Ex-Captain W. J. Benyon is representing the Kumara Volunteer Fire Brigade at the United Fire Brigades’ Conference in Auckland. The secre* (ary, Mr W. J. McNabb, of Kumara, will represent the Ross Brigade at the conference. Mrs Johnston, of Lumsden, is visiting her daughter, Mrs Don Brown. On March 31 the well-known milk delivery firm, known as Passmore's will cease delivery of milk. For over 60 years, seven days a week, in all weathers, this firm faithfully served their numerous customers, and when they cease delivery it will be a distinct loss to the community. The St. Patrick’s picnic was held at Arahura Valley last Sunday, and was well attended. Several large lorry loads of citizens made the journey and all report a very enjoyable outing.
