---_u"-.------Civic Welcome…
_u Civic Welcome to Carmarthen Troops. I PRINCESS JOINS IN THE CEREMONY I AND PRESENTS MEDALS. Carmarthen was gaily decorated with flags on Thursday in last week, when trie townspeople turned out in large crowds to join in a oivic welcome accorded to the local detachments of the 1st Welsh Field Co., Royal Engineers, and the 4th Welsh Regiment (under the command of Major J. F. do Rees). These two Territorial units draw their strength principally from the three counties 'of West Wales, and in them Carmarthen takes a special interest by reason of the fact .that- most of its soldier sons belong to them. Additional interest was invested in the occasion by the presence of Her Highness Princess Marie Louise—a guest of Sir Owen Philipps, G.C.M.G., M.P., and Lady Philipps at Coomb—who presented Military Medals to a number of local men. The men marched from the Barracks to Guildhall Square, headed by the band of the 2nd Welsh Remanent, and formed up iii front of a platform specially erected be- fore the Guildhall. Princess Marie Louise, who was accompanied by Sir Owen and Lady Philipps, was given a hearty recep- tion, and was received at the Council Cham- ber by the Mayor and Mayoress (Aid. and Mrs. Wm. Evans), Lord Lieutenant of Carmarthenshire (Mr. John Hinds, M.P.), Town Clerk (Mr. H. B. White), members of the corporation, and justices of the peace. Hear Highness was then escorted to the platform by the Mayor, and was again accorded an ovation by the large crowd in Guildhall Square. The Mayor said he had very great plea- sure in welcoming to the town Her High- ness Princess Louise, a member of the Royal Family, and he was sura that he was voicing the opinion of every citizen in the borough when he said that they were ex- ceedingly pleased to have the Princess among them that day (applause). In welcomiiig-the detachments, the Mayor spoke of the pride with which Carmarthen had followed the dongs of the two units in the East during the great war. Carmarthen boys, most of whom volunteered -,i ihe early stages of the war, had fought on all the theatres of the great struggle, and nobly upheld the glorious traditions of the town. The 4th Welsh and the Welsh Field Co., R.E., had a worthy record which v as second to none, and he was glad to see that the old town had risen to the occasion to give them a royal welcome. Mr. John Hinds, M.P., also welcomed the men, and referred to the stupendous efforts made by Great Britain to w:n the war. They in Wales, he said, were not backward. Of all the nations of the Allies, there were no people less prepared for war than the Welsh people. They were the children of the Sunday school, of our churh- es and chapels, and far was it for them to unsheath the sword once more, but when the call came to defend all that they loved best, the sons of Wales volunteered at once to fight for liberty, justice, and freedom (applause). Thousands had laid down their lives for a glorious cause, and in order that thoso at home should have liberty. Some of the men who had come back from the war were naturally becoming irritable, and he urged the people to be patient with the ex-service men, who, he said, would settle down some day. They had seen hell in the last four or five years, and that behoved all to help them. Despite the ravages of the war, Great Britain, said Mr. Kinds, was going to be great. He believed that we had a mission in the world, but that mision would again be accomplished if we were worthy of our great traditions and did our part (applauseV Major J. F. de Rees, responding, gave a record of the 4th Welsh in the war. The Battalion was mobilised on 4th August, 1914, and proceeded to their war stat'on on the Pembrokeshire ooaft. Having done duty in Pembrokeshire they went to Bedford in April, 1915, to join the 53rd Division. After further hard training the Battalion sailed for Egypt in July, 1015, to join the Medi- terranean, Expeditionary Force. Following a brief stay in Egypt they were ordered to th, Gallipoli Peninsula and took part :n the landing at Sulva Bay. On the first two days of the landing-the Battalion lost, in lclled, wounded and missing, no fewer than 449 officers and men. This number did not include the sick cases. The total stiengm on landing in Egypt was 750; 250 being left behind it Alexandria as first line re-inforce. nitmts. The Battalion took part in all the subsequent operations at Sulva Bay until tho evacuation on 12th December, 1915, After sustaining such heavy losses the strength was reduced to only 150, and as no senior officers were left owing to equalities, the Battalion was attached to the rem- nants of the 2nd S.W.B. for a period under the command if Lt-CoI. Going, D.S.O. What remained of "The Fourth" then re- turned to Egypt where they were on well- earned rest and re-fitted with clothing, &c. Next they took part in 'engagements against tho