THE JOY LOAN. -
THE JOY LOAN. AN APPEAL JO SWANSEA The great Victory Loan was widely dis- I cussed during the week-end. Everybody I agreed that the loan was a good thing I for the investor. The only question was, How much can I SPa.I-e? I This question has to be decided by July I .12, when the lists will be closed. The in- tending investor has to make up his mind by that date how much money he can find between to-day and January 8. 1020, when the last instalment will be payable. On Saturday morning there was another rush for prospectuses and application forms at the banks and post offices, and Sir Robert Kindersley, chairman of the War Savings Committee, was jubilant. If the number of applications for pros- pectuses: is any indication," he said, "pub- lic interest in the Victory Loan far ex- ceeds that taken in any of the War Loans. This is, of course, a golden opportunity for tlifi people. Facilities will be given j them to borrow money from their bankers to buy loan." AN APPEAL TO SWANSEA. I The Mayor of Swansea has received the following telegram from the Director of I Publicity of, the Victory Loan Campaign Department:— Further to Chancellor's telegram, he would appreciate it greatly if the citi- zens in your area could be invited by you, through the Press officials, to dis- play every kind of bunting to celebrate the inauguration of the Victory Loan." HOW TO HELP. I General support of the Victory Loan after you have subscribed, can be given by following the suggestion:— Every business letter sent out from your office or shop should bear the headline— Support the Victory Loan," and that this phrase should be typed at the head of all letters for the next week; further, that all private letters should carry the same message. An extremely handsome coach and four, draped each side with a message to the nation to the following effect: "Tour Patriotic Duty—Support the Victory Loan! will parade through the principal streets of Tondon for six days; and an- other scheme which has been adopted is to send a telegram from London to the secretary of every golf club throughout the country, bearing a similar message, and with a request that it be pinned up in a prominent position in the club. PLENTY OF FORMS NOW. I Swansea Getting On With Loan. ] Swansea, now well supplied with appli- cation forms, has apparently not got much beyond the inquiry stage in the matter of the new loans. Mr. Bonar Law's speech is eagerly awaited, and a big demand can then be anticipated. In banking-and Post Office circles it is felt that the new issues will have a strong appeal, especially for people who want a steady income from an investment that will not be redeemable till 1960 or 1990- much longer periods than those of the previous loans which can now be con- verted. It is pointed out, too, that there are quite exceptionally good terms in the matter of death duties, and from the point of view of investments for the bone- fit of children the loans are commended and likely to be exceedingly popular. AT THE POST OFFICE. The Post Onice has one big appeal to the public, in that to the small investor it offers facilities of transferring old sav- ings to the new loans in as low amcunts as t5 alid up to any figure, In the gen- eral ancj sub-offices at Swansea there have been many inquiries and applications I for forms. Ii PREMIER!.S _MESS.AGE.I (t Greatest and Costliest I Triumph. At this morning s great meeting at the I Guildhall, London, when tM Victory Joy i Loan Campaign was inaugurated, the fol- lowing message was eent by the Prime I Minister;— "The cauSA of ;ght and fair-play has won its greatest and costliest triumph. We must beware, lest, through lassi- tude or indifference, the victory should be left derelict to lie on lihe battlefield. It must be enthroned: at home and abroad. I In the new settlements of the world, in the achievements of the last five years, no country has played a prouder ehare than Britain. The efficiency and Sacrifice and heroism ot its people have never been so won- derfully displayed. Let us see that j 'We do not fail, through lack of stead- fast purpose, to complete the noblest •true'eur-e in all our country's history. (Sigiml) David l.1oyd George." SAVING TkiE POSITION. I Chancellor and our Financial I Needs. IQXDON, Monday. Mr. Aus,en Chamberlain at the Guild- hall, on Monday, oni(I thei*et was a new factor in the loan Those who subscribed to the funding loan would tender it for death duties at the issue price and the four per cent. bonds at par. Why. ladies and gentlemen, he svd, it was tempta- tion to commit suicide. The Chancellor 1 also stated that he had received from all the bankea-s whose nastmes appc-.i,r on the prospectus permission to state that they were willing to make reasonable- j advances at a r;Y,e not exceeding the bank rate through approvad customers to enable them to apply for the new stock j or bonds. The Chancellor aaid it was not for the new expenditure that they had reagurse to this loan,, except in a very cinak degree. It was to make secure and save j the portion in which we were left at the expiration of a five years wax. NOT ALL OVER." I Air. jsonar ij&w said the Chief of the Imperial Staff the other day said that there were 23 different wars taking place now. It is not all over. It is quite possible ,by want of wisdom, by ahnce of restraint, hy dissension among the Allies, hy want of unity at home, to' lose indeed the victory, that full victory that has been so dearly bolight.

Williams, llanelly, who had rented Bank House from the Guardians for 12 months ending June 2-ith, but had been unable to resid e there and had re-let it to a Mr. Pearce. Mr. Williams aw asked to be relieved of the tenancy. The rent was X20 a year. Mr. Powell and Mr. Hopkins suggested they should increase it, as it was cheap and houses were scarce. Messrs. Evan Davies, Olyn Jenkins, and W. Walters argued against the increase. Mr. Hopkins said that the Rev. Lemuel Jones, Calvinistic Methodist minister, would "probably rent the house." It was agre: J to let the rent remain as at present, and to let the house to the rev. gentleman. CONCERNING A PRECEPT. -I With reference, to a precept ior a special education rate, Mr. W. Thomas, rate col- lector, wrote pointing out that in the case of Liandilo Urban tho demand had been increased from £101 to £140, where- as for Liandilo Rural there was a decrease in the demand from AM-4 to < £ 254. He could not understand an increase in one case and a decrease in the other. The Clerk said that he had written bo Mr. Pearoe, the county treasurer, for an explanation, and the reply was that so far as he was able to cheek them the figures were correct. The clerk confessed that he did not understand the figures. Mr. Powell said that Mr. Pearce's reply was no reply at all. It was decided that the clerk should write to Mr. J. W. Nicholas, clerk to the Education Committee, asking for an ex- planation. 1- MEDICAL OFFICERS' SALARIES. T1+e Ixienl Government Loard wrote sanctioning increases in the medicl officers' salaries.

