se- .STREET SCENE AT PONTYCYMMER "PLASHING IT" IN OXFORD STREET. A young collier, named Jenkin Thomae Harries, of Alexandra Road, Pontycymmer, has been rejected, so he alleges, as unfit for military rervice--unfitness that oouid hardly have been physical disability, according to the ..police story of his violence on a reoent occa- sion. The details of that story were disclosed -at Bridgend Police Court on Saturday in the adjourned case in which Harries (defended by :1k. David Llewellyn) was charged with being ,4rank and disorderly, and also with assault- ing P.C. James McLoughlin, stationed at Pontycymmer. The witnesses were ordemed out of Court. P.C. McLoughlin deposed: At 10.45 p.m. on the 10th of this month, I saw defendant in OK ford Street, Pontycymmer, in the company of two other men. He was very drunk, and making use of most filthy language. He also had an electric torch-light, which he was flashing about the street. I spoke to him -about it, and told him to put the light in his pocket. He replied, If I was in khaki | would floor you" At the same time be took off his overcoat, and struck me a violent i blow in the face, causing blood to flow from my nostrils. I closed with him. and in the struggle we both fell. He then kicked me several times about the body and legs. He also gave me a violent kick on the left side of the head. He next broke my whistle-chain, ..And threw the whistle into the crowd, saying There's the whistle." He also tore twO buttons from my tunic, and broke my watch. I got him to his feet, when he struck me a violent blow in the faoe. P.S. Rees came to my assistance, and took hold of Rees came i-o in- him by the right arm. He kicked both of us several times on the legs, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Y ou won't take me, you > He proceeded a short distance, when he shot out both legs, causing the three of us to fall. Prisoner's face came in contact with the ground, which caused his nose to bleed. We'again got him up, when he again kicked the sergeant several times on the legs. He -turned to me, and said, "I will do three years for you, you Then be turned to Sergt. Rees, and said, "I won't stop short of -murdering you." He resisted all the way -to the Police Station, behaving like a mad- man, and kicking in all directions. At the Police Station I found my clothes were Covered with mud, and I was bleeding from the nose.. He was very vioLnt in the Police Station, and again threatened to punch us. By Mr. David Llewellyn I didn't use offen- ifiive language, nor taunt him with not being in the Army. He said, "I have tried to pass and failed, and that's more than you have -done." I didn't catch hold of him by the throat. I have never had trouble with him t>efoie. We didn't half-drag him to the Police Station. He resisted all the way, and we had to use some force No one in the <srowd shouted "Give him a chance, or I'll re- port you" nor is it true that I said, "I'll re- port you." I did not strike him all the way "to the Police Station, or at the Police Sta- tion. He was so helplessly drunk that his parents were not permitted to see him in the -C&I. In answer to the Chairman (Alderman W. luewellyn), witness said no oomplaint was made to the sergeant in charge (P.S Evans) .after prisoner had been locked up. P.S. Rees next gave evidence—corrobora- tive and supplementary. He said he was -called to the last witness, who, he was in- formed, was in trouble in Oxford Street. He found the prisoner and McLoughlin strug- gling, and both covered with blood. The -constable complained that Harries had aseaul- 1;ed him. Witness took hold of prisoner by "the right arm, and explained to the Court I -the lively scenes that ensued, and the youth's .alleged savagery on the way to the Police 'Station. He also added that Harries, with tis left foot kicked him, and disabled one of the fingers of his right hand. At the Police 'Station witness discovered, as the result of the kick, that the second joint of the third finger was "deformed." He consulted Dr. Albert, who examined the finger, and in- formed him that- Mr. Llewellyn objected, whereupon Supt. Wm. Davies said: In respect of that the wit- ness will have his remedy on another occa- sion. The Sergeant, under examination by Mr. 