The Levin Daily Chronicle FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1928. LOCAL AND GENERAL.

The. Levin Band, under Conductor G. Lester, will render a programme in front of Messrs Lur.n and Henley’s, Oxford Street, to-morrow evening, commencing at 7 o’clock. The list of outings arranged by the Levin-Waiopehu Club has been reprinted on stout paper and members may now obtain copies from the secretary. The trip along the Arapaepae hills on Sunday will be of particular interest as it will afford a good view of the country on both sides of the ridge. A start will be made from the top of Queen Street,' and the ridge will then be traversed as far as the heights at the back of Shannon. If there is a big party U will be necessary to arrange for a bus, so that the whole party can be met on the Shannon Road in the afternoon. Everyone who intends going should notify the secretary to-morrow. The fifth Catholic social and dance of the season was held in the Do Luxe Hall last evening, and it proved to be the most successful of the series, the attendance beating previous records. The floor was in fine condition, and bright music was supplied by the Alhambriah Orchestra. Extras were kindly played by Misses Grace McDonald and Una Bull, and Mr C. McLeavey very capably carried out the duties of M.C. The ‘ supper,, provided by the ladies’ committee, was a notably attractive feature of a function which was enjoyable in every way. A meeting of the. Leyin branch of the League of Nations was held in the Band Room last evening, Mr W. Balloon presiding. As a number of other functions were being held, the. attenddaiice was somewhat small, but those, who were present were enthusiastic, and they listened with much interest to an address by Mr R. McAllister on the contribution of the Labour movement towards peace, a report of which address will be published in a later issue of the “ Chronicle.’’ A general discussion followed the address. The branch also, considered the question of securing more members, and it was left to those who had attended, the meeting to endeavour to stimulate enthusiasm for the aims of the Union, it was mentioned that the Wellington branch was trying’, to secure the introduction of suitable literature in the school curricultimv '

A party of Druids from Otaki visited Levin last evening and engaged in a tournament with members of Hprowhenua Lodge for the euchre shield. The result, was a win for Levin by 27 games to 24.

The closing gathering for the season of the Whakatane Club was held, at the Cl;ub rooms last evening, when there was a large attendance and an interesting time was spent in listening to a talk by Mrs A. W. Hutchings, who gave some of her Oppressions of Paris. Mrs Hutchings’s address was made additionally attractive by an ing display of examples of French craftsmanship. These included a wonderfully hand-worked tablecloth, in which the art was so skilful that none but au expert could tell from which side the colours had been applied; beautiful hand-made lace, and an amusing little dapeing figure. On behalf -of the club, Mr Terry Tuphy thanked Mrs Hutchings for having provided the members with an educational entertain* raent which they had all appreciated. He mentioned. that she had been the first lecturer to the club, which was formed this year, and it was a happy circumstance that the session should be completed by another address from Mrs Hutchings. A vote of thanks was passed by acclamation, and Mrs Hutchin reply, said that she was always pleased to assist at gatherings of young people, and she was glad t’j find that the club had had a prosperous season. Before'the meeting dispersed, a tasty supper was handed round. , i • A lady doctor in England has just declared that smoking :is a wonderful preservative of the teeth, and that although the teeth of some smokers may be discoloured they are generally sounder than those .of the non-smokers. So many hard things have been said about, tobacco .that it is refreshing to find a lady—and a lady medico at that—putting in a good word for the weed. Of course every smoker knows that smoking prevents or arrests dental decay. What every smoker does not know, or at all events ignores, is that an excess of nicotine in tobacco is highly injurious. And that’s where our New Zealand tobaccos come' in. Being comparatively free from nicotine they may be smoked almost incessantly without' affecting the nerves or heart. Moreover, they are all toasted—-hence their fine flavour and delightful aroma. Made in several strengths they appeal to all tastes. Riverhead Gold, mild and aromatic; Toasted Navy Cut (Bulldog) is a fragrant medium; and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bull’s Head)-*a fine full flavoured' tobacco. They are on sale every-where.—-22,*-- v The “Begg” piano, embodying ev.ery desirable modem feature and supported ;by a guarantee of ten years, is being offered in another part of this issue for the ridiculously low deposit of £2 IQs.
