I GILFACH GOCH COLLIER'S STRAIN. I Ephraim Thomas, cuLier, Giliach Gaeh, iiicct the Britannic Collieiy Company at ijiiugend on Thursday, the 7th inst, for ompensation. J-.lr llarmond, for the applicant, said that on the 4th December, 19iG, applicant .s pushing an etnpty tram when, in his ,h.ll words, it seemed "as though a pape had burst" inside him, and he fell ior ard and spat up b ood. He continued LO spit up blood until last Februa.i'j*, but he continued at work until the ^9tli De- Ltraber, 19] G, and later on returned to vork again for awhile. Mr Prosper, for respondents, contended hut applicant was not suffering from the .-fleets of the alleged strain, and sug- sted that lie was consumptive. A good deal of medical evidence was i.en for applicant, which was to the >T:-(t that there was no trace of coh- -illitioll, but that he had valvular disease ..•I the heart, which remained dormant at] he had the strain on the 4th De- ■embcr, and that the spitting of blood -as due to the rupture of smaU vessels the lungs due to the "hack pressure" f blood from the heart. His medical wit- i s=es said1 that the valvular disease of hB heart might have remained dormant •u- some years had. it not been fa" the :flen strain, but how long it. would ave remained dormant they c:m'd not y, and it was admitted that sooner or it&r he would have developed the same -/mptoms in the natural course of the (1 ,N1e. •Tudge Rowlands said that what he had o decide was the length of the 'pe-iod in Iiirli aprlicant wou'd have suffered from he consequences of the strain on the ,f.!vDecember, 1916. and h^ gave h'm com- ens">tien to th"> date rf this action. Ap- licnnt had stated that he "as ready to employment, and Mr. Prosser -o'd this had already been offered to him.

RKONCDA Education Committ.ee CLEANERS AND CARETAKERS. At a meeting of the Rhondda Education Committee on Wednesday, the Chairman (Councillor James James), before pro- ceeding with the business, moved a vote of sympathy with the Clerk (S.r Walter Nicholas) in his illness and it was car- ried. DELEGATES TO CONFERENCES. Delegates were appointed to represent the committee at a conference at Cardiff with reference to the organ:salion of secondary education in Wales and at an- other in London upon the administration of the Mental Deficiency Act. RESIGNATIONS ACCEPTED. The committee accepted the resignations of Dr. Hughes, assistant medical office:' of health and Miss F. John, headmistress of Trea'aw School. THE UNCERTIFICATED TEACHERS. With reference to the application of the uncertificated teachers for increased sal- aries, Miss Gwen Ray, secretary of the Rhondda Ciass Teachers' Assoc. ation, wrote agreeing to suspend the campaign pending the issue of the report of tne joint standing committee now sitting, on December loch, but adding that the un- certificated teachers could not commit themselves to the findings of the com- mittee. The writer also asked for a date between December 15th and the 24th on which to meet the Education Com- mittee to discuss the matter-. Councillor Abel Jacob moved and Coun- eider E. J. Roderick seconded, that the deputation should appear before the Edu- cation Committee as a whole. WAGES OF SCHOOL CLEANERS. I The Building Committee reported upon the application of the school cieune s tor increased wages and recommended that they be granted such further percentage as would be equivalent to 100 per cent. of the.r pre-war wages and that they be g:anted an increase of 100 per cent, in the scale allowance for cleaning materials, to be retrospective to the 1st October. Councilor John Williams, Ferndale, commented on the fact that no reference was made to the lighting of fires or carry- ng in coal for which six-pence per load was paid at Maerdy Boys' School. The Director of Education (Mr T. W. iierry) According to our regulations cleaners are not supposed to touch it; if ihey do they are reprimanded by me. Mr Williams: I think Mrs. Ma.tin, Maerdy, would be glad of a reprimand. the Deputy Director: I have spoken to Mrs Martin myself. The Chairman: If she insists upon do ng it- Mr Williams: She is under the impres- ion that she has to do it, but I will ao- ept the Director's statement. I wil give you an example of the conditions at the buffryn School, .Ferndale, where there are fen classrooms, main hall and a private room. The Chairman interrupted whereupon Mr John Wildams said I want to draw the attention of this council to the shameful conditions under which these people have Ik en working and I would like to compare hem with the cleaners of chape s, vestries, etc. The Chairman: You a.re out of order; ■ here is no application, before us. Mr Dan Davies, J.P. This is very un- air to the Building Committee. The oiilv application that came before the 'iuilding Committee has been dealt with and granted. Is Mr Wi liains here on be- half of the Association or on behalf of the atepayers? Mr Williams: I am here on behalf of .he ratepayers like you. The Chairman; You must put yourself .a order. There is at present no app Ica- on before the committee. The applica- ion of the cleaners has been dealt with and they have had everything they asked lor. ior.lr W. Q,. l,ane: This is not quite faii- the Buildin- Committee, and some 01 ,8 on that committee are as anxious to ,o justice to these people as Mr Wiirams. I eo not like this attack. The Deputy Clerk (Mr T. G, Jones) pro- "eeded to read the correspondence which aad passed with Mr Rees Llewellyn on the ra' ject and Air J. Williams asked that the question if payment for Ij ghting fires be referred 1) ck to the Building Committee. He sa:d hat in pre-war days the cleaners were abb to obtain boxes from shops for fire- wood but now there was a greater diffi- •uliv.. Mr I. T. Rees What is the custom w;th c; ard to fi ewood? Are they supposed to :L\l their own firewood? Mr A. J. Cook said that statements ere circulated that the recent strike had' orced the hands of the committee to con- •ede the demands of the cleane s but he bought it should be made known that the matter had been discussed by the com- mit Lee in anticipation of an application; ( he -committee praeticaHy invited an ap- plication from these people. His conir nbrinfc was that neither the director nor lie cleaners' rcprespntntives had ac- quainted1 them of the fact that the:r de- ands had been conceded before they -tr.-ck. The Chairman They ceased work after e had granted their demands. The Director requested a personal ex- la > ation and said that it tvar a rule of the -ouncil tll-t no o^cial should communi- cate anything of what had transpired in committee. Replying to Mr 1. T. Rees' question the Director said it would be impossible to suppiy firewood and the matter was re- ferred to the cleaners who were paid 2s. per month per fire m respect of firewood, Mr Mark Harcombe sa.d that overtures had been made to colliery compan.es for ifrewood but they had refused. Mr W. P. Thomas: That is not cor- rect. Mr Harcombe: It is correct, and we wrote; to them a second time and sti.1 they refused. The Director said it was only fair to say that a certain quantity of firewood had been supplied by the Ocean Company and Messrs. D. Davis and Sons. Mr O. J. Buckjey suggested that the colliery companies be again communicated with. After further discussion the Chairman ruled that the matter raised hy Mr Jolin W ihiams was out of order because no ap- plication had been received through a Trade Union. Mr Williams replied that his p- ii-z about fire lighting was included ia- tne original application. The report of the Committee was adopted. THE SCHOOL CARETAKERS. A deputation representing the school caretakers appeared before the committee with reference to the wages question. Mr Rees Llewellyn said that the care- takers asked for the same remuneration as general labourers in other departments. Whatever view was taken of the work of the caretaker he was ent.t ed to the wage paid to the unskilled man. The last in- crease paid to the former class was 5s. in February last bringing them to the level of the lowest paid: workman; the;r pre- sent rate was R3 Is. per week and they asked for an additional 4s. The Chairman You will agree that the committee dealt with them very fa.rly and that we granted everything they asked for until the application put in in September Mr Llewellyn: That is so, sir. The Chairman: The men were aware of the committee's decision when they ceased work ? Mr Llewellyn: No, sir; there was a misunderstanding. Neither the men nor myself knew the actual dec sion. Mr W. S. Lane compared the work of a caretakcr with that of labourer and said he would prefe" the former because the caretaker lost no time through bad weather and he enjoyed the advantage of holidays. As a Labour member of the Build.ng Com- mittee he said he did not think it qutte fair to place the committee .n the jight that it had not treated the men fairly. Some of the members felt that they them- selves had not been fairly treated. It was their children who had to suffer through a strike and he thought that there ought to be a better understanding between Mr Llewe lyn and the com- mittee. Mr Llewellyn disclaimed responsibility for the strike. Mr A. J. Cook said he .was afraid that Mr L ewellyn was taking advantage of the Labour composition of the Council and was taking upon himself an arbitrary atti- tude. Mr Llewellyn That I emphatiral y deny, and if Mr Cook knew something about it he would know that I had been in com- munication with the men in all parts of :he va ley. Thp men knew at the t'me what they were coming out for. After a protracted discussion the matter was referred to the Building Committee.

