The Cambria Daily Leader

The Day's Gossip. í "Leader" OlTice, Friday I have long wondered why the Rotary Club movement had escaped Swansea, when, elsewhere, it his been of such ser- vice. Lianelly in this matter has been before us, but now I am told that the institution of the Rotary Club at Swan- sea is so far advanced that we may re- gard it as definitely in being. The move- ment, as you know, has been a wonderful power in America, and it has become al- most as powerful in this country. Its guiding principle is service; and I believe iz will he a benefice-nit influence in Swan- sea. We have wanted eome guch institu- tion. where problems can be ventilafcd and new imieas discussed. 1 don't rea'.ly know whether I am en'.i?ied to gay much more than this about the beginning of the movement at Swansea, and anyhow it w.l not be tuair- iv. y~ 1 llt.tu.rv Club itself will show what it is and what it hopes to do. A Gower Wood. I Of the further recesses of Gower I have j not been able to see much since 1914; nothing much beyond RoynokMon and Ilston, reachable on Shank's pony. Last night, carried down by a gttd- hearted friend who could not rwist ? object of the journey-of which morf anon—I noticed that Hayes Wood, the long and narrow strip of trees just off j the turn from the main road into Rey- noldstop. has disappeared. A few stumps remain, giving the scene somewhat the appearance of say Bourlon Wood, or the forest near La Boiselle. Hayes Wood, when I stayed in the cottage near by, was the Parliament of the crows, and I j have heard therein at evening, many a wise, and oftentimes a turbulent discus- ( sion of crow-politics. in Port Eynon. I Port Eynon last night seemed the cen- tral home of rest. There is no village in | Gower which gives such a sense of re- pose; this may lie why it is so much sought after by the holiday-makers. 11 was told that all the August accommoda- tion has b?en taken, and that urgent letters and telegrams, arriving daily, have all to be, ans??red "in the nega-I tiva So the place will be pretty nlJ )n the h<Uiday month—although he beaui-v of Port Eynon is that no matter how many people are about the- beach and the dunes are too spacious ever to look crowded The Market. I Is it not time that the whole market question should be looked into with courage, instead of trifling with a project to turn the Oxford-street side into shops? The drapers of the town feel they have a grievance on account of the large amount of their trade that is done in the Market. We pay ritten they argue, heavy rates; and why should we have to face such com- petition from people who do not contri- bute as we do to the maintenance of the town. They raise the iue of the purpose -,6ue of the purpose for which the market was 6tarted-th sale of perishable goods. But, this apart, the whole question wants serious consideration. A friend suggests to me ¡ that part of the market site should be set aside as a motor transport station, and the suggestion is worth thinking over. If the traffic grows as is hoped, Portland-street and Park-street will be quite impossible; indeed I should think the residents in the neighbourhood view the matter with eome feeling even now. The Market, or part of it, would be the ideal place for the transwrt station. I By Bert Thomas. I I 1 came across a number of local cari- catures by Bert Thomas the other Jay! and they remmded me forcibly of Harold Morgan's clever drawings. Bert, of course, had a style of his own, ana in these early efforts of his there is the promise that has developed so fully since. I remember one caricature of his, of an ex-aMerman who simply in- I vited caustic strokes, that suspended relations between the victim and the newspaper that, greatly daring, printed it! Harold Morgan observes the in- ventions more carefully, and so far from resenting his work, most of the people he has drawn have been anxious for possession of the original. One vic- tim wired his desire to secure the sketch, so keen was his ambition to have it hanging in his drawing-room I I Defective Children. I l The proposal to ostablisli a special school in Swansea for defective children is a move in the right direction, and trust the hope that it may be available after the summer holidays will prove well founded. Difficulty may be ex- perienced in some cases in showing parents that specialised education is deeirablj in the case of their children, but if the question is intelligently handled this prejudice will soon dis- appear in favour of the sane view that it is in the best possible present and future interests of such children that they shall have specially adapted train- ing. Swansea is no worse off than other places in this matter of defective children. Mr" Beck's Humour. I It was not surprising that Mr. Roger Beck should have been the most inter- esting figure in Swansea's tank presen- tation. But it says much for the veteran that after taking two hours to get from the Palace to the Recreation Ground, having missed an important committee ho desired to attend and nearly given up in despair at the St. Helen's-road delay, ho delivered the most appropriate speech (delicately humorous in its opening and in the form of a "take your rest" talk to tho tank at the closed that I have lately heard in Swansea. Equally happy and allusive was his quoting to the Mayor (who was holding a ladder for him to ascend to the roof of the tank) a famous man's utterance on ascending the scaffold, which ran something like this: I thank you for the care you have of me in my going up; for my coming down I must shift for myself." There is too little of this kind of charm in our public speak- tng. and Mr. Beck is accordingly entitled to our thanks. A New Plaything. f Talk about armies being the sport of kings! Swansea found its tank the sport of the kiddies—or at least of the boys—and had to fcace it in consequence. Judging by the sight of it the other even- ing, it would have been some days before the novelty of it wore off sufficiently for the girls to get very near it. Likewise, the average older people will have to wait for the opportunity, which the Leader report said would now be theirs, of satisfying the queries in their minds—unless, indeed, they go to the Recreation Ground during school hours. The other night, shouting glee- fully, the boys were occupying noarly every inch of etanding space inside and out. Some on the top looked down with an air of proprietorship that they were sorry to have to share, while others shifted every movable thing, entered and left by all doors, opened all the port- holes. looked through from the driver's and N.C.O.'s seats, and played see-saw on the protruding pieces of the fi-pounder guns. Altogether they undoubtedly found if their finest discovery in the plaything line for a very long time. One rather envied the enterprise of the fond mother who came to a door nnd got one of the boys to shout, Is there anybody called Jones in there?" She had such a great chance of Kettine an answer.

