Why Aberdare is Firm.
Why Aberdare is Firm. After reading this generous and en- couraging report from Mr George, those who have the misfortune to suffer as he did will naturally long to get similar relief. But to get the same good as Mr. George had, you must get the same pills. The fact that Doan's backache kidney pills helped our neighbour is no proof that any other backache and kid- ney pills will help you, for there are no other backache kidney pills the same as Doan's. That is why Aberdare people are firm, and mean what they say when they ask for Doan's pills. Mr D. T. George, of 78 Jubilee Road, near the Bethany Congregational Chapel, Godreaman, Aberdare, says:— I get a lot of bending to do under- ground as a collier, and it is very try- ing to the back. I was subject to heavy, dragging pains in my back and loins sometimes; I could hardly straighten myself after stooping, and I found a difficulty in bending. No doubt the kidneys were affected, for the water was disordered, and pain- ful. I had fead of Doan's backache kid- ney pills, and I thought I would try them, as I had failed to get relief from other treatment. Doan's pills proved very effective. I took a course of them, and in time my back was strong and free of pain, and the urinary system was cleansed. "I have great faith in Doan's pills, and I have often recommended them. (Signed) D. T. George." Price 2/9 a box, 6 boxes 13/9; of all dealers, or from Foster-McClellan Co., 8 Wells St., Oxford St., London, W.

County Council Inquiry at…
County Council Inquiry at Aberdare. The Claims of Aberaman Ward. At the Town Hall, Aberdare, on Mon- day, an enquiry was held by the Glamorgan County Council into the Dis- trict Council's application for an in- crease in the number of Councillors from 20 to 27. The County Council's representatives were Aldermen W. 11. Davies, Pontypridd; John .Jordan, Llansamlet; and Morgan Williams, Porth. The following District Coun- cillors were present: Messrs. W. Thomas (Chairman of Council), T. Wal- ter Williams, D. J. Thomas, E. Stone- lake, A P. Jones, D. E. Davies, L. N. Williams, with Messrs. D. LI. Griffiths, clerk; A. Wat-kins, deputy clerk; H. T. Goldsworthy, accountant; O. Williams, surveyor; T. Botting, Director of Edu- cation; A. J. Abraham, tramways manager. Also Mr W. E. Allen, de- puty clerk to the County Council. Aid. W. R. Davies was in the chair. The Clerk to the Aberdare Council stated that the application was for one member each for the Llwydcoed, Gad- lys, Town and Blaengwawr Wards, and three for the Aberaman Wards. The Clerk enumerated the grounds on which the District Council based their appli- cation as follows:—(1) Increase in the ratable value of the district; (2) in- crease and prospective increase of houses in the district; (3) excessive population of the Aberaman Ward; (4) prospective increase of houses in the same ward; (5) the many undertakings of the Council; (6) increase of work under the Education Act. It was stated at this juncture that the Aberdare and District Chamber of Trade, represented by Mr E. Howells Evans, secretary, and the Aberdare and District Ratepayers' Association, repre- sented by Mr T. W. Griffiths, secretary, were opposing the application. Mr Evans submitted a resolution passed by the Chamber of Trade requesting the County Council not to grant increased representation, but in the event of that body maintaining that an increase was desirable the Chamber would request that only one additional member per ward be granted. Mr T. W. Griffiths also forwarded a resolution to the same effect passed by the Ratepayers' Associ- ation and signed by the President. Mr Owen Williams, Surveyor, gave statistics showing that the total num- ber of houses in the district in 1894 numbered 7,835; in 1904 they numbered 