-?- -_u Lord Rhondda's -Visit to Mid-Rhondda. On Saturday last Lord Rhondda paid his nrst visit to Mid-Rhondda, since his accep- tance of the position of President of the Local Government Board. His Lordship spent a most busy afternoon and evening. First of all a visit was paid to the new and important venture at the Glamorgan Collieries, where there has been established a plant by the newly formed Rhondda Engineering Co. to utilise on & commercial acale small coal which lias hitherto been regarded as unsaleable, and consequently wasted. From there he proceeded to Pontrhondda, where he laid the foundation stone of the new piggeries to be erected with the assis- tance of the Cambrian Combine by the Mid- Rhondda Pig Society. His Lordship was received here by a committee of the work- men, and was presented' with a silver trowel which was suitably inscribed, to com- memorate the occasion. Mr. John Oriel acted as chairman, and formally made the presentation to Lord Rhondda, who in workmanlike manner laid the stone. In a brief speech his lordship said lie felt deeply honoured by the invitation which had been extended to him to come down and take part in the inauguration of the work of the Mid-Rhondda Pig Society. He believed they were proceeding on an excellent co- operative basis, and he hoped those who established piggeries in other districts would follow the strong lead given by this society It seemed to lend itself to a sys- tematic and easy collection of waste from the cottages. He understood it was their idea to employ one man to collect as much as possible, and by proceeding on these lines they ought to make it a very profit- able undertaking. They would also have this additional feeling of satisfaction, that by working in this way they were render- ing very patriotic service to the country in this very grave national crisis. There was no doubt a lot of waste food from the cot- tages, and he did not think there was any better way in which they could more use- fully employ their spare time in the national service. The breeds they decided to produce would be a matter for delibera- tion, but personally he had great faith in Gloucester Old Spots," and in order that they might commence their experimental research in the way of pig keeping he would be pleased to give them ten pure bred Gloucester Old Spots to start (applause). His old colleague Mons. E. Plisson, who was known in Cardiff as the Pitwood King, had also given him a cheque for 25 guineas to assist them, and with that money they would be able to get a litter or two of large whites, a cross between the two breeds he thought would be as profitable as any kind of pig to keep. The chairman announced that Mr. W. D. Rees, the veterhinary sur- geon of the Combine had readily promised to render them every assistance. Mr. E. StaIIard, one of the workmen, proposed a vote of thanks to Lord Rhondd'a, and in doing so said that Lord Rhondda was now in a position to use Ills great abilities in the service of the State. His lordship had had practical experience of the working clasaea, and the country would now have the advantage of the ser- vices of a man who had had his experience. Mr. W. Richards seconded. In response to the vote of thanka, Lord Rhondda remarked that in taking the a,et i on tbe- action they had there was probably no way in which they could increase the food pro- duction of the country more rapidly. That was why pig keeping was going to help us to meet the submarine menace more than the, breeding of any other kind of anima l, and also the growing of potatoes. He thought he was right in saying they could produce more food per acre by growing potatoes than any other kind of vegetable. That was the reason why the Local Govern mpnt Board, of which he had the honour ot being President at the present time. had been so anxious during the last couple oi months to stimulate food production by the establishment of allotments throughout the country. They wanted the local authorities really to be the driving force in this matter, and they had also made a special appeal to the coalowners, a request which bad been responded to in a. very handsome manner (applau-,e). It was up to them to see tha! the local authorities were kept up to the mark, and he believed the spirit that was now being shown in the starting of that organisation would make it a splendid success. The Local Government Board had given the local authorities power to take any land in the neighbourhood of towns, even without asking the consent of the owner, and even where that land was already under cultivation if they thought more food could be produced by making it up into small holding and allotments. One special feature of Saturday's pro- ceedings was the grand procession which had been organised by Mr. Geo. Payne, the Ambulance Superintendent at the Glamorgan Colliery. This contained the Tonypandy Hi hernia Band, under the conductorship of Mr. Geo. Thomas: the Llwynypia Fife