Senuss: Tribe, and afterwards proceeded for duty on the Suez. Canal, eventually taking part in the tight on the Sinai Pen- insula. Afterwards took place the first j, battle of Gaza, the second battle 01 Gaza, and a stubborn fight up to Beersheba, Khuweilfah, on to Hebron, Bethlehem, Jerusalem. The Welsh troops formed the first guard at the Jaffa gate in the historic city of Jerusalem. The Battal- ic,n afterwards participated in a battle on the Mount of Olives when they succeeded in driving off two fierce counter attacks by the Turks, whom they followed up and routed. An advance through Palestine ensued and there were many skirmishes in the Jordan valley. The Battalion took part in all the actions up to the period of the Armistice. They returned to Alexandria and assisted in the suppression of riots. Just before the Armistice the Battalion was under orders for Salon:ca to join in a bg attack against the Germans, but the cassation of hostilities ob\ iated this mission. The total overseas ser- vice of the Battalion ranged from July, 1915, until the return of the cadre on 10th Aug., 1919. In addition to taking part in various ■operations, further, Offkvsrs,'Warrant Officers, N.C.O.'s and men of the "Fourth" partici- pated in the fighting in France, Mesopo- tamia, and Salonica, and :n garrison duty at India and Gibraltar. The honours won by the Batttlion were: Three D.S.O.'s; twelve M.C.'s (including Capt. Howard White, Carmarthen, and Capt. A. J. G. Owen, The Palace, Aber- 5;wili): three Territorial Decorations; six XC.M.'s (including the late Segt. Orman, Carmarthen); three M.S.M.'s; numerous Territorial Efficiency Medals, and numerous "Mentioned in Despatches" (including Capt. Frank de Rolante Davies, Carmar- then). The different Gamanding Officers during the period of war were:-IA.-Col. W. Bramwell Jones. T.D., Llanelly; Lt.-Col. H. J. Kinsman; Lt.-Col. Hulton, D.S.O.; Lt.-Col. Hclher, D.S.O.; and Lt.-Col. J. W. Downes. D.S.O. M.C. The Batalion, concluded Major J. F. de Rees was now boil)}? reconstructed under the new Terri- torial scheme, with headquarters at Carmar. then. It was confidently anticipated that" a good many of the old members would re- enlist in the regiment. The Mayor then called upon Princess Marie Lousie, who amidst leud cheering, invested the .following with the Military Medal;— Corpl. W. Phillips, 6th Welsh Regt., of Railway-terr., Tumble (a Mons Star man and a native of Mydrim); Driver B. Davies, Royal Field Artillery; Corpl. T. Davies, Royal Engineers; Corpl. J. W. Kettley, Labour Corps, son of ex-Serg't- Major and Mrs. Kettley, Ferndale, Parcmain st., Car- marthen. Mr. and Mrs. Yeo, St. Catherine-st., Car marthen attended to receive the Military Medal won by their son, Corpl. Jack Yeo, 4th Welsr Regiment, who made the supreme sacrifice. Each were presented to tne s Princess who presented the medal to Mrs. Yoo, who was largely cheered. Ex-Sergt. Kettley, who accompanied his son, was also present. The Princess shook hands with each of the recipients, and congratulated thorn on their distinction. An impressive memorial service followed at St. Peter's Church, the procession from Guildhall-square to the church being joined by the Princess, who walked between the Mayor and Lady Owen Philipps. The pro- cession formed up in the following order:- Band of the 2nd Welsh, detachment of the R.E.'s and 4th Welsh, Magistrates, Mayor, and guests of the Lord Lieutenant, Town Clerk, members of the Corporation and officials, ec AN IMPRESSIVE SERVICE. At the entrance to the church, the pro- cession was met by the Bishop of St David's, the Vicar (Rev. B. Parry Griffiths, M.A.),' ,and other clergy, and the choir, who then walked in the front into the church, where there was a large congregation. The open- ing hymn, "Fight the Good Fight" was sung, while the Vicar intoned the openkig sentences of the Burial Service, and an appropriate lesson taken from the 3rd Chapeter of the Book of Wisdom of Solo- mon was read by the Bishop's Chaplain (Rev. Benjamin Davies, M.A., Vicar of St. David's). Prayers followed, and after sing- ing "For all the Saints," the Rev. Principal Welsh Regiment, delivered an address. He said that they were gathered in Church that day for a two-fold purpose-one in re- lation to themselves and the other in rela- tion to those who had laid down their lives in the supreme hour of their country's need. With regard to themselves, they were present to thank God for the success that had attended their arms, and for the victory which He had granted to their cause, and also for the safe return of the:lr gallant men to their homes. They Could not but feel that the uppermost thought in their minds was of those whom they had known, and who were not present that day. There were two themes in this connection which he de- sired to bring before his hearers. The first was to remind them of the great Christian doctrine ef