Our Fallen Heroes HOW WILL CARMARTHEN PERPETUATE THEIR MEMORY? With a glorious Peace in full -view it is time to consider what kind of memorial shall be raised to the gallant boys who have lost their lives in this great struggle. So far as Carmarthen is concerned (and the idea may appeal to other towns), we would suggest that the most suitable form of memorial would be a public or drill hall. Carmarthen has as many public monuments as perhaps it is good for ner to have. The town needs a half badly, and it is about time it was given what it has argued about and attempted to get for so many years past. The fund (amounting to several hundred pounds) which was raised years ago for the purpose of building a drill hall is, we under- stand, still available for that purpose, and would form a substantial neucieus of such a fund. We would suggest the possibility of enclosing a portion of the market place and fitting it out as a modern hall. Around the interior walls the names of the fallen could be emblazoned and remain as a per- manent tribute to the sturdy sacrifice which helped- to save us all from the frightful consequences of a German victory. We feel sure that if the Mayor (Alderman William Evans) will take to the suggestion and start a public fund he will not only establish a permanent tribute to the memory of those brave fellows, but also to his own useful and successful years of office as chief magistrate.

Grismond Thomas, 14, Nott's-square, Carmarthen, pleaded guilty to driving a car through the town on the night of the 30th ult. without a rear light.—P.C. Walters proved the case, which was dismissed on payment of costs. A similar summons was heard against Thos. Jones, Half Moon Hotel, Llandyseul, for driving a motod-car with only one light in the front part of the car. P.C. W. Llewellyn said that he saw defendant drive' his car down Castle-hill at 6.40 p.m. on the 29th ult. Defendant told him that one of his lights had gone out, at Conwil.—A fine of JB1 was imposed.

St. Peter's Church, Carmarthen APPOINTMENT OF ORGANIST. We understand that the vacancy at St. Peter's Church caused by the departure of Mr Harold Malkin to Beverley as organist and i.lastcr there, has been filled by the appointment of Mr. Geo. F. Austen, Mus.Bac., A.R.C.O. Mr. Austen is a fine organist and a sound all-round musician. He was for seven years organist and choir- master of Halifax Cathedral, Canada, where he established a fine record not only InS a Church musician but as a choir and orchestral conductor, and where he was known as one of the finest teachers of music in the Dominions. His departure from there was rendered compulsory owing to the severity of the clinmate, and he left behind him the unanimous goodwill and regrets of a very large community. Mr. usten gained other experience at Axmin- ster, Crediton, and Windsor, where he is at present engaged as organist and choir- master at Holy Trinity Church, and from where he is highly recommended. His lmufiiical activities have included the per- formance of the great oratorios, in which class of work lie takes a particular delight. He is -,il-o a very able teacher of music and in this sense as in others he will prove to Iv an acquisition to the districts Mr. Austen lost his elder son in lhe war and the other remaining one is in the. Navy. He hopes to take up his duties at Carmar- then early in December.

Carmarthenshire Battalion. SUGGESTED CHRISTMAS GIFT, Sir,—I have just received a message from the Officer Commanding the Carmarthen- shire Battalion, 15th Welsh Regiment, in which he expresses a hope that a connection between the county and the battalion be established which should become a tradition in the future. We have reason to be proud of the valour of our men. Since August 23rd the battalion led the Welsh Division in the storming of the Ancre, has been in every action, has itself captured Thiepval, Poiieres Norwal, Highwood, Ginchy, Eti- court, Chateau, Angles, Walincourt. It was the first battalion to lead the assault on the Hindenburg Line, and distinguished itself in many other operations. I reciprocate the wishes of the colonel, and the suggestion has been made to me that the county should send to the battalion a Christmas offering which would be a memento and a slight token of the pride we feel in the prowess pf our men. The battalion at present num- bers 900. If the suggestion meets with your approval, may I ask if you could see your way to open a subscription list towards the cost of sending to each man a small gift from the county, bearing the arms of the county. It would appeal to the man that they are in the thoughts of the Carmarthen- shire people at home. I will gladly sub- scribe £10 10s. towards the fund.-fbelieve me, yours faithfully, JOHN HINDS. In response to the above appeal which we printed in our issue of last week, we are glad to say that the High Sheriff of Car- marthenshire has sent us, through the Lord Lieutenant, a cheque for JB5 5s. towards the proposed fund, and the Lord Lieutenant himself has kindly promised to subscribe. We hope this movement will be taken up with great heartiness by the whole county. This fund must be organised at once if at all. There is plenty of money in the county, and it should be given liberally for such an admirable cause. Subscrip- tions should be addressed to the Editor, and will be acknowledged in the JOURNAL.

