Re the No. 3 Ward Election.
Re the No. 3 Ward Election. To the Editor of the Rhondda Leadtr. Sir,—I beg leave to draw attention to one or two matters connected with the report in your last issue under the head- ing, Pentre Bye-Election." It is com- mented therein that there were several reasons for the defeat of the Labour can- didate, one being lack of sympathy and co-operation between the Progressive forces. Public meetings were held which were open to all who felt inclined to support the Labour candidate, and it is a strange fact that of the section called" Progres sive," none made their appearance to show where lay their sympathy. At the first of the meetings held at the Pentre district, the local committee was chosen, which had the care of working and can- vassing the district; and it is significant that of the" Progressives" named to act thereon, hardly one gave a helping hand. Doubtless, these and similar tactics called forth the condemnation of Coun- cillor Tom Evans, when he spoke of the dog in the manger policy." jp With regard to the bad çeneralship," I presume this has reference to the non- committal nature of the invitation ex- tended by the Pentre Trades and Labour Council on Monday, February 14th, 1910, to the Young Wales Liberal and Labour League at its own (the League's) in- stigation to all progressive persons to take part in the contest. This seems to have been good generalship when one considers the interesting proposal con- tained in the reply of the League re- ceived by the Secretary of the Labour Council next day (Tuesday). Much convenient apprehension seems to have prevailed during the election among the Progressives as to the complexion and colour of the Labour Council, but let there be no alarm, the Council is but a federation of Trade Unions and Labour organisations, having for its object the furtherance of the interests! of Labour, pure and simple, as apart from any poli- tical colouring; or, in other words, is but a federation of workers banded together, having a turn in looking after their own interests and welfare, instead of leaving it to others, as has too long been the case. —Yours faithfully, Ton. I. T. REES. To the Editor of the Rhondda Leader. Sir,—Councillor Thomas Harris' ill- natured remarks which appeared in the "Leader" of February 19th, that there are no intelligent men outside the Union, leads many of us to believe that he must have borrowed his own intelligence from those men he accredits: with the share belonging to those outside the Union. It may interest him to know the best work- men and the most intelligent men are outside the Union. It certainly was not the views of intelligent men which was put before the Council. When we have a grievance, we are quite capable of put- ting it before, the Council without paying someone else to do so. Why should the intelligent men be ruled by their inferiors, simply because the latter have a majority of one or two? I should like Mr. Harris to make the acquaintance of those intelli- gent men who are intelligent enough to turn about 75 per cent. of the funds to a working account, or, rather, to their own pockets. He will see the intelligence written large upon their faces; he may even smell it. My opinion is that it is robbery for some men to be paid fifty shillings or more per week from funds where many men who have helped to pay them would not average twenty shillings per week with hard manual labour, rain, dirt and much discomfort thrown into the bargain. Trusting you will give this due prominence.—I remain, AN OUTSIDER. To the Editor of the Rhondda Leader. I Sir,—More than one local musician, with no right to do so, have for a num- her of years been appending to their names the title A.Mus.T.C.L." If thev do not discontinue the practice, it will be somecftie's painful duty shortly to ex- pose them. Whatever be the value of the above title, there is in the Rhondda but one person who has obtained it—Mr. J. R. Lewis, Ferndale. This may be verified by anyone who cares to consult the Calendar for Trinity College of Music, London, 1910."—Yours truly, LOOKER-ON.

Gelli. On Saturday evening last, at Duffryn (C.M.) Chapel, a splendid miscellaneous concert was held under the auspices of the Young People's Society. There was a very satisfactory attendance. Mr. Thos. Evans (Stanley Road) presided. The Young Cambria Glee Singers gave selec- tions under the conductorship of Mr. J. R. Jones. The artistes included:—Mr. Maldwyn Lewis, Nantymoel (euphonium- ist) (prize winner and medallist); Mr. Thomas Lewis, Nantymoel (penillion singer) the Misses M. M. Williams and M. L. Griffiths, Pentre (sopranos); Miss Bessie Davies (contralto): Messrs. David Evans, Pentre, and Dd. Hughes, Ystrad- Rhondda, (tenors); Mr. J. R. Jones, Pentre (baritone); and Mr. Evan Evans, Pentre (bass). Recitations were given by Miss Myfanwy Jones and Mr. D. J. Evans, Pentre. A dialogue, entitled Jephtha and Daughter," was very well performed by Mr. Lewis Thomas and Miss Ellen Evans. The accompanists were Miss Bessie Davies and Mr. James Thomas. Above we reproduce. a photo of Mr. Homer, fruiterer, Pentre, the winner of three first prizes at the Pentre, Tony- pandy, and Pontypridd Skating Rinks. Mr. Homer's "costume" is decidedly unique, being a representation of a bride and bridegroom. Our reproduction is from a flashlight photo taken by Messrs. Harrison and Evans, photographers, Tonypandy.