the immortality of the human soul. They believed in the immortality of the soul and would look forward to the times when they would all gather together again. They believed it because it was part of the intuition which belonged to them. The second thema was that in that service they were doing honour to the mepiory of those who had fallen. There was a general tenciemcy in human nature to forget It seemed part of their nature that as the days went by things receded in the background, and they thought of them no more. But with regard to those men whom they had known in fellowship, they would never be forgotten. '■'You may search their names in vain on the pages of your country's his- tory," said the rev, gentleman "Honours perchance have not fallen to their lot, but we who knew them and Who, alas, can see them no more with the naked eye, can realise that their memory is something un. perishable." And finally there is the solemn assurance that the spirit which animated those men is the spirit we are sharing to-day. We are Britons, and because we are Britons we are proud of our allegiance to the King, of our love for our country and for our finer eentiment of honour, liberty and justice. We are ready to do whatever duty falls to our lot when the time comes. I cannot think of a finer motto than tha't of the Welsh Regiment, "Better death than dis- honour." We stand as a l<egiment for the principle of honour, ready to do what falls to our lot whenever honour is at stake. Tho "Last Post" was sounded by four buglers of the 2nd Welsh Band. The hymn, "0 God our help :,n ages past" having been sung, the congregation rendered the National Anthem to the accompaniment of the band. A deeply impressive service A,-as brought to a close with the Benediction, pro- nounced by the Bishop. The detachments, numbering about '50 strong, were afterwards entertained to 11 sumptuous tea, at the Church House, at which Princess Marie Louise and Sir Owen and Lady Philips were present.

LAMPETER. The first official clinic after the successful baby show was held at the Church Hall on Tuesday, September 23rd, when a good number of mothers brought their babies, ia,h,o were weighed and thoroughly exam- ined by the appointed Medical Officer for the clinic Dr Evan Evr.ns. The child wel- fare meeting will be held regularly on every,- alternate Tuesday, beginning on October 7. Butter has been very scarce hero for a long time, and some people and children have not ta&ted any for weeks. People who have money however buy 10, 20, or 30 lbs. of butter in crocks, while others cannot possible secure an once. In the old days, butter was so plentiful and cheaper, so it did not much matter who secured crocks, but now there is a vast difference, and the rich and poor should be on equal footing as regards procuring foodstuffs. The present serious crisis on the railways has rendered tho situation worse, and we can only hope that some means may be found to stop this terrible state of things. A public meeting was held at the Victoria Hall on Fr day evening to discuss the desira- bility of holding) an eisteddfod towards liquidating the debt on the Victoria Hall. Alderman Evan Evans, mayor, presided, and there was a good attendance. At the outset the Chairman read a letter which he had re- ceived from the Rev. W U. Dav es, re- gretting his inabilinty to be present and if it wits decided to hold an eisteddfod next sum- mer he would do his utmost to secure its success (cheers). The Chairman mentioned that the project had been d scussed previous, ly by the Town Council, when it was passec1 that the Mayor should call a public meeting to discuss it further. Messrs. Timothy Richards, J. D. Lewis, Garth; Councillor D. Davies, Mr. Edwards, Lloyd's Bank; Mr. Terwyn Davies, T. J Megicks, D. Teifi Joncv, Aldprman Lewi; WL Jlon, IBen Jones, and W. Lewis, Arfryn, addressed the meeting. It was elicited that several other el-te(ldfodait were to be held in August, 1920, so that the best dates had been chosen, while Ml Lewis, Arfryn, pointed to the fact that they required a lot of money again to make up the required sum to acquire the war memorial in oommemoration of the brave fellows from tho town who had sacrificed their livee for us. Ultimately it was oarried unanimously that an eisteddfod be held here on the second" Wednesday in August, 1921. The Mayor then read the Royal proclamation regarding the demob- ilised- soldiers and sailers who were out of employment. The Lampeter Borough Food Control Commctte held the first meeting of the new- ly-appointed commifltee at the Council Chamber, Victoria Hall, on Friday last, when the following were present:—Alder- man Evan Evans, Councillors David Davies, Wm. Davies, John Bartlett, and T. S. Morfian: Messrs. Rhys Thomas, Thomas Davies, Henry Rees, and Aubrey Thomas, and Mrs. Jones, Ivydene. The first busi- ness was to appoint a chairman, when Ald.

