Aberdare A deputation from the Aberdare Town Council was received
at the Spectator office on Friday, July 26th, when a silver statuette of a miner, with the following inscription, was presented to the Spectator, in recognition of its work, and the generosity of its readers, in con- nexion with the Aberdare Fund.
To the SPECTATOR, from the Townsfolk of Aberdare, in grateful recognition, January-April, 1929. " The greatest of these is Love."
The deputation consisted of Canon Lewis (the Vicar of Aberdare), Mr. T. Botting (the Director of Education and Treasurer of the Fund), and Mr. Glen George. We desire to pass on to our readers, who so liberally contributed not only money but clothing, the thanks of the deputation, and to assure them of the deep appreciation of the help and encouragement which they gave to the people of Aberdare in their distress. The amount collected was £12,401 7s. 11d., in addition to the large quantities of gifts in kind. * * * *
