INGLEWOOD.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

The street collection last Saturday by the Plunket Society was very satisfactory, £3O being added to the funds towards defraying the expenses. Many high ecomiums are expressed on the work done here, of which your correspondent hopes to be permitted to give more detail later “pom - encourages les autres.”

There’s going to be a chrysanthemum show (and other autumn blooms will be admitted) at the Inglewoo'd Parish Hall on Thursday, May 12, afternoon and evening. The proceeds are to be devoted to the orphans’ homes at Papatoetoe and Richmond Road, as well as to rescue work of St. Mary’s Homes, Auckland, so no one need grudge patronage, as all funds will go towards good for those who need help. For the Hospital Board Mr. J. Sutherland (Mayor of Inglewood) was accorded 430 votes and Mr. Morgarf (Mayor of Waitara) 321 votes.

The sale at the Farmers’ Co-op. yards, Inglewood, on Wednesday, was fairly well attended, and the tone of the market was firmer. A good yarding of young stock and moderate of other lines met the pulbic, for whom weaner heifers of promising class and quality apparently had the most attraction. Some very inferior calves sold for 2s per head, but good sound ones realised 355, /While Jersey weaner h’eifers made £3 ss, £4 10s and £5 Us; 18-months heifers (in calf, but small) sold for £3 15s; store cows made £2; a dairy cow in milk brought £7 10s; springers from £5 to £6 10s; fresh and forward empty cows up to £4 ss; wethers of mixed ages and inferior condition sold for 4s 6d; 2-tooth wethers for Ils 6d; small store lambs for 6s 3d and fats 12s 6d.

There was a gathering of seventeen for the householders’ meeting at Lincoln Road School on Monday last. Mr. C. H. Owen was voted to the chair. After the report and balance-si: ?et of accounts, presented by Mr. W. P. Brash (hon. secretary of the outgoing committee) had been read and adopted, the meeting proceeded to the election of those whose duty it will be to pilot the school’s interest for the new term till the next election in 1922, when Messrs. W. P. Brash, S. Burson, . F. C. Cowern, D. Egarr, and G. F. Mehrtens were chosen

Later, at the statutory meeting of the newly elected committee, Mr. Burson was made chairman and Mr. Brash hon secretary and treasurer.

The annual meeting of parishioners of St. Andrew’s Church, Inglewood, was held in the Parish Hall on Tuesday, 26th inst., when there was a full attendance.

The ! year’s report and balance-sheet, which iatter showed details of many branches, or, mote properly speaking, sub-districts, besides the usual intricate workings associated ' with parochial affairs, were read and adopted. Particular attention was drawn to the satisfactory state of the various accounts, and hopes, expressed that the efforts which had proved so valuable in the past .would not be released, as, though those efforts had brought the funds into a good position, there were ever growing B needs for contributions. Messrs. G. H.; Hutton and F. H. Brown were re-elected church wardens, and a vestry consisting of Messrs. Carmine. Gamlin, Glenie, Henderson, Horner and Winter were chosen for the ensuing year. In recognition of faithful service to the church in the Inglewood district, illuminated addresses were presented to the following worthy recipients, viz., Mrs. Crossman. sewing leader of the Ladies’ Guild; Miss Brown, faithful worker and superintendent of the Sunday School; Miss Hamerton, for twelve years oganist: Mr. C. 0. Roberts. 26 years laV reader and chorister, and 8 years choirmaster: Mr- A. A. WartJ, manv rears lav reader and caretaker of St. Philip’s, Taiki; and Mr. W. Messenger for his long service as hon. secretarv and treasurer.

’ A special vote of thanks was also passed to Mr. F. Lloyd, who had shown during his short residence in Inglewood such enthusiasm as a lay reader and superintendent of Sunday School. The illuminated addresses were the work of Mr. O. Jones, of Tariki, each is a positive work of art and worthy of wide recognition, but far beyond the descriptive power of an/. ordinary bush scribe '
