FROM OFR OWN COKKE&PON3M2NI > April 22. The annual householders’ meeting, field at the Liglewoou School last week, was very poorly attended, there being only 12 present. Tfie following were elected a committee for the ensuing year: D. Allen, G. Burrows, R. Fawcett, P. Glenio, K. King, H. Mamby, N. Peters, J. Sutherland and J. W. Winfield. At the statutory first meeting held immediately afterwards, Mr. Winfield was elected chairman and Mr. Sutherland secretary. Mr. D. Allen has served on the Inglewood School Committee for 21 j'ears. Last week the fire bell rang out its alarm about 6 p.m. A lire had broken out in the hacK part of .Messrs. Gamlin and Dean’s shop. It wa.- fortunate that it occurred so cariy in vne evening. as there is only a righl-01-way about four feet wide between the place where tiro flames appeared and the public library. The firemen wore quickly on the scene, and the fire was put out very little damage being done. The annual meeting oi St. Andrew s Ladies’ Sewing Guild was liclu last Wednesday in the Parish Hall, there being n good number present. Pile icport as read bv the secretary, Mrs. Homer, shows what a very successful year was just ended. The sale of work yielded over £77, and over £2O had been received for sewing done by the guild.' The receipts for the year wore over £l3l. They had paid £6O towards the vicarage funo, and several small donations to the general fund, and also provided new trenchers for some of the choir f hey had a credit-balance of over £37. During the year the guild bad also raised £3< for the Church Army Hut Fund by means of a mart. Deep regret was felt that they would be losing their president, Mrs. Harvie, and hopes were expressed that she would have a bnglu and prosperous future in her new home in Australia. There were very large congregations at all three Easter services in St. Andrew’s Church on Sunday. Tiio Vcu Archdeacon Evans was the preacher at the evening service. Before commencing his sermon, the archdeacon referred to the near departure of the vicai. He expressed his appreciation of the good work done in the parish by Hr. Harvie, and hoped that the parishioners would live up to the high ideals inculcated by the vicar, and so lot his good work live after he had gone from among them. He expressed very deep regret at losing Mr. Harvie and family, and wished him and Mrs- Harvie all happiness and prosperity in their new home. Next Sunday the Rev, A, Crossninn, son of Mr. S. Crossman of this, town, will be the preacher at the morning service. In the evening Mr. Harvie will preach his farewell sermon’. Three rinks of Inglewood bowlers journeyed to AVaitara on Easter Monday and played an all day match when they defeated the homo team. They were very hospitably entertained and had a most enjoyable time. On Wednesday night the Inglewood branch of the Plunket Societv held its annual meeting. The folowing new members wore elected: Mesdames Horner, Henderson, and Partridge. Mrs. T. Drake was elected president, Mrs. Parli vice-president and Mrs. JSutherland secretary.

Mr. Humphrey and his assistant scont-mnsters are to be congratulated on the results of the competitions hold at Kawaron Park yesterday. Inglewood Scouts brought back 12 of the 14 medals competed for, and also the silver cup for the best ambulance team. A\jth the exception of tbo senior signalling Inglewood Scouts “scooped the pool.' Friday next is Anzae Day. 1 have not heard of any public arrangements being made here to celebrate it in a fitting manner. Probably it will bo like many other things in Inglewood arranged hurriedly at the last minute. There will bo a short memorial service in St. Andrew’s Anglican Church at 7.30 p.m. Surely what we owe to our brave boys who have “gone west” cannot ho forgotten.
