ANZAC BAY AT BULLS.

Tbe noble deeds accomplished by the boys of New Zealand and Australia in the notable and never to be forgotten lauding at Gallipoli can never be too highly appreciated, nor can we ever repay in money or kind the sacrifice those men displayed in offering their lives and all for the defence of our Empire. Appreciation of their noble action cannot be expressed in words and only in some tangible and practical manner can we in small measure repay such deeds. Commemoration of the great landing will be solemnised by divine service on “Anzac Day” at Bulls on Tuesday next. Ic is needless to say that everybody who has the welfare of our boys at heart and in memory the deepest respect and sympathy for those who have given their lives, will make every effort to be present. A pi’oeession will be formed from the school grounds, where all those who are able to take part are requested to be present at 1.45 pm. The order of the procession will be as follows: —Marton Brass Band, Boy,, Scouts, School Children from the Bulls, Sanson, Carnarvon, Parewanui, Greatford, Ohakea and Makowbai, Returned Soldiers, Men on Leave, Men Enlisted, Territorials, senior Cadets, Rifle Club, Masons, 1.0.0. F., and the - public. The procession will leave the school grounds at 3 p.m. sharp for the Bulls. Town Hall, where United and Intercessory Service will be conducted by the Rev. .1. Blaekburne (Bulls) and Rev, R. P. Etali (Sanson). Everybody is invited to be present, especially .the residents of the district covered by the Bulls, Sanson, Carnarvon, Ohakea and Lower Rangitikei Patriotic Society. The: secretary has made every effort to communicate with returned soldiers, men on leave and men who have offered their services, whether accepted or otherwise, asking them to attend. Should anyone have been overlooked they are invited to attend and take part in the procession and ceremony. The public are also invited to tbe present at a social in the Town Hall at 8 p.m. to farewell those boys who are leaving for camp to undergo their preparatory training prior to leaving New Zealand to fight for King and Country. Fifteen men are being farewelied and it is hoped that the residents of Bulls and surrounding district will show their appreciation by a large attendance.
