BY "UNCLE iÕM,"  j BY "UNCLE TOM." j  Brecon, May 9th, 1916. My dear nephews and nieces,—I am pleased to state that some excellent essays came to hand on the subjects for competition—"Brecknock Bea- cons" and "Our Local Wells." Most of the com- petitors selected the former. Ffynnon-Gynydd school-children all wrote most interestingly about a local well, and I am pleased to note a distinct improvement in several essays which came in from the neighbourhood of Senny. Hand-writing appears to be the draw-back there, but, with practice, the competitors should reach higher positions in the list. The examiner ob- jects to double-line work. One of my nieces, Miss Primrose Farr (Crick- howell), states she feels great pleasure in attempt- ing to win the monthly prizes. This is the right spirit, Primrose, and, if you keep trying and im- proving, you are bound to be a prize-winner some day. Several of my Seony nieces wished me a happy Eastertide. Well, I thank them for their kindly thought, and hope they all had a pleasant time, too. The list of successful competitors is given be- low, and I also append the prize-winners' essays. and, probably, a few more of the very best essays. I hope to give the examiners' comments on the several efforts in the next three succeeding issues, With sincerest regards to you all, I remain, Your affectionate UNCLE TOM. P.S.—Watch next week's column for the an- nouncement of May competition.

FIRST PRIZE ESSAY.I
FIRST PRIZE ESSAY. I The Brecknock Beacons. I This range of mountains extends, east and west, in the parishes of St. David and Cantref for about 'fourteen miles. On the north side they overlook the Usk, with Brecon, the county town nestling on the bank of that river. This moun- tain range is composed of the old ted sand-stone. The northern slopes are most precipitous. The Beacons are the highest mountains in South Wales. The four chief peaks are, Y Fan Big (big peak), 2.300 ft. Cribyn, 2,608 ft.: Pen-y-Fan, 2,905 ft.; and the Fan Corn Du (black horn), 2.863 ft. These, especially the last three peaks. are well marked, and stand out boldly against the sky in a sublime view from Brecon town. Two appear like perfect cones with very pointed and pretty summits. The middle of three peaks, just referred to, and known as Pen-y-Fan. has a terrific precipice of about 200 feet on its north side. The other peaks, although not quite so abrupt, are very steep and equally grand. There is a very distinct "pass' 'over the Bea- cons-a great gap called "Bwlch-y-Fan"—'be- tween the Fan Corn Du and Pen-y-Fan. In the hollow, on the north side of Pen-y-Fan. is a pool of water, about one mile in circumference, called Llyn Cwm Slwch. A traveller, well acquainted with mountain scenery, says of these mountains, "There scarcely exists a more graceful group of heights, and their form is equal to, if not grander than, the famous heights in the Lake District of England, or those of North Wales.—Miss Hilda M. Morgan, Cefn- garth Farm, Gwenddwr.
SECOND PRIZE ESSAY. !
SECOND PRIZE ESSAY. Ffynnon-Gynydd Well. Ffynnon-Gynydd well was built by the de Winton family as a memorial to Master Walter I Fenwick de Winton, who died in Central Africa. The well is built in the fashion of a lych-gate. There is a spring over which the weM is built. The wat-er is very hard, but it is the purest water found for miles around. It is always fresh through the constant running in and out of the water. The roof is made of red tiles. There arek two seats on each side of the well. On a summer's day the well is a very welcome rest for weary travellers. There is an iron cup on a chain, from which people, drink. At the back of the well there is a tablet in the shape of a shield. It bears this inscription, "Ffynnon Cynidr, erected in loving memory of Waiter Fenwick de Winton, aged 27. who died in Central Africa, March 28th. 1892. serving God. his country, and his fellow-men. Draw water out of the wells of salvation." It is situated on Ffynnon-Gynydd Common, about two miles from Glasbury. Four roads branch off from the well, the Glas-

War Pensions. BRECONSHIRE COUNCIL'S PROTEST. THE RESOLUTIONS. At the Breconshire County Council on Friday the 'following resolutions were unanimously pass- ed in connection with the Naval and Military War Pensions Act :— (1) This council desire to express their strong protest against the policy and effect of the Naval and Military War 'Pensions etc., Act 1915, under which the pensions and grants and allowances to be made in respect of the present War to Officers and Men in the Naval and Military services of His Majesty, and their wives, widows, children and other dependants, and the care of officers and men disabled in consequence of the present war, are made to a large and unknown amount dependent on private charity instead of being wholly secured by grants of money to be made by Parliament out of Imperial Funds. Having regard to past