Noson gyda glowyr Cymru
A Welsh Miners' Night

'This was my native land, the mother queen
Who suckled me, and fairer there is none,
She's wronged no soul-her history is clean;
Her language is the sweetest 'neath the sun-
Dear Wales is loved and worshipped by her every son.' (Huw Menai)

It is not generally known that a quarter of a million men are employed in the Coal Mining Industry of Wales, and that, in normal times, the annual output exceeds fifty million tons. Out of every ton of coal produced in the world, one hundredweight represents the contribution from Wales-a contribution which has been described by Mr. Lloyd George as 'the life blood of the nation'. Welsh miners are famous for their musical qualities, and they invariably sing at their work. In to-night's programme will be found the most popular of their songs, whilst an occasional background will be provided by the noises of the pits.

Dai and Ianto at Work
In the 2ft. 9in. Seam Ynyswen, a typical Welsh mining village in the heart of the Rhondda Valley, with its long rows of dwelling-houses closely hugging the mountain side. It was at one time one of Nature's beauty spots, but the hand of toil and industry has altered its appearance. In the valley below runs the River Taff, alongside of which nestles Penlan Colliery, with its tall scaffolding and winding machinery standing out conspicuously. Near at hand, like a long, straggling pyramid, stands the tip, which at any moment threatens to overwhelm the several houses and school at its foot.
Dai and lanto are Welsh colliers. who have worked at Penlan since their early boyhood days. Dai is aged about fifty, and Ianto is in the early twenties. They are both of medium height but of slight build, with very pronounced Celtic features-their faces and hands bear the honoured blue coal marks of their calling. We will follow them in a few moments of their day's 'shift'.
