IDANGEROUS PLACE TO BATHE…
I DANGEROUS PLACE TO BATHE IN. Mr. D. Rees, the district coroner, held an inquest on the body, at Barry Island Police Station, on Saturday afternoon. The father of deceased, Mr. J. W., Jones, secretary of the Ammanford Co-operative Society, gave evidence of identification. The deceased was staying at Penarth on his holidays, and came to Barry for the day with his sister. Evidence was given by Lynn Nor- man Richards, a lad, of Taff's Well, staying at 10, Harbour-road, Barry, that he went with deceased to bathe in the Harbour, and instead of diving towards the shore the deceased, who could not swim, leaped outwards, and got beyond his depth. Deceased be- came frightened and shouted for help. Witness ran to the boat-house, and called the boatman, John Rogers, who waded into the water up to his shoulders, but could not get any fur- ther, as he had received injuries to his body lately. Witness then called to a lad named Evan Griffiths, of 108, Woodland-road, and asked if he could swim. Griffiths, fully dressed, at once jumped into the water, but could not find deceased. A lifebuoy was also procured, but as the de- ceased did not come to the surface it could not be used. George Reed, another boatman, said with the aid of grappling irons, he afterwards found the body of de- ceased and P.C. R. Diamond and Mrs. Taylor, of 4, Kenilworth-road, had the body removed to 5, Romilly Avenue, the residence of deceased's aunt. Dr. Gillon Irving was sum- moned, but pronounced life to be ex- tinct. The Coroner remarked that the old harbour was a dangerous place to bathe in, on account of the slope and the quicksand. Everything possible had been done to save the deceased, and it was a plucky act on the part of Evan Griffiths in swimming out, fully dressed, in an attempt to effect a rescue. A verdict of "Drowned whilst Bathing was returned.

It was the first treat to the children since the declaration of war, and they were j naturally much excited and delighted. The Barry Town Military Band eMr. j A. J. Hopgood, conductor) headed the ( procession of children to the field, and also played a good selection of music during the afternoon, which was most enjoyably spent by the little ones. After tea the sports took place, in i which most of the children took part. j There was also, besides the children's) sports, a tug-of-war between teams I selected from members of the Club, j which afforded much amusement. Before leaving the field the children concluded their most enjoyable after- noon by singing the National An- j them to the music of the Town Band, and after the homeward march to.j Cadoxton, the children lustily cheered the directors and members of the Club for their hospitality.

If the straits in which Cardiff finds itself every summer, through inade- quate supply of water, and this year i notably so, will not tend to place an- other nail in the coffin of the wild- j cat scheme of the City Corporation, j to merge Barry in the county borough area, and to reduce Barrv to an in- significant parochial nonentity, then we fear some of our local councillors l are past hoping for.
