Boshier and Miss Donkin (accompanists), Miss Young (song), Mr Fair, Miss N. Meads and Miss A. Boshier (recitations),-Mr K. Perry and Master H. Saywell '(.songs). The finances of the local church were considerably benefited by the door receipts. An effort is being made locally, to get a longer service at the telephone 'exchange as many subscribers find they are unable to do all their business between the hours of 9 and 5. A further 10 subscribers from the s TfarGw<{trowa district have decided to join up, and it would not need many more to bring the total number up to 50, when we would be entitled to additional benefits.