Installation of the Mayor STATUTORY MEETING tOF CARMARTHEN TOWN COUNCIL. ) PROTEST AGAINST FOSSILI8ING." Aid. Wm. Evans was at a statutory meeting of the Carmarthen Town Council on Saturday installed as mayor of the town for the second year. Reviewing the work of the past year, the Mayor said: "My year of office as mayor has not been eventful from the standpoint of municipal work and improvements car- ried out. That was due to the war. During the year, the Council have inaugurated a Child Welfare Centre at the Y,M.C.A. This centre was opened by Lady Howard, and I trust that it will be the means of helping to considerably lessen infantile mortality. Most of the duties which have fallen on my shoulders in my official capacity as mayor have been connected with the promotion and organisation of various funds, in order that by this means com- forts, etc., could be provided for our gal- lant men on active service on the various fronts. Foremost among these is the War Savings Association at Carmarthen. I am 1 proud to say this has eminentlv been suc- cessful. This association controls 33 associ- ations and seven official agencies, and during my term of office the following amounts have been contributed towards the national fund:—National War Bonds, L453,955 (nearly JS47 per head of popula- tion) War Savings Certificates: 68,189 £ 1 Certificates (nearly seven Certijficates per head of population); this making the total amount subscribed for the year £ 537,144. Included in this, JSM.715 was. subscribed during Business Men's Week, and £ 200,091 during Tank Week. I cannot pass this matter without expressing to Mr. J. -Howell Davies, the hcnorary secretary, my sincere thanks for the very capable manner in which he carried out the duties of secretary. I should like to mention the good work that has been done through the War Relief Funds. Under the auspices of the Mayor s Relief Fund since the commencement of the war, the magnificent total of nearly :bo,UOO lms been subscribed by the inhabitants or Carmarthen and district. During the past year B725 18s. 8d. has been subscribed to the different funds. These funds have been carefully and wisely administered by a re- presentative committee, and are audited ,quarterly bv the hon. auditors, Mr. J. Richards, Penllwyn-park, and Mr. W. D. Thomas. Upcott, to whom I offer my grate- ful thanks. When I entered my year of office, I found that the Prisoners of War Fund needed immediate and regular sup- port, and I have devoted much time, toge- ther with the secretaries, in putting this -fund on a sound financial basis. It is with feelings of thankfulness that I am able to inform you to-day that during the last 12 months B455 18s. 5d. has been subscribed, in Carmarthen and district towards this fund. and that 16 St. Peter's boys are being kept fully supplied with four parcels of food and bread per month at a cost of about B50 to JB50 month, and that there is every reason for stating, that the prisoners receive the parcels regularly, if one may judge from the grateful acknowledgment received. Car- marthen people have indeed done what they can to look after the needs of their brave lads in Germany. The cost of maintenance of a large number of refugeesytor the last four years has naturally entailed a large sum of money, and here may I be permitted to thank the owner of Rhydygorse, MY. I Brown Edwardes, for his continued kind- ness in giving Rhydygorso to the War Relief Committee rent free, and also to Mr. Chap- man, who lias given his house, 27, Blue- street, during the same period. The com- mittee are very grateful to Mr. Chapman for many kind services rendered to the re- fugees. One hopes and expects that during the next few months the bright day will dawn which will see the return of these exiles to their native land—a day to whicn they are naturally looking forward to with great eagerness. The vegetable Products Department, through the energv of Mr. Collier, assisted by several ladies, have sent consignments of fresh vegetables to the Fleet during the past year which have been greatly appreciated. The Alexandra Rose Day collections in the town and district in aid of the Infirmary amounted to B110 10s. 9d. The organisation