LLANELLY HEROES. National Schoolboys' Sacrifice for -1 Britain. At the welcome home accorded the boys connected with the Llanelly National BoY8' School who served in H.M. Forces during the war, the headmaster (Mr. Willie) made touching references to those who had made the supreme eacri- fice, the number being 42. He then read the Roll of Honour, and the "Last Post" was sounded. Canon D. Watcyn Morgan, B.A., also I ■poke, and the following contributed to I the musical programme which followed tea:Aiies JEvan6, Mies Maggie Davies, Mise Davies (Pontyberem), Miss D. Wil- liams, Miss L. Nicholas, Messrs. Arthur Brown, D. J. Jones, Tom Francis, 81. J. Thomas, F. Bad'ham. and a party of school children under the conduotorship of Mr. Godsell. Mr. David Samuel, teacher, was pre- sented with a roee bowl on the occasion of his marriage, the gift being handed over by the headmaster. C.S.M. R. Williams was presented with a silver wristlet watch in recognition of his winning the D.C.M., Mias Daisy Willis handing over the gift. t

The Day's Gossip. Leader Office, Monday. We are at the beginning of a strange I week for Swansea. The police trouble— the coming of Mr. Bob Williams and the Transport Conference on Thursday—the return of the Colours—the appointment of the College Principal; it seems to me that the most appropriate comment will be sxipplied by the Jazz Band that is going to honour one of the picture house? withs a half-hour's performance nijfhtly. Let us hope that some clear notes of melody will emerge before the end of the week. The Preacher's Wage. I I heard on Saturday, at a denomina- tional gathering, an appeal for a living wage for the minister that ought to have moved a heart of stone. It was addressed to all and sundry. The principal culprits are n6t confined to one class. In yester- day's sermon, the preacher spoke of a man whom he had been told spent ten shillings a week upon his tobacco and ciears and donated a shilling to the church funds. That man may be paralleled in many churches, in which wealthy men—wealthy working men, too —believe they are honouring and serving God by spending a pound upon Satur- day's excursion and placing a shilling- no, Ptixpence-in the collection box on Sunday. Were all church members to give reasonably according to their means --not even generously—the problem of the under-paid minister would solve itself without recourse to suatentation funds. As it is. the burden grows heavier and heavier upon the shoulders of the conscientious member, who is the last man who should be blamed for the pre- sent ecandal. The guilty one is generally the man who will sing with heartiness Were the whole realm of nature mine That were a present far too small, and searches out the lowest coin for the collection. And this is the man who i# readiest to shout Shame when news come? out of the sweated minister. The Celtic Congress. I The Celtic Congress last August at Neath was an epoch-making meeting. Miss Agnes O'Farreily's paper on The Celtic Races" would alone have sufficed to make it important; but there was, bosides, a whole host of big contributions. Therefore I welcome the printed record of its transactions, compiled by Mr D. HhYR Phillips, F.L.A., who issues it from Beili Glas, 15, Chaddc,,sley-to-,rra(-e. Swansea (4s. net; Is. id. post paid). h is extremely well got at As a typo- graphical performance it in a delight to the eye; but it has a more moving effect than that! The Welshman who wishes to keep i-n touch with Oltic thought must get it for his bookshelves—to be placed there, of course, only after he has refreshed his memory of the dOlDtfs at Neath last August. Mr. Phillips has rendered his e-ountry another effective oieoo of work. Housing Apathy. I Housing has long been one of the best- viorn subjects in Swansea, yet those really meet the all-too-palpable need, do IR04 secrn to be many. At the Council meekir.i;. the quor+tion rarely arouses much discus rion, helpful or critical, probably i,u- •-aiise, unfortunately, the Housing Com :jiittee's minutes are always oear tli:■ end of the agenda Yet in the town one can occasionally meet people w ho fay that in face of war costs the Coun- cil ought, to abandon the Town ilii. scheme — without sugg^f-ting w her another site could be reasonably oil tained. Aid. Moiyneux is one of thr very keenest chairmen of committees in I the Council, but I suggest—and he wouk. probably agree—that in this huge ques- tion the responsibility for its being pro- perly tackled rests really on the Conn- nil as a whole; and that apathy, or t + my rate noc-interference, either helf ful or condemnatory, should end. But >ve do not want airy platitudes; it is to the good that. we seem to be developing jeyond this stage. Mount Pleasant Tramway. I By the way, the issues of my contem- porary of two consecutive days last wet. rovided an example of what might be ailed "smart" journalism. Fitst the .isoovery that the Mount Pleasant u-amway would, like every engineering work, cost aibout 125 peV cent. moi ,han ore-war price was boldly announced us a hitch in the Town Hill scheme it- •elf; next day the Housing Chairman was interviewed to show that, as far as he was concerned at any rate, the 'hitch" didn't exist, since he had al- ways preferred the two other cheaper octionp of tramway provided for! The -lousing Committee nas yet to consider .he Tramways Committee's new -,sti- nates, and njeanwhilo Ald. Moiyneux -.eerns to be still verv con fident of bring- ■iig the Town Hill sclieme to fruition. The Thorniest Problem. I I The meeting of the Swansea Dis^ charged Prisoners' Aid Society draIn; attention once more to the old, thorny problem of the undesirable woman, to. wards the solution of which we do not seem to have much advanced. In Swan- sea, an authority tells me, its extension to younger people is the principal war difference. Mere leniency or severity in the police court do not, after all, get very near the heart of the question, al- though local differences, in the number of obmplaints are said to be easily attributable to them. The only bright factor whioh the friend I have quoted could see was that the descent to the worst lWels is slow and that in the early stages real, intimate, human in- telligent insight and help might have the desired result. Where can enough of this be found? The Library. L I x nave ueen assaa vo give, occasion- ally, notes regarding new purchases at the Swansea Library. It will be a pleasant task indeed when the books passe diby the Boolc-Purchasing Commit- tee come along, for, although fands ate lower than they ought to be, an effort is being made to make the institution more up-to-date, and recent lists have been most promising. One Library hC- quisition I greatly enjoyed the other de,y was Barrie's Admirable Crichton. most Barrie-like of his plays; but far- ing somewhat at its close from the first version staged at Swansea many years ago. Turner In Wales. I The Swansea Arts and Crafts Commit- tee last week decided to take up a pro- ject postponed by the war, and to secure a loan of Turner's Welsh drawings for exhibition in the Glynn Vivian Gallery. It should be an interesting exhibition. Let us hope that the Dinevor Castle drawing will be among them, and the picture of CaTrog Cennon he is known to have done about the same time. I believe—although I am far from my references as I writo-tliat some scenes on the Tawe were done by the great artist. He was in Wales in 1798 upon a second vigit at the age of twenty-three, tnd covered Carmarthenshire and Gla- morganshire pretty well; and the result of the visit were seen at the ensuiftg Academy. It was at the period when he thought Girtin would outstrip him in fame. Indeed he was th., only rival he ever feared, and only death-for Girtin died before his promise matured— eased the perturbation ot Turner.