9,138, and in March, 1914, they were 10,737. In addition to the above, plans for 320 houses within the district had been approved of, the great majority of which were now in course of erection. This made a total of 11,057 houses, or an increase since 1903 of 1,919 houses. Provision was thereby made for a popu- lation of 55,285, at the average of 5 per- sons per house. He estimated that in the course of the next five or six years Aberdare would have about 12,000 houses, and a population of about 60,000. Mr. Goldsworthy stated that the rat- able value of Aberdare in 1894 was £ 158,256. In 1903 it was PIS4,814 15s. In March, 1914, it was E194,188 15s. Mr T. Botting, B.Sc., Director of Education, gave the average attend- ance at the Aberdare Schools, and the cost of education locally. He said that the erection of garden cities at Abercwmboi and Llwydcoed would ne- cessitate the building of new schools, and the schools at Cwmbach, Roberts- town, Blaengwawr, and Aberaman would have to be reconstructed in the near future. Mr R. H. Miles, president of the Aberdare Ratepayers' Association, said that the Association would not agree to a larger representation of No. V. Ward. He considered that a re-division of the wards would be a better alternative. The Chairman explained that the En- quiry Committee had no power to grant that. In reply to Mr T. W. Griffiths, Mr Miles expressed his belief that if Cwm- aman were made a separate ward it would be a convenience. Population should form the basis of representation. Mr R. L. Berry, on behalf of the Chamber of Trade, considered that Aberdare had already sufficient repre- sentatives if they would only attend. He considered that 20 Councillors would do the work of the Council as efficiently as 27. The increase in Coun- cil undertakings entailed more labour, but it devolved mainly on the officials, not the Councillors. It was true that he, when a member of the Council, had voted for increasing the number of members from 15 to 20, but that was in view of the administration of the new Education Act. Mr G. Cooke, Deputy Clerk to the Merthyr Board of Guardians, having supported the application on behalf of that body, Mr. W. R. Davies stated that he and his colleagues would confer and present their report in due course. On behalf of the Council Mr W. Thomas expressed thanks to the three gentlemen for attending. In addition to those already men- tioned there were present: Messrs. A. E. Harmston, president of the Chamber of Trade; C. R. Vicary, ex-president; J. Isaac, vice-president of the Rate- payers' Association; J. Berry, and County Councillor G. A. Treharne.
Newsagents' Association.
Newsagents' Association. On Tuesday afternoon the Aberdare Valley Newsagents' Association met at the Railway Coffee Tavern, Aberdare. At the invitation of the President (Mr M. Parr) the chair was occupied by Mr J H. James (Dowlais), who expressed his delight at meeting those assembled, and extended the greetings of the Mer- thyr Valley Newsagents' Association, of which he is the energetic secretary and organizer. It was decided to appoint a Picture Postcard Censorship Com- mittee for the Aberdare District area, consisting of Messrs. Gwyddonwy Evans, Edward Parr, W. Cable, and H. Jones (Hirwain). together with the offi- cials of the Asociation. Mr. Evans (Gadlys) gave a report of the Federation meeting at Pontypridd. and announced that the Federation Plates would soon be ready and supplied to members of good financial standing. The deputa- tion to Hirwain gave their report, which settled the business satisfactorily to all persons involved.—Messrs T. J. Norman (secretary) and John Powell, Penrhiwceiber, were appointed dele- gates to the federation meeting. One new member was enrolled. —. )

Mountain Ash Education Committee.