his- tory and the failure of proper provision for our soldiers and sailors engaged in previous wars and of those dependent on them, this council are un- animously of opinion that the State should under- take the full and sole responsibility for providing for all the necessities of those who have with such great 'bravery and self-sacrifice given themselves during the present war to the service of their King and Country, and that in the case of those who have fallen in such service, full provision should be made by the State itself for their families and dependants. (2). That although hoping Parliament may be pleased to take action on the lines of the foregoing resolution this council pledges itself to devote its most earnest endeavours to carrying into effect the objects and purposes which are expressed in the Naval and Military War Pensions etc. Act 1915. (3). That this council condemn as contrary to the public interests and the fulfilment of the ob- jects set out in the Naval and Military War Pen- sions etc. Act 1915 the promotion and carrying out of any scheme unauthorised by Parliament having like objects and proposing by voluntary contributions to collect funds for purposes express- ly prescribed by Act of Parliament and placed as duties on local committees to be appointed by county and other authorities. (4). That this council expressly desire to protest against the scheme of Brigadier General Owen Thomas for safe-guarding the interests of Welsh soldiers and sailors during and after the present war on the grounds that :—(1) There are at pres- ent organisations existing and which have been at work since the commencement of the war deal- ing with the necessities of Welsh sailors, soldiers and their dependants. (2) That the after care of soldiers and sailors and their dependants is fully provided for by the Act of Parliament which ex- pressly places this duty on local committees to be established under the Act. (5). That copies of these resolutions be sent to the Prime Minister, The Chancellor of the Ex- chequer. The President of the Annv Council, The County Member (S. Robinson. Esq.. M.P.), Brigadier General Owen Thomas, The Statutory Committee of the Royal Patriotic Fund Corpora- tion, The County and County Borough Councils of Wales and Monmouthshire, The Members of Parliament for Wales and Monmouthshire, and I the Rt. Hon. W. Hayes Fisher, M.P.

I Using Up the Classics, I YSTRADGYNLAIS COUNCIL PAYS UP. Rev. John Williams wrote reminding Ystrad- gynlais Council, on Thursday, that he had not re- ceived £1 12s 6d as rent which was due to him. The following is part of his letter :Only gods can notice sparrows. As, however, they are men I thought it possible for them to lapse now and then, as many other great men had. Homer nods occasionally. Achilles was mortal about the ankles, King Alfred the Great allowed the cakes to burn, Alexander the Great got drunk now and then, Richard the III., with his hump and other things, prayed 'Shine out, fair sun, till I have bought a glass that I may see my shadow as I pass,' and even Gulliver in Lilliput was not faultless. Your councillors might have found some comfort in reflecting on these and their like, that is, if in a moment of condescension they forgot their dignity, but comfort of this kind is not synonymous with duty. The council, profoundly impressed, decided to pay up at once.
I THIRD PRIZE ESSAY. I
THIRD PRIZE ESSAY. I The Brecknock Beacons. I This range of mountains stretches east and west across the county of Brecknock. On the north side they overlook the Vale of Usk, with Brecon, the county town, nestling on the bank of that river. The southern slopes of these moun- tains are quite bare of trees but the. northern slopes are more precipitous, and woods, copses, and good farm lands cover the base, which stretches along the river Usk. It has been said of these mountains that there scarcely exists a more graceful group of heights, and their form is equal to, if not grander than, the heights in the Lake District of England. The Beacons are the highest mountains in South Wales. The view, from the top, well repays the task of climbing, for, if the air is clear, you. will see down to the Bristol Channel, and over into thirteen or fourteen counties. The four chief peaks are Y-Fan-Big, 2,300 ft.: Cribyn, 2,608 ft.; Pen-y-Fan, 2,905 ft.; and the Fan-Corn-Du, 2,863 ft. Two of these peaks are cone-shaped with very pointed and pretty summits, and the peak, known as Pen-y-Fan, has a terrific precipice of about two hundred feet. But, apart from their beauty, this range of mountains forms a grand gathering ground for the reservoirs of the Cantref Waterworks that sup- ply Cardiff, and those of Merthyr Tydfil Water- works, and, also, the Neath and Pontyrpidd Waterworks in the Ystradfellte Valleys, they are also the sources of many small but pretty riv- ers.—Miss Eleanor G. Evans, Upper Chapei.

