THE OAMARU DISTRICT

NORTH OTAGO AND PROVINCIAL SECTION

NEWS OF THE DAY

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT)

HISTORICAL SURVEY BOOK TO BE PUBLISHED FINANCIAL LOSS INDICATED A FITTING CENTENNIAL MEMORIAL There was a good attendance of representatives of the various Oamaru organisations at a meeting of the Oamaru Centennial Committee held on Tuesday night. The Mayor (Mr L. J. K. Familton) occupied the chair. The Mayor welcomed the following new members of the committee: — Messrs D. S. Smith and C. J. L. Mollison (Oamaru Returned Soldiers’ Association), A. Bloch (Oamaru Toe H), and J. Cooney and W. Dickson (lodges). The difficulties of publishing an historical survey of North Otago for the centennial were discussed very fully, Mr J. H. Main, who reported on behalf of the sub-committee appointed, stressing the cost of publishing the book and its value to Oamaru. The book would be as good a memorial as any building, Mr Main said. The cost would be 6s each, but it had been suggested that a limited number of copies, autographed by early settlers and prominent mertnbers of the committee, could be sold at an increased price. The book would be of almost 300 pages. Mr Familton said the committee was fortunate in having Mr K. C. McDonald’s services in writing the historical survey. The book would be published at a loss, perhaps as much as £l5O, v but it was hoped to obtain a subsidy. , A , Finally, the report was adopted, and the Finance Committee was authorised to make arrangements for the publication of the* book, to be available early next year. It was hoped that portion of the loss incurred would be met by voluntary contributions by residents. Mr A. Bloch was appointed sales organiser, and was also elected a member of the special sub-committee.

Queen Carnival Abandoned

lit accordance with notice of motion given by Mr G. L, Grenfell, it was decided to rescind the committee’s previous resolution to hold a queen carnival.

There was a brief discussion on the previous arrangement made with the Oamaru Plunket Society, whereby the society had been promised a grant of £3OO from the queen carnival. The Mayor stated that the committee was morally bound to make this grant to the society, even though the queen carnival proposal had been abandoned. The committee agreed to keep to the term? of the arrangement, and make a grant of £3OO to the society from the funds raised.

Zoning System

It was agreed to appoint an organiser to zone the country districts, and appoint sub-committees in each district for the purpose of raising funds by voluntary subscription. It was also decided to call a meeting of the town members for the purpose of dividing the town into zones. Mr R. B. Meek was appointed organiser of the country districts, the terms of his appointment ' being left to the Finance Committee. General

Two contributions to the Centennial fund, one of £25 from Miss Jessie Banks and her sister, and the other of £ 15 from the Hampden Borough Council. were received with thanks.

A list of approved celebration dates was forwarded by the Otago Provincial Centennial Council, with a request that the local committee should reach finality in this matter by the end of July.—Received.

INTERSCHOOL RUGBY WAITAKI BEATS ST. KEVIN’S FAST AND OPEN GAME WAITAKI BACKS SUPERIOR The annual interschool Rugby fixture played between the first > fifteens of Waitaki Boys’ High School and St. Kevin’s College at Milner Park yesterday afternoon, provided an exhibition of Rugby at its best. Open, spectacular play with fast scoring made the game an excellent one, the Waitaki team coming out on top by 25 points to 15. Two fast sets of backs and two heavy, hard-working packs were seen in action, and the play ranged from end to end of the field throughout most of the match. Waitaki owed its win mainly to the superiority of its backs, especially Woodhouse. Robertson. Dovev and Fallon, who frequently raced right through the St. Kevin’s backs to score. The St. Kevin’s rearguard also staged some clever movements, Neyion, Green and O’Kane being outstanding. The forward packs were both good sets, and played hard, rugged games. Miller, Reid and Patterson were the pick of the Waitaki packmen, and Easton. Fallon and Murray led the St. Kevin’s eight. The Play

O'Kane made the first attack on the Waitaki line, but Fallon raced down the side-line to relieve the position. McLean, the St. Kevin’s winger, went through but attempted to pass when he should have gone on his own. Mclntyre missed a pass from Dovey to lose an opportunity, and a long touch-finder had t_he Blacks defending. Neyion broke away, to be tackled at the line, but Hally followed up fast to touch down. He failed to convert his try. St. Kevin’s 3. Waitaki nil. Securing from a set scrum, Robertson cut clean through the Blue defence and kicked over Kearney’s head to follow up fast and score. Mclntyre converted. Waitaki 5, St. Kevin's 3. A high kick by Robertson had St. Kevin’s defending again, and Woodhouse slipped through from a set scrum near the line Mclntyre goaied from a difficult angle, and almost immediately after found the posts again with a penalty kick. Waitaki 13, St. Kevin’s 3. The Waitaki backs made several good attacks on St. Kevin’s line, and frequently came very near to scoring. A line kick sent them back, and the ball went out the line of Blue backs to O’Kane, who made infield and returned the ball for Green to beat Sutherland and Mclntyre and score a good try. Hally missed with the kick to mak«» the half time score: Waitaki 13 points. St. Kevin’s .. ~ 6 points.

