TE WERA NEWS. The second of a series of fortnightly euchre parties andi dances in aid of the Huiakama school was held in the Te Wera hall on Friday night, when in spite of the frosty night about 50, people attended. Euchre was played until halfpast ten, when after supper supplied by the ladies the' room was cleared for dancing until after midnight. Mr. J. Garliett’s music was appreciated by all. Extras were, played by Messrs. C. Simmons and W. Elder. The prizes . for the euchre were won by Mrs. Coley and Mr. Keenan, the consolation prizes being won by Mrs. Sherlock and Mr. C. Yandle. The first of the series was held on May 23, the winners on that occasion being. Miss D. Morris and Mr. C. Simmons. In spite of the heavy frosts experienced lately there is still a fair amount of. grass, and stock is wintering fairly well. This is no doubt largely due to the . extensive top-dressing during the autumn.

GENERAL ITEMS. Rain fell steadily in Stratford throughout yesterday afternoon. With visibility thus obscured a car and a light truck came into collision in central Broadway, near the post office, biit practically no damage was done. The lorry was coming from the railway station entrance while the car was proceeding southward. The golf match for non-handicap lady members which was arranged for to-day has been postponed until Thursday.

A social and dance will be held in the parish hall, Eltham, this evening in aid of the Catholic convent funds. . There will be songs and novelty dances and good prizes. The pupils of Miss Madden and Miss Wylds have been rehearsing very diligently for- some weeks, the object being the production of an' entertainment, of a musical character to be given at the Eltham town hall on Friday. The first part of the programme, under the supervision of Miss Madden, will consist of miscellaneous musical items and dancing, while the second half will be devoted to the staging of an operetta, “St. Distaph’s Day.” This should be quite a novelty for Eltham people, as the actors are all very young folks, from tiny tots to bigger one in their teens. Mrs. J. A. Rankin has charge of the musical part of the play, while Mr. F, Silver is producer. The pupils of Miss Wylds will provide the ballet. As the proceeds will go towards the school sports funds good support should be forthcoming.

A presentation will be made to Mr. and Mrs. P. Bremer, who are leaving the district. The bachelors and spinsters of Auroa will hold a ball to-morrow evening.