Pentre.
Pentre. The Amateur Dramatic Society of the Church Lads' Brigade gave a dramatic entertainment on Monday evening, the object being to strengthen the 1910 Camp Fund of the St. Peter's Company, The programme was an extensive and varied one, and Mrs. David Jones proved herself an able accompanist throughout. The celebration of St. David's Day in this neighbourhood was on the whole very quiet but sincere. At several church and chapel meetings, references were made to the splendid lofty ideal which St. David had in mind, as well as his own excellent character. The first. venture of the Ton Co- operative Choir in a new direction has proved a great success. The choir has had but a brief existence as yet, but has already a praiseworthy record which will be improved upon from time to time. The operatic cantata, Phyllis, the Farmer's Daughter," was an extremely suitable one for the purpose and just within the scope of such a choir. The choruses, taken as a whole, were very well ren- dered—the sopranos, being slightly the best section, while the tenors were rather too few and weak. The conductor, Mr. W. Davies, Ton, deserves great credit for his excellent work in connection with the concerts. The princinal characters were well represented. Phyllis," the seven- teen-year-old daughter, was acted by Miss Nana, Jones (Pentre) in a realistic manner, except that one missed the silky golden head. Her songs were rendered in capital style. Miss Margaret Jones (Gelli) took the part of Margaret (the farmer's adopted daughter). Her contralto voice was heard to great advantage in several solos, especially A Little Silky Golden Head." Mr. Noah Evans was a typical farmer, representing Farmer Meadows —his speeches and vocal work being of a high standard. As Douglas," the coun- try wooer of Phyllis, one must praise Mr. Joe Jones (Ton), although one sym- pathises with him that his nervousness occasionally caused some lines to be inter- changed. He possesses a very sweet tenor voice with natural production. The char- acter who caused endless amusement was I Cl-iapleigh, from London." The part of a city dandy could not have been better acted than by Mr. Wm. John Davies, the well-known baritone. Needless to say, his solos drew forth loud applause. The accompanists, Messrs. W. J. Price and Oscar Bundy, also deserve a share of praise for their excellent work. The Drill Hall was full each evening, and the secretary and committee had made excel- lent arrangements. Mr. Pugh (manager) was chairman on Thursday evening, while Mr. D. J. Smith presided on Satur- day evening. A sale if work was held at St. Peter's Church Schoolroom on Thursday evening in connection with the Ladies' Home Mission. The secretary, Miss Edwards, Brynmafonydd, had prepared a tempting collection of nice articles, very much varied in nature: but the fancy work accomplished by local ladies was admitted by others than a mere man to be far superior to that received from elsewhere. There was a good demand during the sale and a fair sum of money should be realised as profit. In addition to the sale of work, rifle shooting was a popular attraction, while fortune telling was equally successful. A whist drive and dance in connection with the staff of Pentre. Schools was held on Friday evening. There was a very good attendance. Mr. Sidney Davies was organiser of the whist drive, and Mr. E. Pritchard was M.C. for the dancing which followed. Mr. R. Rowlands (Pentre) accompanied. Special week-end services were con- ducted at the Salvation Army Barracks on Saturday evening and Sunday by Major and Mrs. Brown. The meetings on both days were well attended and much appreciated. On Sunday after- noon, Mrs, Brown gave a lecture on "Salvation Work in Slum Districts." Anniversary services were held at Bethel (English Methodist) Chapel on Sunday last, when Mr. R. Smith, of Blackwood, gave excellent sermons and addresses. Choice miscellaneous items were also given by members of the Sun- day School. A tea was given to the Sun- day School children on Monday afternoon, which proved very successful. In the evening, a service of song, entitled A Minister's Hymn," was given, the reader being the Rev. J. J. Hodson, M.A. The choir was under the able conductorship of Mr. D. Brinn, while Mr. T. J. Jones was a splendid accompanist. Councillor Walter Williams presided. The funeral of the late Mr. Thomas Jones, 4, Ash Grove, Pentre, took place on Saturday, the 19th ult., at Treorchy Cemetery. The Rev. Daniel Davies, the pastor of Nazareth, officiated at the house and graveside. The mourners were: — Mrs. Jane Jones (widow); Mr. Lewis Jones (son); Miss Mary Ann Jones (daughters); Mr. Llewellyn Jones. Llan- rwst, North Wales (brother);, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Jones, Rhyl (brother and sister-in-law) Messrs. John and Richard Jones, Caersws, North Wales (brothers- in-law): Mr. and Mrs. Richard Andrews, Gelli (brother-in-law and sister-in-law) Mr. and Mrs, Thomas Williams, Cwmparc (brother-in-law and sister-in-law); Mr. and Mrs. John Andrews, Pentre (brother- in-law and sister-in-law) Mr. and Mrs. Richard Jones, Pentre (brother-in-law and sister-in-law); Mr. and Mrs. David Jones, Pentre (brother-in-law and sister-in-law); Mr. and Mrs. Tom Jones, Pentre (brother- in-law and sister-in-law). The under- takers were Messrs. Howell Williams and Son, Ystrad-Rhondda.

