THE Inangahua Times THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 1934 LOCAL AND GENERAL

A very pleasant time was spent in the Methodist schoolroom at Greytown on Wednesday evening, when Mi A. P. Dorrain, who recently joined the Methodist ministry and was appointed to Reetton, was entertained at a farewell social. The Methodist and Presbyterian Bible Classes combined, and after the usual class, games were indulged in. In an interval before supper, the Bev H. White made eulogistic reference to the excellent work done by Mr Dorrain for the Church and Bible Classes. Miss L. Haigh and Mr G. Greathead aleo spoke, and the latter handed the guest of the evening a book from the Methodist Class. Mi Dorrain appropriately acknowledged the gift. The evening was brought to a close with the girls' camp song and Auld Liang Syne." See the new knitting books, the latest. Jußt arrived at Miss Cohen’s. 1

The nominations received last evening for the Reefton Jockey Club’s Autumn Meeting onl April 11th total 125, eight lees than were received for last Autumn gathering. The entries contain some useful sorts with nothing outstanding, and the racing should prove most interesting. The horses were judged at the Sydney Royal Show. Visitors from New Zealand witnessed the greatest number of Clydesdales ever paraded here, which emphasises the great comeback of the horse to the man on the land. Last year there were 56 Clydesdale stallions, and this year 105. while there were no fewer than 903 entries in the various horse events, which severely taxed the existing accommodation of the Show Ground. The first and second awards respectively for Clydesdale stallions, three years and two years, were won by New Zealand importations. A combined schools sports meeting will take place on the Reefton Racecourse on Saturday afternoon, commencing at 2 p.m. A good afternoon’s sport is sure to be witnessed.

Following publication in the Mel bourne Univfersity students’ newspai ers '‘Farrago” of a leading articl to which public exception was as ‘ ‘blasphemous and disloyal,” the editors of the paper have been removed from office. The Professorial Board decided to notify the !Students’ Representative Council that its approval of the present editors of * ‘ Farrago ’ ’ was withdrawn. The article to which objection was taken was addiiesed to new students. They were called upon by the editors to be “cynical and disillusioned.” The editors added: “We mean more than a mefe realisation of the fact that the average ‘fresher’ is not a simplesouled, clean-minded, fresh-faced public school boy. By your own experience you know him to be pimply of face and foul in thought and wtord, if not In deed.” The article also said: “Your time spent heite may be the only time (in which you can intelligently inquire into the meaning of the vague unquestionables, the Holy Ghost, King and Country, max riage, etc. After clearing away a large mass of ballyhoo and cant, you v|ill be cynical and disillusioned. ’ ’