'Llewellyn, said: It is untrue to say we -dragged him to the Police Station. Nobody spoke on the way, or threatened to report tis. Prisoner did not say we were hurting Tilm. We did not strike him in the face, and it is not a fact I was about to strike him again and that McLoughlin told me not to do it as "we were too close to the Police Sta- tion." I don't know how his front teeth fell out. This being the case for the prosecution, Mr Llewellyn outlined his defence as, in the main, a contradiction of the polioe version, and the submission that the assault upon McLoughlin, if any, was brought upon that offioer himself. Defendant then gave evidence. He said he had never been fined for assault. On this evening he had been to the Royal Hotel, and left there about 9 o'clock, having had some beer, though he wea not drunk. Then he repaired to the fried fish skop at Wannhant, where he stayed about fen how and a quar- ter, and then he went towards kis home in Alexandra Road. Three of them were stand- ing together in the darkaeas—the street JamPf; being "out," owing to "the etrike" between the employee bad U1. Council. He denied flashing the light, which be admitted went in the constable's face. McLoughlin said if he knew Hth. law." be, wouldn't do it. Witness replied that he was sorry, but did not know that he was doing any harm. The constable then caught him by the throat, and said "A little like you ought to be in the Army." Witness replied that he had tried to pom the Army—which .was more than McLoughlin had done—but was rejected. He did not strike a single blow, though both officers struck him, neither did he receive his injuries through raIling on the ground. He did not "trip up" the police, who, he asserted, knocked out his front teeth. By Supt. Wm. Davies: There was no dis- colouration the next day, only in the oorner of my eye. The Superintendent: You made no oorn- plant to me, or to Sergt. Evans. Witness: Sergt. ETauíi didn't ask me where I had been drinking. The Sapt: You know it is customary, after warning a prisoner, to ask him where he has been drinking! Didn't he ask you the fol- lowing morning where you had been drink- ing?—No, sir; not at all. Pressed by the Supt., witness said he had had a "couple of half-pints"—he couldn't say how many. Did these two men have the same amount of drink?—Yes Replying to further questions, prisoner de- nied using any bad language, and said he turned on the lamp to show the quality of what was in it. Joseph Keys, invalided out of the Army, <;aid his home was at Pontypridd, and he was staying for a week at Pontycymmer. Wit- nese said that McLoughlin said, "What the are you flashing that torch for? If you knew the law you wouldn't do it." Presently the sergeant came up, and between them they dragged prisoner along the road, witness and others following. Prisoner "ailed out, "Joe, oome here; they are hurt- ing me." Witness shouted, "Don't hurt him —give him a chance, or I shall report you." The constable turned, and said, "I'll have yon, too." The Supt.: Did he resist arrest ?—No, he had no chance to resist. Why?—Because they were dragging him along. Witness, who admitted having been in the "Royall' from 7 till 9, said it was a faot that at the time he did not protest at the Police Station against anything in the shape of bar- barity on the part of the police. Supt. Davies: You never made any com- plaint when you were here last Saturday ?— o. Joseph Saunders, the other young man, told a similar story. Didn't you," asked Mr. Llewellyn, "go up to the Police Sta- tion ?"—Witness: I knew better than to do that." (Laughter.) Witness agreed that prisoner, on the way to the station, shouted: "Oh, Joe; they are hurting me!" As for the police, he alleged they had told the wrong side of the tale. Replying to the Superintendent, witness said he thought it his duty to act as a gentleman. Supt. Davies: That's what you are doing here to-day?—Yes, that's what I am doing again to-day. Defendant, who had been up before for us- ing indecent language, was fined 15s. for being drunk and disorderly, and £ 3, or one month, for the assault on the police.
j CORRESPONDENCE. J .
