Demobilisation of Officers.
Demobilisation of Officers. REQUEST TO EMPLOYERS. With the »udde!i transition from war to peace, the problem of demobilisation assumes at once a position of paramount importajice. Fortunately, the schemes for itlas gagantio undertaking have been the subjoet of long and careful consideration, and ho efforts have bten scared to ensure that they should be carried out Bflioothly and with arf little delay as possible. In the case of officers and N.C.O.'s, and men of simi- lar educational standard, their interests are being dealt with by the Appointments Depa.rtment, of the Ministry of LaIA)iir. The work of this organisation u divided in- to two main branches, that of providing training for those who require it and can ben tit by it. and that of finding employment for those whose qualifications are isiii-h a.s tu tit them for professional or business appoint- ments. The headquarters of the Appointments Department are at Grosham House. Old Broad Street, E.C. 2. and for adminltrative purposes the British Isles hare been divided into elerun directorates. There are in addition two otlter directorates dealing with openings in the Colonies and the outer world. Directorate IV. com- poses the whole of Wales a.nd Monmouthshire, and all enquiries from those who are resident in this district should be addressed to the District irector, Bank Buildings. St. Mary's Street, Cardiff. In order to facilitate the process of demobilisation it is of great importance, both from the point of view of the individual and in the interests of the country at large, that the return to training, or to previous occupation, should be carried out as expeditiously as military conditions will permit, and in cases where vacancies have been retained, or po.-»ts are unfilled, or ■where training ha« been interrupted and should be re- sumed at the earliest possible date, employers are re- quested to apply for forms of application, providing at the same time full particulars of their requirements, to the District Director at the offices above-mentioned.
Congregationalism.  Congregationa!ism.j
Congregationalism.  Congregationa!ism. THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS. The Bre.eovLshire Welsh Congregational Association betd its quartely meetings at Cwmwysg on the 6th and 7th in-at. In the absence of the chairman for the cur- rent year, Rev. J. C. Jones presided at the conference. Mr Jones was cordially welcomed into the association as pastor of two churches which are very much alive to need of the times. Owing to the. clashing of vital interests in the counties, on Wednesday, the at- 1 tendance at the conference was meagre and disappoint- ing. For this reason matters arising out of the minutes wer not fully discussed, and was deferred to the next meeting—to be held at Llangynidr in the spring of 1919. At that meeting the Rev. J. C. Jones, Trecastle, will preach the missionary sermon. Rev. R. Willianlb,, Devynock, on a isubject given him by the Church calling the meeting, and Rev. T. Gwydrim Davies., Treduatan, will prepare a paper to be read at the conference on "The League of Nations from the Christian stand- point." The following resolution was submitted and pars- ed-That this conference heartily supports the movement to form a League of Free Nations of the World as the only effective method to secure lasting peace, and pledges itself te do all in its power to pro- mote it. Further, it appeals respectfully to His. Ma- jesty's Government to deelaire their acceptance of the principle of the League, and then resolve to have it embodied in the terms of peace." Ministers were urg- ed to enlist the sympathy of the, Churches, and in every possible way to support the movement. Sympathetic reference was made to families. who have lost sons in the war. Mention was made of the late Lieut. Mozart Jones, the gifted wn of the late Mr W. Jones, Blaenau, who recently died of wounds, bnt left a fragrant memory: Mr D. Davies, Felingarth, and Mr Bvan Williams, Glancammarch, both of Betilah, who have la/tely Jos.t a ston each in the war. Mr John Phil- lips, son of Mr Phillips, Wernos, Crickadarn, is report- ed missing. Reference was also made to the death of (Mrs Williams, Tanyrallt, Troedrhiwdalar, widow of the lata Mr Williams., son of the late patriarch, Rev. David Williams. Rev. R. James, Llanwrtyd, a veteran whose long pastorate and faithful service makes his presence at quarterly meetings a mabter of course, his absence of late has shown that he, too, is failing and is missed Preaching services were held at Trecastle and Cwm- wysg on Wednesday evening, and at Cwmwysk all day Thursday, when Revs. R. WilLiams, E. T. Parry D. Lloyd and D. H. Williams, Trecastle (C.M.) took part. There were, present at the conference, in addition to those named above, Messrs. David Davies, David Evans, Thomas Price and Gomer G. Jones, and Miss Evans, Miss. Jones and Mrs Davies. Rev. J. C. Jone, and Mr Gomer G. Jones welcomed the delegates on their arrival to Inucheon at the Ves- try. Hospitality had been provided on Thursday at the Council School. The Church and Pastor, and the ladies who served at the tables, had earned the gratitude of the and were thanked for the welcome ac- corded to the delegates. Owing to war conditions, it ■requires real courage -to undertake extra responsibility in the matter of hospitality just now. Cwmwysg did wdl-worthy of its past. The services were well attend- ed, and the weather was exceptionally good. 1

GOLDEN WEDDING. -I
