PORTHCAWL ALLOTMENTS I
PORTHCAWL ALLOTMENTS. I COUNCtL'S BOLD SCHEME. I "LAND FOR ALL WHO CARE to APPLY." I reported in our last week's issue, the ouæLl.)Q of aHoiments was very thü[(f,h¡v -,OrLe into at Last week'& meeting of the Porthcawl CouncN. The matter wa.s intmdtuced by the reading of a ietl-er from the Buaj-d of Agriculture on !the subject of the supply of seed potatoes, ot.c., to smalt cultivators, and suggesting that publtc bodies should circufla.rise the pub- lic in. the master. Mr. Deere pro that that. be dmie. Mr. D. J. Recs, in seconding, suggested that n might be advisable to insert an ad- vertise.man.t in the local papers. Mr. Dan Davies en the other hand thought the nrst thing was to get the land. People in the town were asking "where a.re you going to get your taTid?" In oircnlaritring people on such subjects as aeed potatoes at tha.t stiage they were putting the cart before the horse. Mr. David Jones thought the Council should notify the County Council that they wanted Further powers. I*p to now the Sma'M Holdings Act had been a perfect failure ao faj- as Porthcawl wan concerned. He tnoved that they ask for the necessary powers. Thi W;lS carried. Later in the evening a similar riution was proposed by Mr. T. G. Jones. He moved that the Council approach the County Coun- cil with a view to the better working of the SmaJI HoMings Act in Porthcawl. There were many people in the town who felt ag- grieved: that they had not had land under the Act. He suggested that the County Coun- cil be asked to meet a deputation of that Council. At the present time they had six- teen appUca-nta for 15 acres. In that number were several who were able and wilihng to ioultivate 50 acrea. That, of ooursa. waa out of their power to deal with, but in order to facilitate mattery and with a- view to getting theae applicants the land they ha<&id the ConmcN had no power, as a Council, to TtndertaJce such a.n enterprire. Mr. Jones: No, but we are at war, and aTe under aa: obligation to produce as much food M poeaiMe. The C%airman rpmin<- quired the manure for the very safme purpose for their own workmen. Mr. Thatcher then gave detailed particu- lars of the various plots of land available, their size, position, etc., and conetudted with the suggestion that the Inspector of the Hor- ticultural Society be brought into consultation in order that the Council might have the ad- vantage of the advice of an expert. Mr. T. G. Jones said Mr. Hatcher's report strengthened his resolution. They had more land now than they had applicants for. Hia motion waa that the Council should let it be tmown that they were prepared to find allot- ments for all who applied for them, and that they themselves cultivate ten acres. Mr. Dan Daviea suggested that it should &W be given out that the Council waa pre- pared to plough up the new plots, to &nd the iand, but men fought shy of the labour of breaking it up in the irrst place. This was incorporated in the motion, and the whole was carried.

W. G. Branch came to the Tillage in the capacity of curate of Pencoed and Brynna. In quite a remarkably s hort period of time he won the anection and esteem of nearly aJl who knew him. He was an ardent Temperance re- former ajid Prohibitionist. His temperance principle's and his fratemaJ. illations with Nonconformists made his presence in the vil- tage undesira-ble to & few who a-re on the side of the forces ot reactiem, and the few hare wen their triumph. His departure, however, waa not allowed to take place without the majority showing in tangible form their opinion of him. Hence the public meeting in the Public Hall on Fri- day of last week. The meeting was pt&- sided over by Mr. W. J. WaJford, who briefly etxpressed his regret at the departure of Mr. Branch. The nrst speaker was Mr. John Owen, Penprisk, who spoke of his admiration for Hi. Branch on account of the latter's Tcm- pe.ran..œ principles, his Ntraightforwardnesa, and his broadmindedness. The Rev. D. WA Howell said that Mr. Branch was leaving because of his Temper- ance principles and his friendly relations with Nonconformists. His principles had cos't him something, and Mrs. Branch had had to pay the cost as well. Mr. Branch be- iieved in the Holy Catholic Church. Some belonged to a section of the Christian Church and imagined that that section was the Chuii-ch. Mr. Branch was too big a man and too big a Christian for that. Miss Wilmott said Mj\ Branch was doing what our soldiers were doing, fighting for the right. He was leaving Pencoed because of doing 80. His short stay had already done good. There was need of more unity. Rev. D. Davies, Penuei Baptist Church, also teatined to. his admiration for Mr. Branch. Mr. Branch had a smile for every- body, and was a man of goodwill towards all. He was wiDing to be aH things to all men, in order that 11. might &are some. Refer- ence was aJao made to Mr. Branch's influence over boya, and to hM work in raising and carrying on a troop of Boy Scouts. Mr. Branch was a friend to the young people of aH denominations. He (Mr. Davies) had found out in his work as pastor thai Mr. Branch had innueneed peopte for good through visiting them in their homes. Mr. Br&nch's nrst concern, was to bring people to Christ nrst and t. the Church after. He (Hr. Da vies) was & better Baptist and a bet- ter Temperance man because of Mr. Branch's example of loyalty to principle. We needed more unity. There might still be need of more g&rden walls, but let us see to it that we had the open aky above. County Councillor John Rees, J.P., then presented Mr. Branch, on behalf of the sub- scribere, with an inkstand, which will have a suitable inscription upon it. Councillor Rets &aid he was glad to be present. He knew that the