LLANDOVERY FOOD COMMITTEE…
LLANDOVERY FOOD COMMITTEE AND PROFITEERING. Sir,—In your "Journal" of Sept. 26th under the heading of the above Committee meeting, it's only fair the ptiblio should know the facts. At the Town Council meeting held Sept. 9th there were remarks passed by other members re profiteering, and Councillor Esmond remarked that was a serious reflec- tion on the committee. The informer was mentioned. I then remarked profiteering was rampant. Councillor Esmond got up to speak, when the Mayor ruled him out of order. On the Friday night following I received a letter inviting me to attend a Food Committee meeting at 6.15 p.m. on Monday evening, a time most unsuitable for me. I saw the Mayor and Ir. T. Handley on Monday afternoon. I told both I could not attend the meeting, and gave them my reason, which was not conveyed correctly by either of them to the meeting. The Mayor asked could II attend any other even- ing this week. I replied no. They both then remarked, "Its no use our going up." I asked why. They replied saying the meet- ing was arranged for me to attend. I asked, "Why did you arrange a meeting without first knowing whether I could at- tend, as business men should do." I may also state that the question of profiteering has not been taken up in the interest of the consumers or tradespeople, but personal lJre, judice and spleen on the part of some mem- bers of the Food Committee which the in- habitants are well aware of and are com- menting on daily. Why did they not invite the other members to the meotfng who started the question of profiteering as well as myself? When the two members attend I am prepared to explain the remarks I made.—Yours, &c., R. THOMAS.
. LLANSTEPHAN.
LLANSTEPHAN. The children of the National School have recently collected the eum of L2 15s. among themselves to be sent to the Blinded Sol- diers' Children Fund as a small tribute to those brave men who have lost their sight during the Wilr in fighting to protect them. The contributions were cheerfully given by the children towards this eacred cause. On Friday afternoon, 26th ult., passed away little Edwin Footman-Williams, at 3, Stratford Villas, the four-year-old son of Mr. J. Footman-Williams and Mrs. Footman- Williams, Llanwrtyd Wells. During the summer holidays, in company with his two elder brothers, he visited his grandmother and aunts, Mrs. Footman and the Misses Footman. Throughout the holidays hwas as merry as a lark, and full of glee at the attractions of the seaside, in company of a throng of other young boys. Suddenly seized with illness, every care and attention was bestowed upon him, skilful nursing and the best of medical skill proved unavailing, and the young life passed peacefully away, to the great grief of the parents and rela- tives, and the regret of all who had watched his particularly bright and intelligent little ways and his homely manner. The sym- pathy of all is extended to the sorrowing family in their peculiarly sad bereavement. The interment took place at the Parish Churchyard on Wednesday afternoon, 1st inst. An open-air meeting under the auspices of the National Unionist Association, was held at The Square on Thursday evening, 25th ult., and addressed "by Mr. Fred Howard. A full report appears in another column. Lieut. Hywel T. John, only son of the Rev. J. John and Mrs. John, The Elrrts, has arrived home on demobilisation. Joining up in the early days of the war, he soon received his commission, and went through most of the serious fighting on the Western I Front unscathed. Having nobly done his duty, both parents and son are to be con- giatu ated upon his safe return after live long years of weary waiting and anxiety. I On Tuesday morning, 30th ult., there was unusual liveliness, chiefly among the fair sex, who dearly love to witness a marriage ceremony, though many would much prefer being the hajipy couple than eager wit- nesses of an event which all hope to cele- biate sooner or later* On this particular morning, the flitting of motors and flying of banners denoted that Mr. Tom Llywelyn