bid him fare well, as they committed his body to the keeping of Mother Earth, which received them all,, and they would think of him with loving remembrance, and themselves go hence in the spirit of love, charity and service to one another.

Babies, like everything else, are costing more. Clothes, prams, medicines, and nurses' wages are all up," and likely to rise still. Yet, who begrudges the little one its keep. Certainly not Mother. If it costs four times as much baby mustn't suffer. At the same time there's no reason why mGueyshoHld be waster bnying food for baby which is only half feeding it and sometimes not really feeding it at all. And this is very often the case where oi-dinaxy cows milk in either its fresh, dried, or condensed forms are used. For when you think of it Nature doesn't make cows' milk to feed babies. It is too heavy, it has a curd or cheese- like portion which the strongest Imby cannot-properly digest. Mothers think that when they weaken or thin the milk by adding water they overcome this difficulty, but they don't. They reduce the quantity of indigestibit matter, but don't make it any more digestible. When you add Moseleys Food t'. milk it makes every bit of nourishment in the milk available for even the weakest baby digestion, and the com- bincd Moseleys Food and milk is as like Mothers' Milk as possible. Babies whb: have been unable to retain the weakest milk and water when put on Moseleys Food have changed from fretful pnling little mites to quiet contented babies —from being a source of worry to a real t addition to life's best enjoyment. And this, remember, without adding a farthing to the cost of parentage, for a fart l iin.- to the co. Moselcy's Food gives treble value to the milk used. Indeed, it means a dis- tinct saving, and although a shilling or two a week saving would appeal to no mother if baby suffered, when it means that baby's health, growth, and enjoy- ment is increased it is well worth while to test Humanises Cow's Milk for Baby.

I INSURANCE SURPLUS, Mr. Colwill Wants to Know Where it Goes. -1, The afternoon meeting of the Welsh In- surance Committees at the Guildhall en Thursday afternoon was presided over .by Dr. Harding (Radnorshire). i Aid. Wm. Jenkins (Cymmer), miners' agt. spoke strongly on the question of housing, and said they were largely in tb$ hands of officials. There were too mfthy surveyors on the housing commit- tift and other committees on the matter, MIØ not enough doctors. The problem of health was of the utmost importance. There were too many interested people administering legislation in this country. He urged that a separate Ministry of Health should be appmnted for Wales.. FIGHTING TUBERCULOSIS. 1 The doctor touched on the Ministry of I Health and the necessity tor giving it a complete test by securing not only the Jo-operation of local authorities and in- surance committees, but the general pub- ic as well. The problem of combating tuberculosis., he thought, called for the fcomplete segregation of affected persons. Councillor G. H. Colwill paid a tribute lo Alderman Jenkins' address, and said that in Swansea they had two of the finest medical men in the country in Dr. Evans, the Medical Officer of Health, "ind Dr. Clifford the tuberculosis officer. fThey gave the benefit of their skill un- selfishly, and nothing disappointed them taore to have to witness all their good 'Tork practically undone by the patients having to return to the dens that passed ter houses. He went 'on to describe the Condition of soma of the dwellings, and tl&id that the Swansea Labour Associa- tion had prepared a black list of them, which the Council were ashamed and afraid to traVilitsh. INSURANCE SURPLUS. I He wanted to know wnat became of the surplus funds secured from insurance contributions in Wales alone, which in 3916 amounted to over a million pounds. This sum could be utilised to help to alleviate the housing position, but they heard nothing of it, beyond that it had heen forwarded to the "National Debt Commissioners for investment." Dr. Richards, replying, said that that "Was a question to be addressed to the Kational Debt Connnisaioners, although if the sum was a million in 1916 it should ba nearer two now. A vote of thanks was passed to Messrs. Jenkins, Evans, and Dr. Richards for their addresses, and to the ex-president. Mr. Colwill, persisting in his query, a resolution was eventually passed instruct- ing the secretary to write the National Debt Commissioners regarding the sur- plus funds.