AN OLD YSTRADYFODWG DIVINE. Many years ago—to be exact, 17ö{) -the Rev. Henry Davies was riding on horse- back along the bank of the Rhondda nea-r Rhydyceirw, by Pontypridd, when the norse either fell or jumped into the river. Many days elapsed before the r.cer s body vas found, though the horse escaped un- hurt. A woman living at Rhydyfelm iv a nit that the body was in a deep pcot at the junction of the Taff and the Rhon- dda. A search was nftde, and the body was found with one arm around the root of a tree. The hand' of the other arm clutched a book he was reading w hen the accident happened. This old ministe," of Ystradfodwg was the great-great-grand- i'at'ier of the late Dr. Henry Naunton D ivies, of Porth.

q I ■■■■■Mm r~.r-nrri—j]|"f' v uma— Are Babies a Luxury? i THIS is a question a newspaper corres- pondent asks and then proceeds to answer in the affirmative. He says a baby's first outfit to-day costs what would have been a substantia! dress allowance for its mother a few years since. A pram. costs as much as a good bicycle. But supposing it does cost more your baby is here and you want the little one to grow up strong and healthy. H you can't feed him yourself you will get fresh cow's milk of course. Like everything else that's goae up also. How can you make it into the very finest food for building up baby ? The answer is Use Milk with Moseleys Food. Moseleys Pood trebles the food value of milk tor babies. Every doctor will ten you that cow 's milk by itself is much too heavy for eny child under two years of age. But irvrreJy letting it down with water won't do. it requires the addition of Mosefeys Fotd as weii as water. Then the Food acts on the cheese-like curd ot the milk and breaks it up into fine parti- cles of nourishment which together with t the strengthening properties of Moseleys Food provide Pik-, body building materials baby needs Use Moseleys Food and you get better food for baby at less cost. The feeding schedule for b»E»ies under 12 months old which is enclored in every tin shows that an average child can be well led with milk and Moseleys F'ozd from birth to ite first birthday on ies4 than an average of It pints of milk p w dry.
