Notes of the Week.
The efforts of a few friends to provide a little gift to soldiers on furlough at Ammanford, who are returning to the front, are very commendable; but we venture to suggest it would be more satisfactory and more worthy of the town if there was a common fund through which the inhabitants could shew their appreciation of what these gallant men are doing.
It has not been creditable to see some men in khaki coming home un-welcomed, and allowed to return without any recognition. In the neighbouring town of Pontardulais, returned warriors, who have been wounded, have been greeted by the inhabitants heartily, and the Town Band has turned out to head the welcoming throng.
We believe it only needs this suggestion for the Chairman of the Urban Council, as the head of the community, to organise a local fund, out of which each man returning to the front shall be given some token of the feeling we entertain regarding their sacrifice, and which will make them feel while fighting that they are well thought of by the community to which they belong.
