THE KARITANE PROGRAMME

JOB CONTROL IN PRACTICE

ENTERTAINMENtS TO COME SPLENDID LOCAL EFFORTS. A proposal that the boys’ work committee of the Rotary- Club should do something in the cause of the Wellington Karitaue appeal proved to be a nappy inspiration. It was brought before the noticewof the Boys’, Institute, and the officers and mon of that organisation jumped at the chance tphelp the still younger generation. Tim Town Hall is now booked for Saturday, August Ist. for an entertainment which will be provided wholly,by the boys. It will be a most varied enter-, tainment of displaying the versatility of boys in the 1 group. The items will include singing, recitations, physical drill, pyramid-building, tumbling, balancing, muscle control, items by the institute banc(, and others* The programme will give those who attend an excellent idea of the way boys like to amuse themselves—-if there are any who are not aware of it already. On the following August Bth, the Town Hall will again be occupied in the interests of the fund, with a production of the contort version of the’light opera, “Memo England,” by the popular English, composer, Edward German. The music will be performed by the Terrace Congregational Choir, with the assistance ot four soloists and two pianists. The ehoir will be conducted by Mv ten. Barnes, who is also in dharge of the production. On Wednesday, September 2Srd, the 1926 movie ball will be held in the Town Hall, and the 'promoters, following the practioe of using the event to assist some worthy movement, have decided to give the proceeds to the Karitane fund. In view of the success ©f this event last year and the efforts that are being made to Have the coming one even more successful, the ball should be not only extremely enjoyable for those who attend it, but a notable help to the Karitane funds.

FIREMEN HOLD UP FLEET GUESTS MR WALSH JUBILANT 1 By Telegraph.— Press Assn.— Copyright. MELBOURNE, July 24. When the firemen wete t assured . that Mr Stanley Bruce, the Prime Minister, was not on board the Weerooma, which was about to sail for the Heads to meet the American fleet, they demanded a guarantee of £IOO that the statement was correct, and on one of the guests guaranteeing t]sat amount, the men demanded £4OO, which was refused. The majority of the guests left the vessel. The firemen concerned were promptly dismissed by the owners. ■ ■ The action is regarded as part of a pre-cpnsidered plan, as the men delayed their action till it was time for the steamer to leave. • ■ Referring to the position later, Mr Bruce, who spent the day at his office, said it was the moßt incredibly foolish and stupid thing he had ever heard’of men doing. They had certainly provided the public with a practical example of the working of ‘‘job control” in a 'manner which would bring home the realisation of it to everybody. Mr Tom Walsh, the seamen’s secretary, said it was a matter of great satisfaction to him that seamen of Australia were courageous enough to protest aginst the vindictive insult levelled at the seamen by the Prime Minister.

Mrs Coates, wifo of the Prime Minister of New Zealand, was among the guests aboard the' ship who were robbed of the trip.
