As Mr. Worrell is no stranger to Swansea and the adjoining districts (hav- ing visited same for the past five years), it is unnecessary to comment here upon hie wonderful success as a refractionist. If you are suffering with eyestrain or headaches, or you are in doubt aibotii your eyes at all, do not miss this opportunity of calling at the DOCKERS' HALL and oonsulting Mr. Worrell. Mr. Worrell wishes to impress upon all the fact that this is to be a genuine optical sale, where the prices of the various glasses will be, as stated above, as. 6d. complete.

Mr. Worrell will be pleased to meat old clients who hold his guarantee, and will give them his best attention during the fortnight, should they wish to con- snlt him.

The Day's Gossip. I _n < Leader Office, Saturday. I regret that I cannot say more, yet, about the Rotary Club for Swansea. The queries in my letter bag to-day give an indication of the general interest yester- day's paragraph has aroused—incidentally they show a flattering appreciation by our readers ot this coluilu-but i would coun- sel the inquirers to patience until the or- ganisers think fit to make an announce- ment. The Coming Holiday. I Whit-Monday will d'ffer in many re- spects from all the summer bank holidays tlf the last few years. Hosts of people will uf oourse flock to the bays, the sports meetings, and the countryside, given fine wftather, but many of my friends who have spent the holiday in this fashion dur- ing the war are now taking the plunge and making a long week-end of it in Lon- don and other distant parts. The still unreduced train fares will make it a dear holiday, but, after all, the ideas of money values have been revolutionised during the past few years, and if our holidays cost more, I daresay most of us will be able to afford them. The Congregationalists. I I am allowed to say that the Welsh Con- I gregational Union is to meet at a Western watering place on the North Wales coast —that and nothing ijiore for the present. The clue is fairly clear if those interested study their maps. The Salaries Round. I "The scene is being already set for an- other salal ies debate at the next Council. It is ungracious work questioning the wisdom of the steps taken in these per- sonal matters. Mr. Burr, of trrtj Elec- tricity Works, is a capable manager who makes little fuss and does his work not ¡ OIlly efficiently, but splendidly. In his line, he is as valuable as Mr. Heath in his. But the objectionable thing is the pimeal way of doing business-the kind of notion councillors appear to have that the diplomatic way is to do in stages that which the Council refused to do at one step. After Mr. Burr there will come Mr. A and Mr. B and Mr. C, all with good claims for recognition, and indeed with strong claims since the process of dis- crimination has started. If our officials ought to have more, let the problem be tackled at once, so that we shall know where we stand, and how much it is going to cost. These etep-by-step increases are trying to the spirit of the man who is already a little nervy about the size of bis rate call. Why not let him know quickly how much extra taxes he is in for. And let it be done in a less airy way than the El^tricitv Committee ap- pears to. have dealt with its particular uroblem. The Newspaperman. I I don't think the public quite realist, the tied life of a journalist; for as a rule when others are making holiday he records the manner of their pleasure-seeking. What a great time you fellows have, with your free entry to all kinds (if places of amusement," remarked a friend the other day. Yes, but he did not realise that most of the pleasure is gone from pleasure as soon as it becomes a task. However, the most harassed class of journalist—I mean the sub-editor—gets a little better time nowadays, for since Bank Holiday newspapers went, out of fa-shion he mauafjes to get an Q(,f\8i(,1::1 free week-day. x I Save the Water. I Those assiduous gardeners who spmi-I I half an hour or so, plus many gallons of water, per evening in quenching the thirst of their young and tender plants had better ease their elbows lest there be trouble. I know we-have a splendid reservoir, but this long drought is bound to send it down, especially whep we re- mem ber that the .Corporation has to re- lease a million gallons a day as compen- sation water. It behoves us a.1' to hus- band our resources for goodness knows how long the dry s-pell will last. If we ha,vato go thirsty in the late summer, it will be no consolation to remeinber that we kept the pawns' of our western suburbs green in June. The. Blessings of Work. I How difficult, how impossible, it is to give away money without injuring the recipients, is again being tragically illus- trated in the working of the Govern- ment unemployment donation. A philo- -o hical colleigue of mine, starting in th)s strain, CODtjUUCS: For an tindivi(iu, millionaire or a multi-millionaire State to hand out Treasury notes is perilously easy; hut the fact remains that the oalv real philanthropy lies in providing for the needy, not doles, but useful employ- ment. No case for State bounty was over more clearly just than that of the demobilised soldiers, sailors, and air- men. But here also the principle holds good that ueeful work, and that is what the overwhelming majority of these men want, is the only real beaefit. We are in great danger of forgetting that what really matters, to the poorest man most of all, is not wages, bnt the work (his own or somebody else's) which 'makes wages possible. We read of a man who says: I am getting S2 13s. a week out-of-work benefit, and I can't oome to you unless I am paid 12s. a day." The speaker ignores the fact that others who do work ark, 'naintaining him in what, an opening fof useful activity in the interest of the community having been provided, is I iijnoblo idleness. An Oaks Comedy. I t cannot resist here telling the tale oi die Leader and the Oaks. We of the Leader" are men enough to stand a newspaper defeat- and, of course, the ether paper has now and then given us a doing; we cannot expect to have it our (,wn way always (although we generally contrive it to be that way). On Derby Day the whole staff from the printer's devil to the reporters' room was jubilant over the success of the paper in placing the result on the street many minutes be- fore our contemporary. As many as could spare the time went out into Castle Bailey-street to gloat over the spectacle of the Leader first out and selling like wild-fire. Judge, therefore, of their shock and their indignation vshen the other paper that evening declared that not only was it first out, but that its boys were selling the result outside the Leader offices before we were printing! It was a silly olaim to make, for many hundreds who were waiting in the neighbourhood of our office were able themselves to make their own comment on the claim-if thev had seen it. Yesterday, however, the staff combined to take the tip thrown out in the foolish assertion. How they did it t -:hall mot reveal, but they got copies of the Leader." with the result of the Oaks in it, on sae outside our contemporary's premises quite two minutes before our leisurely rival came to the street. I tell the story here because just as I write every department in the paper is chuck- ling over the triumph, and the publisher Ilnd his staff are smiling from ear to ear. One of them tells me that if there is any disposition on the part of our contempo- rary to be incredulous over the claim we I make, a member of its reportorial staff can supply it with very interesting infor- "lation on the point.
