LLANDILO. A reception in honour of those who served in the Great War was given, under the auspics of the Llandilo Soldiers ana Sailors' Welcome Committee, at the Vic- toria Drill Hall on Wednesday evening, t 26th November, presided over by Mr. John Hinds, M.P., lord lieutenant of CarmlLT-, thenshire. Tables were laid for over 400. The fare provided was of the very best. After the tables were cleared the following programine was proceeded with:—The Pre- sident proposed the toast of the King, which was loyally reecived. The Band struck up th National Anthem, which was heartily joined in, and this was followed by the soldiers giving "The Girl from Armen- tieres." Song, "Jack Briton," Councillor J. R. Evans. The Right Hon. Lord Dyn- evor, in proposing the toast of "The Sea, Land, and Air Forces" {including Dis- charged and Demobilised Members), spoke eloquently of the work done by the Grand Fleet. With regard to the Land Forces, the men wherevf-r they were were real heroes, and fought like true Britishers (cheers). We were truly grateful to them. Slowly and surely they got the supremacy. For Marshal Foch they would always have high regard, and for the Colonials who helped the Mother Country so well. Lieutenant- Colonel Delme Davies-Evans, D.S.O., reply- ing, said that during the war they had not much time for speech-making. Six years ago he had responded to a similar toast when hardly anyone realised that the war was coming. He could only echo Lord Dynevor's remarks. Captain J. R. Wil- liams, also responding, said he agreed with everything Colonel Davies-Ehrans had said. He (Captain Williams) was attached to the Bantam Brigade, but there were not many of them left. He spoke of the difficulty of keeping the front line. and of the impossi- bilities of obtaining rest. He spoke very highly of the work done by the men. The President asked all to stand in memory of the fallen, and repeated the verses, We shall remember them: There were heavy hearts to night.' Mr. Frank Jones having contributed a violin solo, Lieut.-Col. W. N. he could say what he liked of the House of Parliament," said it was a dry subject. If Lord Dynevor had not been present he could say what he liked of the House ot Lords, and if Mr. Hinds were not present ho coull say what he liked of the House of Commons. When Mr. Lloyd George took over the reins he was supported by Lord Dynevor, Mr. John Hinds, and Mr. Mr. Towyn Jones. They owed much to Mr. Lloyd George. The country was faced with almost insurmountable difficulties, and they should help the Government all they could. He hoped to see Lady Astor in the Commons. Lord Dynevor, responding said he was sorry he !j)ad not the pleasure of -hearing Mr. W. N. Jones expressing his views on the House of Lords. He (Lord Dynevor) had sat in both Houses. He pre- ferred speaking in the House of Lords. Mr. John Hinds M.P. also replied, and thanked them for the respect they had shewn him. He was getting to like Llan- dilo mere and more. He, too, hoped to see a lady in the House. Mr. D. J. Rhys sang "Baner co Gwlad," and Lord Dynevor, in the absence of Lady Dynevor, make pre- sentations to the following:—Major T. C. Thomas, O.B.E., M.C., Captain R. P. Wil- liams, M.C., Lieut. A. J. A. Jolly, Sergt.- Major D. Rees, Sergt. I. R. Hughes, M.M., Corpl Gomer Thomas, M.M., Corpl. Tom Rog-ers, Gunner W. S. Johns, Ptes. John Thomas John Baker, Idwal Davies, A. C Preedy, J. P. Watkins, John Rogers, N. V. L. Pia, and David Evans. In making the presentations. Lord Dynevor expressed the pleasure he had in presenting the awarcrs, and thanked them for the present they had given his son. Major T. C. Thomas, O.B.E., M.C., in rising to respond, had a big reception. He had great pleasure on behalf of all in offering them their heartfelt thanks for the kind way they had receivea them. Col.-Sergt. George W. Jenkins pro- posed the toast of "The Nurses," said that all sorts and conditions of men and women had taken part in the struggle, but none more than the Nurses. Quarter-Master F. R. Williams resopnded on behalf of the Nurses. "The Soldier's Song" was ren- dered by Mr. D. Lewis (Llew Cib), and the toast of "The Clergy and Ministers ot all Denominations' was proposed by Coun- cillor W. Hopkins, J.P., who said he was thankful to be present at the great func- tion. He hoped the clergy and ministers would help to bring about the League of Nations. He regretted the absence of the Rev. William Davies through ill-health. The Ven. Archdeacon Robert Williams, M.A., responding, said he heartily wished the committee had not used the word "Clergy." The word had lost its old mean- ing. It Was better to say "Ministers ot the Gospel." "Go to Sea, my Lads, go to Sea," was sunp by Councillor J. R. Evans, and the Rev. D. P. Roberts submitted the toast of "The Town and Trade of Llan- dilo." Councillor H. W. Jonesl, J.P., chairman of the Llandilo Urban District Council, in Tesponding, said he was an old boy of the town. Llandilo1 had proved to be one of the most loyal towns in Wales. What the men had done Reflected credit on the town. Councillor D. Pritchard Dafvies, J.P., also responded. The toast of "The Ladies' Committee" was proposed by Capt. W. L. Roberts, and responded to by Mrs. Hompjtray Davies. ""The President}" was submitted by Councitlor J. H. Rees, J.P., I and the President suitably replied. The singing of "Hen Wlad fy Nhadau" and "God save the King' brought a most enjoy- able evening to a close.