village wae losing a good ma-n in Josmg Mr. Branch. The testimony of his brother minister swas of special value, for they had the best means of knowing one an- other, and could best enter into each others' feelings and sentiments. He (Coun'ciHor Rees) waa glad to hear Mr. John Owen's tri- bute as coming from a Churchman. Refer- ence waa a!ao made to the fact that Mr. Branch had married a Calvinistic Methodist missionary in India. He wished them both all success in their new sphere. It was a grajid opportunity. In Mr. Branch's calling there was not only need of conceptions of doctrine, but also that that doctrine should become an experience. Councillor R&as then made the formal pre- sentation, accompanying the act with a few felicitous phrases. The gift was not t.) b<* regarded so much on account of its intrinsic value as for the feelings that prompted !t. Miss Cajia Davies at the same time pre- sented Mr. Bra-nch with a Treasury note case contaiTung a sum of money-in itself a most eloquent token of the attitude of the v',lage to the recipient. The note case itself was Mias Da-vies's own gift. In nuking the pre- sentation Miss Daviea aa.id that Mr. Branch's stay among them had been mos.t useful and had done much good. His departure was a loss to the village. She wished Mr. and Mrs. Branch all success in their new sphere. Mr. W. J. Wadford, speaking on behajlf of the Penuel Mutua-t Improvement Society, apologised for the non-arrival of the book which the Society had intended presentmg to the reverend gantlemaji, and which had been ordered. Mr. Branch carried with him the best wishes of the Mutual Improvement So- ciety, which was losing a most valuable mem- ber. In the papers Mr. Branch had read at the Society's meetuigs he ha<d been careful cot to be over critical. He had not been ha.rd on the amateurist attempts of some of their members. He atso wished Mr. -Branch aH success in his new sphere. Rev. W. Bra-nch, in responding, said he had thought of words to say, but they had gone. He was overwhelmed by everybody's kindness. All who counted had wished him God speed. He might say v.itbout conceit that he had travelled a great deal. When in China, in 1904 he came in contact with an American Baptist miasion&ry, and as a. result his life was changed. He became converted. It stood to reason he could not be bad fiends with Baptists. His wife was a. C3Jlvinistic Methodist, so he must be friends N-.ith the Calvinistic Methodists. Reference had been made to Mrs. Branch as his better ha.tf. In Irdia a gentleman had referred to her as 'Mr P. ranch's better three-quarters. (Laugh :or.) His wife had strengthened him, and had sup- ported him In the action he had taken at Pencoed. He thanked all sincerely for their expressions of goodwill. Brotherhood was a vet'T valua.Me thing in this world. He couM not express adequately his gratitude for what had been said and all that had been done. Referring to the Mutual Improvement Society he (Mr. Branch) had bao&ted moM by the Mutual Improvemet Society than ihg So- ciety had benented by him. Mr. Hisoook, Wimbome Road, next bore testimony to Mr. Branch as one who had beem his friend and adviser. Be hoped Mr. Brajtch'a aervicea in his new sphere would be apprecia.ted. Mr. Owen James said Mr. Bra.noh had been a valuable asset in the life of the Mutual Im- provement Society. Reference was easomade to Mr. Bra.nch'a labour not only in coinmeo- tion with his own communion but for the whole village. Mr. Branch was a man for the whole community. He was & man of ac- tKm. Who eke in the T:'la.ge would have ha.rboua'ed a lot of boys in their home as Mr. Branch had done? (This, it may be said, was a reference to the fact that Mr. and Mis. Branch threw open their house several even- ings tn the week to the boys belonging to the Scoot movement). Mr. John Williams said the meeting had been an inspiring one to him. Mr. Branch was a man of many parts, and he played a]il those parts well. Mr. Branch was broad- minded, and cosmopolitan in religion. He had created a stir in Pencoed. Miss Edith Jenkins said she had crossed aworda with Mr. Branch and had found him a splendid opponent. She, too, believed that if we lived for the highest, we would be per- secuted. She hoped his experience away would be a very happy one. Parish Councilor W. H. Pickering saJd he was pleased to be present to hear the wonder- ful words said about Mr. Branch. He, Mr. Pickering, did not know him personally, but ho admired him. Mr. Branch nad a friendly smile for all, irrespective of denomination. He admired Mr. Branch for his Temperanee principles. He was their friend and would al- ways be so. It was a loss to lose so good a man as Mr. Branch and so good a woman aa Mrs. Branch. After an omnibus vote of thanks proposed by the Rev. D. W. Howell, and seconded by Rev. D. Davies, and responded to by Mr W. J. Walford and Councillor John Rees, the meeting closed with the singing of "God be with you till we meet again." Rev. W. G. Branch pronounced the Benediction. Men- tion should be made of the contributions to the interest and eujoyment of the evening by the pianoforte and violin solos of Miss Camna Da vies, assisted In the latt-&r by Miss Annie Da-vies; aLso the vocal contributions off Miss Olwen Pearoe and Mr. Evan Samuel. Mr. Branch has already entered upon his new sph ere of labour at All Saints' Church, Newport. An interesting fact is that the rev. gentleman came all the way from India to enlist, but could not pass the requisite tests.</p> </div> <div class="article-box sidebar_collapsed"> <h5 id="modHeaderART5" expandable="true" data-articleid="ART5" class="viewer-sidebar-article-link">Advertising</h5> <p id="modART5" class="modARTItem">A Puritan Greeting A PUritan Greeting ?

