"TWM SHON CATTI." A Singular Story at Pontar- dawe Tribunal. The Pontardawe Tribunal met on Tues-j day, Mr. D. T. Jones, Cwmllynfell, pre- siding in the absence of Mr. Morgan Daviee, who was indisposed. Captain Harold Williams was the military repre- sentative present. A meat purveyor from Cwmgoree, 20 years of age, was represented by his mother. She admitted that ehe had two other eons in a colliery Capt. Williams: Wouldn't you like to have one of your eons in khaki or in the Army ? Applicant: We have seen plenty of Army all our lives. (Laughter). The boy was ordered to appear before the Medical Board. IN THE ARMY. When the name of a Pontardawe butcher was called out, the clerk an- nounced that the man was in the Army. (Chorus of Hear, hear.") PLAYING BILLIARDS. When the appeal of a young man of 19 wao under consideration, it was stated that applicant was spending half hia time at a local Institute playing billiardS, The application was refused. V.T.C. MAN'S EXCUSE. A grocer who asked for a renewal of his exemption was asked why he did not at- tend tne V.T.C. regularly. Well," replied the applicant, I have to do a great deal of soliciting, and you know how women keep you talking when you call on them." (Laughter). Applicant was granted two months, and he was told to put in regular attendance with the V.T.C STRANGE CASE. A Graigcefnparc miner appealed on be- half of his adopted son of 18, who had charge of his farm of 76 acres. The appli- cant said he had taken the farm for the Elake of the boy, who was very fond of farm work. A member of the Tribunal explained the peculiar way in which the boy came to be adopted by the applicant. He said that about IS years ago a woman, who was massing the house of the applicant, was taken seriously ill. She was given shelter and treatment by the miner and his wife, and a few days later she gave birth to the boy, for whom the appeal was now lodged When the mother recovered she left the bouse, and nothing had been heard of her since She left the boy behind with the miner and his wife, to their surprise. The Clerk: Another Twm Shon Catti. (Laughter). Conditional exemption was allowed.

NEATH SCHOOLS PROBLEM.f
NEATH SCHOOLS PROBLEM. f Unsatisfactory Attendance I Discussed. 1 The attendance problem again occupied I the attention of the Neath Education Committee on Tuesday, when it was re- ported that the average attendance was only 82.7, and there was a decrease of 99.7 on the register compared with the corre- sponding period last year. Mr. Davies (School Attandance Officer) said a number of families had left the town. He could not account for <• the decrease in any other way. The Chairman (Ald. Hopkin Morgan) expressed dissatisfaction with the returns. and it was decided to make an effort to re- vise the present system. The question of insuring against air- craft was raised, and the Mayor (Aid. H. P. Charles) said it had been before the Finance Committee, but as a matter of ,3D was involved he thought it would be more satisfactory for that authority to deal with it. After discussion it was decided to insure.

ALLOTMENT SCHEMES.
ALLOTMENT SCHEMES. o Encouraging Meetings of Local Associations. TREBOETH AND DISTRICT. -1 A well-attended meeting of the Treboeth I and District Allotment Society took place ( at the Public Hall on Tuesday evening. I Mr. Arthur M. James presided. The Secretary (Mr. W. Clement) said since the last meeting he had made exten- sive inquiries regarding the working of other societies, and the chairman had been good enough to have a copy of rules typed. He had written to the Clerk of Penderry Parish Council regarding the procedure of that body with regard to the allotments in his district, but had not had any reply. A good deal of discussion ensued with regard to the purchase of seed potatoes, Mr. Thos. S. Evans pointing out that in years gone by householders were putting no less than 100 drills of potatoes in fields prepared by the farmer. This, he thought, I was to be done away wMi this year, or I at all events it should he, because the farmer had enough work to till his own ground, and there was sufficient other available land in the district that could f)Q had for allotments. It was decided to form a strong commit- tee of 15, together with the chairman, sec- retary and treasurer, to go thoroughly into the question of finding land and se- curing the necessary seeds and other re- I quirements. Addresses bearing upon the welfare of the society and the allotment scheme were given by Councillors W. W Jeremiah, Ben Evans, James Morgan and W. Wil- liams, and Messrs. W. Lloyd, D. Lloyd, and W. Harris. On the recommendation of the latter a large number of members were enrolled. On the motion of Mr. Thos. Mathews. Pen Lan, it was decided that all orders should be executed through the associa- tion, and it was urged upon those do sirous of taking up plots to do so at once. The secretary was further instructed to write Messrs. Richard and Mathews, and Mr. Sam Rees, with the view of them be- coming honorary surveyors to the associa- tion. I MANSELTON, A largely-attended meeting of the Man- aelton Ailotment Society was held at Mount Calvary Schoolroom on Tuesday evening. The chair was taken by Mr. E. M. Lovell, chairman of the society. The secretary (Mr. Pember) submitted a report, and Mr. Saunders, of the Borough Estate Office, explained the scheme and gave the result of negotiations for land. Councillor W. Morris made a detailed statement of the Council scheme for pro- viding the plot-holders with seed potatoes. Questions were raised, and a resolution passed as to fencing. A ballot was also taken for the position of the plots.