This is the thirty-third production of its kind emanating from Harry Day, with whose successful work the majority of Moss Empire patrons are familiar.

SWANSEA'S LOANS. 1 Position Considered in Private. Swansea Council, at its special meet- ing on Thursday, agreed to the Finance Committee mmutes, moved by the Mayor and seconded by Mr. F. J. Parker, author- ising the borrowiing of CIOO,000 and ulti- mately up to X34,0,000 from the Bank of England at £ 20,000 per month for twelve months, if required. Mr. David Williams (St. Thomas) said he was anxious to find out the interest payable on these borrowings. He con- tended there was a method of getting the money on slightlv more favourable terms by appealing to lo al patriotism. The Mayor pointed out that the minute itself showed what Mr. Williams asked —that the loans would be at bank rates varying." The Council further considered the mat- ter in point, and the minutes were adopted, a motion by Mr. David Williams to defer receiving ten votes. The Mayor ruled that Mr. Lovell would have to give notice of a motion to con stitute the whole Council the Finance Committee. This followed a suggestion by Dr. Stephens that a special meeting of the Council should consider the wlkolo position. I A U LUXURY" DEFERRED. On the Parks Committee minutes, Mr. Lovell moved that the one reemmending the provision of a full-sized bowling green and tennis courts at Oystermouth be deferied. This was a luxury. Mr. J. J. Jones defended the proposal as one of the best investments the Coun- cil could have, but the Council decided aa the deletion of tho minute. I BUSES IN LIEU OF TRAMS. The Joint Sub-Commitree of Tramways and Highways, Committees re Transport Facilities reported having resolved that the question of constructing tramways upon the Llansamlet road from the Cross, Morrisron, to Lonlas, and upon the Neath road from the Dolphin Bridge to the Wychtree Bridge be deferred in view of the very large expense involved, and that steps be taken to establish motor bus services in lieu of tramways. The Committee' also resolved that powers be sought in the Swansea Corpor- ation Bill, 1920, to operate motor bus services on the following routes outside the borough ;-From borough boundary on Clyne Common to Bishopstone; from borough boundary at, Killay, via Killay, Parkmill, Penmaen, NicholastOn and Heynoldston, to Horton and Bftrteynon; from borough boundary at Killay to Rhossilli, via Killay, Parkmill, Penmaen and Nicholaston; from boundary at Kil., lay to Llangennith, via,Killay and Llati- rhidian; from the borough boundary at Killay to Llanmadoc, via Killay, Llan- rhidian and Cheriton; from borough boundary at Watiharlwydd to Gowerton, Penclawdd and Llanmorlais; from bor- ough boundary at Llewitha Bridge to Gorseinon and Pontardulais; from bor- ough boundary at Llewitha Bridge to Lotighor; from borough boundary at Penllergaer to Pontardulais, via Cadk; from borough boundary at Penybank to Llangyfelach and Penygors, via Mvnydd- bach; irom borough boundary at Clydach to Pontardawe; from borough boundary at Lonlas to Neath, via Skewen; from borough boundary near Baldwins works to Neath, via Jersey Marine and Skewen.

GUARDIAN ABE FREEDMAN, who told a Leader representative on Friday that he was looking forward to a. triuniplymt return at the polls to- morrow. Mr. Freedman, who is on the Alanage- ment Board of the Swansea Hospital, has been for several years a member of the Board of Guardians, and is vice-chair- man of the Swansea Town Association Club, is a gentleman who has devoted himself with enthusiasm and sincerity to every cause he has 'espoused. Chatting to a reporter he said: I am seeking election becauso I feel that the ratepayers of the ward (and I lnyself am one of the heaviest ratepayers) could be better represented by one like myselt who has something at stake. You can naturally see that I will be keen for re- trenchment, because the higher the rates are the more I will personally have to pay. That is an important aspect. Of course I am proud of tho fact that so far as my public life is concerned I have at all times served first and foremost the interests of the poor in my ward. That is why I am confident many of my Labour friends will support tne," Mr. Freedman is a member of many friendly societies, a trustee in the Odd- fellows, and is chairman of the Swansea Town Swimming Club. He is i ornate in being able, if he is returned, to devote the necessary time to municipal attains, and as his record on the Board of Guar- dians shows he is an earnest and willing servant of the electors. Of his popu- larity there is no doubt and if this counts for anything in the Castle Ward the issue is certain.