Mountain Ash Education Committee. The annual meeting of the above was held on Tuesday afternoon. Mr Thos. Jones was appointed chairman pro. tem., and the other members present were: Mrs. W. G. Williams, Messrs. W. Davies, J. Powell, G. H. Hall, ('has. Maddox James Evans, Evan Morris, T. W. Jones, Noah Bowles, Griffith Evans, W. Millar, p. Rogers, Capt. G. A. Evans, with Mr Alfred Morgan (director) and Mr. Salusbury Roberts (assistant director). Election of Chairman. Mr. Griffith Evans proposed, and Mr James Evans seconded, that the vice- chairman, Mr G. H. Hall, be elected chairman. Mr. Hall then took the chair and thanked the members for their unanimous vote. He realised the re- sponsibility attached to that important office. They could pride themselves on the fact that their committee was one of the most progressive authorities in South Wales. He trusted that with the help of the members the work would be carried on as pleasant and as suc- cessful as it had been in the past. He had now great pleasure in moving a vote of thanks to Mr W. Lamburn for his work as chairman during the past year. Unfortunately, Mr. Lamburn had not been able to attend very regu- larly owing to illness. They all de- plored Mr. Lamburn's illness. When he did attend he performed his duties to the satisfaction of almost every member, if not actually every member of the committee. It was their unani- mous wish that Mr Lamburn would soon be completely restored to health. Mr D. Rogers seconded the vote of thanks, adding that Mr Lamburn had given satisfaction to every member. He held Mr Lamburn in the highest es- teem and he regretted his illness very much. Mr Thomas Jones associated himself with the remarks of the chairman and Mr Rogers. Mr T. W. Jones, Mr E. Morris, and Mr Griffith Evans supported. While the latter was speaking, Mr Lamburn entered the room and received a hearty ovasion. He briefly replied to the vote of thanks. Vice-Chairman. Mr T. W. Jones said that one or two years ago Mr Bruce Jones was too busy to undertake the duties of chair- man. Failing Mr. Jones now, he moved that Mr E. Morris be elected vice-chairman. Capt. G. A. Evans seconded. Mr. J. Powell suggested that Mr. Jones be asked, first of all, whether he would allow himself to be elected.— This course was agreed to. Committees.—All the committee were re-elected, the Requisition Committee being composed of all the members of the Education Committee. Headmaster's Application. • Mr W. Ellis Thomas, Newtown Schools, wrote asking the committee to reconsider his salary. He pointed out that his salary would be the same if he had remained an assistant. Capt. Evans: Is he not entitled to an increment according to our regulations? The Director replied that he had been paid strictly in accordance with the regulations. Mr Thomas' claim for consideration now was on the same basis as two head-mistresses made a claim some time ago. In their case JE5 increment was granted. Major Gray remarked that that should teach them not to break a rule. As sure as they would open a door for one person, other persons would seek the same privilege. On the motion of Capt. Evans the Director was asked to report as to how many were similarly circumstanced as Mr. Thomas. R.C. School.-Miss Frances Shean, of the Mountain Ash R.C. School, sent in her resignation. The Director re- marked that probably Father Irvine would advertise. Mr Rogers said there was no difficulty at Treforest R.C. School, where teachers who were not Roman Catholic, were accepted. Leave of Absence.—The Secretary of a Choir at Abercynon wrote asking the committee to grant leave of absence to five teachers to attend a rehearsal. Mr T. W. Jones moved that the re- quest be granted.—Capt. Evans said they should have a report as to whether the absence of those teachers would affect the organisation of the school. He moved that the request be granted if their absence would not disorganise the school.—This motion was carried. Resignations. Miss Lettice Wil- liams, Duffryn Home Making Centre; Percy Griffiths, Mountain Ash. The latter stated that he had accepted a post under the Y.M.C.A. Sunday School Day. The Free Church Council, Abercynon, wrote that their demonstration day would be on July 22nd, and they asked the commit- tee to declare a holiday for that day.