LOCAL AND GENERAL.

A director of the firm raising the German vessels at-Scapa states that a cat-o’-nine-tails, with a German officer’s name on it, was among the objects found in one destroyer. Canada, has become Italy’s rival as a manufacturer of macaroni. Three years ago the Dominion imported 7,000,0001 b of - macaroni. Last year it imported only 100,0961 b. from Italy, while Canadian factories turned out 12,C00,0001b. The pupils of St. Mary’s Day School are preparing for a concert as advertised elsewhere iu our columns. As the date originally fixed clashed with the break-up of the Technical School, it has been decided to put the concert forward to Wednesday, December 17. The members of the local branch of the W.E.A, are reminded of the meeting on. Eridav at 8 p.m. As large an attendance as possible is requested, as the syllabus for the next sessions will be under review. Suggestions as to the subjects to be taken up will be welcomed. Intending new members are specially invited. As the first, social event under the auspices of the newly formed Rowan Tennis Club a. dance‘is to be held in the Rowan Hall to-morrow (Friday) evening. The committee includes several of the local enthusiasts, whose successful organisation of previous danees in the hall lias made it a popular rendezvous. Waltzing and novelty competitions are to be featured, and all appointments may be relied upon to give satisfaction. The added interest which will be taken in to-morrow’s dance by members of contemporary clubs should ensure a good attendance, and an enjoyable evening may be anticipated.

The young folk of .the Auroa district may look forward with pleasure to the Christmas tree in- the Sail to-morrow night. Great efforts are being made to give the children a real good time.
