I thought perhaps the Sunday Mirror, but that was called the Sunday Pictorial until 1963, and in any case only consisted of 44 pages at the relevant time.

If you look very carefully it looks to me as though the cutting has been placed on top of something else.  The article has rough edges which suggests that it was torn out of the paper.  Just to the right of the article you can see what appears to be part of a word that belongs to the paper underneath.

There is also a thin black line under the 46 which disappears under the article and reappears on the other side.

So it could still be from the Daily Mirror but perhaps a local one to the area.

I am inclined to agree with GG that this could well be from a local newspaper.

If it was from a national daily, particularly one printed in London I'd perhaps have expected a little more about where the village was located. It seems to imply local knowledge by just giving the village name.

Unfortunately the excellent online coverage of Welsh newspapers via the National Library website only goes up to 1919.