Harris, son of Mr. J. W. Harris, Holmes- dale, formerly of Pilrhoth, and Miss Sarah Muriel Thomas, only daughter of the Rev. D. E. Thomas and Mrs. Thomas, Park Villa, were to be united in holy matrimony. The bridegroom is well-known in the district, his father being one of the best known agricul- turists in West Wales, and a member of one of the oldest families in the district. The bride lias only resided here for a little over two years, when her father was inducted to the pastorate of Moriah. During that time she has endeared herself to a wide circle, and the attendance at the ceremony testified to the popularity of the young couple. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. D. E. Thomas (pastor), father of the bride, who was given away by her uncle, Mr. D. R. Jones, Cothy Hall, Nantgaredig; the brides- maid being Miss May Matthews, Brynglas, Pumpsaint, niece of the bride. The wed- ding party included Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Harries, Holmesdale; Rev. D. E. Thomas and Mrs. Thomas, Park Villa; Rev. Griffith Jones, vicar of Cai<i; Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Evans, Nantgaredig; Mr. D. J. Harries, Fairholme, Nantgaredig; Mr. Stephens and Mis& Stephens, and Miss 'Harries, The Grove; Mr. G. Bnrrett Evans, J.P., C.C.. j and Mrs. Evans, Y Glyn; Mr. and Mi?s Matthews, Pumpsaint: Mr. and Mrs. J. T. M. Harries, Carmarthen; Mrs. Jones and, Mr. D. Morgan Jones, Llanelly; &c. Fol- lowing the wedding breakfast partaken of at the home of the bride, the happy couple left with the best wishes of all their friends and acquaintances for a long and happy union. The list of presents is a long one, and the gifts are very valuable. The honeymoon is being spent at Llandrindod, which was reached by motor.
AMMANFORD.
AMMANFORD. The Ammanford exponents of the football codes did none too well on Saturday. The Rugby team, in an away game with Llanr gennech, had to swallow a defeat to the tune of a penalty goal and a try to nil, anti the Soccer foam could only share the points with Pontardawe, though, morally, they deserved victory. Ammanford's equalising goal came late m the second half through a beautiful shot by Ike ffhomas. Indeed, throlhout that half, the Pontardawe goal was subjected to a continuous bombard- ment. The ball hlt the loft upright, and then shaved the other, and the goalie just guided the third shot over the cross-bar, but, like some perverse spirit, it would not rrfttle into the net, until almost all hope ot eren a draw had been given up. The team showed improved form on the previous Saturday's play, and. barring a hesitancy in front of the goal, can not be said to have don badly. Johnny Morgan, the centre half, was the shining light. A half-mile foot race was run in the Re- creation Grounds on Saturday afternoon, between Dai Morgan, Tirydail, and Wyna- ham Davies, Ammanford. A large crowd watched the race, which was easily won by Davies, who simply "left" his opponent in the last 50 yards. Mr. J. M. Darbyshire wa.f tho starter and judge. The I.L.P. came in for a thorough troun- cing in the Ammanford Square on Thursday evening in last week, when! an open-air meeting was addressed by Messrs. F. Lud- gate nad C. P. Norman, of the Reconstruc- tion Society. A heckler, at the close, had to admit that Mr. Norman was "more well edumtoct" than he was, and the speaker modestly accepted the compliment, adding, amidst laughter, that that was why he joined up and fought for his country. The thanksgiving services q the St. Michael's Welsh Church were held on Sunday, when the special preachers were the Rev. Griffith Jones, B.A., Caio, and the Rev. J. D. Timothy, B.A., Conwil-Elvet. The church had been decorated with all man- iicr of fruit and flowers, and the services bi ought together large congregations. A concert in aid of tho widow of the late Mr. Thomas Williams, Margaret-street, was held in the Palace Theatre on Monday nigtht, Mr. David George, Bettws, presiding ever a large audience. The programme con. ?.isted of songs, instrumental solos, and reci- tations, by the followi