Band, conducted by Mr. David Roberts; numerous companies of Ambulance Brigades, V.A.D., Boy Scouts. Girl Guides, and St. John's Ambulance Nurses. The route covered included Trealaw, Llwynypia. and Tonypandy. Banners and bunting were displayed en route, including one which bore the in- scription, Welcome to his lordship, who has created the dawn of a new era in the Rliondda, The Directors of the Cambrian Combine had issued invitations to tea. which was held at Trinity Vestry. Tonypandy, to a goodly number. Mr. Hedley Clark' pre- sided over the proceedings. Mr. Trevor Price gave in detail the result of the work of the Allotments Committee up to date, and mentioned that within a radius of two miles of Pandy-sqnare there was a. popu- lation of at least j0,000 people. Of these it is hoped to supply the bulk of their needs in the way of potatoes and other vegetables; and if the scheme proved suc- cessful they would produce sumcient to provide for one-seventh of the population within the Rhondda area. The piggeries would be a permanent institution, and would prove a lasting benefit to the community. Mr T. b. Lawrence, C.C., said that in connection with the War Loan, the directors of the Cambrian Combine set aside a sum of £30,000 to enable the work- men to take part, and this amount had been over subscribed for. In addition they had purchased 2,500 War Savings Certificates amongst the omcials only, and upwards of 80 associations had been formed in the Rhondda district for war savings purposes. Those who took part in the proceedings and who paid tribute to Lord Rhondda were Councillors Evan Roderick, Edgar Morgan, Mark Harcombe, Mr. John Hughes, Mr. Jno. Hammond (local labour leaders), who testified to the improved re- lationships between the workmen and their employers, and Mr. W. P. Nicholas. Lord Rhondda, in responding to a vote of thanks, expressed his surprise and gratification at the results which had already been attained. They had set a splendid example for other districts to follow. He was delighted to find they were making such progress in these times, because it would be folly to under- rate the submarine menace. He had not the least doubt we were going to win, and he was never more conndent than lie was that day (applause). But, at the same time, it was only by every man. woman and child putting forward every possible effort (loud applause). At a meeting at Ebenezer Chapel, Tony- pandy, on Saturday night. Lord Rhondda handed over to Lieut.-CoI. Hepburn, re- presenting the War Omce, a motor ambulance car subscribed for by the in- habitants of Mid-Rhondda. Selections were given at interavls by the Penygraig Choir, conducted by Mr. Tom HoweIIs. Mr. Hedley dark. M.E, general manager of the Cambrian Combine, who presided, remarked upon the fact that the car had been subscribed for by all classes and by all creeds. In fact when he told them that the loca l Free Church Counci) had gone into double names'! with a boxing committee, they would realise it (laughter). The presentation of the car brought with it a certain amount of sad- ness and sorrow.- They were proud of the fact that when the call came Lord Rhondda forsook nuance and took up the pen of justice, which meant victory for Britain (applause) Mr. Jack Hughes, for the Ambulance Committee, handed over an address to Lord Rhondda. In doing so Mr. Hushes referred to the title which his lordship had assumed. The former .said that whenever the Rhcndda was used anywhere it was known that it was situated in some part of South Wales. People in other parts of the country were not prepared to accept the theory that the men of Mid- Rhond'da. at least were exactly like the men -residing in other districts. As President of the Local Government Board Lord Rhondda was doing work which had a tre- mendous bearing upon the child-life of the United Kingdom. The following is the text of presented to Lord Rhondda -— To the Right Hon. Lord Rhondda. of Lla.nwern, President of the Loca) Government Board. Your lordship,—In the history of the Rhondda Valley, this day perhaps stands out more prominently than any other for many reasons, and opportunity is afforded us of being dutiful in many direction-). Since the commencement of the great war of the nations, the Mid-Rhondda district has given thousands of its sons in the fighting on the hattleneld of Europe. Strenuous work lias been carried on at home in supplying the wants of the sick and wounded, and to further the dutiful effort it was deemed advisable to procure a. motor ambulance for service at the front. The ear was purchased, and it being desired that someone should present it to the War Omce, the Committee who represented all the inhabitants of the dis- trict unanimously appointed your lordship to present the ear. You readily favoured us. Please accept our heartiest thanks for your presence on such an auspicious occasion. We desire to congratulate your lordshtp on attaining a peerage. The inhabitants, after