- On the motion of Mr Maddox it was re- solved to close the schools on that day. -Mr Rogers remarked that the Ynysy- bwl Chapels would arrange to hold their demonstration on one day, so that the attendances at the day schools need not be affected needlessly. Mr Thomas Jones said he had done his best to get the Penrhiwceiber Churches to hold their demonstrations in Whit week, but only three had agreed, so far. Stammering Class. The Director having been asked to make enquiries as to whether boys and girls who suffer- ed from stammering had been perman- ently benefited by attending Mr. Yearsley's classes, now presented his report. Mr. Yearsley himself had sent in a lengthy letter giving particulars of his experience in South Africa and other places. One education authori- ty in England wrote that the effect of Ir. Yearsley's method would be per- manent if the pupils continued the treatment after the classes had ceased. -NI, ij o r Gray remarked that they were not justified in spending money in this direction. Stammering might be tem- porarily cured but the sufferers invar- iably went back to their former state.— Capt. Evans moved that nothing be done for the present.—This course was agreed to. Paid.—The Director wanted instruc- tions regarding a debt of 3d. owing by a person in connection with the dental clinic. The man had nine children and none earning besides himself. It was moved that the amount be allowed.—A member: Mind the auditor, Capt. Evans: Here you are. (Handing 3d. to the Director amidst laughter.) 123-d. Damn.—Major Cray and the Beard 2 of Education. There was some discussion concern- ing student teachers, and Major Gray wanted to know whether there was room for a certain number or was room to be found for them. The Director said that H.M. Inspec- tor had been discussing the matter with him. Major Gray replied that he knew what that meant. He didn't care a 2jd. damn for the opinion of the tn- 2 spector. If they had more teachers than they really wanted, the next thing they would hear was of the Board of Education reducing the size of classes in order to make room for them. Mr N. Bowles: I expect the Budget has upset Major Gray. Major Gray: I am not the only one who wishes them in a hot place this morning. Chairman: Don't irritate the Major any further. (Laughter.) Inspecting Schools.-A member from each ward was appointed on a com- mittee to inspect all the schools and re- port upon painting neceesary to be carried out dllring the summer holidays. Discussion arose as to whether they should hire a conveyance to take the members from place to place.—Direc- tor We have a motor charabanc at Mountain Ash now.—Major Gray: That will hold about 16. The members of the committee don't want to take their wives with them, do they? (Laugh- ter.) I propose they NN-alk.Di rector: That is not practicable.—Major Gray: Surely you could walk it in less than a week. (Laughter.)—Finally the Direc- tor was instructed to make arrange- ments for a conveyance. Unknown Words.—One of the items on the agenda was to consider the report of the School Medical Officer and School Dentist for three months. The report contained particulars like the following: "12 cases of conjunctivitis; 11 cases of strabismus; 3 cases of blepharitis; 1 case of corneal opacity.' —Mr Thos. Jones asked whether it was not possible to simplify some of these medical terms.—Mr Rogers: Get a doc- tor's dictionary. (Laughter.)
Territorials at Aberdare.
Territorials at Aberdare. The first Battalion parade of the 5th Welch Regiment of Territorials was held in the Aberdare Park on Satur- day last by permission of the Aberdare District Council, the following Compan- ies comprising the Regiment: A and B Co., Pontypridd (headquarters); C and D Co., Mountain Ash; E Co., Aber- dare; F Co., Treharris; G and H, Mer- thyr.

The total strength on parade was 15 officers and 350 rank and file. The Battalion Band (Merthyr) with Bugles and Drum from Ponty- pridd, accompanied the Regiment to and from the Park. The attendance was all that could be desired for the first parade this season. The C.O. presented Corporal M. Billingham, of the Aberdare Co., with his 12 years' efficiency service medal amidst the cheers of his comrades and congratula- tion of his C.O. The following offi- cers were present: Lieut. Col. M. Mor- gan, in command; Capt. and Adj. T. G. Mathais; Captains Dowdeswell, G. A Evans (Mountain Ash), H. W. Southey (Merthyr); Lieutenants A. O. Mander, T. A. Evans, H. V. Leigh, R. S. Sandbrook, J.

Captain Dowdeswell was the Acting Major for the day.
-------_-Death of former Aberdare…
Death of former Aberdare Priest. The Rev. Canon McLoughlin Hied -it Fishguard on Saturday. Death was the result of a chill caught hy taking off his clerical coat and wrapping it round a navvy whom he found in great agony on the roadside. In his shirt- sleeves the Canon conveyed the sick man to the nearest surgery, which prompt actiom saved the man's life. The rescuer was subsequently confined to bed and succumbed to pneumonia. Nearly 30 years ago the rev. gentle- man was Roman Catholic priest at Aberdare, under the Rev. Father O'Reilly. He was a good all-round athlete, and a thorough Christian gen- tleman. Those who remember him here learn with regret of his sad death.

Aberdare Young Helpers' League.