j CORRESPONDENCE. J STRANDED SOLDIERS. j To the Editor. The letter of Rev. Thomas Davids, presi- dent of the Bridgend Free Church Council, in reply to mse, is slearly based an a colossal ignoranos of the topography of the Valley. Ogmore, Ogmore Vale, and Ogmore Valley, to the rev. gentleman, are identical. My dear friend, the three are quite distinct. Ogmore is e levea miles from Ogmore Vale, and Ogmore Valley embraces Nantymoel, Og- more Vale, Blackmill, Brynmenin, Tondu, and the market town of Bridgend (noted for its asylums). The Ogmore Reception Com- [ mittee is, as far as I know, "non est," but the Ogmore Vale Reoepti-on Committee is, and has been very much alive ever igino6 its inoeption, and their occasional little banquets may not inaptly be oompared to the "annual preaching services" held quarterly at the rev. gentleman s church to rouse the members from their spiritual stupor. Mr. Davies deduces inferences from my letter which were neither contained nor im- plied in it, and npon these fallacious in- ferenoee he has badly let himself down. The inspired paragraph to which I took exception appeared under the heading of Nantymoel, and contained the implied charge that noth- ing was being done in Ogmore Valley towards providing comforts and conveyances for our stranded heroes. As Ogmore Vale is one of the villages embraced in Ogmore Valley, it devolved upon me as chairman of the Ogmore Vale Reception Committee to explain briefly what had been done by the committee, what it is prepared to do, and what it will do, not- withstanding the narrow susceptibilities of my critic. The Ogmore Vale Reception Com- mittee oonsiets of over fifty of the most pro- minent citizens in Ogmore Vale, and it has organised thirty-two public receptions for our "bo.va"remptions in which the following gentlemen have from time to time taken part:-Alderman Llewellyn, J.P., Councillors Tom Lucas, J.P., and D. J. Thomas, Mr. D. L. Richards and Mr. D. Ferguaeon (mana- gers), Mr. Wm. Dyke (colliery agent), Sergt. Neal (Bridgend), Rev. E. W. Hough, Mr. Lewis Lewis, Mr. John Hodgson, Mr. E. Hares, and a host of others. Since Nov. lst, 1915, the committee has been in a financial position to grant a crown —a silver crown, not a crown of glory-to every Ogmore Vale hero who returns from the front, and up to date 121 lads have received their silver crowns. I repeat that the oom- mittee has sent conveyances, whenever in- formed, to meet the late trains at Bridgend, notwithstanding the gratuitous libel against the local Motor Cycling Club. For the edification of my critic, and not for our own vainglory, I may inform him that the Ogmore Vale Reception Committee was instrumental last month in collecting practic- ally one hundred pounds in cash and kind for the auction sale at Blackmill, which realised the handsome figure of L450 towards the Coy- trahen Red Cross Hospital. And the latter, to show its appreciation of the efforts put forth by the Ogmore Vale Reception Com- mittee, co-opted your humble servant as a member of the Hospital Management Com- mittee. The individual members of the Og- more Vale Reoeption Committee subscribed amongst themselves and purchased a pony and a photograph of the late Field Marshall, which were the means of augmenting the funds of the sale by eight guineas. Ten pound s have been granted to the local Ladies' Sewing Guild to provide comforts for our sol- diers at the front and in hospital. Yet in the face of this and many other activities, we have this audacious scribe asserting that Og- more Vale is not alive to its responsibilities. Before I close I should like to ask the Rev. Thomas Davies to give me privately, or through the Press, the names of six stranded Ogmore Vale soldiers who have received either a cheery word or any assistance from him or the organisation he represents. The efforts of the individual members of the Og- more Vale Reception Committee have signally failed to elicit the name of a SINGLE Og- more Vale lad who has been met by him or any member of his organisation. I have no doubt that the Reception Committee over which I have the honour to preside, if ap- proached, would refund to him or his organi- sation any expense incurred by them in con- veying to Ogmore Vale any Ogmore Vale soldier or sailor who has returned from the front or hospital. But they are not prepared to refund any expense incurred over an Og- more or an Ogmore Valley man. Their spirit is willing, but their funds are too weak to go so far afield.-Yours, etc., WM. BARTLETT, President of the Ogmore Vale Reception Committee.
PONTYCYMMER.