£ 7,000,000. I What it Would Cost to Put Swansea Housing Right. At Swansea Council on Thursday, Aid. P. Molyncux moved the adoption of the Housing Committee's report (already summarised in tliese columns) recom- mending that a return required by the Health Ministry showing the number of houses needed in the borough in the next few years as 6,378, 3.925 of which are to be provided by the Town Hill, ]Viorriston and Fforestfach schemes, Avliile new sites now adopted would accommodate a further 2,020. I17,000,000 IF BUILT. Aid. Moiyneux, in alluding to a recom- mended increase in the number of quan- tity-surveyors, .said he was concerned that there should be no delay from in- adequacy of staff, and it was clear that if the work was to proceed at the best possible pace this assistance must be ob- tained. If they were able to build the 0,000 odd houses mentioned in the next three years, it would mean an expendi- ture of seven millions, but of course it was a physical impossibility to so build them. He was hoping some other sys- tem than the present would evolve—con- crete blocks, terra cotta blocks, perhaps steel and concrete, he did not know what —for it was clear that the present method was too slow for the needs with the demands that were being made upon it. To show the need in Swansea, he men- tioned that there were 4,000 houses in the boroogh with more than one family— in fact with more than two people for one room. The report was adopted.

IMUNITION COURT. r
I MUNITION COURT. r ————— ————— Port Talbot Seelworker'a Claim Adjourned. Mr. J. Vaughan Edwards presided over a meeting of the South-West Wales Muni- tion Court on Thursday afternoon, when a claim was made by a workman for wages in lieu of notice, he alleging that he was dismissed without notice. The employer's defence was that the man was not dismissed, but that he, with otners, automatically ceased work because of slackness, and that he could have con- tinued work when the slackness had been obviated. There was some misapprehen- sion as to whether the man had confused certain issues relating to the precise steel works he was engaged at, which wafe the Port Talbot Steelworks. It was further pointed out by the works representative that the policy of the firm had been to chare the available work among the workmen as far as possible rather than issue notices to a large num- ber of men for whom, through slackness. there was not enourrli work. The case was adjourned for further evi- dence to be called. REFERRED FOR ARBITRATION. The next claim was that of an employe I of JNtessrs. T. W. Ward and Co. for non- compliance with a certain scheme of wages. The workmen alleged that de- fendants had not paid an increase of 5>. 4ld. on a wage of tt IGs, 10s. (on the scale drawn up by the Welsh Tinplate Associa- tion), and was enid to have been adopted by defendants. The case was referred to a Court oi Arbitration.

I "SHANGHAI." !
I "SHANGHAI." I Next Week at the Grand. I Shanghai is sure to raise consider- able interest amongst theatre-goers in Swansea next week, where it is due to appear at the Grand Theatre. This musical play comes to us direct from Drury Lane Theatre, and can safely l'e classed as one of its many triumphs. No effort has been spared to make this parti- cular scrap of China enchanting to the eye and ear. From a musical point, it abounds in many attractive features, and it possesses a well-sustained story, not over burdened with detail yet serving tho desired purpose. The chief clialrni of Shanghai is its story and its setting, musically and scenically. There is much pretty music, and the staging of the piece is certainly in the direction of gorgeous- noss. Unquestionably Shanghai" is j* pleasant and very amusing musical comedy. The story is in two acts, a street in Shanghai comprising the opening act. The second act is divided into four scenes, Aboard the Junk Marskee" being a particularly pretty hcene. There will be six evening performances at 7.30, with matinee on Saturday. It will bo advisable to book your seats early.