of the War Relief Funds entails a large amount of work and labcAir, and I wish to take this opportunilty of expressing my grateful thanks to the honorary secretaries, Mr. T. Bevan Arthur and Mr. Fred Brigstocke, and. also to the hon. sec. of the Belgian Housing Sub-committee, Mr. Ernest Collier, who has done excellent work. Flag days have been a prominent .feature of the past year, and as a result, the sum of £ 600 odd has been obtained for various war funds. In this amount there is a sum of 22W 11s. collected in aid of the Welcome Home Fund, which fund I am pleased to say was started by me. I trust that this amount will be considerably augmented to enable us to give the boys when they return a very hearty reception. I should not leave this topic without making reference to the pleasure which the town has derived during the year from conferring the Freedom of the Borough upon six of our gallant boys who haveJ won distinctions on the field of battle. I felt really proud and glad that we had) such an honour at our disposal as the Free-! dom of the Borough, and such an excellent. means of giving expression to our gratitude. Another interesting event in the year was the distributing of medals to persons em- ployed at munition works who had per- formed such special duties and shown such fidelity and courage as entitled them to distinction. This presentation was made by our very good friend, the Lord-Lieutenant of the county (Mr. John Hinds) at the re- quest of His Majesty the King. I desire to express my thanks to the Town Clerk for the earnest manner in which he has at all times supported me during my year of office. I also extend my thanks to the other officials of the corporation and to the press, whose sympathy and assistance I have never lacked throughout the year. I am especially proud and grateful for the splendid support which has been accorded to me and my wife by the general public of Carmarthen and by the county people. I desire also to extend my thanks to Mr. F. G. Humphreys for the valuable assistance he has rendered me dur- ing the year. In conclusion I desire to thank you, gentlemen, for your support and confidence with which you also have assisted me during my year of office:" RE-ELECTION OF MAYOR. Aid John Lewis, in proposing the re- election of the Mayor, said that Aid. Evans had carried out his duties admirably during the past year. He had devoted his time and energy towards the betterment of the town. Aid. J. B. Arthur, seconding, said they were all agreed that Ald. Evans had car- ried out the duties of his high office in a :nost efficient, eapable, r.nd very satisfac- tory manner. Aid. Arthur hoped he would have health and strength to -arry out his iduties during the coming year with the same unfailing attention to duty which characterised his work during the past year The, motion for the re-election of the ATayor was carried with acclamation. Acknowledging the honour conferred upon him, the Mayor said that as it was the unanimous wish of the council he decided to accept the 'office for another year. He thanked them for the honour which he ap- preciated very greatly. He appreciated it more this year than last year, for there was no doubt that it was only a matter of hours before peace would come (applause). Referring to Ald. John Lewis who wore the insignia of a member of the O.B.E., the Mayor said they were very pleased to hear that on uhe previous Tuesday Aid. Lewis was decorated by the Kiyig with the medal he wore on his breast. "If I knew he was coming here to-day with the medal added the mayor amidst laughter, I wo old have counteir-Eafenced' &aair by wearing my medal for long: service ii» the Volunteer force." Aeknow ledgng the congratulations, Aid. Lewis said he was disappointed that his daughter was taken ill whilst in London and could not be invested with her decora- tion. She was in London under medical treatment, but was much better. THE BOROUGH SHERIFF. Ald. L. D. Thomas proposed the re-elec- tion of Mr. David Samuel as borough sheriff. Mr. Samuel, he said, as looked upon as the father of the council, and he had performed the duties of his office ad- mirably last year. Mr. John Morgan seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously.