Over 20 members were now serving their King and country in various ways at the present crisis, and their ranks had thus been depleted consider- ably. HIGH SHERIFF'S SON.-The marriage took place, at Zoar Welsh Congregational Chapel, Merfchyr- Tydfil, on Wednesday, of Lieutenant Griffith Llewellyn, fourth son of Mr Rees Llewellyn, J.P., and Mrs Llewellyn, Bwllfa House.

Jenkins pre- sided at the organ. The ceremony was a very quiet one, the only guests being member" of the respective families. Nevertheless, considerable interest was shown in it, both bride and bride- groom being well-known and respected in the neighbourhood, the bridegroom being a son of the present high-sheriff of Breconshire and a member of the firm of Messrs. Gwilym James, Charles and Davies, solicitors, Merthyr Tydfil. INFANTS' LOYALTY.—The little ones of Mount Street School looked forward to St. David's Day, many of them wearing daffodlls4 and some leeks —the nature lessons for the week. The story of St. David was told to the higher classes by Mrs Fisher, Miss Wheeler taking the lower classes. Afterwards, all assembled in the large room, when the following songs were sung, viz., "Gentle bird," "Daughter of Megan," "The lark," "All through the night." "The miller's daughter," "The Ash Grove," "God bless the Prince of Wales," and "Land of my Fathers." Laurel wreaths, for those who had given their lives for their country, were shown to the little ones, and, afterwards, placed in the different classes. Seven were from these schools, three of whom went tlirou-h the,infants' school. The proceedings were very impressive, the little ones seeming iaj UUUCI- stand and giving close attention. Afterwards Lord Glanusk's hymn, "Oh men of England, trust in God," was sung, and, also, the National Anthem. Miss Price acted as accompanist. ST. DAVID.—St. David's Day celebrations at Llanfaes Council School were based on the book of Patriotism." issued by the Welsh Depart- ment. Lessons on patriotism were given during the week to the classes by members of the staff. These lessons were particularly referred to and given on Saint David's Day. Other lessons were based on Saint David's Dav, as, in the drawing, when the scholars drew the Dragon and the leek, which they also painted in the brushwork lesson. Patriotic Welsh songs were also sung, and spec- ial attention was drawn by the headmaster (Mr A. J. Corbett) to St. David's Day and the "Roll of Honour. "Thé list contained names of one hundred "Old Boys" of the school, who were serv- ing with the colours. The girls had made wreaths of laurel leaves, and these were put round the names of Pte. Frank Richards, S.W.B., who was killed in Gallipoli. and Pte. Percy Bates, R.F.A., who died of wounds received in action in France. The accompanist was Miss M. Bate. Similar proceedings were held in the Infants' De- partment. The children were given the usual half-holiday. ARTISTIC .-Some remarkably clever cartoons of the war have been drawn by a young local artist, Mr Trevor Davies of Lion street. One of these received hearty commendation from Mr Pratt, a Scotch Member of Parliament, who visited a Mon- mouthshire town recently to speak on behalf of the Minister of Munitions. The cartoon represented a German sailor with a cap marked "Democ- racy." He is in a boat inscribed "Germany," and has just thrown overboard a man with the unmistakeable face and figure of the Kaiser,, but the drowning man is marked "Hohenzollern Dynasty," showing the whole family axe to be got rid of. The angry sailor is pointing his finger at the man in the water and denouncing him with the words—"This storm is all through you. Get out!" As the frightened Kaiser splashes in the water he still tries to shake his "iron fist." The boat is now heading towards a harbour mark- ed "Peace Congress," where John Bull, staunch as ever, stands chuckling at the scene and say- ing "Now, we may talk over matters." The cartoon is not only amusing, but the picture has pathos and may prove prophetic. The young ar- tist has cleverly depicted "The European Jonah," and his probable fate. FOR THE WOUNDED.—A most successful. tea and entertainment, hi connection with Bethel C.M. Church, was held at Bethel Hall, on Wednesday, when wounded soldiers from the Depot to the number of about seventy were entertained. The event was organised by the ladies of the church, to whom much credit is due for the efficient man- ner in which all the arrangements in connection with the tea, etc., were carried out. An excellent programme was arranged for the subsequent en- tertainment which was largely attended and much enjoyed by the wounded "Tommies." Mr Roy Parry presided, and the programme was as fol- lows :-Pianoforte solo, Master Frank Morgan; solo, Miss May Lewis; violin solo, Sergt. Angus; recitation, Miss Nora Parry: comic song. Corpl. Williams: solo, Miss Eira Evans; comic song, Corpl. Shine; violin solo, Sergt. Angus; solo, Pte. McGowan; recitation, Corpl. Smvthers; duet, Misses Rosie Jones and Lily Jenkins; comic song, Corpl. Williams; solo, Miss Davies. Llechfaen; comic song, Corpl. Shine; recitation, Pte. Phil- lips solo. Pte. McGowan: Welsh song in charac- ter, Miss Rowlands. A vote of thanks to the lad- ies of the church for getting up the entertainment, and providing the tea. was proposed by Mr Llew. Williams (Danycefn). seconded by Corpl. Wil- liams, and carried with acclamation. A similar vote to the chairman was proposed by Supt. S. Jones, and seconded by Mr John Morgan. MOUNT STREET SCHOOL.—Saint David's Day celebrations by the mixed department of this school were of an unusual character. The first part was really a service to the memory of old boys, who had given their lives for their King and Country. Laurel wreaths were placed in posi- tion by Mr Fisher (headmaster) in memory of Sergeant Clifford, Pte. Cripps, Pte Cyril Isaac, Sergt. James James. Pte. Basel Griffiths, Pte. Williams and Pte. Keith. The "Roll of Hon- our," which is a very long one, was read, the boys and girls standing at attention. The following Welsh airs were sung by the children, viz.. "St. David's Day," "Hob y derry Dando," "Rising of the lark." "Men of Harlech," "The Ash Grove," "Bells of Aberdovey," "Hen Wlad fy Nhadau," and "God bless the Prince of Wales." Miss L. Powell gave a very interesting address on the late Mr David Jenkins. Wales' modern musician, who was born at Trecastle, and Mr Fisher also gave a short address on St. David, and what Mount Street boys were doing in the great war. In conclusion he impressed upon the child- ren the stem duty of practising economy in every possible way against the hard times which would follow in the wake of this dreadful war. The proceedings closed with the singing of the National Anthem, and every boy and girl saluted the Roll of Honour" as he or'she passed out of school.