.n. Counties' Asylum. Appreciation of Dr. Pugh & Staff INTERESTING ANNUAL REPORT. In the thirteenth annual report ot the Visiting Committee to the Brecon and Radnor Joint Counties' Asylum at Talgarth, very high tributes are paid to Dr. Pugh and his staff, both by the Visiting Committee and Mr Sidney Coupland, a Commissioner of the Board of Control. The letter says :—"For three months after the outbreak of war, Dr. Pugh was unable to secure the services of an assistant medical officer in place of Dr. Drummond. In February, he was fortunate to obtain the appointment of Dr. Lucien Bury, a Belgian medical man, but this gentleman has recently left, having been called to the colours. Dr. Pugh hopes to secure another Belgian doctor shortly. Much credit is due to Dr. Pugh for carrying on the responsible duties of his office, as well as those of a colleague, for so many weeks, and the condition of the institution to-day is evidence of the self-sacrificing labour he has expended on its maintenance and good order." The Visiting Committee says :—"The manage- ment of the Asylum continues to be ably carried out by the medical superintendent, Dr. Pugh, and the committee wish to express their particular appreciation of his services, and of the services of the other officers and the whole of the staff, so cheerfully and efficiently performed under cir- cumstances of special difficulty." Other Particulars. The committee, in the course of their report, says :—"The number of patients admitted during the year was 123 males and 32 females-total, 55-cliargable as follows :—Unions in the county of Brecon, 36; Unions in the county of Radnor, 16; Swansea Corporation (under contract), 29; Lancashire County Asylum, Rainhill (under con- tract). 2 and Cardiff Mental Hospital (under contract), 72. There were 41 discharges and 53 deaths. At the end of the year, there were re- maining in the Asylum 260 males and 178 females —total, 438. The male wards were therefore crowded to the extent of 46 patients, and there were 10 vacancies for female patients. This over- crowding, on the male side, is due to the recep- tion of a large number of male pateints from the Cardiff Mental Hospital to allow of its conversion into a war hospital for the treatment of wounded soldiers and sailors. A number of asylums throughout the country have been vacated for the same purpose, on the suggestion of the Commis- sioners of the Board of Control. The daily aver- age number of patients resident during the year 1915 has been 416, as against 373 for the year 1914. During the year the profits on out-county and private patients amounted to £ 1.331 Os 8d, as against £1,541 lis 5d for 1914, a falling off due to the increased cost of maintenance. The whole of the profits, i.e., £ 1,331 Os 8d, has been transferred to the buildings and repairs fund account, in ac- cordance with the provisions of the Lunacy Act. However, the sum of £ 1.000 from the balance of this account was, on the 18th December, 1915, or- dered by the Visiting Committee to be paid over to the treasurers of the joint counties. The cost of Tepairs to the Asylinu premises during the year amounted to £ 1,286 9s lid, and the calls on the joint counties in this respect amounted to £ 965 158 5d, the balance of X320 14s 6d being met by amounts received for rents, bank interest, and compensation for loss of the Asylum hay barn by fire. The call on the joint counties, on account of additions, alterations and improvements, amounted to R112 4s 7d. De- putations from Boards of Guardians have visited the Asylum, as usual, and recorded their satisfac- tion with the care and treatment of the patients. The rate of maintenance charged to the Boards of Guardians was increased from 11/9 to 12/2 on the 1st January, 1915, and was again increased to 12/9 on the 1st July, 1915, in consequence of the high prices of provisions, coal, &c., prevailing. Your committee have, during the year, carried out negotiations with the representatvies of Montgomeryshire, with a view to union for asylum purposes. The result of these negotiations has formed the subject of a special report to the joint counties. The absence of a large number of the male staff on duty with His Majesty's Forces, and the dif- ficulty in obtaining men to temporarily re-place them, ha-s entailed much extra responsibility and work on the other members of the staff remaining, and it is gratifying to report that the work has been willingly and efficiently done. Your commit- tee regret to report that two members of the Asylum staff, Mr James H. Smith, gardener, and Attendant Wm. Lloyd, have died at Aden whilst on active service with His Majesty's Forces. Commissioner's Remarks. From an entry made in the visitors' book by one of His Majesty's Commissioners of the Board of