REGIMENT OF I PRIESTS.   i '?t'?r Bolshevik Story. Renter's Agency states that accord ing to a telegram from Helaingfors, the Bolshevik organ, Kommuiiar," publishes the following:- On the Eastern front, among the Whito Guard regiments furiously attack- ing the Red Army, the Regiment of, Jesus is prominent. It consists of priests, deacons, and other ecclesiastics. I Clad in robes, stoles, and so forth, they march on with uplifted crosses ajid "ranting prayers, and this has its effectj on the soldiers of the Red Army, mostly uneducated men. These men from far-off country villages retreat before this novel army, not finding strength to resist their mystic fear. They retreat iihout daring to lift a hand, while thé priests march on, earning Ad- miral Koitchak an easy victory. The paper adds that the Communist party is sending its best forces against this r-i-niy.-ilr(-ss Association.

SOCIAL CLUB. Fontardawe Institution Opened The Social Club for the Pontardawe branch of the Discharged and Demobi- j lised Sailors and Soldiers, was opened on Saturday evening by Councillor C. G. Gilbertson, J.P., irt the presence of a good number of pcojd the building is a large one, being the ionises used until som eyears ago as a t uruiture stores by Mr. Dan Harris. Prior to the opening Mr. Gilbert&on was presented with a beautiful key, suitably inscribed, by Mr. D. W. Rees, chairman ci the local branch of the D. and D.8. and S. MR. GILBERTSON. At the meeting which followed Mr. Gil- bertson said ho wa,s glad to see so many Pontardawc vaoplc present, as they were anxious to give the club a good start off, and further to show that they had not forgotten the services rendered by the D. and D.S. and S. during the war. The Club was tangible proof that they were grateful to the men and he sincerely hoped it would be conducted in the same' upright and clean way in which the men had defended the country for them. (Hear, hear). The object of the Club was to have a cheerful and bright meeting place for the men who had spent so much time upon the battleiields, and a place where the men could have social inter- course in peace. Proceeding, Mr. Gilbertson expressed the hope that the Club would be run on proper lines. There would be many young men connected with the club, and he hoped they would as it were set the fashion. He hoped that one rule would be rigidly enforced, and that was that gambling should not be allowed under any condition whatever. Gambling would only help to bring the Club into disre- pute. WOMEN'S SECTION. Mrs. Gilbertson next declared the women's section open. She explained that the object of the section was to dis- cuss any grievances with reference to pensions and allowances. Mrs. J. R. Williams, Rev. Joel Davies (Vicar), Rev. D. G. Jones, Messrs. John lidwards, Wyndham Lewis, Ben Lloyd, and others, spoke. A splendid miscellaneous programme was gone through.
