Tennis Affairs. , On Saturday afternoon an excellent number of tennis club members came to the courts to prepare for the opening of tho tennis season. Timo was put in on the netting, volley-board and umpire stands, while tli© courts have been nicely marked out. Work over, a section of tho working bee got themselves into trim for tho season in a game on tho courts. Ping Pong. Tho ping pong club will conclude a successful season on Tuesday evening when it will hold a tourney. There win be prizes and a jolly evening is anticipated. General and Personal. Tho school children held an egg day recently, when tho excellent total of 31 dozen tggs was brought for tho Willard Home. This is an average of 3- doz. per child. Mr E. Johansen has had to enter hospital where he had an operation for appendicitis. Tho passing of another Wliakarongo resident, Mrs Norman Kersal, came as a great shock and her bright personality will be missed, especially in tho Women’s Institute. Tho sympathy of the. district goes out to her husband. The W.I. members showed their sympathy with a floral tribute.

It is to be hoped that there will be a largo attendance at tho benefit social and ounce, for funds for the Kelvin Grove hall, to be held on Friday. The committeo has a very good programme to offer, and the dance portion will bo as good,as W.I. functions usually are. Further details will bo advertised. Mr Wilson’s visitor. Mr Fitzherbert ,lias departed from tho district.