Aberdare Young Helpers' League. For some years the local branch of the league has heen instrumental in raising £30 per annum towards the maintenance of a Cot for Cripples at Dr. Barnardo's Homes, and this year it was decided to raise the necessary amount by means of an "Advertisement Tea" and an entertainment, which took place at the Memorial Hall, Aberdare, on Thursday, the 30th of April. The preparations were carried out by a ladies committee, with Mrs. Trevor Cory as President; Mrs. Powell, Dany- graig, vice-president; Miss Davies, Ynyslwyd, treasurer; and Miss Keast, Florence Villa, hon. secretary. The names of the other ladies are included in the list of table-holders. It should be mentioned that the committee met frequently during the winter months and prepared a number of garments which were disposed of during the pro- gress of the tea.—The various tables were artistic-ally decorated, and while some of the ladies presiding were con- tent with appearing in ordinary dress, others successfully carried out the idea of representing some well known ad- vertisement. The following ladies pre- sided at the respective tables, and, it may be added, found the necessary re- freshments. namely Mrs. Trevor Cory; Mrs. Powell, Danygraigf Mrs. Miles, the Lady High Constable; Mrs. J. Grif- fiths, Brynhyfryd, and Mrs. J. D. Thomas ("Excelda Handkerchiefs"); Mrs. Rees Davies, Mrs. Reynolds and Miss Hilda Edwards ("Icilina"), Mrs. Owen Williams, Mrs. Botting and Miss Daisy Williams ("Gipsy Black Lead"); Mrs. Emrys Evans and Mrs J. H. James ("Horniman's Tei"): Mrs. Evan Evans ("Sunlight Soap"); Mrs. Notton and Miss Mabel Thomas ("Mazawattee Tea") Miss Theophilus and Miss Gwen- nie Notton ("Puritan Soap"); Mrs. Keast and Miss Uorothy Jones ( Mor- lick's Malted Milk"); Mrs. Edgar Mor- gan and Miss Elsie Perrott; Mrs. Tuck- field, Metropoltian Bank; Mrs. Tre- mellen and Miss Thorney Miss Madge Williams, Caecoed, and Mrs.. Llewelyn Humphries. Mrs. Wylde assisted Mrs. Miles at the long table. The following acted as stall-holders Miss Giles, Miss .Chaff and Miss Churchill, representing "Emrys Evans' Noted Perfume," while Miss Keast as secretary represented "Benger's Food."—The entertainment was in accordance with the following programme Chorus, (a) Drill Song, (b) Farm-yard Song, children; song, Miss Muriel Richards; part song, "Macken- fufan Band," children; song, "The King's Highway," Mr John Jones; pen- illion singing, the Misses Myfanwy and Megan Williams; song, "Come into the garden, Maud," Mr R. Owen; vip- lin solo, "Home sweet home," Miss Olive Bowen (encored); song, "Myfan- wy," Miss Ethel Tuckfield; recitation, Miss Rona Wilson; laughing song, "Eirwyn," Masters Jackie Davies, Kenneth Erricker, Eirwyn Edwards and the children. Song and chorus, "The very worst girl in school," Miss Gertie Williams; harp solo, Master Roger Thomas, Cwmaman; song and chorus, Eight Little Mothers," Miss Bessie Roderick and others; violin solo, Miss Olive Bowen; song, "Little Grey Home," Miss Ethel Tuckfield; song, Mr John Jones; recitation, "The Hin- doo Legend," Miss Elsie Perrott; song, "Tosti's. Good-bye," Mr R. Owen; song, "The Professor," Master Eirwyn Edwards; Scotch dance, eight little girls; song, The Nightingale," Mr R. Owen; song and chorus, Kilkenny Cats," Miss Gertie Williams and chil- dren. It would be invidious to make any comparisons where every item was so well and successfully rendered. Thanks to the kindness and patience of Mr Dan Edwards in training the chil- dren's choir, the little ones acquitted themselves admirablly. The perform- ances of Miss Olive Bowen, of Peny- graig, on the violin delighted the aud- ience. She is an exceptionally clever musician who has won 42 eisteddfodic prizes, and there is no doubt a brilliant future in store for her. Her rendering of "Home sweet home" with variations was quite a treat, and she delighted everybody by her impromptu accom- paniment of Tosti's Good-bye sung by Mr R. Owen, considering that she had never accompanied him before. She is only 11 year of age. At Llanelly Eas- ter Eisteddfod she was highly compli- mented. As a