LAMPETER. There are boxing classes held at Aberys- twyth and it would be to the advantage of the rising generation of Lampeter if lessons in the "noble art" could be arranged there. Our boys at the front on many occasions benefited, to the amazement of the Bosche, when ammunition gave out, owing to their knowledge of this athletic form of recrea- tion. What can be done? The movement far welcoming home i Church lads who volunteered so readily to join the army in defence of their King and country, is progressing favourably, the Church people having contributed hand- somely towards such a worthy object. About 130 joined, and some of them lost their lives. The relatives of those who are dead ought to receive the same portion of money or a certificate as those who have returned, and undoubtedly the committee will favour- ably consider this. In order to help the memorial fund, which we are sorry to find does not progress as well as one could desire, we beg to suggest a plan to help the fund on. Some years ago, some young ladies undertook to sing carols at Christmastime in the town and neighbourhood towards a charitable object. and succeeded in raising a substantial sum. Our suggestion is that these kind ladies be asked to kindly organise a party to sing again, and collect towards the memorial fund. If properly approached by an influ- ential party, there is no doubt that the scheme would be carried out. On Wednesday evening, Ncfvember 26, an organ recital was given at Soar Chapel by Mr. Ivor Davies, organist of St. David's College Chap; when Councillor D. Thomas, the mayor, presided. The chapel was filled to overflowing, and every item on the programme was excellently ren- dered. Miss Muriel Jones, Merthyr Tydfil, gave selections on the harp, while soloa were g: von by Miss A. Jones, Aberystwyth; Miss Lottie Davies, Trealaw; Miss Eunice Davies; Miss H. iGertrude 4-ans, Lam- peter; Mr. Oswald Brenton, St. David's College, and Mr. J. P. Evans, Lampeter. Miss Cissie James, mayoress of Lampeter, ably accompanied the singers on the piano- forte. All present were delighted with the way in which the programme was carried out. Mr. Charles Evans was treasurer, while the seoetarial duties were ably accom- plished by Mr. Timothy Richards, Ardwyn. The proceeds were devoted to the fund for the extension of Soar burial ground. At the Church Hall on Thursday evening in last week, a lantern lecture was given by the Rev. J. ReC9 Davies, M.A., curate, on "Palestine.' The lecturer, having been chaplain in the army, had travelled a great deal through Palestine and other countries, and was fully acquainted with the places de- picted on the canvas. It was a delightful and interesting lecture. The Rev. D. T. Alban, B.A., manipulated the lantern, assisted by Mr. Marsden James. The pro- coeds were handed over to the funds of the Girls' Friendly Society. The annual jumble sale of the Lampeter District Nursing Association was held at the Church Hall on Wednesday, Novem- ber 26, and was well patronised as usual. Four stalls had been erected, which were superintended as follows :-Tea stall: Mrs. Rowlands, Mrs. Price, Mrs. Wade, Miss Joyce, and Mrs. Walters, assisted by Miss Ida Davies and Nurses Jones and Howells. Prhceds. 910. Women's Stall: Mr& Gri- ffiths, Mrs. Lewis, Mrs. Evans, Mrs. Dvies-Jones. Miss Annie Davies, Miss Owen, assisted by Miss Davies-Jones. Pro- ceeds, £ 10 8is. 7d. Men's Stall: Mrs. Jcnes, Mrs. Nun Davies, Mrs. Charles Evans. Proceeds, £ 7 5s. 7d. Oddment Stall: The President (Mrs. T. H. R. Hughes). assisted by the Misses Roderick Evans. Proceeds, C5 12s. 9d. The sale was quite a success, the nett total being J634. Praise is due to the president for her good work and generosity in the district. Miss Daisy Thomas, the energetic hon. secretary, worked assiduously to ensure the success of the sale. On Sunday morning, the Rev. E. Hughes, B.A., Cardiff, an old student, occupied the pulpit at the College Chapel, and delivered an excellent sermon dealing with the work of the Church Army. In the evening, the rev. gentleman gave a lecture upon the same subject at the Col- lege Hall, when illustrations of the Church Army's organisation at home and abroad were shown by the aid of limelight views, the lantern being manipulated by Mr. Williams, Eastfield. Collections were made on behalf of the Church Army. A social was held at Brondeifi Vestry last Friday week, when some 150 people spent an enjoyable evening. As the Carnegie rural library scheme :s in full working order in the county, it is timely to inquire whether Lampeter is in- cluded among the places to receive the benefits of this excellent scheme. Surely as a nominal county town Lampeter has (strong claiiA for consideration in this matter. Last Friday evening, the Brondeifi Mutual Improvement Society held theiT first meeting, when the subject under dis- cussion was "The League of Nations, prob- able or impracticable." About a dozen members took part in the discussion.

