Mid-Rhondda Musings Disaffection still exists among the Glamorgan Colliery employees. -+-- A meeting of the workmen was held on Monday evening, but the reporters present were asked to leave. Talking of reporters, a good story was told the other day by one of the tribe. Me is the Rhondda representative of a Conservative daily paper, and on Tuesday evening, in the absence of the appointed chairman, ho was asked to preside over a Liberal meeting at It was this gentleman who some years ago sub-edited a Radical weekly and acted as the local correspondent of the organ he is now connected with. One of his friends, rather mystified by this mixing up of connections, asked him one day, "What are your politics, Mr. ]I'm zb Journalist," promptly returned the Pressman. -+-- Representations are being made to the Admiralty that in future C> new warships should be christened with Welsh names. "Teare informed on good authority that no Jack Tar considers his education com- plete until he is able to command a fluency in Welsh swear words. A County gentleman, always thirst- ing after a joke, was evidently amused at seeing a number from each of the various chapels—wise splits and otherwise— meet together recently to hear a popular lecturer, and enquired' waggishly of his friend, "Is this "heaven? for Ave are all here Hia intended prey must have scored heavily, for not a smile crossed the wag's disc when tho prompt reply came: No, this is not heaven! In heaven there are many mansions—a building for each lot there, too! --+- We learn with, pleasure that, after a considerable absence, Mr. Marks Harris has returned to manage the furniture establishment known as The Bristol Fur- nishing Company, Pandy Square.

Penygraig Peps. The Rev. J. O. Evans has had a call to tho pastorate of Soar and Trehil. We hear that he is giving it a most earnest I consideration; --+- A daring motorist recently, in order to escape the mud of Hendrecafn Road, took Lis cart with lightning ispeed along the pavement. Mothers,: beware! or it will fae a case of where-be the children. --+- The singing school at Pisgah Chapel is proving a very great attraction. Many come to hoar the choir practising St. Paul." The prospects of an excellent concert are very promising.. --+- Mr. Augustus Lloyd, son of Mr. R. Lloyd, chemist, has returned from Aus- tralia, after spending many years there. He looks well and intends going hack again,

Pentre Pellets. Now that juvenile smoking is about to be suppressed, wo venture to ask, Can a 1110ther-tsoil '■ a cigar to her offspring? Perhaps one of our friends from the land o' cakes could enlighten us upon this I)urii-rw question. Someone has been" sponging again, for a, local hairdrooser bewails the loss of a dog collar. Were he to advertise the fact, he would doubtless receive many callers," who would deposit a good crop of the missing article. It is rumoured 'locally that a member ef a well-known family intends embark- ing upon a stage career. He evidently thinks that cutting a dash before the lootlights will hint him better than •scraping for a living. i *S, ^"tairJ'y an annoying experience ,0 3-6 taken 011 a tramcar a hundred 01 wo yards beyond your destination v^orrectly speaking, we should say thai this is carrying things too far Tho budding philosopher who, at r Acntro social the other evening made the startling remark that if Moses was the fiort of Pharaoh's daughter, he must have been the daughter of Pharaoh's son," was quite correct. Read his sentence care- fully. We are rather surprised to notice that lentre lacks the loyalty to unfurl the Standard from the flagstaff of her Mansion House, for a member of the Roy all family is invariably found within its chambers. -+- Margaret Ann had spent her "Sunday night out" at the Tivoli, and after wit- nessing the remarkable earthquake film exclaimed Well I never! Don't those earthquakes make an awful house/' --+- Don't forget that dirty windows keep out trade as well as light." There are a few shopkeepers at Pentre who could note this ada,ge to their advantage.

Porth Jottings, We would very respectfully draw the attention of the powers that be to the JiCI T .c ,'so aspect of the lower gate at the Llethrddu Cemetery. We think it manifestly unfair to the public that gates which were placed there for their con- venience are continually closed to them. Most of the interments take place in the area below the entrance to the ceme- tery, and when people have walked from .Wa.ttstown, Tylorstown, Ferndale, and from Trehafod—as is the case nearly every day-it is certainly an injustice that they are enforced to walk nearly three- quarters of a mile further became this gate (that should be the exit) is shut and Jocked. -+-- We trust that this grave" matter will shortly be attended to. Thanks to the unstinted zeal and energy of Dr. R. D. Chalke, M.A., the Porth Harmonic Society are shortly going to perform Stabat Mater and The Last Judgment" at the Park Hall, Cardiff. --+-- This announcement was hailed with delight by the choir on Sunday evening last. There is no reason why Porth and district should not exclaim "Excelsior." --0-- It is gratifying to learn that the recent house-to-house collection to aug- ment the funds of the Dr. Barnardo's Homes has been attended with excellent results. The secretary, Mr. Wm. Evans (Thomas & Evans), has been enabled to hand over zC20 to that noble institution. --+-- The Porth Thursdays are rapidly ac- quiring fame as exponents of the Soccer* game, and are fast setting an enviable record. Inspired with recent successes, they met and thoroughly vanquished Treore-by oii Thursday last. The feature of the game, however, was the remarkable exhibition of clever foot- ball, by Evans, the Porth centre. Roberts and Jones were also very smart at back, their defence being particularly fine. The latest in "adverts." is to be seen in a local chemist's shop window, which reads: Spanish Juice, 2d. per Stick." Probably we shall next hear the milk- man calling out: "Milk! Milk! 2d. a yard," or, perhaps, the butcher: "Pork! 2d. a pint," Any of our readers in search of a real bargain in blankets, quilts and sheets, should not fail to read what Morgan's, 73 and 74, Hannah Street, Porth, are offering.