PONTYCYMMER. NATIONAL MISSION .-Services in con- nection with the National Mission of Repent- ance and Hope were held at St. Theodore's Church from Saturday last until Tuesday. The Bishop's Messenger was the Rev. T. Parry Pryce, B.A., Vicar of Dingestow, who delivered most powerful and inspiring ser- mons. On Sunday there were two early cele- brations of the Holy Communion, at 7.30 and 8.30, and Solemn Eucharist, with procession, at 11. There was a record number of com- municants present, and at Evensong the Church was packed, many being unable to obtain admission.—Special services were also held at St. David's Church, for men, on Sun- day afternoon, and for women on Monday morning, both of which were well attended. ) ————

IPONTYCYMMER MAN'S VISIT TO…
I PONTYCYMMER MAN'S VISIT TO THE PYRAMIDS. The following graphic description of a visit to the Pyramids le from the pen of Sapper Howard E. Rees, Royal Engineers, writing to his brother, Mr. D. J. Reea., P.O., Ponty- cvmmer. Sapper Reea, after going through t?e DardancII4 campaign without a scratch, was drafted out to Egypt, where he has been im several minor "brushes" with the enemy, besides being dowa with dysentery. We are happy to learn that he is now convalescent. Sapper Rees writes:—" To those who have been to Egypt, one of the most likely ques- tions that will be put to them on their re- tura to Englaad is, Have you seen the Pyra- mids ?' The answer that Egypt has been visited, but not the Pyramids, will be received with xubpicios; and not wishing to earn the none too flattering title of a Traveller who has never left home,' my friend and I decided to visit' these monuments of ancient glory. "We started from Wardan. On arrival at the station we were immediately accosted by a whole oordon of native guides. They babbled to us for some time in imperfect Eng- lish, trying to convince ua of the advisability of joining their party for a visit to the Pyra- mids, etc. Fifteen piastres, we were as- sured, would cover all the expenses: and the outing would include a visit to the Pyramids, Sphinx, Temple of Sphinxes, and various mosquee in Cairo. In fact, it was to be a whole day of excellent sight-seeing. But the beggars were far too plausible, and We de- clined their otiex-not too politely, for polite- ness to this class of Arab is regarded by them only as an invitation for further perseverance. After we had got clear of these gentry, we had alittle heart-to-heart talk about our financial position, and realising the slender- ness of our purses, we decided to economise- So at the end of our train journey, we proudly showed, the natives that we were not greenhorns,' by driving a bargain with one of the guides to take us, for five piastres each, to the Pyramids only. Our action was soon regretted, however, and our pride sank into annoyance and humiliation on finding later that the native had got the better of us, for we had to pay the wretch's expenses, which came (apart from his promised fee) to seven piastres. Besides this, we had to en- gage a special guide to take us into the Pyra- mids. Alas 1 poor Tommy; he belongs to a noble, but certainly not very artful race. All the same, we did not regret the trip, which was a most enjoyable and novel one. The tram journey took us through beautiful irrigated country, with acree and acres of sugar-cane on the one side, and the muddy, yet picturesque, Nile, dotted plentifully with small sailing craft and house-boats, on the other. We got off at the tram terminus, hired three donkeys and proceeded towards the majestic piles t6t at a short distance away, were looming high into the sky. Dur- ing the ride, our guide jabbered off in parrot fashion a short history of the Pyramids, which he had learnt from some guide book: and any word he couldn't remember was hurriedly sub- stituted by some peculiar gurgling sound or a mumble; and as these gurgles and mumbles comprised about half of what he had to say, we understood very little of the history. I should not omit to mention here that the three donkeys were under the charge of ,a small Arab boy, who ran alongside us. The animal that I was riding appeared deter- mined to uphold the traditions of the 'moke,' and the boy kept livening him with a big stick. Now, I am fond of animals, and it hurt me to see my poor beast being beaten so. But it hurt me more when the little rag- gamufifn, for the third time, missed his aim, and caught me one across the leg. I got wild, and called