We hope, next week, to be in a. position to
give further details as to the great extent of the need. Many readers signify their willingness to send a weekly remittance so long as the need exists, and one farmer has undertaken to forward a side of bacon each week until further notice. The Times of Wednesday said, that while the immediate necessities were acute, they would continue for a long time, and for that reason the practice of " adopting " towns or even parishes was to be commended. Among the letters to the Editor will he found several from Aberdare. Canon Lewis, the Rural Dean, compares the days of the town's prosperity with to-day ; a member of the Urban District Council, Mr.. W. J. Hodges, draws attention to Aberdare's suitability as a centre for the establishment of new industries. We wish we could think, that through our efforts some new industry might be established in Aberdare. It would be a lasting tribute to the interest of our readers in the welfare of its adopted town.
