Miss i Elsie Jar. s. Tve s'udents served in the! American army during the war and they have.i. on several occasions expressed their apprecia- tion of he courteous manner in which they have -been received in Wales. They are parti- cularly anxicus to dispel any notion that they hold the opinion that "their services won the war for the Allies, and it is at the personal reques of one of their number tha> the poem is inserted.

EASTER ON THE ALLOTMENTS.—The fine weather on Good Friday and Easter Tuesday released allotment holders for work on their plots like a lot of children from school and a good deal of work was done to make up for delay in get ing in the crops by the long spell of dry weather. The allotments near Graig- goch, on the Buarth, and at Gerddi Dol (nee Domen Dre) present a tidy and well cultiva ted appearance. Owing to the want of drainage and the consequent sodden condition of the soil, work is a- ill behind hand at Cae Bach, except on some of the plots which are higher a.nd drier. One holder has raised his plot two or three feet by some fifty loads of rubbish. During the wer. wea her the roots of green stuffs on other plots have rotted away and the holders seem disheartened in doing anything fur her with the plots this year. On Caergog slope two or three holders have got crops in; but in the majority of cases much work re- mains to be done and the same remark applifes to the allocnenta adjoining the National Library. Great difficulty has been experienced this year in securing manure and when secured of getting it carted on to the upper plots. EoWAitD Y GLO.-A correspondent writes: —Many like myself have missed during the past fortnight one of the most tamiliar figures in the town. I refer to Edward Jenkins, or, as he was known best, "Edward y Glo." For many years Edward has served the housewives of Aberystwyth fa: hfully and well by carry- ing coal trom the station when nobody else was available. With a little trolley, as old and as rickety as h m:elf, and which seemed a part of him, Edward was always on :.he road. Winter and summer, in snow and in sunshine, he pushed the little trolley along muttering strangely to himself. And ^s terms were modest. A penny for a half hundred weigh" was his charge; but kind patrons placed more value on his services. Others, alas, did not. But Edward never complained; he knew not of the modern workman's rights. Of late he had grown very feeble, too feeble even to lift his weary worn feet from the ground, and one day-tlie last he was seen on the road--I noticed that he was too weak to even slither his feei more than a few inches at a time. And he was also half blind. How he could find his way about was a mystery; he mus'. have been guided by instinct. Now his,daily toil is over, he has found rest and refuge in the Workhouse where many an honest toiler has ended his days. Many people took him to be much older than he was. Some time ago I asked him his age. He could not tell me, "but," he said, "I was born at the old Wind- mill-court the year Queen Victoria was crowned." He was therefore eighty-two years of age. Hard work was his loS from childhood. One of his earliest occupations was carrying water from the sea to houses on the Terrace for visitors to bathe their feet. La er he was employed as coal carrier by Mr. Peter Jones. He took a great interest in religious masters, and in h's earlier days used to attend preach- ing meetings far and near. A journey of ten miles was nothing LO Edward if there was a good preacher at the other end. He was a member of Bethel Baptist Chapel and hardly- eve." missed a Sunday service. He was bap- tised in the Rheidol, not far from ".he place Vie was born. May he have years of rest after his hard toil. ATATETR OPERATIC P-OCIETY.—Aberyst wyth Amateur Opera lie Society will give a p .rformarce of The Geisha" next week for thres nights, commencing Wednesday, April 30th. Our reid,s are reminded of the pre- vi us excellont productions given by th;s Society, ard w", are sure that a tre-it is in store for them this time.

A RECORD EASTER.
A RECORD EASTER. In the opinion of some of the oldest inhabi- tants the number of ^visitors to AbetystwyiJn during Easter was a record. After a week of cold and rainy weather, Good Friday brought a pleasing change. A dull and downcast morning developed in'o a sunny afternoon, and the visitors that had braved Thursday's downpour had the satisfaction of spending a real summer day by the sea. After mid-day moor cars and bicycles began to pour into the town-a welcome change after years of absence—and the garages became busy. In the evening they came in increased numbers, and far into the nighfe their hooters were heard. Saturday broke fine, not so mild 6 as Friday, but with a crisp breeze that brought exhilaration. More motor cars came and in the evening the garages were full. The trains also brought large numbers of visitors, more than had been the case at Easter for many years. Sunday was fine, but with a cold snap in the air. From morning till night tkbe Promenade was alive with people and despite the crisp breeze a few were bold enough to bath6. Motor cars kept coming, and in the evening they were to be seen in rows in front of the prin-, cipal garages. Monday again was fine, but with the cold breeze of Sunday. Hundreds of people, mostly day visitors, came by train, and the streets and Promenade reminded one of an August crush. Boating was in full swing. The bulk of the visitors came by motors, and among he cars could be seen hackneys from Birmingham, and other cities. According to the principal garage proprietors the number of cars was a record. That, no doubt, was due to the high railway fares and a desire for motor- ing after years of prohibition. As is always the case at Easter the hotels received the largest number of patrons, and the proprietors were more than satisfied as the following statement made to our representative provas. Mr W. H. Jervis, Queen's Hotel:—We have had an exceptionally busy time with a full house, so fu#, indeed, that we have had to ",urn many people away and refuse numerous appli- cations for rooms. Mr Lord, The Hydro: A very good Easter, absolutely a record, Indeed it could not be better. I have been told by well-known in- habitants that there has been nothing like rj for thirty years. Councillor Rufus Williams, Lion Hotel: There has been nothing like it within my memory. If the hotel were three times bigger it would not have been big enough to accom- modate all the people that have sought rooms here. In my-opinion Aberystwyth has not been so well patronised at Easter for twenty years, and to me it is a sign of a successful season. Other hotel proprietors bore similar testi- mony to the record rush of visitors. Places of entertainment had prepared well for the people. The Elysian Grove wab a great attraction especially on Monday and no doub, it will become a favourite haunt for old and young during the season. The lessee, a dis- charged soldier, opened the Grove free of charge to discharged men who visited 'he town to attend a conference during the week. The Cinema and the Coliseum also had their share of patrons, but visitors, as a rule, prefer out- door entertainments, and the playing of the Town Band on the Promenade every evening has been much appreciated.
