[ DOUBLE WELCOME I i COLOURS AND TANK RECEIVED I AI- CARMARTHEN I I CADRE OF 15TH. WELSH I Carmarthen paid a fitting tribute to [ the officers and men of the 15th Welsh ¡ Regiment, popularly known as the Car- marthenshire Battalion, the cadre of I which reached the town on Wednesday evening from Newmarket, where it arrived from abroad some duys ago. I The streets were profuseij, bedecked with flags, and large crowds turned out to greet Lieut.-col. T. W. Parkinson, ■ D.S.O. (the commanding officer of the » battalion) and the other members of the i cadre. I IMPRESSIVE SCENE. I I There was sn impressive scene at Car- I marthen Railway Station when tlie I cadre arrived by the 5.19 train and was received by the Mayor (Alderman W. Evans), the Lord-lieutenant (Air. John Hmds, M.P.), Lieut.-col. F. Dudley W Drummond, C.B.E. Lieut.-col. lielme Davies-Evans, D.S.O., Dr. Brigstocke, j and many others. ¡ A procession was formed to St. Peter's Church, where an impressive service was I held. Col. Parkinson handed over the colours, which were dedicated by the Bishop of St. David's. I PUBLIC MEETING. I I At a public meeting the Guildhall which followed Col. Parkinson presented the town trophies, including two silver bugles, won by the battalion for cross- country running, and to the lord-lieu- tenant (Mr John Hinds, M.P.) a silver cup, won by the battalion for athletics. Afterwards the oomany was enter- tained by the mayor. THE TANK. I Carmarthen People Turn Out to I Welcome it. Earlier in the day Carmarthen turned out in large crowds to • welcome the tank. The Mayor (Aid. Wm. Evans) and Corporation and officials, magistrates and others attended at the old railway station. The tank was in charge of Capt. Foster, and a large procession was formed, including mounted police, the St. David's Church Lads' Brigade. the Salvation Army Band, and the school children of the town carrying banners. PRESENTATION WITHOUT TANK. I uniortunately. ,the tank, alter pro- ceeding a short distance along the route, came to grief at The Quay, and after a considerable delay, the procession, headed by the Mayor and Corporation, had to go on without it, and there was grea* disappointment among the large crowd that had gathered at Picton's Monument when they realised that the procession was minus the tank. The ceremony of presenting it to the borough, however, was gone through. On behalf of the National War Sav- ings Committee in London, Mr. John Hinds, M.P., formally presented the tank to the borough, which he said would arrive there very shortly. In proportion to population, what Carmar- then had done in the matter of war sav- mgs investments compared with the highest attained by any town in the United Kingdom. The Mayor accepted the tank on be- half of the borough, and recalled that when a tank visited Carmarthen in June of last year the town was asked to subscribe a quota of £ 50,000 to the War Loans, but it succeeded on that occasion in raising £ 250,000. (Ap- plause.) That was the highest subscrip- tion in the United Kingdom in compari- son with population. At present the borough was subscribing at the rate of £ 3.000 a month in war certificates. Mr. T. Howell Davies, M.B.E., sec- retary of the Carmarthenshire War Savings Committee, also spoke. TANK ARRIVES AT LAST. By the evening the tank had arrived at its appointed place in the enclosure around Picton's Monument.

At the Swansea Harbour Executive Comnyltteo meeting on Thursday morn- ing, Mr. Itogor Bed: presiding, Mr. John Glasibrook., who through indispose, tion had bØ2'D absent from the meetings put in. an appearance.

FIRST MUZZLING CASES. I Mr. Rupert Lewis appeared for the prosecution at Swansea on Tli-Lirsday in the first batch of cases against dog owners for breaches of the Muzzling Order that have come before the Borough Bench. There were 20 summonses for allowing dogs to be abroad without muzzles. Seven of the defendants were also summoned for not having licenses for their dogs. Evidence was given by various police officers, and several defendants submitted I that the dogs had worked th-eir muzzles off themselves. FineS of 5s. each were inflicted for the I breaches of the Order, and fines of 7s. 6d. each for not taking out licenses. PUBLIC WARNED. Dr. J. A. Raw-lings, the cliail-mau said that in the twenty cases they had before them to-day, the Bench had only inflicted iiiem t,04 1 small fines. The public, however, should take warning that they had the power to inflict a fine of £25, and that offences against the Order should not be repeated.