OLDER MEN TO GO.
OLDER MEN TO GO. Revised List of Reserved Occupations. A new list of certified occupatioris was issued on Tuesday for the guidance of tribunals. It considerably reduces the number of men entitled to claim exemp- tion. One alteration which affects men in all certified trades is as follows:- Men under the age limits stated in the list who are classed in category Bl, gar- rison duty abroad, are no longer entitled to be treated as in a certified occupation, as they were under previous lists. Some occupations are altogether combed out of the lists. The list specifies seventeen classes of singie men and 102 classes of. married men in wh.h the age limit is raised, generally by a few years. An unmarried baker must be thirty-three, instead of thirty, to be entitled to exemption. Married engine- men, stokers, electricians, mechanics, and titters may be taken up to the age of twenty-seven, instead of twenty-five. The list is prefaced by the following significant warning:— Another list will be issued in a few weeks,, in which the reservations will be reduced by a further raising of the age limits, especially in the trades not mainly engaged on Government work. Employers in certified trades should therefore take such steps as are practic- able to reorganise their staffs. by substi- tution or dilution, with a view to being prepared to release more men of military age and fitness for the Army. r
FIRE AT DRURY LANE.
FIRE AT DRURY LANE. A fire broke out at Drnry Lane Theatre in the early hours of Tuesday morning, but, happily, it was not of a serious character. Mr. Taylor, general manager for Mr Arthur Collins, informed a press representative that the fire, wae discovered about 2.30 ajn. in the prompt, side wardrobe, but was rapidly 6ubdaed -• by the fire brigade, and that the damage to stage dresses would not in the least interfere with the ran of the pantomime. The alarm was given at 2.S9, and in re- sponse to a district call engines arrived from various parts of London in rapid succession; and what at first was feared would pr6ve a disastrous outbreak was soon got under control, but not before the fire had extended to the roof, part of which was burned. In the official report it is stated that the cause of the fire is not known.
THE SALARIES OF TEACHERS
THE SALARIES OF TEACHERS In a statement on the supply and salaries of teachers, sent us by Sir James Yoxall, M.P., is the following:—Unrest among teachers is becoming openly grave. The plain, blunt, eloquent letters S a. d. express the situation; teachers are deter* mined to demand omelioration of the suf- ferings caused them through £ o. d. The war, and its prolongation have brought wealth to many thousands in the oonunuc nit" and better wages to many millions. To teachers nothing in that respect has come, but the contrary-anxiety, privai' tion, poverty, and, in some eases, abso- lute want. At a period when women untrained for any avocation are earning money every- where for the I first time, by default of available men, the pay of women teachers has stood at its former level. Among men teachers 40 per cent. of the head maeterp and 50 per cent. of the clase teachers are receiving less than B150 a year. Puddlere and mechanics are making ae much in a week as these teachers do h a month; boys of 14 are earning as much as eome certificated teachers. Teachers are busy as honorary secretaries of war savinre aa- sociatione, garnering in for the nation the surplus of wages two or three-tinim as much as the teachers can pay. These discrepanciee eannof rightly COD- tinpe; they ought to come to an end. If teachers act collectively and energetically they will.