Control, we learn that, owing to the reception of Cardiff patients, it happens that, whereas there is still vacant sleeping accommodation on the female side for 15 cases, this accommodation has been exceeded on the male side to the extent of 42 beds. The addition of three or four beds in each dormitory, and the placing of beds in the single-room corridors, has enabled this to be done without any notable appearance of over-crowding. Indeed, so far as sleeping accommodation is con- cerned, it would be possible to considerably ex- tend this by utilising the recreation hall, which had been on the point of conversion into a hospi- tal ward Ifor the wounded, when the need for such a purpose was superseded by the more general scheme now in being. As regards day ac- commodation, there are only two wards-Nos. 1 lfnd 3—on the male side at present somewhat over- crowded, and, as at this season the patients are out of doors during the greater part of the day, no inconvenience is felt from this condition of things. During my visit I have seen all the patients, with the exception of three on the male side who were out on parole. I found them all content- ed, and from none did I receive any complaint. They presented a tidy and well-cared-for appear- ance, were quiet and orderly in behaviour, and, with the exception of only seven patients (five males and two females) who were confined to bed in the infirmary wards, were all in good health. Nor were any of these in bed, most of whom were the subjects of senile debility, seriously ill. From the annual return, it appears that as many as 89 per cent. of the patients attended the Church Of England services during 1914. There were 45 patients of the Roman Catholic faith, for whom a service is held by a priest once a month, whilst 204 patients usually attend the Nonconformist bi-weekly services. Both priest and minister are paid for their services. There was an equally good attendance at the weekly entertainments, and, it is interesting to note, that as many as 90 per cent. of the patients us- ually walk out weekly beyond the Asylum estate, whilst only 2 per cent. are not usually taken be- yond the wards and airing courts. The statistics of employment are also very encouraging and satisfactory. There is no record of seclusion or mechanical restraint. No fewer than 20 members, including the as- sistant medical officer, have left to give their ser- vices to the Army. This has, naturally, con- siderably affected the personnel of the male mem- bers of the staff and the proportionate duration of their services. Nevertheless, at the commence- ment of the year, when the return was made, 50 per cent. of the attendants had been in the Asylum service for more than five years, and 27 per cent. showed less than one year's service. Of the nurses, these percentages were 38 and 29, re- spectively. The proportion of the day staff to patients during 1914 was 1 to 10. but, at the pre- sent tl me, the staff is not up to its full number, owing to the difficulty in obtaining applicants. The Amalgamation with Mont- gomery. BOARD OF CONTROL CONSIDERS PROPOSALS ADVANTAGEOUS. At the Brcconshirc County Council, on Friday, a communication, dated 19th April, was read from the office of the Board of Control, inform- ing the council that on the 12th inst. a deputa- tion of members of the Visiting Committee of the Brecon and Radnor Asylum attended at that office and had an interview with regard to the proposed agreement for the two counties to unite with Montgomeryshire for the joint use of the Asylum. The Board, after considering the state- ments made to them by the deputation and the

1- The New Commander. CAREER OF THE HON. WILLIAM BAILEY. Major, the Hon. William Bailey, who succeeds Lord Kensington in the command of the first line unit of the Welsh Horse, now on active service, is the second son of the late Lord Glan isk (frst baron), and in peace time lives at Glanusk Park with his brother, Lieutenant-Colonel Lord Glan- usk, who is now on active service :n coaimr.nd of the Brecknock Territorial Battalion of the South Wales Borderers. He threw in his lot with the Welsh Horse at the formation of the regiment, and was appointed second in command. He was born 48 years ago, and, joining the 11th Hussars as a second-lieutenant in February, 1888, he re- tired with the rank of major in March, 1908, and was placed in the Reserve of officers. He served with his regiment on the north-west frontier of India in 1897-1898, for which he received the campaign medal with clasp. For two periods he was on foreign service in South Africa, and also served in Egypt from 1898 to 1902. He is a jus- tice of the peace for the county of Brecknock and a member of the county council, of which his bro- ther, Lord Glanusk, is chairman.