ng:- Soprano, Madame Price-Jones; contralto, Miss Blod- wen Thomas, Ilool-las; tenor, Mr. T. Wal- ters, feettws; homorous vocalist, Mr. Jack Williams, of the Co-operative Society; elocu- tionist, Madame Maud Evans-Vaughan, Llandebie; and violinist,.Mr. T. J. Bowen, Bottws. The Bettws Male Voice Party, under the conductorship of Mr. Johnny Williams, gave. two glee renderings, "Away to the Forest," and "In the Sweet By-and- bye." The accompanist was Mr. Geo. I. Thomas, L.L.C.M. The Comrades of the Great War have advised their members to avoid taking sides in the railway dispute, but to do what they can to ensure the essential services of the country. #

The death took place on Saturday last at No. 34, Rhosmaen-street, Llandilo, of Miss Annie Evans, daughter of the late Mr. R.chard Evans, saddler and boot dealer, which "ud event took place after a lingering illness, at. the age of 51 years. The funeral took place on the 25th instant at the Taber- nacle Chapel, Ffa:rfach, Llandilo, an account of which will appear in our next issue.
LLANDYSSUL.
LLANDYSSUL. As a result of the railway strike which commenced on Saturday last the local regu- lar attendants at Carmarthen weekly market were greatly inconvenienced, causing much financial loss as they \yere obliged to sell their produce looally which mostly comprised of perishable goods in the way of dead poultry, rabbits, etc., at prices which wen* much under the purchase value. Persons returning from their holidays were stranded and were obliged to engage motor vehicles to convey them to their respective homes, in many instances extending over a hundred miles. Cattle from the district are being driven by road to places as far distant as Llanelly, Swansea, and Cardiff. Char-a- bancs being engaged for the conveyance of sheep and pigs. The local garages are over- whelmed with orders for the conveyance of passengers from place to place. The postal service at the time of writing is practically at a standstill, as all forward letters and parcels mails have been discontinued, onlv local service in 'the Llandyssul area and Velindre, Rhydlewis, Llangranog, Maesllyn, Ffostrasol, Cross Inn, Llanarth, and New Quay will be maintained. As a result the telegraphio service are taxed to their utmost capacity. There is a unanimous fooling locally of determination to economise and to loyally support the Government to defeat, this unwarranted and unpatriotic strike. 1 s it creditable to the local staff that they, to a manf presented themselves for duty O!t Saturday. All G.W.R. cars plying between here and New Quay have been ordered to Fishguard, evidently for road transport work. A strawberry of the Victoria variety mea- suring one and a half inches was picked from a strawberry bed in the garden of Mr. Joseph, G.W.R. passenger guard, last week. Another unusual sight for the time of year is apple blossom intermingling with ripe fruit on a' tree in the orchard of Mr. Jatpes Jones, Maesyeced. The burial took place at St. John's on Monday of the late Mr. David Davies, late of Esger Farm, now of Worcester, where he had resided for some time with his daugh- ter. The deceased was a well-known charac- ter in the district, and was 89 years old. The Rev. T. Madoo Jones, vicar, officiated. The remains of the late Elizabeth Jones, Brynteg, who was 83 years of age, were interred at Bethel burial ground on Friday last. The deceased had been a faithful member of Bethel Wesleyan Chapel for over 50 years. The Revs. Oliver and J. Elder officiated. A meeting was held at the National School on Monday last, when representatives of the various Church Sunday Schools which usually attend the Calan Hen Annual Festi- val for the purpose of making arrangements for the 1920 meetings. The portions of Scripture selected this year are from St. John, 13th ciiapter onward. The Rev. Madoe Jones has received a communication from the War Office that a field gun is being forwarded to Llandyesul, but owing to the strike it cannot arrive just yet. It is hoped that gQns will be taken for its reception and disposal when it does arrive.
