O’Regan, who has been in charge of the Inangahua Landing Post and Telephone Office for the past 26 years, has relinquished control df the office, and it is now m charge of Mrs William Patterson. It is more than likely the whole'of the interior of the Westport Post Office will be renovated some time between now and the end of the year. The unsightly picket fence in Brougham Street is to be removed and placed further back, when the appearance of the place will be more in. keeping with the improvements being made to the ground fronting the Public Works Office.

Ahern, of the Post and Telegraph staff, is under orders of transfer to Eltham. Notwithstanding the change in the weather and other attractions, the weekly entertainment at St Canice’s Club lastni ght attracted a good attendance. Dancing to Miss Curtis s delightful music engaged the attention of a number to an early hour. The usual card tournaments were held, the winners being Mesdames Thurlow and Hartigan and Messrs McDonnell and McCleary (euchre) and forty-fives. Special mention should be made of the good work of the ladies’ committee supper arrangements being always complete in every 7 detail. Miss Anderson won the forty-fives. Mr C. V. Smith, father of the- child killed at Denniston, writes, stating that his child was not seen until after the accident. Two other boys were poking sticks at the wheel.