—Mr. Samuel returned thanks. On the motion of Mr. Oliver Jones, seconded by Mr. John Jenkins, Ald. W. V. H. Thomas was re-elected returning officer for the eastern ward and Ald. L. D. Thomas for the western ward. THE WATCH COMMITTED. Referring to the composition of the .watch committee, Mr. David Williams stated that the committee consisted of eight members and the mayor, and as the quorum v.a.s three, the police oould be ruled by two. It was ridiculous that the council had no power over the committee. One of the latest Government circulars tited that in towns of ten thousand jn- habitants the watch committee could be increased to twelve members. The circular stated that the watch committee must con- sist of at least one-third of the town council. He proposed that the watch com- mittee should consist of twelve members, one of whom to be a Labour member (Mr. Martin).—Mr. John Morgan proposed the re-election of the old watch committee.— ,-e Mr. Martin protested against the election Of the same members continually, and said they were fossilising the council alto- gether.—The Clerk: Mr. Williams has proposed that you be elected on the com- mittee.—Mr. Martin- That has nothing to do with it. I propose that we appoint a new committee altogether. I do not be- lieve in electing the same members year after year. There are young members on the council who have no chance of know- ing the business of the council if you re- elect the old members continually.—Mr. W. Dunn Williams seconded, and the council voted by ballot, which resulted in all the o!d members of the committee being re- elected. The ballot was as follows:— Oliver Jones 15 votes, John Lewis 14, L. D. Thomas 14, J. B. Arthur 11, John Jenkins 1]. E. V. Collier 11, W. Spurrell 10, Dr. Gibbon and Mr. David Williams 7 each.— Mr. David Williams said that as he had tied with Dr. Gibbon he proposed that Mr. Martin be elected as Labour member.— Mr David Samuel: I think Mr. David Williams is as much of a Labour man as Mr. Martin.—Mr. Williams: No.—Mr. Samuel: Yes, you are.—It was decided to vote between Dr. Gibbon and Mr. David Williams, and the former was elected by 9 votes to 6 given for Mr. Williams. Mr. E. V. Collier proposed, and Mr. W. Dunn Williams seconded, that the Mayor, Aid. John Lewis, Ald., J. B. Arthur, and Mr. Oliver Jones be re-elected the council's representatives on the Towy Fishery Board. —Mr. W. J. Martn moved that four new members be elected.—There was no secon- der to this, and the motion for the re-elec- tion of the old members was carried. A resolution was formally passed to admit Sapper John Samuel Jones, M.M., son of Ins|>ectc>r Jones, and Sergt. Johnny Williams M.M., Priory-street, to be hono- rary freemen of the borough. FOOD CONTROL. When the appointment of the Food Con- trol Committee was considered, a. resolution from the Trades and Labour Council was read asking that Councillor W. J. Martin, Moasrs. W. H. Evans (Parcma en-street), W. T. Jeffreys (St. David's-street), and S. J. Jones (Barn-road) be elected on the committee to represent Labour The Car- marthen Industrial Co-operative Society wrote asking that Mr. David Roderick, (Myrddin-cresoent) be elected as a repre- sentative of that society.—Mr. W. Dunn Williams proposed that they elect on the committee two Labour members, one Co- operative member, and two ladies.—Aid. J. B. Arthur seconded.—Mr. Martin said if there was a private trader en the com- mittee the Co-operative Society was entitled to one member.—Mr. John Jenkins said according to the rules Labour v. as entitled -to three members, and, on his motion, Messrs. Martin, W. H. Evans, and S. J. Jones were appointed on the committee, it being explained that Mr. Jeffreys wished his name to be withdrawn.—Mr. Martin move:1, that the Mayoress and Mrs. Orman (Glannant-road) be elected on the com- mittee.—A!d. L. D. Thomas proposed that Alrp. Crossi.ian be elected -At the request of the Mayor, the name of The Mayoress was withdrawn .and Mrs. Crossmai and Mrs. Orman were elected on the food com- mittee.—The other members elected on the committee were: The Mayor, Messrs. >>. Dunn Williams, John Jenkins, Oliver Jones, John Lewis, and J. B. Arthur.