you were rightfully recognised, felt highly honoured when you adopted your title after the d-iatrict where you have shown auch commereiit enter- prise. Congratulations are due to you also on your appointment to the Cabinet. taking a position as President of the Local Government Board. Though this script ie but a detail, yat when it is stated that the sentiments, contained in it are- the true heartfelt expressions of the Mid- Rhondda residents., we feel sure you wit! accept it in me spirit that characterises you as one of the greatest of the -,oiis of the British Empire. Sincerety wishing you a long life with health and strength to continue your great work for the country in general, We remain. Yours very respectfully, The Mid-Rhondda Motor Ambulance Committee." Lord Rhondda, who was greeted with applause, expressed appreciation of their great kindness in presenting him with that handsome address. It was a unique address in that the ink was made from the tar produced at the Glamorgan Colliery coke-ovens. It showed at any rate that Mr. E. M. Bowen, the analytical chemist, knew something about dves. There had been great complaints during the past tw., years, proceeded his lordship, that the Germans had appropriated the invention of dyes and had monopolised it. with the result that one of the disadvantages this country had' to suncr wa.s a lack of dve- stuns. He was hopeful that Mr. Bowen would remove that disadvantage. He (Lord Rhondda) would he delighted to assist him to do so. The speaker went on to say that he had been very much touched by the kindness he had received that afternoon in Mid'- Rhondda. He had received many invita- tions during the last coupfe of months to address meetings in various parts of the country. He was of the opinon, however, that it was a minster's function, not to address meetings about the country, but to work—if they were to win the war. He. might he allowed to say that the very great kindness he had received' that after- noon in Mid-Rhondda by alt sections of Hie community was not without signi- heance. He thought the very marked change of feeling in the district between Mr. Jack Hughes and his friends and Lord Rhondda this was significant, and* showed the unity between all sections in the country since the war began. The speaker went on to say that he was out of business for the time being, having given up all his directorships, and he hoped that the feel- ing that Mr. Jack Hughes had shown towards him that day was not due to the fact that the speaker was no longer a director of the Cambrian Combine (laughter). It really showed a greativ improved feeling between all classes in the Empire to-day. Wales had* done remarkably well during the war, he went on, done nobtv. She had given a very targe number Df *M(Ifl to the service of the' country, made large quantities of munitions, and had done splendid work for the hospitals. But he ventured to say that no part of Wales had < done more nobly than Mid-Rhondda together with the district situated between two or three miles from w here they wera that night (applause). He was tofd that approximately something like 7,000 of the workman of the Cambrian Combine had joined the colours. Some unfortunately had made the supreme sacrince and had laid down their lives on the altar of theh- country. In thi: connection he would liko to say that he hoped some lasting memorial would ha raiMd to these fall.a heroee (applause). it wa, a "man part of what they had done. Th.y w.re again shon-ilig their .ympathy with tll(),;o at the front br handing the motor ajnbui&nce t<p Colon'l Hepburn. They were doing all thpy eqqld, and had done a great doal. Aft<T all, the collieries had done their hit in this great war by supplying the Nary with coal. Had it not been for coal from S<iuth Wales our gaUant Navy would not have been able to defend our shorea and to keep tlieGermaiR Fleet locked up in German porte. Thev were doing all they could, but they could do a bit more. He wap; speaking as a member of the Government. He thougkt they could still further hetp im the mattor of coal production, and he wanted to ask those of them who were actually working at the coal-face to increase thor output. They cou!d assist the Coal Controller bv producing aa much as thev cnu!d and' by economising in pit-wood. One of the dimcultica in this country to-day vras the shortage of tonnage and the diSc-uItv of unporting timber and other goodt. If he had been a Socialist—which he was not (laughter)—now that the collieries had become under State control, he would ea- ,11 11 aea.vour to ao more &na tnus ahow that thf Government could manage collieri(-s better than the coa-Iowners. This could be don" by increasing production and making every economy. All in this country had responded nobiy durmg the war, nnd he was much mort, proud of being a Welshman or a. Briton to-day than he was three yeara ago (applause). He did not think that if one (Continued on Page 3).