upon Ali (our guide) to tell the boy in Arabic that if he didn't cease us- ing that stick immediately, I should pitch him over the bank. The threat was duly made, and we rode on in peace. On nearing the Pyramids I was struck by their hugeness—especially by the one known as Cheops" (pronounced s ee-opf,), which is in the best state of preservation. I could hardly credit that the immense structures were merely the tombs of ancient Royal fami- lies. Each pyramid contains practically enough stone to build a town. We went to see the famous Sphinx that Napoleon is said to have, after considerable bombardment, suc- ceeded only in knocking the nose off. Next we saw the Temple of the Sphinxes, with ite alabaster base and marble columns. Then we returned to Cheop's Pyramid. I won't at- tempt to describe the interior more than to say that we had to take off our boots (owing to the slippery floor of the passages), and pro- ceed hand-in-hand with our guide down a low, narrow passage, then up, up up a steep slope, aided by our guide, and by niches cut into the lfoor. So far did it seem and so stifling was the atmosphere, that by the time we reached the top we were quite fatigued, and the per- spiration oozed from us. Having seen the "King's chamber," in the corner of which is the cold, uninviting sarcophagus, where the coffin had been placed, and afterwards visited the "Queen's chamber," we were glad to make our way into the fresh air again. Before we entered the Pyramid, Ali told us that the donkeys must return, as it was against the interests of the owner to allow them to wait whilst we went through the Pyramid. This reasoning was cogent enough, but we were thinking of ourselves, having to walk back. We realised the position, and felt almost limp as we faintly muttered to our- selver "Had again!" During the whole time that one is in the vicinity of the Pyramids, one is pestered by small boys selling 'old coins found in the Pyramids.' These coins have, I admit, every ajpearance of being 'ol' but one must 'never d, judge one's cigars by the picture on the box, and at the rate that these 'curios' are being bought by unsuspecting visitors, I strongly suspect that a certain manufacturing firm in England finds it none too easy to cope with the big demand for 'old' coins. "Having dismissed our wary guide, we went back to Cairo, and spent the rest of the day there. That night we returned to camp, and got down to our sand-bed feeling very tired, but perfectly satisfied with our dav's outing. "I have since visited Cairo, the Museum, the Native Bazaar, the Citadel and Mobam- med Ali Mosque, and other places; but of these I may speak a little later."

■*A* I Garw Gleanings; J (By LlOFFWR AHALLi # I (BY   We congratulate Miss M. Hughes, Ffaldau House, Pontycymmer, upon obtaining a posi- tion as clerk at the Ministry of Munitions OnMe. Ill "W e were pleased to see Capt. Gwilym Pen- nant, R.A.M.C., son of Councillor W. Pen- nant, of Pontycymmer, home on a short visit. 1 i i He didn't come alone on this occasion, but brought with him his better half. We hear- tily congratulate them both. 1 1 1 Why is it the Blaengarw shop-keeper can't see their way clear to fall in with Pontycym- mer, and close at 12 noon on Wednesdays in- stead of 12.30 p.m. ? Ill Do they think Ponty-ites will go up by the 12 o'clock train for the purpose of shopping ? 1 1 1 We sympathise with the local baker who is often obliged to share a van with another baker on his morning rounds. 1 1 1 A prominent young lady purchased a pair of boots, and upon wearing them, found that one was minus a sole. S 1 1 Is it true she failed to attend a place of worship the following Sunday owing to a mis- hap? Ill Some soenery has been fixed up at the Ffaldau Workmen's Institute for the produc- tion of a drama. 111 A Federation member, while paying his subscription, asked a pal, "What is this for?" Ill To which his pal replied, Oh, the Christa- delphians intend performing a drama!" '7 Ill One young man in the Garw actually spends two hours nightly teaching a parrot to talk. Ill We learn that he is not progressing v4ry favourably so far, but as the allotted span of a parrot's life is 150 years, there is still some hope—for the parrot, at least! Ill All Garwites deeply sympathise with the sad home at the Police Station, Pontycymmer, and trust that the patients will have a speedy recovery. 