The War Savings Movement Mr. J. Howell Davies, hon. secretary of the Carmarthenshire War Savings Com- mittee, has received the following telegram from the National War Savings Committee: —Officially decided war savings move- ment to continue permanently. Guns week will be entitled Thanksgiving Weeks. Same amount of money still required for demobi- lisation and reconstruction. No change in Two Hundred Million scheme."

We have just been informed of another death in the above family, viz., Miss Edith Evans, the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Evans, and sister of the above, which took place on Saturdav night, the 9tli inst. She had not been well in health for some time, and the loss of her brother and a touch of influenza must have affected her. She was in her 15th year, and was the pet of the family, being the youngest of 13 children. The funeral of little Edith took place on Wedneeday and was also largely attended. There are three brothers serving; one happened to be home on leave, and ne also is indisposed.

LLANYBYTHER. On Friday, the 8th inst., death removed a very familiar personality in the person of Thomas Evans, Tanygraig Inn, after a very- brief illness, at the age of 53. De- ceased was highly respected and leaves a widow and two children to mourn their loss. The interment was made at Aberduar Chapel burial grounds on Tuesday.

j Ammanford Urban Council MEMBERS IN ANGRY MOOD. The ordinary meeting was held on Wed- nesday night in last week at the Y.M.C.A. I Buildmge, Mr. J. E, Jones presiding, with the following members present:—Rev. J. Morgan, Messrs. B. R. Evans, D. Jones, J. C. Shaw, J. Harries, Evan Evans, and Wm. Evans; also the Clerk (Mr. T. M. Evans, M.A..)., Surveyor (Mr. Dd. Thomas), and the j Rate Collector (Mr. T. J. Rees). f Some enlightenment was forthcoming as (' to the position respecting charges to be s made for electric light upon minutes of «> meetings of the Roads Committee, being [ read. It was stated that the application of j Mr. Herbert, of the electric supply works, for a readjustment of prices was gone into, and in this connection letters in reply to the Clerk's enquiry were read from many coun- cils, as were also a statement 4f Council's case as prepared by the Clerk, and counsel's opinion thereon. After lengthy considera- tion, it was proposed by the Rev. J. Morgan. seconded by Mr. J. E. Jones, and unani- mously resolved that an offer be made to Mr. Herbert: (1) To increase the price of electric light for private consumption from the present rate of 5d. to a uniform rate of 6d. per unit; (2) to pay him 5s. per lamp per annum in addition to the payment at present made for the public lights; and (3) such arrangement as shall be agreed to by Mr. Herbert to hold good for the duration of the war and for six months afterwards. It was also resolved that Mr. Herbert's atten- tion be called to a number of public lamps in the town which had not been lighted for some time.—Mr. Herbert subsequently at- tended the meeting, and expressed his regret at being unable to accept the offer, and he intimated that it was his intention to apply for a Board of Trade provisional order. The whole case was discussed, and Mr. Her- bert persisted in saying that the offer made would not recompense him for the greater wages which he now paid. Mr. Herbert was also informed that he had no legal right to make his present meter charges, but he said he was prepared to take the conse- quences.—Mr. Wm. Evans initiated a dis- cussion upon the report, complaining that the committee had not taken the Council sufficiently into their confidence in disclosing the full terms of counsel's opihion.-The Clerk said that as much had been disclosed as was considered discreet at the time. He thought it would be folly on their part to show their hands completely.—Mr. Evans replied that the Council as a body ought anyhow to be taken into their confidence.— Several members spoke in agreement with the Clerk as to the inadvisabiljty of dis- closing full terms, and the Rev. J: Morgan observed that counsel's opinion was fully in support of the contention of the Council.— Mr. J. Harries drew attention to the fact that some ratepayers were paying Mr. Her- bert the increased meter rent-It was stated, in reply, that the Council could not. well advise ratepayers not to pay these charges; still it had been intimated to them that Mr. Herbert had no legal right to make the charge.—Mr. Wm. Evans thought the Roads Committee should have given a fuller report, with details of the prices charged in other places.