The second spell started at a fast pace when Dovey put the Blacks on attack, and Green retaliated with a good run to Waitaki’s twenty-five, where Hally took an opportunity to goal from a penalty. Waitaki 13, St, Kevin’s 9. Quick service from the base of the scrum gave the ball to Dovey, who beat several opponents to score a brilliant try. Mclntyre failed to convert. Waitaki 16, St. Kevin’s 9. Hally brought the score to 16—12 with a penalty goal. Dovey, Fallon, and Woodhouse all nearly added to Waitaki’s score, but Green broke away to relieve, and the St. Kevin’s backs turned on a spectacular movement, the ball passing through many hands to be taken to Waitaki’s line. Easton put over a good penalty kick. Waitaki 16’, st. Kevin's 15. O’Kane brought the Blues within striking distance again with a good run, but Woodhouse evaded a tackle and kicked infield, and Dovey almost scored through fast following up. Patrick charged down a kick and raced over to score. Mclntyre missed with a good attempt at goaling from well out. Waitaki 19, St. Kevin’s 15. Immediately after this try Mclntyre followed up fast to catch an opponent in possession, and Robertson touched down. Waitaki 22, St. Kevin’s 15. Towards the end the Waitaki fifteen pressed hard on the St. Kevin’s line, and good attempts at scoring were made by Dovey and Fallon. Robertson eventually crossed from a ruck near the line. Woodhouse missed with the kick, making the Anal score: Waitaki ; .. .. 25 points. St. Kevin’s .. .. 15 point*. Mr J. Kinder was the referee.

The standard of forward play shown in the second of the annual Town v. Country matches at Duntroon last Saturday was the feature of the match, and judged from the form displayed there, North Otago should this season field one of its best sets of forwards for many years. The Country packmen, particularly, proved a hardworking and bustling lot, and to them must go most of the credit for their side’s second victory over Town this season, this time by 22 points to 14. They put more dash into their play than did the Town eight, and appeared to be much more fit. Their superiority was most noticeable in the line-outs and loose! play, where, usually led by Strachan, J. Hedley, and Geddes, they broke through time and again to give the Town backs little opportunity to show their worth. The Town pack, however, had the best of it in the set scrums, and frequently chose these instead of line-outs, but its advantage here was minimised by the fact that the ball was being held up in the hack of the scrum, and the Country breakaway forwards, Gard and Geddes, were given plenty of time to get out amongst the Town backs and spoil their opportunities. The fact that Ede received an injury to his shoulder early in the game slowed up the delivery to the line still further, and later in the match he had to leave the field, McLaren going in to half-back and Greaves coming on as first fiveeighth. ' After their excellent display at Waimate, more was expected of the Town backs, but the bustling tactics of the opposing packmen had them rattled before very long,, so that their passing and handling were unreliable. Ede gave a plucky display, but his injury handicapped him to a large extent. Gillies and McLaren, however, were disappointing, although their lapse from form was ,argely due to the Red forwards’ spoiling tactics. Kilgour was again the best attacking back in the line, and he certainly seemed to have mastered the art of catching an opposing back on the wrong foot. He made some good openings on Saturday, and was responsible for the second try. The ball seldom went out as far as the Town wingers, who, as a consequence, did not receive many opportunities. Johnston and Low were the best two Town forwards. The Country back line gave a better display than they did in the first of the Town v. Country matches, and made some good openings. McCabe and McLean, the two wingers, were the pick of the bunch, and both have justified their inclusion in the 20 players—of which no fewer than 12 belong to the sub-union —to practise for the representative side. They are both fast and determined runners and should go well with Kilgour, the obvious choice for centre three-quarter Aubrey also played well in the Country line, and Kinder, at full-back, was another who impressed. Hi? play generally was of. a better standard than that of S. Easton’s (Town). Waitaki Sub-union Draw for Saturday The draw for next Saturday is as follows: —Duntroon v. Omarama, at Omarama; Otakaike v. Tokarahi, at Tokarahi; Georgetown v. Windsor, at Georgetown; Pirates, a bye. Championship Points

