Our Havelock correspondent writes: The Committee deputed to carry out the programme for Coronation Day met m the public library on Friday evening. All the members ■ were present .with the exception of Messrs Reader, Reid, Finlayson, and the Rev. Mr Parser. Mr Fraser submitted a lists' showing contributions to the extent of £23, which before Coronation Day would probably be made up to £25. It was decided that the sub-^Oom-mittee" (Messrs Gorrie and Fraser) who i% had charge of the fireworks display ' and bonfire should have £15"for fire-!

H. Smith it was decided that the procession should start from tKe Town Hall, and should proceed through Luck'now and Union Streets and round the oak tree *t the junction of Cook- and Union Streets and thence to the recreation ground; procession to start at 12.30, preceded by the band.

In the event of the:day turhihg.out unfavorably'it was arranged that ihe children should have the use of the hall until 5 p.m. It was left with the chairman to decide upon any matters that might : turn up requiring attention. to i'BJt Enrxoa. Sir,~lnstead of wasting wood in bonfires on the hilltops on Coronation night, it would 'be more1 sensible to give the fuel to poor people in the district; to keep their children, warm through the cold winter. ■ ■'■■

The South. Australian Railway Commissioner ;Kas revived from the statiohmaster : at' Mitcham the report of a plucky act at that station last week. As a train was pulling alongside the platform, a yciing. lady, Miss Telfer, slipped and fell from the platform on to the line, immediately in front of the incoming engine. "It was a certain case of being run over," continued the report, "but for the promptness of Dougias Tliorne, a bystander, who,lea.ping down, thrust the girl clear, and then rolled under the platform as flip engine ran by. Thome's action certainly savod Miss Telfer from being run over. It was an exceptionally plucky act, carried out with wonderful coolness and quickness.' For warding off influenza "NAZOL" acts like a charm. As soon as you feel the slightest symptom take "NAZOL" according to directions, ! and you're safe. *