Ulcer from Knee to Ancle. ZAM-BUK PREVENTS AMPUTATION AND SAVES THE LIMB. How a Thames lighter-man saved his leg from amputation was revealed to a London Press repre- sentative, when he had a chat with Mr E. T. Pring, of 50, Edward Street, Barking Road, Plaistow. "Five little sores broke out on my right leg," said Mr Pring, who has worked for many years on Thames coal barges. "Two similar places," he went on, "also came on my left leg. They be- gan to discharge, and grew so large that my right leg was one continuous ulcer from knee to ankle. All this part of the limb turned quite black, and seemed absolutely putrid. The place was con- tinually discharging. "My right leg got so bad that I really thought I should have to have it amputated. The two ulcers on the left leg were almost as bad. Work was out of the question. "I tried several ointments for a long time, but without the least benefit. One day, however, my son-in-law brought me some Zam-Buk, with which I dressed my legs. This balm drew out the cor- ruption from the diseased parts in a surprising way. Besides cleansing the ulcers, Zam-Buk also soothed the burning pain, and as I kept on with Zam-Buk I could see improvement every day. Zam-Buk carried on its healing mission until the holes filled up with firm, healthy flesh, over which clear, new skin grew. I stand to-day, free from pain, and completely cured by Zam-Buk of about the worst ulcerated leg any man could have." Mr Pring's wonderful experience will give hope to other sufferers. No other substance possesses the same healing powers as Zam-Buk, which will cure the most obstinate case of eczema (especially workshop eczema), ringworm, piles, poisoned wounds, etc., and prevent any recurrence of the trouble.

REGIMENTAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE. BRECON v. HAY. This match was played on the Regimental Ground on Monday, the 3rd April, 1916. The teams lined up under Sergt.-Major C. Green as follows Brecon Goal, Lichfield: backs. D. G. Davies, 2nd Lieut. R. F. Garnons Williams halves, W. J. Davies, Thorogood and J. H. Davies; forwards, J. C. Jones, Jenkins, T. Williams, J. Martin. Hay Goal, Woodley; backs, Bug. Price and A. H. Lewis; halves, Thomas, Bannister and God- dard; forwards, Carter, Baldwin, Muddiman, Crompton and H. T. Lewis. Bannister won the toss and decided to play with his back to the sun. Several runs were put in by both sides, the backs tackling and clearing well. From a hard high drive by Thomas, that looked like going well over the bar, the ball was kept in play by the wind ,dropping on the bar and re-bound- ing into play, Muddiman getting to the ball netted. From the kick-off "A" made tracks towards Wood- ley. Martin centring, and Lewis clearing. Jenkins with a long kick put Tim Williams in motion and with a short pass to Davies who put forward, the former got through and scored. Half-time, 1 goal each. On change of ends alternate runs made things interesting, neither side gaining superiority until the half was twenty minutes old, when Jones on the right centred, D. J. Davies trapping and putting his side in front. About ten minutes from time another centre from the right wing was converted by Tim Williams, who took the pass on the turn, deceiving the goalie. From now until time was called "D" pressed but failed to score. "A" Company 3; "D" Company 1. CRICKHOWELL v. YSTRADGYNLAIS. Played on the Regimental football ground on 4/4/16. The teams were not at full strength. This was the last match of "H's" league fixtures, "C" having still one more game to play. The play in mid-field was quite good and fairly even. Shortly after the start 1. Bevan receiving from thirty yards out. ran between the backs and scored. "C" had hard lines in not finding the net, Holland putting inches over. Taylor kept his for- wards on the move, and passed to I. Bevan, who got away and netted the second goal. Before the half closed the same player netted the third from a pass by Edwards. Half-time: "H" 3; "C" nil. The second half wa.s practically a repetition of the first half, and had not been in progress long when a movement was initiated on the right. Ratcliffe swung across, the. ball dropping just in front of the goal mouth, Bevan only having to touch it in. Shortly afterwards this same player with an individual effort ran through and put up the fifth goal. The same player scored the sixth and last just on time. I think bad the goalie gone out to meet Bevan he would have saved at least three of the goals. Teains.-Ystradg,N-nla's Goal, Davies; backs.

