THE CHILDREN'S HOUR
A DISAPPOINTING INTERRUPTION DISPLAY TAKES PLACE TO-MORROW. Only once did the rain fall yesterday. It was light enough, but with 3,000 children no risks can be taken; consequently the lingo demonstration of marching and physical drill at the stadium had to bo postponed until tomorrow afternoon.
But the hi" crowd that assembled at 2.30 to witness the display had a generous foretaste of the wonderful spectacle. Under their leader, Mr A. P. Roydheuse, the groups went through many of their evolutions, marching to megaphoned directions and to music supplied by the Kaikorai Band. The sight when the flag was saluted was most impressive. Following the salute some further exercises were performed, but the rain fell threateningly, and after a consultation between Mr Jtoydhouse and the head teachers the children were withdrawn. Ironically enough, the sky was at its brightest soon afterwards.
