It is Said -
It is Said That four men spent two solid hours on Saturday afternoon in trying to sneak into btradey Park to see the cricket match without paying. t That the price of admission was not five guineas but only five pence. That cricket and football can do with- out the patronage of "sportsmen" of this type.. ♦ That they looked very sheepish every time the club officials approached to "Head them off." That a photographer is taking snap- shots of players on the green at Pare Howard to be published later on as a guide to physical training. That the attitude of some of the players is certainly worthy of reproduction. That it would be an additional attrac- tion if the gramophone could reproduce some of the "original remarks" heard as the woods roll up to the Jack. That what with the action and the ac- companying patter, the spectators get a real good show for nix. That short skirts are now making their reappearance. That this will suit some people down to the ground. That the Burry Port Council meeting -on. Wednesday was a real "hush affair." That it is more than probable that some Burry Portians know more about the "hush subject" than some of the councillors do. That the "Star" reporter present wondered whether any "copy" would he available of the meeting. That after the "electrifying state- me lts" ceasoo, volumes of "gas" once Itttte escaped, and the reporter's face one:) more beamed with smiles. That even in Llanelly there is a clique of women-haters. That one of tho members described flappers as that weird, paradoxical thing with a face of flagrant innocence and the brains of an errand boy. That people will soon be wondering what the errand boy will have to say to this. That a young lady clerk not so far from the "Star" Office., now boasts of only smoking ten cigarettes a day. That she has been advised by a male friend not to be so "Victor"-ian in her habits. < that a young shop assistant has be- come infatuated with the charms of a young lady from Station road. That while her would-be lover was en- joying a dip in the briny on Tuesday, he uickly eloped with the young lady. TLat the unfortunate lover now con- .00I0o himself with that old proverb-For after the day there's a "Bill" to pay. That the friends of a local spark are wondering what happened to his socks kit Sunday morning. That he paraded the streets in the morning minus them-but found the ex- perienco very uncomfy. That in the afternoon he wore his sister's plaited stockings, and judging by the way he exhibited them, he greatly ap- preciated her taste in hosiery. That there was a very rowdy set of fcnuts and flappers in Stepney street on Monday night. That many young maidens failed to muster enough courage to pass them. That they preferred €o retrace their footsteps before coming withing hailing distance. That a well known flpper complains of being frequently drawn over the coals in this column. That she vows vengeance in some form or another. That a young man chose a very peculiar way of enjoying himself at Pare Howard on Thursday. « That he gave a much appreciated ex- hibition of swimming strokes. That it was rather inconsiderate to choose the ash-path on which to pose. That possibly the fact that he was wearing khaki was responsible for his in- discretion. That a Burry Port munitionette used some very "high" language on Wednes- day night. That she proudly informed her ad- mirer that she had a home which was by far too good for her. 4 That judging from the sentiments used we agree with her.

Local h v nt!cn To Revolutionize Motor Travelling. I A L100,000 Company formed. IVe are informed that yesterday in London a private company with a capital of £ 100,000 was formed for the purpose of purchasing and de- veloping a most ingenious invention in the shape of a self-sealing pneu- matic tube. This tube, it is believed, will revolutionize motor travelling,1 both for pleasure and commercial uses, and will prove to be the great- est boon to motorists since the intro- duction of the pneumatic tyre. Puncture troubles with all their at- tendant inconvenience, expense and delay are practically eliminated. This remarkable invention is the essence of simplicity, requiring no solution or other preparations, being simply a combination of rubber and air. Most exhaustive tests under the supervision of the foremost motor engineering authorities in the King- dom have been carried out with highly gratifying results. The in- ventor of this remarkably clever device is an old and esteemed Llan- ellyite in the person of Mr. Isaac Benjamin, Murray street. Patents have been granted in Great Britain, the United States of America, and over forty other coun- tries. The formation of the Com- pany is in the hands of Mr. J. H. lies, a prominent figure in London financial circles. The negotiations have been brought about by Mr. Harry Weight, Pnnarth, and Mr. T. Williams, Auctioneer, Llanelly. Mr D. Jennings is the solicitor acting for the vendor, and Messrs. Sharp, Pritchard and Co. are acting for the purchasers.
Wages of Steel I Workers.
