Now that there are so many starred men in Ammanford, who are thus relieved of the bogey of enlistment, is it too much to expect that some at least of these men will shew their willingness to do their little bit by joining the V. T. C.?
This body has not come up to expectations numerically, and it is difficult to locate the cause. It is said that some of the married men, even of those that have joined, have been persuaded to give it up for fear they may have to stop out a night or two to guard the waterworks or Rhydymaerdy Bridge; at any rate, there are numerous regular absentees from drill.
Probably now that there is some prospect of rifle practice a fillip will be given to the movement. Two rifles have already been presented, and it is anticipated that before long others will be forthcoming, so that the members can indulge in a little friendly rivalry and probably secure a welcome goose in a Christmas prize-shooting competition.
