INTERESTING LECTURE. On Thursday evening last at the Y.M.C.A. Hall. Waitaki Hydro, Mr W. T. Alley, of Canterbury College, delivered an address on the “ Italian-Abyssinian ConI flict.” Mr J. Atkins introduced the I speaker, who then proceeded to deal with ; his subject from an angle that provided food for fresh thought on this muchdiscusssed topic. He commenced by showI ing the state of world affairs before the ■ Golden Age, the activity and development i during the nineteenth century with its i Freetrade, and the change of attitude by the different countries to their dominions until the present time, illustrating the motives which had decided the Italians to annex Abyssinia. At the conclusion oi the address, Messrs A. Blake, R. Jeffs, j and J. Atkins made appreciative com- ( ments, and a hearty vote of thanks was I carried unanimously, i DEBATING CLUB. ' The first meeting of the season took ' the form of a burlesque wedding break- ■ fast. Much preparation had been de- | voted to the event, which was carried out with considerable success. The vanI ous actors entered with gusto into the i spirit of the occasion. CHILDREN’S HEALTH CAMPS. Representatives from the School Committee, R.S.A., golf, football, and lawn tnnis clubs attended the meeting coni veiled by Mr Christianson to consider | means of helping with the health camp I campaign. Mr Christianson outlined the object of the movement, which is to send | feeble and under-nourished children for a holiday under ideal conditions in one of ! the health camps. He explained that | funds were being raised by the sale of health stamps and by the activities of local organisations, and suggested the for- ! mation of a body in Kurow to raise funds to help the cause. The meeting expressed sympathy with the movement, and Mr D. E. Neave, J.P., was appointed chairman of the committee and Mr M. J. Hall was 1 appointed secretary. Several aspects of i the question were discussed, and it was decided to solicit the support of the public. A suggestion that, as tjiere were few, if any, children in the district eligible for treatment in the health camps, and as there were very few entertainments for the local children, a grand gala, carnival, and rodeo might be organised, | which would raise funds for the health I camps and also provide ap leasant entertainment for the local children. The delegates agreed to the suggestion., and a meeting will bo held in Kurow Hall on Friday to discuss the project.
