their congratulations to those officially
voted by his proud employers, the
Rhondda Urban district council.
Gardner never had music lesson.
He knows nothing of the technicalities
of composition. His sole previous ef-
forts made Is years ago resulted in
only three austere hymns. He has sung
in the famous national Eisteddfod
however, and taught himself to play
on a wheeZy secondhand organ which

set them to music, Gardner insisted
that the task was beyond him unless
he received divine inspiration.