matter of course the little penillion singers, the Misses Myfanwy and Megan Williams, and Mr Roger Thomas, the celebrated harpist and prize winner, immensely pleased their audience. The Scotch Dance exe- cuted by eight girls from the Higher Standard School was a very skilful per- formance and shewed careful training. Young Eirwyn Edwards as "The Pro- fessor" was unusually smart, and he and his companions in the "Laughing Song" took well. Mr R. Owen and Mr John Jones, who very kindly proffered their services, both sang well. Miss Ethel Tuckfield is new to an Aberdare public audience, but she has a good voice and her high notes are exception- ally good, and we ought to hear more of her at future entertainments. Bessie Roderick and the other 'Little Mothers' were very sweet, and Miss Gertie Wil- liams, who did so wonderfully well last year in "Gertie Williams' Band," added to her repute in the two items with which her name is associated as soloist, and more especially in "Kilkenny Cats," which admirably suited her and her little choir. Missl Muriel Richards is a pretty little songster, while Miss Elsie Perrott and Miss Rona Wilson as reciters helped to fill up a most excel- lent programme. Miss Bowen, of Rail- way Cottage, Penygraig, kindly came over to accompany her sister's perform- ances on the violin. Mr R. H. Miles, the High Constable, delivered a short address, and Miss Muriel Ashford, of Warden for Wales in connection with the League, also spoke as to the great phil- anthropic work carried on by the League members on behalf of poor and helpless children. Councillor A. 1. JoneT moved a vote of thanks to all who had contributed towards the success of the tea and entertainment. In addition to the table donors mentioned above donations in money or in kind were re- ceived from: The Hon. L. T. Lewis, The Mardy; Mrs. Trevor Cory; Miss Davies, Ynyslwyd; Mrs. Mander, GJanynys; Mrs. Lazarus, Gadlys; Miss Price, Rose Cottage; Mrs. Gilbert Hodges; and Mrs. Hughes, Boot Hotel. Thanks to the efforts of the Ladies Committee, and to the energy of their hon. secretary. the proceedings were a great success, and it is hoped the amount required for the current year has been fully realised.

--Billiards.
Billiards. The annual billiard competition for the "D. A. Thomas Shield" and Ama- teur Championship of Aberdare Valley was brought to a close on Thursday evening last at the Aberdare Liberal Club. The public showed their keen interest by assembling in very large numbers. No doubt this was partly due to the popularity of the finalists, both being Aberdarians and cueists of no little repute. Mr T. J. Thomas has had the honour of holding the Shield on a previous occasion-for the year 190S. Mr W. G. Mason has several times entered the competition, but unfortun- ately never reached the final. In the opening stages of the game of 500 up Mr Thomas immediately found his form and soon obtained a substantial lead- in fact, before 30 minutes play was up he obtained a lead of over 80. His op- ponent did not play anything like his usual game, and his numerous admirers feared that he was going to be hope- lessly left behind. But after getting I left 103 in arrears, he pulled himself to- gether and with some useful breaks of 25 to 30 he eventually overhauled Thomas in the third hundred. From I then on a ding-dong struggle ensued. First one, then the other got the lead, and Thomas by the aid of a 48 break again got well away with over 60 to I spare. Mason, however, put in some wonderful play, and after passing Thomas again eventually got out the I winner by 51 points. Mr D. E. Davies thereupon presented the Shield to the winner and likewise a gold medal to ¡ commemorate the win; also a cue and II case to Mr T. J. Thomas (presented by Messrs. G. Wright and Co., Billiard Table Makers, London) for being run- ner-up. There were twenty competi- ¡ tors in 11. one from Hirwain, one from Cwmaman, iive from Aberdare, one from Aberaman. one from Abercynon. and the remainder from Mountain Ash and Penrhiwceiber. The late holder, Mr. R. Jones, of Cwmaman, did r.oc compete owing to indisposition.
