MEMORANDA

The painting season is here, and your house is almost sure to he in need of a new coat after winter ravages. Ring Vincent’s, Phone. 67, for a reasonable quote, and have the assurance that the appearance of vour house will be improved 100 per cent, and preserved for another period with the best of paint. The Rev. Geo. Frost preaches at Wesley Church to-morrow, both morning and evening. The subject of the morning’s address will be “God, the Pathfinder,” and that of the evening “Calvary and Gisborne.” At the evening service anthems and special , music will be rendered by the choir. Intending subscribing members of the Gisborne Amateur Operatic Society are notified by advertisement in this issuo that the list of subscribing members will definitely close on Monday, October 14. The ballot for seats will be held at the Opera House 011 Tuesday, October 15, at 9 a.m. Subscribing members not only secure a reduction in the juice of the seats they take—s seats (minimum) for £1 ss, extra seats 5s each—but also have priority at the ballot. Intending subscribing members should enrol without delay either with Messrs. Chrisp, Ltd., or Mr. Charles Adair. There can be no doubt that the next few years will see even greater advances in the progress of civil aviation than has been witnessed during the past decade. Already in America and Europe the aeroplane has become a feature of everyday life; it plays a recognised part in commercial activities and the “air sense” of the ordinary jierson has been developed to a large extent. New Zealanders so far have had but few opportunities of cultivating the “air habit,” but if the objects of the Areo Club art union are realised a great step forward will have been made. The Government lifted the ban that has existed against art unions to enable the club to raise funds to provide more machines, and to purchase and equip an aerodrome. More than 100 valuable prizes are offered.*