GOLDEN WEDDING. I VETERAN PASTOR'S CELEBRATION. To their wide circle of friends, as well as to their own family, the celebration of the golden wedding of the Rev. D. A. Griffith and Mrs Griffith, last Sunday, was an event of the greatest interest. The Rev. D. A. Griffith is one ot the best known and popular ministers in Welsh Congregational circles. In 1911 he filled the chair of the Welsh Congregational Union. Heofficially represented the Union at the Coronation of King George and at the investiture of the Prince of Wales at Carnarvon. Mr Griffith is one of the few remaining original members of the Breconshire County Council. He entered the Memorial College, Brecon, as a student, in 1861, and was ordained to Troedrhiwdalar live years later, succeeding the renowned David Williams the Patriarch of Wales." Not long since his pastorate jubilee was celebrated, and honour was done him by the old students of tho Memorial College (of which he is secretary) in presenting him with his portrait in oils. Despite his advanced years, Mr Griffith is still remarkably active and vivacious. Mrs Griffith is a Llanwrtyd lady, being the only daughter of tho late Mr Edward Jones, draper, and Mrs Jones, Llanwrtyd. They have eight children, five sons and three daughters, namely, Messrs. Ed. Irvon (N. P. and U. Bank, Pontypridd), D. W. Avan (N. P. and U. Bank, Black- wood), A. Llewelyn (Buffalo, U.S.A.), J. Albert (Barclay.s Bank, Pembroke Dock), and Jansen M. (Lloyd's Bank, Llandrindod Wells), Miss S. E. Griffith (sister at Parcwern Hospital, Swansea), Miss Susie (nurse in Long Island, New York), and Miss Gwladys, who lives at home. It is interesting to reproduce a newspaper cutting dated November, 1S6S. It reads ItS followsLlan- wrtyd Wells-NLiptial Rejoicings. The firing of guns and hurrahs from a dense crowd of people, on Tuesday last, broke the spell of wintry dullness which reigns over this wild, romantic little nook of Breconshire. It was the marriage day of the Rev. D. A' Griffith, of Troedrhiwdalar—a yonng man who is greatly respected by all the iieighbourhood--an(I Miss S. Jonee, the daughter of Mr Jones, draper, of Llanwrtyd, a young lady kwhose good name and beneficent kindness are in every mouth. The nuptial ceremony was per- formed by the venerable Mr Williams, of Troedriw- dalar,in the presence of the Registrar (the Rev. J. Griffiths, of Llancoity, the Rev. E. Jones, of Llan- gadoc, and the Rev. W. Jansen Daries, of LlandoTery. Evidently the young married pair were favourites in the place, as every child who could anyhow manage to creep to the door, shouted to the utmost of his little lungs, Long life and happiness to the bride and bridegroom.' We have only to reiter, to the same sentiments, and with tiiem every prosperity and joy.. That may they possess good health, a happy home, tich happiness, and at last a glorious heaven, is the ardent wish of Nesnaj." There must have been, beside the firing of guns" and hurrahs," a Teritable barrage of the I proverbial sunshine on the happy bride, for never were wishes of little children and others of that day more fully realised. It was a happy family gathering at home" last Sunday. Father and mother were made the recipients of a handsome present as a token of their sons and daughters fitial love and respect. To- I gether with them and their host of friends in Mid- Wales and elsewhere we join in the congratulations and best wishes for the happy couple's peaceful evening.

IRoad Transport.
I Road Transport. 1 BAKERS TO MEET. A meeting of the Area Road Transport Committee was held at Llandrindod Wells on Wedoetday last. Mr T. Norton. J.P., presided. The executive officer (Mr Alfred Swash) reported that information had been received from the Controller of Horse Transport, with regard to winter serial ration- ing, and that horses. used solely or mainly for trade or business purposes daily ration of oats. had been in- creased by 2 lbs. over the summer allowance, and for light horses or cobs in category c the additional allow- ance was three lbs. a day. It was reported that the Order limiting the road transport vehicles to 10 miles had been indefinitely post- poned. It must, however, be borne in mind that the need for economy is just as urgent now as hitherto, and this urgency musit continue to exist for a considerable period. The registration of road transport vehicles is to be continued, and should be as complete and accurate as passible, and owners who have not yet complied by re- gistering should do so without delay. The rates of hire, more particularly dealing with the cost of haulage' for Coal, was again considered, and, generally speaking, it was felt that the charges pre- vailing in the majority of towns and districts in the area were fair, excepting the rates charged at Llan- drindod Wells, which were above those in other dis- tricts. On the proposition cf Mr James Carey, it was resolv- ed that Mr T. Norton be requested to draw the atten- tion of the Llandrindod Wells Fuel and Lighting Com- mittee to the matter, with the hope of t-hor dealing with same. With regard to the supply of petrol, it was stated that where any hardship was experienced sympathetic consideration would be given to any traders, and it was thought that in January next tihe petrol supply would be considerably improved. The committee will also be pleased to consider at a later date application from traders, or owners of com- mereial or public utility vehicles, who do not at pre- sent hold licences. It was hoped to fix a meeting of bakers from Brecon, Talgarth, and Hay a.t an early date, at which the Mayor cf Brecon has consented to preside.