MR. DONALD JOHNSTON, M.A. I His friends in SwaTisea-and they are IN-" n-w,ill hail with pleasure the suc- cess of Mr. Donald V. Johnston, Ml., who ha? been appointed headmaster of ♦the famous Peng-am Grammar School: Ur. Johnston is a Swansea boy—to be correct he hails from Llansamlet—and EiftOT a brilliant ce-reer at Cambridge, wh.e.to he achieved the distinction of being eleventh Wrangler in his year and first 60 fair as Wales was concerned, he was appointed as assistant master at the YsifW.yfera County School. The force of Ibis remarkable personality was soon felt jLn the school, and as a rosult of his efforts a debating society was formed by the senior pupils. The majority of the nrerhbsrs of thie ifirst society have since embarked on bril- fliant careers. His departure from Ystal. yfera to another school was regretted by ell with whom he had associated, and the fact that the several forms respectively of him by pr?L- marked their appreciation of him by pre- sentations is eloquent testimony of his anany good qualifies. Mr. Johnston was the Swansea m, n-imir School.

LLANDILO COUNCIL. I At Llandilo Council attention was again directed to the unfinished state of Clarence-road. It was stated that all the local owners were prepared to do the necessary work. The only defaulter was an outside owner—a Mrs. Thomas, of Swansea, late Cwrt-bryn-y-beirdd, near Llandilo. It was decided to give all owners notice that" the work must be done forthwith, or the Council would do the work and charge the owners. The Chairman called attention to the fact that the members amongst them- Be Ives had promised a reward to anyone giving information that would lead to the conviction of anyone damaging trees in the park. The surveyor had brought one to justice. Were they going to fulfil their promise? Mr. W. Hopkins proposed, and Mr. II arries seconded, that they should do PO. Mr. T. Williams*: Take the hat, round. A welcome decision was arrived at. on tlJe motion of Mr. T. Williams, that the titrc-ets fjlwulfl be watered. r- A_'L"

BRYNCOCH BLAZE. MEN'S HEROISM SAVES SERIOUS CONFLAGRATION On Thursday morning a firo broke out! in the- power station at the Main Col- liery, Brynooch, near Neath, and a catastrophe was narrowly averted by the promptitude of the itien. It appears that some oil from one of the engine boxes spirted upwards and be- came ignited, firing the ceilings. Imme- diately there was a considerable blaze. The engine room attendant, \V. Roberts, who was badly burnt and conveyed to the Swansea Hospital, gave the alarm, and the liames were battled with by the men with great heroism, and checked before any material damage was done to the engines. So furious was the outlook at one time that the Swansea and Britonferry Fire Brigades were telephoned for, and they arrived on the scene promptly, but in the meantime the conflagration had some- what subsided. Work at the pit was suspended for the day, but it was hoped that it would be possible to resume on Friday.

£50,000 FUND. I Progress of Congregational- ists' Sustentation Scheme. The quarterly meetings of th? East Car- marthenshire Welsh Ccngregationalists were held at Car in el Independent Chapel, Llamndwrn, on Tuesday and Wednesday, under the presidency of the Rev. D. B.

Lloyd Morgan, of Pontar- du!a;:s. Snms of over -€-12,000 have al- ready been promised out of the total of '£i)O,OGO. It is understood that the re- maind-er wilt be in hand in tm e for bhe annu-al Union Meetings to be held at Pontypridd in July. Votes of condolence and gratification were passed to the Rev. Wm.

Moses, Brynock Davies, Orchwv Bowen, William Bowcn, R-ewson Jones, D. J. Davies, Berrian James, and D. B. Richards. The weigher was very fine, and the con- gregations were large.

GORSEIMON PARK. I Site Chosen and Application I to be Made to L.G.B. LlandrJc-Talybont Pariah Council met at Gorseinon on Wednesday, Mr. Isnao 1, Dri vies in the chair. The Olerk reported on the proposed park for Gcrseinon, and it. was acreed, since the land wa/3 available, to write to the awmI Government Beard for sanction for a loan. The site selected is the large open stpaoe at the back of the new Church (St. Catherine's) in Alexandra-road, which is one of the meet itioal spoti in the whole district. CHARABANC FOR GROVESEND.

BACK LANES NUISANCES. ] Ail-Pound complaints were lodged in res- pect to the bad arrangements regarding the collection of house refuse. Several Councillors stated that the back lanes were in a terrible state, and the buckets which were put cut in the morning were often left for days to be kicked aibout by boye, and to the d,anger of pasaers-by at night.

