From Our Own Correspondent

At the next meeting of the *Apitl Women’s Institute a demonstration is to be givfin on tho uses of a Singer sewing machine. Competitions are (a) the best bloom in my garden; (p) boiled ginger cake from the W.I. recipe book (page 119); (c) best piece of Italian quilting. Hostesses will be Mesdames J. It. Stewart, W. J. Viles, Geo. Watkins, J. Cawood. St. Luke's Church. The men of St. Luke’s Anglican Church held a working bee last week to tidy tho church grounds. The vicar, Rev. Mr. Barnes of Kimboiton, presided over the annual meeting of the Apiti parishioners when the past year was reviewed. The Church finances are most satisfactory. Officers elected for the ensuing year are as follows: Secretary, Mr. W. J. Viles; treasurer, Mr 3. M. E. A. Martin; committee, Mesdames W. J. Viles, F. Munro, A. E. Prujean, Messrs. A. E. Payton, S. H. White, C. M. Stanley and R. C. J. Martin. For some years past the Apiti li.S.A. and Defence Rifle Club have celebrated the King’s birthday with a shooting match followed by a social evening. This year owing to counter-attractions of the Palmerston North Show and the Wanganui races, it seems likely that a later date will have to be chosen for the match. Junior Football. The Apiti and Rangiwahia junior teams met at the Apiti Domain on Saturday last,-the visiting footballers proving too strong for the home team w no were defeated 3 —22, although the game was not as one-sided as the snores would indicate. Mr. H. Wildbore wa3 the referee. The seniors were also defeated at Rangiwahia. The primary school match on Saturday morning was more of a practice game than a match as the Rangiwahia team fielded only nine players, the rest of the team being composed of Apiti boys.