Wages of Steel I Workers. To the Editor of the "Star." II Sir, I notice in the last issue of the "Star" an announcement in regard to the wages of steel workers, and that the Court of Arbitration refused to grant any con- cessions on the "flowing" and "bottom- ing" rates. I am very disappointed at the wea kness of our officials in putting our cas,3 forward, but perhaps in face of such glaring mis-statements as to tonnage rates, this is not to be won- dered at, and there may be some excuse for them. As a steelworker myself, I think it is most unfair that such mis-statements should be published, and I want the pub- lic of Llanelly to lanow some of the facts especially as regards the wages of first and second hands. I know of one works m Llanelly where there are twelve fur- naces of which eleven are manned. The average earnings of ten out of the eleven first hands exclusive of war bonuses does not amount to E4 5s. a week, and that of the second hands £ 3 per week. To claim this standard, also, the men have to work the wiole year round without losing any turns, not to speak of furnaces going out of. repair dnring which time, of course, they Are earning nothing. Further, no account seems to be taken of stoppages cause d by short- age of scrap or maybe, shortage of orders which seriously reduce the earnings of the men. It is therefore,, most unjust that the public should be informed that the average earnings work out at £6 10s for first hands, and J65 for second hafids. I have figures before me which show that those I have mentioned are quite correct, and it is only right that the public should know exactly what we are getting. I I am. etc.. Llanelly, STEELWORKER. May 29th, 1919. j

8Q\ -I Here and There.
8Q\ Here and There. An official rat catcher is to be ap- pointed by the Kent County Council at r„ salary of je250. The absence of cheap sweets and the healthy effects of war bread are given as reasons by the medical officer for the exceptionally good teeth of Ramsgate school children last year. Before the war, the fabric glove in- dustry was almost a German monopoly, and this country imported annually from the enemy about 2* million dozen pairs. They are now being manufac- tured here, an excellent beginning hav- ing been made. | Out of 260 towns which were offered Tanks in recognition of efforts for the par savings movement, there have been only eight refusals. Peterborough Eduention Committee has refused to accept the withdrawal of teachers' resignations offered by the N.U.T., and over a hundred teachers will therefore leave the committee's service to-day. At his o-,i- request, Mr. Gowen, clerk to the Purley Council, has had his salary as executive food officer reduced from £ 100 to £ 50. He says: "I don't want money for nothing." Mr. and Mrs. J. Hall, of Growbriclge, who have celebrated their golden wed- ding, were married in the church in which they were both christened, and have lived in the parish all their lives. Five of their sons served in the war, two being killed. Arrangements are being made to bring the body of Capt. Fryatt from Belgium for interment in this country. In a small garden in Jamaica street. Stepney, London, there is a fig tree bearing an abundance of promising fruit. Machynlleth Urban District Council has refused the offer of a field gun and carriage captured from the Germans by men of the 38th Division, and offered to the town at the express wish of the Commander of the Division. For shooting an owl (a protected bird) a man was on Monday at Carmarthen fined 12s. Gd. Ho said he mistook it for a pigeon. Fielding in a cricket match, Dr. C. H. Ribbert, of Marple. Cheshire, ran after a boundary hit, jumped over a fence and fell on his head, fatally injuring himself. Suffering from depression after in:- j fiuenza, Mrs. M. Prescott, 46, of Ban- bury, drowned herself in a water-butt. Excited by the prospective return of her, husband from France, a Mrs. Rose Wise, Regent's Park road, London, died from heart failure. Complete skeletons of three ponies killed in an explosion nine years ago have been fovnd in a coalmine near Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Fines of £ 5 or 11 days were imposed at MiJdleton yesterday on Fred Watson. a demobilized soldier, and Frank Brookes for obtaining unemployment pay by false pretences. A prize winner at a Bedfordshire County conbsst for hand-made lace was a wonnn aged eighty-two. Cuckoos are so numerous at Tiverton. Devon, en rl plain that their rest is disturbed in the early hours of the morning. One victim who had been, thus awakened, says he saw, and heard, four cuckoos chasing each other in his garden. The announcement that cheap fares are to be made available for school chil- dren's treats has resulted in the various railway companies being inundated with applications for these facilities. A Walsall firm of electrical instru- ment makers has received a letter en- closing a copy of a circular issued by Ferdinand Burgstaller, No. 10, Gotzgass, Vienna, offering to supply insulatRcl I cutting pliers, and stating that they can export to all countries and will forward price and sample carriage and duty free. The envelope is marked "Opened by censor Southwark is selling £ 40,000 of War Bonds to meet the cost of road con- struction being carried I out in the borough. An ex-soldier, nemed George William Callow, aged 30. died under peculiar cir- cumstances in Victoria Park, London, on Saturday afternoon. Ho was playing cricket at the nets, and just after mak ing a big drive collapsed and died al- most immediately. An outbreak of smallpox has occurred at Gravesend, and four deaths are re- ported up to the present.