£350 INCH EASE. 11 Swansea Electrical Engineer III Granted Advance. I The Swansea Electricity Committee met on Thursday, Ald. T. James presiding. The Town Clerk read an application from the Associated Municipal Electricai Engineers, which in effect asked that chief engineers and managers of electrical I undertakings he granted the awards made to engineers and foundry trades by the I Committee on Production; and also that i they be placed on a certain formula. In short this meant in the case of Mr. 13utr an increase in his salary from S700 to £1,050 a year, the formula being based on the number of units generated at the station. In the event of no agreement ¡ being come to the Ministry of Labour, who had been approached, suggested that it be referred to arbitration. The chairman asked what was the posi- tion in view of the Council's resolution not to grant the increase for 12 months. The Town Clerk said that the resolution cpuld always be rescinded. It had al- ready been done. 1 The chairman: Under exceptional cir cum stances. SALARY OF ft,050. I I Mr. Morgan Bees thought it bettor to review the wholequestion of the salaries of the chief officials. He moved that it be a recommendation to the Council. Councillor Dan Jones advocated the clean cut by at once advancing the sal- ary of Mr. Burr to £ 1,050. Mr. Morgan Roes: Will you move. Mr. Dan Jones: Yes. Mr. Dd. Richards (St. John's) sub- mitted an amendment that the matter go to arbitration. The amendment was lost, and the Coun- cil was recommended to increase the sal- ary to P.1,050 per annum

ITRAIN BLOWN UPOI I DISASTER AT WElSHa AMERICAN TOWti. WILKESBARE, Pennsylvania, Thursday. Sixty-nine miners were killed and forty injured thib morning by the ex- plosion oi a truck of black powder at- tached to an electric train in wiiich the men were being conveyed to their work. The accident occurred just after the train entered the mouth of a tunnel. It had got about 200ft. into the tunnel ( when tiie trolley wire broke and fell. The sparks ignited the powder, which instantly exploded, and in a moment the bodies of men were flying in all directions. The dames caused an even graatar loss of life than the explosion, while others of the men were suaocatea while trying to reach the mouth of the tunnel. The disaster allowed a night of re- joicing in celebration of the home-com- ing oi the sons and brothers of llliner from service in France. GROWING DEATH ROLL. I Later. Many of the injured lived only a snort time. The death list is constantly growing, and is osviinutcd this afLernoou from 7o to LOG. Most of the bodies were burned to a cinder, and identifica- tion is iinpossib'e. Hundreds ol shriek- ing women and children are gathered at the moirth of the'tunnel terrified at the sights that iiieet their eYCfl. The res- ellers threw screams of water on the train. In the meanwhile the cries of the dying and injured cou!d be heard above the roar of the flames. The catastrophe, winch is one of the greatest that iias ever occurred in this section of the anthracite coaliieki, is attributed to carelessness and to viola- tion of" the mine tawn. There is drastic prohibition against the transporting of men on trains carrying explosives. In- vestigation will decide whetiher the com- pany or the men are responsible. It is now stated that the train carried twelve keps of the powder used for blasting. One of the survivors, who saved him- self by jumping into a ditch running along the side of the tunnel, said: We were about 50 feet inside the tunnel when I saw a blinding flash and flung myself into the water. Bodies were hurled all about me, and the flames made a' veritable hell. No one could escape unless he got into the water buried his face, and rolled over as I did."—Reuter. I WELSH AMERICAN TOWN.