POCHIN’S BEQUEST Archdeacon Russell has received advice from the Trustees and Executors’. Company of the legacy of £SOO for the St. Luke’s Church, Oamaru, in the estate of Mr Francis W. Pochin. This has come at a time when the parish has contributed £lB4 for foreign missions—the largest annual sum in its history—and seems to be a reward for its self-sacrifice. It will enable the vestry to make much-needed repairs and renovations to the church buildings and accessories. Mr Pochin was a loyal member of St. Luke’s Parish, and attended Its services until physically incapacitated. KINEMA ENTERTAINMENTS MAJESTIC THEATRE

Much more than amazing ability as a skater is displayed by Sonja Henie in her latest picture. “ My Lucky Star,” which is to be shown to-night. Her radiant personality and convincing acting carry her triumphantly through a production that gives her even greater opportunities than those in which she rose to stardom. The story suits her perfectly, and the sincerity of her work, coupled with her natural charm, make the picture one well worth seeing. This time she is cast, not as a peasant girl who gains world fanje on the ice. but as an American girl of Scandinavian parentage working in a big department store on Fifth avenue. Unusual circumstances send her to a celebrated university under instructions to wear as many of the firm’s magnificent winter clothes on as many occasions as possible. The results both from the viewpoint of the firm and of the audience are most attractive, and at the great ice carnivals Sonja takes all honours. There are complications, however, before the happy ending, and the romantic aspect is well developed. Richard Greene and Cesar Romero have the principal masculine roles. On the spectacular side the “Alice in Wonderland ” ballet on the ice is magnificent. The supports are of topical interest. The box plans are at the Bristola. " Stablemates ” A stirring story between a stableboy and a once-famous veterinary surgeon who spends his time at race tracks is told in “ Stablemates.” which heads the current programme on Saturday. The story captures the authentic spirit of the turf and introduces Wallace Beery and Mickey Rooney in a screen combination whicn is strongly reminiscent of the BeeryJackie Cooper team in “The Champ - ’ a few years ago. Rooney has firmly established himself as an actor by his performances in the “ Judge Hardv films, and in “ Stablemates ” he finds further opportunities to display the talents which have won him worldwide recognition. Beery, of course, Is particularly effective in a type of role to which he is no stranger. There is a good supporting programme. The box plans are at the Bristola. OPERA HOUSE A story which finds a notorious gambler and outlaw making travel by stage coach unsafe in the frontier West and daring to murder and rob a man from whom he has just purchased cattle is told in Paramount’s latest Hopalong Cassidy action romance, “Sunset Trail,” which is now heading the programme at the Opera House. William Boyd, favourite outdoor player, again enacts “ Hoppy,” the man who sets out to “ get ” the gambler and make the trail safe for travel. Seen with him again in this picture are George Hayes and Russel Hayden as his pals, known as “ Windy ” Halliday and “Lucky” Jenkins. The story is based on characters created by CJarcnce E. Mulford. A startling new crime drama, “Disbarred.” is also screening. With Otto Kruger cast as the brilliant, but cynical and unscrupulous, “mouthpiece” of the underworld, “ Disbarred ’’ presents a series of thrilling and vivid incidents. Others in leading roles are Gail Patrick as a modern Portia who unwittingly becomes a * mouthpiece ” herself, and Robert Preston as a crusading young district attorney. The box plans are at the theatre and the Bristola.

ITEMS OF INTEREST IN AND ABOUT TOWN Civil Claims Judgment by default was given for the plaintiffs in the following civil claims, heard before Mr H. W. Bundle, S.M., at the Oamaru Magistrate’s Court yesterday morning:—J. Bulleid and Co.. Ltd., v. L. Waterreus. 14s 5d and costs (8s); J. Bulleid and Co., Ltd., v.

James Linwood, £l4 16s 6d and costs (£2 16s), In the judgment summons case. Para Rubber Company v. L. A. Waterreus. an order was made for the payment of the debt £5 13s 6d and costs (10s) forthwith, in default six days’ imprisonment, the order not to issue provided the judgment debtor paid 5s a week. The judgment debtor did not appear, and the magistrate commented that on his own statement as a witness in a recent case he was earning between £5 and £lO a week as a fisherman. He should therefore have no difficulty in paying the amount. Opera House Renovations Mr Stowe (architect) came to Oamaru from Wellington on Tuesday to discuss plans for the proposed enlargement and renovation of the Opera House.- He was met by Mr I. Steenson (borough architect) and borough councillors, and the question of providing for increased seating accommodation was fully investigated.