Treherbert Tags. It seems that we have grocery ojore.s in Ti-el-ierbert where one may purchase cheese which is as strong as a donkey," as expressed by an assistant. We defy them to produce cheese as strong as a goat. What a cop!! 1 -+-- The preceding Tag may be a catch, of the season. Otherwise, influenza is. Then never form your opinion of an egg imtil the lid is off. It may be good. Who aid Sulphuretted Hydrogen? A great French scientist says that fSou1<; will live after death but their expenses will bo next to nothing, as their rhief diet will be sunshine. Those poorls would have starved in Treherbert dutfng the last few weeks. Many things have been lost, stoh^ or strayed in Treherbert of late. A fountain pen and a scarf pin axe still at large. To be quite "frank," we advise the en-Ð: ment of the services of our local Sli Iloli-iies. We know a little girl in Dunravell SiAe-et who wanted the moon the other rd 'i' when she grows up she may only vfant the man in it. Many a man's do >v at nil may be traced to a slip of a girl. --+- ',1 Is it necessary for a. man to know hi- own mind? is a question which troubles many young men in Treherbert. Not if he's married. If he talks pentCth straight, he may be unable to get a Yrd in edge-ways,' -+-- The lamp-post erected by the Rliondda Urban District Council on—shall we scy- the Co-operative Square has made a big improvement in the surroundings.. We have heaps of light-headed" things in Treherbert, but we could do with Vvore of this description. It was rumoured that Treherbert is going to "smash." We ask, •• bh ash whom? for we have also heard thjt it ha.s too much money behind it to a financial" smash." t' Two young men of Treherbert are Jf to try an examination next week c Peter." Curiously enouigh, o, j '•> named James and the other John- W v believe that they ought to kno\' all about him. -+- One may read on the Treherbert Socialists' posters which advertise a lec- ture by Mr. John Penny —" We want- you to <'ome." la this all they require Many Treherbert folk would not give a half-Penny for hearing these lect«re».

Ystrad Yaps. We wonder if "Little Grandma" of Bethel is the recipient of an Old Age Pension. While the" wee fisher lassie" was dis- playing lier wares, a lia.df remarked: "That 'herring" looks as if it wanted an 'airing. --+- Recently two navvies were seen reading the announcement of a sale of work. Aft-er a moment's reflection, one exclaimed "Say, Bill, work's rather plentiful just now; they're even selling it," (Un- employed, please note). --+-- Ave wonder if the inclement weather that prevailed on Wednesday night 'last cooled the at-dour of the Conservatives and Socialists present at Nebo, for neither party responded to the invitation to question Mr. Howes.

mae gan y fath ysbryd gelyniaethus ddangosir yn bur ami ddylanwad an- nymunol ar y myfyrwyr. Gall arferion Sabbothol rhai o Broffeswyr a Llywyddion ein colegau ymclclangos yn foesgar i'r Cyfandir, ond y maent yn ddiamlieu yn sarhad ar Gymru—gwlad sydd wedi arfer bod yn deyrngarol i ddydd Duw. Anffawd ddifrifol i'n colegau a'n gwlad yw fod yna Agnostics honedig ac ymarferoi yn mhlith eu hathrawon. Dylanwada anffyddiaeth athraw yn fawr ar y disgybl ieuanc. Anffyddiaeth athrawon yw athrawon an- ffyddiaeth. Mae dylanwad esiampl yn ffurfiad arferion a chymeriad clisgyblion yn anocheladwy. Llefara bywyd athraw pan y bydd ei dafod yn fud. Nid ydym heb Vybod yr anhawsder yn mhenodiad yr athrawon: nid ydyw Crefydd a Chred yn arfer dyfod i mewn pan wneir hyny. Penodir athrawon yn unig am eu cymhwysderau i gyfranu addysg a gwybod- aeth. Byddai Cymrui yn ddiogel pe celem i'n colegau rai tehyg, mewn dysg a bywyd, mewn diwylliant a duwioldeb, i'r Prif- athraw Dr. Thomas Charles Edwards, neu hafal i'w olynydd anrhydeddus, y Prif- athraw Dr. T. F. Roberts. Yn anffodus, y mae rhai o'n pi-if gadeiriau mewn Athroniaeth a Gwyddoniaeth yn meddiant amheuwyr ac anffyddwyr. Daw torf o'n pobl ieuainc ni o'r colegau wedi mabwys- iadu osgo ac agnosticism eu hathrawon, newyddion, er yn myned yno yn aelodau o eglwysi Cristionogol! Y mae yn ymddangos i ni fod yna wedd arall "hefycl ar bethau sydd yn cyfrif am ymadawiad llawer a'r eglwysi. A ydyw yr eglwysi sydd yn y trefydd lie y mae ein sefydliadau addysgol yn rhoddi v derbyniad a'r croesaw ddylent i'r mvfyrwyr a ddcuant atynt o flwyddyn i fhvyddyn ?