—Mr. B. R. Evans said the Clerk had read to them details of prices paid under 14 public authorities similarlv placed to them, and, with one exception, the price ranged from 6d. downwards.-Mr. Evans: What is it at Llandilo?—Mr. Dd. Jones: They have their wires underground. —Mr. J. C. Shaw: What is the charge at Llandebie? (Laughter).—The committee's report was adopted.-Upon the estimates for the half-year being read, Mr. Wm. Evans commented upon the action of the council in investing sums in war loan when they had no reserve funds, with the result that these investments came directly out of these investments came directly out of the non-payment of rates," he said, "and using their money for investment purposes. I am sure if the point was contested in court you couldnt get an order against any of them. u ^ones: T,le Council have decided that we should invest, so we cannot help ourselves. A general district rate of 2s. 8d. in the i:, and a water rate of Id. in the £ were levied. The district rate has in- creased 4d. upon the last half vear.-Arising out of an application by Mr. Dd. Griffiths, haulier, for an increase in his remuneration from 13s. to 17s. per day for removal of refuse, it was decided to advertise for freah tenders.—The report of the Medical Officer (Dr. D. R. Price) for the month stated that a large number of the inhabitants were stricken dn with the influenza epidemic. All the schools in the area had been closed, a very large number of children being suf- ferers. Several deaths had occurred, but the if3 r3fe compared very favourably with that of other districts. The precautionary measures issued by the L.G.B. were being carried out generally.—Mr. John Harriec le asked that the Medical Officer should insist upon the public schools being fumigated before reopening.—During election of mem- bers on the food control committee there Waj "eated scene between Mr. J. Harries ,rr- Evans. Mr. Harries alleged that Mr. Evans was exhibiting spite in a proposition which he made.—Mr. Evans: H Mr. Harries has not the courage of his convictions let him go home. r. Harries (turning to Mr. Evans): You are a great nuisance, and an insulting person wherever you are. Mr. Evans: And you are igno- rant.—Mr. Harries: It is you who it igno- rant, and don't you think you are goin to carry on things in this way.—Mr. E. Evans intervened, and the Chairman oalled the two members to order.—Members elected on the food control committee were :-Mrs. T. L. Davies; Mrs. Rhys Thomas (Brooklandsi, and Miss R. Jenkins (Bettws); Messrs. J. E. Jones, Dd. George, Wm. Evans, J. C. Shaw. B. R. Evans. E. Evans, and the Rev. J. Morgan; Mr. R. T. Jones (Pantyffynnonl, and Mr. Frank Davies (Hopkinstown).- Later, upon a resolution being submitted irom a ratepayers' meeting protesting against the action of the Council in making an appointment, of fuel overseer without first advertising for applicants, and calling for a re-opening of the matter, Mr. Wm. Evans stated that the instigators of the meeting were mostly non-ratepayers, as was also the chairman.—Mr. Dd. Jones thought the Council's chairman ought to have been consulted in calling the meeting. Thia was not done, and consequently the meeting was not constitutionally called, and he moved that they do not deal with it. "Our chair- man was in the meeting," declared Mr. Jones, and it was a direct insult to him to put anybody else in the chair."—Chair- man: I was not there in tirne.-Ilessrs. E. Evans and J. Harries pressed for a reoon- sideration, pointing out the promises held forth to the discharged soldiers.—Mr, Wm. Evans then alleged that the gentleman who moved the resolution at the public meeting had been himself appointed to a post of col- liery checkweigher when there was a die- charged soldier applying. He took the Position, said Mr. Evano. whereas a man with a wooden leg could do it."—Mr. J. Harries protested against the introduction of personalities into the discussion. He de- clared that rtie gentleman in question had been an ardent worker in the labour move- ment and enjoyed the workmen's confidenct, and it was most unfair to make these allega- tions against him.—Mr. E. Evans declared that all the men involved were given a voice in the appointment, which thus put it on quite a different basis to that of the Council. 4.u the end, the Chairman ruled that in the absence of a notice of motion the reso- lution making the appointment could not be rescinded, and Mr. E. Evans, thereupon, gave notice to bring forward a motion at the next meeting.