LLANDOVERY. An interesting concert was given by the children of Cwmdwr Church of England School on Saturday. During the proceed- ings Mrs. W. R. Richards, who for nine years was assistant mistress in the school, was the recipient of a handsome Queen Anne silver tea service. During the past five years, she organised children's concerts in aid of good causes, and was very,popular among the children and their parents. The Rev. D. J. Evans; vicar of Myddfai, and correspondent to the school, presided, and in making the presentation, remarked that Mrs. Richards had done very good worl- during the time she was on the school staff. Mrs. Richards expressed her thanks for the kind gift, and said she would always re- member the happy time spent in the school. Among the other speakers were the Rev. II, Richards, Myddfai; Mr. E. Davies, Goya-lt; Mr. Evans. Verdre; Mr. Morgans, Lluyri piod; and Mr. English, each of whom eulo gised the sterling qualities of Mrs. Ricn i Is as a teacher. Subsequently the children gave a lengthy programme. The chief «iterna were the action songs, "Lady Barber"; coon song, Washing Day," Skipping," and Dirty Boy." The Blue Bell dance, military two-step, and original dance were well performed. The Misses Milly Davies, Olwen Davies, Mary Gwen Thomas, Lottie Morgan, and Eunice Maidment brought down the house with laughter. A play, down the house with laughter. A play, entitled The Sleeping Beauty," was cleverly acted, and those who took part were Miss Olwen Jones (the Queen), Master Brinley Morgan (King), Miss May English (Princess), Miss E. Maidment (Prince), Miss Gladys Augustus (Witch), Master Edwin Augustus (Cook), Master Morgan Davies (Bellringer), and ten small fairies. The dif- ferent costumes looked most becoming. Mr. English, as usual, caused roars of laughter in his comic song, "Oh, its a lovely war." Hen Wlad fy Nhadau" concluded a very enjoyable evening. A meeting of the Old Age Pensions Com- mittee for this district was held at the Town Hall on Friday last, Mr. D. Davies, J.P., Rhyblid, presiding. One claim for old age pension waa allowed at 5s., whilst another claim was disallowed on the ground that the claimant had not attained the statutory age. One question was raised bv the Pension Officer as to whether the pensioner was en- titled to a pension. The committee t*ecidc«' to discontinue it on the ground (.hat the pensioner was in receipt of outdoor p-jor relief. An army separation claim was re- considered, and the committee tt»oi»ed to adhere to the decisiort they arri/eJ at in September, 1918, which entitled the «'aimant to a pension of J31 per week. The wedding was solemnised at Salem t: .p- gregational Chapel on Wednes lay m last week between Mr. Morgan Davies. eldest son of Mrs. Elizabeth Davies, Cyfncarr.i?, and Miss Railia Williams, daugfit-?r of Mr. David Williams, Vergwm. The bride, who was charmingly attired, was given away by her father, whilst Mr. David Davies (bro- ther) acted as best man. The Rev. D. Richards, Myddfai, officiated, Mr. T. Evans, as "authorised person," being also present. The wedding breakfast was partaken of at the residence of the bridez parents, and a large circle of relatives and friends gathered together An interesting wedding took place at Salem Congregational Chapel on Saturday last, the contracting parties being Mr. David Evans, Smithfield House, Llanwrda, and Miss Mary Maud George, Garreg, Caio. The bride was becomingly attired, and was given away by her brother-in-law, Mr. John James, Anglo House, Llangadock. Mr. John Evans (brother) acted as best man. The nuptial khot was tied by the Rev. D. Bowen, Her- mon. Mr. W. T. Price, as registrar of marriages, was also present. The wedding breakfast was partaken at Anglo House. On the 16th ult. Mr. and Mrs. John Jones, Green Glon, commemorated their golden wedding and received hearty con- gratulations from their numerous relatives and friends. They were married at Salem Congregational Chapel on the 16th Novem- ber, 1869, by the late Dr. T. E. Thomas, D.D., and ever since have lived in the same house. For 25 years Mr. Jones acted as head gardener at Cwm-Rhuddan, and re- signed the position in 1894. Both are 76 years of age. There are four children of the marriage surviving, namely, Miss Mary Jones, headmistress of Grange Town School, Cardiff; Mr. John Dyfri Jones, superinten- dent gardener on the BoumviUe Estate (lecturer to the Working Men's College, Bournville, and lecturer and secretary to the Association of Gardeners, Bournville Branch); Mr. Tom Jones, foreman cabinet- maker at works in Birmingham belonging to the Chancelior of the Exchequer; and Alisi Maggie Jones, who is at home nursing her invalid mother.
