Strong committees have been formed .at Pukearuhe, Urenui .nd Okoke and public subscription lists have been opened at Dunbar’s store,the Urenui Hotel, and Rogers and Sons’ store. Free carriage of parcels from all parts, of the district has been offered by carriers and bus proprietors, and goods will be received at the depot at Urenui (Dunbar’s Stores, Ltd.). A meeting of the Urenui Returned Soldiers’ Association was held recently and it was decided to donate £5 5s to the relief funds. Further efforts are to be made, and it was decided to hold a monster dance in the Urenui Hall. Buses from all roads have offered free services to the hall. Supper and orchestral music will be donated. A substantial sum the funds' should result. - i The Urenui Seaside Society’s fortnightly dance held in the hall on Saturday night was patronised by residents from all parts of the district.
