Fire Extinguished by Rain,—The Central Fire Brigade received a call to a scrub fire at Halsey street, South New Brighton, at 6.55 p.m. yesterday. Approximately three acres of dry grass ■and scrub were well ablaze when the brigade arrived, but heavy rain began soon afterwards, and the fire was quickly extinguished.

“POP” HEDAWAY The popular new Chef at the Strand Tea and Dining Rooms, Cathedral Square.

Between 7 p.m. and midnight “Pop” serves the tenderest and juiciest grills you’ve ever tasted. The quality of the food at the Strand is the best—only the finest tasty cuts of steak are used for grills . . . when you order steak and eggs you get TWO eggs. In addition, with all grills—bacon and eggs, etc,, you’re served with a little lettuce, mashed potatoes and beetroot, which makes a balanced meal.

The Strand cater for all comers at all hours—morning teas, lunches, dinners and suppers. The Strand milk shakes and ice cream sodas have the best flavours in town. For good food—cooked to a turn and appetisingly served—try the Strand Tea and Dining Rooms, between the Crystal Palace and Woodward's, the tobacconist, in the Square.