Evans and A. Prosser; forwards, Tho- mas, Edwards, Corpl. Aldridge. Llewellyn and Fowler. 1 and 2 Goal, Lichfield: backs. P. T. Jenkins and D. G. Davies; halves. W. J. Davies (Mickey), Tim Williams and Thorogood: forwards, J. C. Jones, W. B. Martin. D. J. Davies. J. H. Wood an d Sergt. J. Martin. Aldridge won the toss and decided to play with his back to the sun, and with the wind slightly in his favour. D. J. Davies kicked off. Martin took the ball a few yards, when he was robbed by Evans, this player -sending the ball well up the field. Jenkins returned to Wood, and, after some passing between him and Martin, they got past Buller, only to find E. R. Williams at home. Some good runs were put in by both sides, but the backs were very sound. It was not until the game had been in progress some thirty minutes that D. J. Davies enticed Williams from his charge, only to touch past him into the net. A run, initiated by Powell, came within an ace of scoring, the ball going the wrong side of the post. Shortly afterwards ano- ther promising movement was spoilt by Fowler lying off-side. Half-time: "A" 'Company. 1 goal; "B" Com- pany, nil. On change of ends "B" strove hard to equalise and monopolised the play for some time. A splendid chance to soorewas lost through Powell taking the ball from Aldridge's toe when in the act of shooting, and putting it over the bar. A few moments after another good opening was nul- lified by Edwards being off-side. Thomas missed a beautiful chance, putting yards wide when he j had only the goalie to beat. The leather was transferred to the other end, Sergt. Martin shot, and goalie cleared. D. J. Davies trapped and with a high dropping shot from 25 yards out found the net. "B" came again but Lichfield was very safe. A pleasant game came to an end with "A" leading by 2 goals to nil. "B" were very unlucky to lose and think a draw would have represented the trend of the game. Regimental Football League Table (to-date). I ? a S « Coals I  5 §  Teams S ? ? A .4 § SO .iS s P?

COUNTIES' ASYLUM—Continued. facts fully set out by the Visiting Committee in their special report of the 25th September, were of opinion on this point, the Board would strong- would be advantageous to all the parties con- cerned. With regard to the actual terms propos- ed. the Board could not say more than that they appeared to be on the face of them fair and reasonable. If, however, there were a difference of opinion on this point, the Board woudl strong- ly urge that the question of value, and any other question which might be in dispute, should be re- ferred to an arbitrator to settle, holding, as they did. that it would be most unfortunate if the negotiations for union were broken off on account of any such differences. The Board would be willing, if desired, to give any assistance in its power towards bringing about a satisfactory ar- rangement. Hon. R. C. Devereux said, as a member of the deputation, the letter merely embodied the im- pression they took away after the interview. There was no difficulty on the part of the Brecon- shire Visiting Committee and he thought there was no unwillingness on the part of the County Council to support the recommendations of the committee—to conclude this agreement. They were satisfied no better terms could be got. It was only Radnorshire that was recalcitrant and held out, and now, from this letter and the con- ference with the Board of Control, they came to the conclusion that the Board of Control were. as far as possible, on their side in this matter. He advised the council to accept the principle of ar- bitration. The majority of the Visiting Commit- tee would be perfectly willing to agree to arbi- tration. A similar note had been seijt to the Radnorshire Council, and they would discuss it at their next meeting. They would accept the theory of arbitration 0 or else refuse. He moved that they consent to accept the principle dfar- bitration. Mr W. S. Miller seconded, rema-rking I think it would facilitate matters if we accept the prin- ciple of arbitration. I don't think it will come to arbitration all the same, but we would like to have the power to do so if it came to it. The resolution wai agreed to.