Maesteg. Accident.—On Friday (last week), Bertie Hay, of Railway Terrace, NantyffyIloll, met with an accident at the Caerau Col- liery whilst following his occupation as a haulier. It appears that he was shift- ing a tram from one of the stalls, when his hand got jammed between the tram and the bar. On Saturday, Dr. Harris found it necessary to amputate some of the fingers. Funeral.—The funeral of the late Mrs. Martha Thomas, of Gelli Street, Caerau, took place on Tuesday last, and was largely attended. The interment took place at the Maesteg Cemetery, the Rev. T.

Porth. With deep regret we record the death of Mr. Christopher Thomas, aged 21, the second son of Mr. and Mrs. Dd. Thomas, 17, Cemetery Road, Porth. which took place on Sunday, the 20th ult. Deceased had been ailing for a considerable period, but maintained a cheery disposi- tion, which quite deceived his many friends as to his state of health, and his premature death came as a great shock to his relatives and friends alike. The funeral, which was for gentlemen only, took place on Thursday afternoon, and the large number of friends present testi- fied to the esteem in which deceased was held in the locality. Among the mourners following the corpse were:—Mr. David Thomas (father); Mr. Fred Thomas (brother); Mr. Ivor Thomas (brother); Mr. Thomas Thomas (uncle); and Mr. Arthur Thomas, Bridgend (nephew). The following sent floral tributes: —The family; Mr. David Jenkins and family, Timber Yard; the Staff (Messrs. C. Jenkins and Sons); Mr. and Mrs. E. M.

The coffin was of solid oak, with massive silver trappings. The officiating ministers were the Revs. Wm. Thomas (vicar) and R. E. Salmon. The interment took place at Llethrddu Cemetery, and the funeral arrangements were carried out by Mr. J. Williams, undertaker, Porth.

Re the No. 3 Ward Election.
The Workers' Educational Association. To the Editor of the Rhondda Leader. Sir,—The valuable letters that have appeared in the last two issues of the Rhondda Leader re the above, "touch the point." Although we do not desire too many organisations-as that tends to weaken our energies for any good work— in a centre like the Rhondda Valley, with different Societies, &c., working with splendid energy, but often quite oblivious of the work of another only a mile or r two away, it is evident that great advan- tage would accrue to the public at large if in a measure, and gradually as circum- stances permit, the whole could be unified throughout the Valley. When a good lecturer is brought from a distance, it is a pity that he should return after delivering his lecture only once, while the same lecturer could be of service at Ferndale and Porth and Tony- pandy or Pentre before returning: and we could work in unison with Cardiff to get visits from well-known lecturers, and that with economy and efficiency. Let a beginning be made on a district, say, from Ystrad to Treherbert, and from Ystrad to Penygraig, and Penygraig and Trealaw to Porth; and let every organ- isation be in close touch with the officers of this Association, and no doubt we 7 could get a visit from Prof. Mackenzie, Cardiff, to inaugurate the new branch. Set about giving it a good start.—Yours truly, E. W. DA VIES. To (( Well-Wisher.Your letter is too much of an advertisement of individuals to appear in our Correspondence Columns. —Ed., R.L."