1 1 It is surprising what sacrifices some people will make for their own entertainment. Ill Fancy a local lady disposing of her poodle dog-to raise enough funds to enable her to attend a dance. Ill On her way home was she haunted with the old song, Has anyone seen my Poodle Dog P" Ill Fancy a local railway employee taking the wrong train on returning from holidays I Ill There must have been something wrong with the railway system! Ill "Appeal from Salonica heroes." Ill It is not often that "Lloffwr Arall" makes a personal appeal in these columns. Ill This week, however, he has a special reason for doing so. Ill During the last few days he has received a personal letter from a well known Garwite, viz., Staff-Sergt. leuan Hughes, 23rd Welsh Pioneers, now at Salonika (son of Rev. and Mrs. David Hughes, Pontycymmer). Ill In this letter leuan describes the miserable situation he and some of his pals are in. 1 1 He asks some of his friends to picture them -"seven lonely machine-gunners "—flooded up to their knees in a dug-out near the firing- line, with terrific thunderstorms breaking over them. As he writes, "a young river of mud is quietly streaming down the back of his neck." Ill We regret space will not allow the letter to be published, but any reader of these notes will be only too welcome to see the letter with "Lloffwr Arall." Ill He and his pals have been straining their brain power to think what could be done to alleviate their miserable loneliness. Ill After much thinking it was unanimously decided to ask Staff-Sergeant leuan Hughes to write to Lloffwr Arall" and appeal to the patriots of the district to send them a "gramaphone and some records" just to liven I things up a bit. It may help subscriptions from our readers to know that the 23rd Welsh Pioneers it soot- posed almost entirely of men from Bridgend and district. Ill leuan says that if the appeal a fruit he can assure all that when the next spasm I takes place the boys will make it their busi- ness to see that afew "Johnny Bulgars" are reported "missing" just as a remembrance of thjeir friends from South Wales. Ill Lloffwr Arall has appointed Mr. Thomaa Williams, manager of Hodgson and Sons, clothiers, Pontycymmer, to receive subscrip- tions, the list of which will be exhibited in the window. Ill In conclusion he hopes every reader will make an effort to subscribe towards supply- ing the "gramaphone and records." 111 In our next issue we will give a report of the subscriptions.

I An interesting meeting was held at the Ogmore Vale Non-political Club and Institute on Saturday last, when Gunner D. J. Noyes, Royal Marine (H.M.S. Temeraire), and son of Mrs. Noyes, 22 Bridge Street, Ogmore Vale, was presented with a purse of gold. Mr. James Harrison presided. Mr. D. J. Mansel, in a neat little speech, made the pre- sentation on behalf of the subscribers, and Gunner Noyes suitably responded in a few well-chosen words. Speeches appropriate to the occasion were also made by Mr. Rase and Mr. J. Lewis. Awl-enjoyable musical pro- gramme followed, which included 6ongs by Messrs. G. David (Peel), W. Griffiths, Rufus Williams, J. T. Lewis, C. Keen, Bert Weeks, T. Thomas, James Rose, and Gunner Noyes. The accompanist was Mr. H. Kinsey. Gunner Noyes, who is 22, volunteered at the outbreak of war, and was in the Jutland fight. TWICE WOUNDED. I Mr. Jack Lewis, Fronwen Row, Ogmore Vale, has a son and a step-son doing their little bit for King and country. These are Signaller W. Lewis, R.F.A., and Bandsman A. Latto, 9 Rhondda Battalion. Both these lads, whose respective ages are 25 and 26, have been wounded twice. Prior to their (voluntary) enlistment they were employed at the Wyndham Colliery. Signaller Lewis held a ifreman's certificate. OGMORE VALIANS IN EGYPT. I Privates Clias. Winter and Edgar J. Coles are the son and nephew of Mr. and Mns. J. Winter, Hendre Avenue, Wyndham, Ogmore Vale. Their ages are 23 and 18 years respec- tively. Soon after the outbreak of war both joined the 1/oth Welsh Regiment, and after doing some home training they were sent to Egypt on active service, where they have been for the last ten months. During the voyage to Egypt they had the exciting experience of being chased by an enemy submarine, which fired on them, luckily without doing any harm. Pte. Winter has been in "The Citadel" hospi- tal (Cairo) on two occasions suffering from dysentery, but his many friends will be pleased to hear that he is all right again. Previous to joining the Colours both men were em- ployed as miners at the Wyndham Pits, Og- more Vale.