ICRICKET ARTICLE. I
CRICKET ARTICLE. I The Value of a Team I Manager. By FRANK R. FOSTER (Warwickshire C.C.C. and England). We all have our toibles and pet fancies and prejudices, and I have been twitted with the importance I attach to the ap- pointment of a Team Manager in con- nection with a County Cricket Club. Well, I have always had a profound con- viction that such an official might be of untold value to an organisation of that type. The fact that the-office is not one which is, cr has been deemed essential to the well-being of a County Club does not weigh with me in the least. The past does not hold all that is ideal or even good; one's duty is to live and leacn; to profit by the lessons of the 4 ast. Cricket h&s always been regarded as the most conservative of games, and while one desires a wise conservatism to op- erate in connection with sport, it is not wise to shut one's eyes to the possibility of improvement in any direction. It would be perfectly natural for anv- one to put the question to me: How do you define the duties of a team mana- ger? What can he do that has not hith- erto been done by the paid secretary of the club, aideil b- the captain and mem- bers of the couimittee, all-of whom are supposed to laip general interests of the County Club at heart, and a're always on the look-out for talent. My reply to that is that the county secretary has no time tå, give the precise duties that would, devolve upon the team manager. The secretary is tied t-o his office. He has a multiplicity of duties to perform, and he cannot detach himself from these duties. He is at the beck and call of everyone connected with the club. He has to superintend the thousand and one dyties connected with the ground man- agement, from which duties the team manager would be entirely freed. Making Team Efficient. I The team manager s whole duty would be in the direction of promoting the ef- ficiency .of the county eleven. He would have no othei duty to distract his at- tention. It would be his duty to see that the form of every menber of the side was.wh^t it should be. It would be his duty to see that any member of the team who required expert coaching re- ceived that coaching. How often do you see a good cricketer spbijed by his par- tiality for one risky stroke? How often- do you see a batsman.fall a victim to one particular form of delivery ? How often do you see an otherwise capable batsman week on one particular stroke? The stroke does not get him out, but he I misses runs through his inability zo make it. Yet it is wonderful what can be done by laying oneself out to remedy these various pomts of weakness. The men affected by them do not always re- cognise the.ir .dficiny or dE'ficiw('ies. At present it is ho o.TW8 dnty to ?ee that they are remedied. The secretary does not see them; he is engrossed in other work, for surely if he is a conscientious secretary—and most county cricket sec- retards are supremely conscientious— the match day will be the one day above aU other days, on which what I mav call the routine duties will press most heav- ily upon him ? The captain may vote I many things, but he is not with the team much save on match dayt. Remedying Defects. I But if you had a team mar?ger, you would have in your service a man who coukl writch every stroke mad e and every ball bowled, -and I' suggest that that is precisely what he should be there to do: He might give advice almost on the instant. He might set about the task of remedying defects almost on the instant. Then again, he would be at hand to watch all (or nearly all) the practice in which the members of the team (and others) may engage. There his experience would be invaluable, and he himself would be constantly acquiring experience; experience which, he could draw up-on in the near future. He would fiso be in a position to suggest that a certain member of the side was not doing himself justice, or was lacking in keenness, and would also be ready to suggest the temporary in- clusion of a young player whom he might have been assiduously bringing on in the meantime. What secretary is in a. position to undertake work of that type P Some secretaries do this work to an extent, but they cannot be expected ot do it properly. Then, when matches did not engage his attention, the team manager could be constantly on the alert to unearth young talent. There is plenty about, of that I have always felt certain. In any big county where cricket is freely played, there are always young players who have the germ of cricket ability in them, but it is only the discriminating and discerning man who will detect that ability. For it is not always the bis- scoring local batsman, or the irresistible j bowler—on bRd wickets—in local cricket who will develop into a county crickcter. j A county cricketer must have the right temperament and only an expert can detect whether a young cricketer has the right temperament or not. The team manager will make mistakes, i. may be, but he will make far fewer than the less experienced official. And his knowledge and experience wi!l deepen and develop with each succcc<tiiig month of his term of service. t Ever on the ".9ui Vive." I I- I I I- it wouKt be tne cluty ot the team 'I' manager to get into touch with prac- tically every club of note in the couuty: t to visit at frequent intervals every j cricketing centre; to be ever on the P fIui vive" for the appearance on the! scene of a likely candidate ioi county honours. He would see that that candi-I date had every possible tuition. Ho would gradually familiarise him with the j cricketing connecting links between c*lub and county cricket, and he Iiinio'i j would do some of the coaching; for I am I assuming that only a man viLo knew everything fron: A to Z connected with county cricket would receive the ap- j oointment-

Swansea Town waJ. be playing their first inter-town match during the next few day. -a.t Penarth. At one time it looked ae if we would be erbort of playere. There i& now plenty of good talent avail- able, and those who have not been prao- tising must not take it for granted that they are going to be chosen. We have not yet seen Captain Bert Palmer in a practice game. Tom Quick, the captain of the has, on the other band, been at the J3sthe regularly, and ie as keen as moetard. Ho ia a thoroughly good goalie, ajid Cap- tain Palmer will have to look to his laurels. It bad been hoped that it would hare f been possible to take two teems to PeuaxtJi r" —the Firsts Mid the Seoonds. The arrangement has, however, proved unworkable.
