. pbom onn own coebespondent. Nov. 12.—The armistice anniversary was celebrated in glorious weather. Shops and offices observed a half-holi-day. The school children assembled at 9 a.m. and were addressed by the headmaster, Mr. J.

At 11 a.m. the } firebell rang out for the two minutes’ i silence, which was not particularly no-1 tioeahle in our quiet little town. The * postponed children’s peace sports were i held in the recreation ground in the I afternoon, when there was a Large at-1 tendance of children and adults. The I catering arrangements were sadly in- I adequate, but the sports I was a very good and popular one—good | prizes being provided from a sum col- I looted among the townspeople. r The weather to-day has been very wet [ again, not looking too hopeful for the • opening of the bowling green, which was postponed from last Thursday. Next Thursday, 20th inst., the Bishop of Auckland will be in Inglewood. There will be a garden party in the vicarage grounds in the afternoon to enable his lordship to meet parishioners and friends.
