Greymouth Evening Star, 14 June 1944, Page 4

The first of two street days to be held in Greymouth, this week, on behalf of the Allied Nations Week, took place to-day. Collectors on behalf of the women and children of occupied countries met with a good response.

Mr. L. Shuker presided over a meeting of about 50 members of the Blaketown Home and School Association, on Monday, when it was decided, in view of the amount of correspondence handled, to purchase a typewriter for the joint use of the Secretaries of the Association and the School Committee. It was also decided to combine with the Cobden State and Convent Schools in a shop day for patriotic purposes. Proposals were advanced for the erection of a supper room at the back of the school hall, a decision to be made at the next meeting. Mrs. L. O’Donnell, who recently relinquished the position of caretaker of the school, was presented with a cushion on behalf of the Association and Committee. At the conclusion of the business 50 members of the Blaketown Home and School Association were entertained at a social function, including dancing. A play was presented by Mesdames R. Longstaff (producer), W. Mitchell, Lyons, E. Hillman and W. Herring.

What woman will deny that washing is really hard work? Scrubbing, rubbing, wringing, standing over a steaming copper, then struggling out into the yard in all kinds of weather with a heavy basket of clothes—it’s nothing but drudgery. Well, why do it? Let the Westland Laundry take iover your weekly wash. We guarantee you complete satisfaction, and our modern washing and ironing machines cause far less wear and tear than the old fashioned scrub board. If you do not want them fully finished, try our bag wash. The cost is reasonable. Our No. 2 Thrifty Service, 181bs. t flat work fully laundered for only 5/- is one of our most popular services.