It is no- thing short of scandalous that our noble and gallant men's hardships abroad at the various fronts should be added to by the bitter thought that their loved ones at home, living in the midst of people whom this terrible war benents, should be neglected, and have to go with less comforts and necessaries than would have been the case if their relatives had shirked their duty to King and country, and remained at home, as thousands of them could have done. The truth is—and it should be told-there are thousands at our fronts who should be home, and thousands home who should be at our fronts, and among the latter thousands we have most of the people who will not raise a finger to help our brave soldiers' dependents. This is the day of judgment, and men proclaim to the world what they are made of. T It is now more than 60 years ago since the close of the Crimean War, during which, as now, the prices of many of th. necessaries of life soared beyond the reach of the very poor. Wheat reached a guinea a bushel, and hun- dreds in Glamorgan had to live on barley, wit<h which we subsequently fed our pigs. One day a Penooed man, wh o&e grandsons are still with us, went to Mr. John Howell, Bryn- cwttin Farm, guinea in hand, to purchase a bushel of wheat. Mr. Howell was not over- ready to sell, so the purchaser emphasised his request with the statement that he had the guinea to pay down. Oh," said Mr. Howell, Clthat decides the question. I have only a very limited supply, which I must keep for those who have not their guinea to pay down. You, Morgan, with your guinea In hand, can have the wheat in dozens of farms around here, but I must economise the little I have for some poor people who have n ogniaea to pay down, but must have time to pay. See Morgan, there comes one of them now. I warrant he has not a guinea. The guinea- less man had the bushel; and Morgan had to seek his elsewhere. Gentle reader, doif your hat to the memory of Mr. John Howell, and wonder not that his name is revered here to this day. His son, Mr. W. Howell. whom we lost so recently, bore very many of his father's characteristics, and that is why we so deeply deplore his exit from the stage of time. May his tribe increase!</p> </div> <div class="article-box sidebar_collapsed"> <h5 id="modHeaderART9" expandable="true" data-articleid="ART9" class="viewer-sidebar-article-link">Advertising</h5> <p id="modART9" class="modARTItem">Up-to-date ftppH&noeN for turniur out erwry I iÑU8 of work at competitive prioea, <tt th< *€HMnort<m GMeMw Ptunmg works.</p> </div> <div class="article-box sidebar_collapsed"> <h5 id="modHeaderART10" expandable="true" data-articleid="ART10" class="viewer-sidebar-article-link">ISOUTH GLAMORGAN</h5> <p id="modART10" class="modARTItem">I SOUTH GLAMORGAN.

This would\)nly take place, however, when the objects for which they had unsheathed the sword had been at- tained. (Cheers.) After reviewing the war, and declaring that the nnancial policy of the Liberal party prior to the war had stood the greatest test that could ever have been im- posed upon it, he said that the part taken in .this colossal stT-,(4gle by our leaders would only be seen in tLS true greatness when their actions could he seen in true perspective. (Cheers.) As for the future, there would be a new race of men, altered by experience and purihed by sacrinces. There wouldhaT8 to be social re-organisation by a proper system of education, by community of interests as be- tween Capital and Labour, and by re-organi- sation of the great industrial questions of the day. (Cheers.) Subsequently, Mr. W. Jones Thomas, J.P. Barry, proposed the adoption of Mr. E. D. Jones as candidate. Mr. Tom John, who at tbo Executive Corn mittee- proposed the name of Mr. A. A.

Mr. Mildon (Radyr), who had submitted the name of Lieutenant Tudor Rees to the Execu- tive, also supported the motion, which, when put, was unanimously amd enthusiastically carried. I Mr. E. D. Jones returned thanks, and ex- pressed the conndent hope that, with their aid, he would be able to carry the old flag of I Liberalism once moro to victory. (Cheers.)</p>