CYNDDYLAN'S LAND. I Complaints of Delay in I Claaringa Slide. At Llandilo T'rban Council, presided over by Mr. Henry W. Jones, Sartor House, there was a discussion over a land slide in Abbot-road on the property of the Rev. Cynddylan Jones, the well-known Calvinistic Methodist preacher and writer. It was explained that the road had been made clear but not restored to its old boundary. Capt. Roberts thought they should give the rev. gentleman reasonable time. He was absent from home so much. Mr. D. Morgan, White Horse, said that Mr. D. Evans and another farmer had lost the opportunity of manuring the land owing to the delay in removing the slide. It was decided that another seven days' notice be served upon him, Mr.W. Hopkin insisting that it should be registered.

LLANDILO NEWS. I At the recent half-yearly meetings held at Capel Newydd the Rev. Wm.

I TWO SHUNTERS. I I Larceny Charges Heard at I Swansea. The two shunters, James Gil'bort Garra- h-nn (30) and Frank Cuthbert Murphy, who had been remand e d on bail on charges of theft from the G.W.R., were again before the Swansea Bench on Thursday faced with a formidable charge list. Mr. Rupert Lewis appeared to prosecute, Mr. W. R. Francis for Garrahan, and Mr. Henry Thompson for Murphy. Mr. Thompson intimated that the de- fendants would plead guilty, and leave themselves to the jurisdiction of the magistrates. BLANKETS, WHISKY, ETC. The charges, of which there were six, alleged thetts of blankets, whisky, rugs, | ahirts, wool, cigarettes, handkerchiefs, and other articles, during the past six months, tlio amount involved being over £ 39. In opening, Mr. Rupert Lewis said the thefts had taken place at Cockett Station. Garrahan worked on the docks, and had no business at Coekett Station. Murphy worked at the station, but was not sup- posed to handle the goods at all. The tracks from which the thefts had taken place were in one case on the road from Cardigan to Merthyr, and in another from Bristol to Llanelly, and in the other case from Dursley to Llanellv. I FOUND IN THE HOUSE. I Inspector James Mountjoy, of the G.W.R., told how he went to Murphy's house in iiorestfach with a search war- rant. In a drawer in a upstairs room he found some shirts, which Murphy said he knew had been stolen from a truck. lie was handed over to Det ec t i ve-Sergt. Gubb, and on May 23rd the two officers saw Garrahan, who, questioned on the matter, said, Yes, we split them up in a truck." Asked where he had been since May 15th, he replied, 1 was afraid. I have been knocking around Swansea all the time." Subsequently several other articles were found at the houses of the men. In answer to Mr. Thompson, Inspector Mountjoy said he knew Murphy was the son of very respectable parents, and was at the time when this occurred at the point of promotion. He seemed to be mentally relieved when he was found out. The majority of the stolen property was found at Garrahan's house. Sergt. Taylor, Fforestfach, also gave evidence. He described Garrahan as a hard-working matt. In answer to the charge Garrahan pleaded guilty and Murphy pleaded his guilt of receiving only. BOUND OVER. I Both Mr. Thompson and Mr. Francis spoke in mitigation, and after a retire- ment, the Chairman (Dr. Rawlings) an- nounced that the Bench had decided to bind both over in the sum of S50 for 12 months, and also to fine them S35 each.

ALIEN'S BUSINESS. 1 Novel Application at Swansea. At tihe Swansea County Court on Wed- n..ay-before Judge Rowland Rowlands —Mr. David Schue, on behalf of E. C. Br),i,te,r, applied for an ejectm-ewi order against a man named Totizie, of 2, Wais- saiLsqu&re, Swansea. He said he was applying a novel, but he thought reasonable grounds. The de- fendant. ivh(o was now interned in this country, hvi the business of an ice-cream seller in the premises. The defendant and his wife were alien enemies—Aus- it did not seeon faikr that they should remain afetr they had had the option of returning to their own country. A British tradesman, who wos already under notice to quit, was waiting for the premises. The plaintiff, questioned by Mr. D. O. Thomas, for the defendant, said that he had been ofieroo a higher rental, but thai was Bot Hie reason for his application. u GETTING UNPLEASANT." I His Honour asked that the man who required the house should be called. Mr. Seline eaid he had not got the man there. He wanw to keep him in the background as much as possible, as the defendant's family were getting unpleasant. His Honour remarked: I don't Like '.his sort of taking legal proceedings in secret.
