INDIAN HOCKEY TEAM. Temuka has a high reputation for hospitality and warm-heartedness, and this spirit was exemplified last evening, when a civic reception was tendered to the Indian Army hockey team in the presence of a very large gathering at the Post Office. The Aiayor (Air G. B. Cartwright) said it was his pleasant privilege, on behalf of the citizens of Temuka and the district, to extend to the visitors a hearty welcome. The citizens had watched with great interest the team’s tour through the Dominion. The team now had the reputation of being tho unbeatable hockey team. No doubt they had come to Temuka to heat their opponents, but tho opposing team was equally determined to try to beat them. (Smiles.) Temuka welcomed them because they were visitors from overseas and were representatives of a great Empire, and had taken a stand shoulder to shoulder with England during the Great AVar. India at that time gave Groat- Britain money and men, and if the members of the Indian hockey team were a sample of what India can produce, then her soldiers must have been very fine men indeed. He regretted exceedingly that their stay at Temuka was such a short one. as the citizens would have been glad to have shown them around the fertile and progressive district, where there were many places both attractive and beautiful. .However, he hoped they j would find everything for their eomfort, and he hoped their stay would be happy and enjoyable. His Worship called for three cheers, which were heartily given by the crowd. (Cheers.) ! Air Gordon P. Wood, president of the South Canterbury Association, on behalf of his Association, extended a hearty welcome to Captain Cowan and \ the officers and members' of the team. It was only a small part of New Zea- j land, but tho welcome was none the less hearty. When the New Zealand ! Association offered a match to South 1 Canterbury the offer was gladly accepted, not with the idea of winning, j but with the object of fostering the j game, and there was no doubt that] the appearance of such a formidable combination would give hockey a great impetus in this district. Ho hoped that the team would have a pleasant stay in Temuka. (Cheers.)

Captain J). G. Cowan, AI.C., officer ill, charge of the team, thanked those present for tho excellent welcome. He did not intend to make a long speech as they were .suffering with colds. Ho would like to stale, however, that the team had met with a magnificent reception in New Zealand, and ho hoped that when they returned in a few years’ time they would again meet the citizens of Temuka. (Cheers.)

The four British officers and two representatives of the New Zealand Association will stn.v-at the Crown Hotel, and the members of the team will be accommodated at the Volunteer Hall. This forenoon the visitors will be taken for a round of sight-seeing, and amongst tho places to bo visited aro the Insulator Works, Temuka Co-op. Dairy Company, and the Salvation Army Boys’ Homo.

CLANDEBOYE. A very pleasant evening was spent at the Clandeboye Public Hall on Friday evening, when the residents of the disti'ict met to do honour to Hiss ivy Goodman, .who is soon to be married. Games and dancing, musical and elocutionary items made up a varied programme, which gave pleasure and entertainment to all present. Each one present had brought a small gift* for the guest of the evening, and on their behalf Hr J. G. Barry asked Miss Goodman to accept these small presents. Ho trusted that she would have many years of happiness to use them. (Applause.) Hr J. Buck, responding on behalf of Hiss Goodson, said the evening had come as a great surprise. Speaking for Hiss Goodson, he thanked all for the good wishes expressed, for their very useful presents, and for the kindly thoughts which had prompted the giving of them. After "bountiful supper, provided by the ladies of the district, games and dancing were resumed, and continued until nearly midnight. “HTS PEOPLE,” TO-NIGHT. How far should a man go to further his career? Shou'd he sacrifice his own desires and ambitions for his family? These questions and more am answered in the dramatic photoplay, “His People,” a Universal-Jewel to be screened at Tcmuka to-night. It is a story of hearts and emotions, the keynote being sounded in a father’s love for an erring son. Rudolph Sehildkrati, the great character star, has tho leading role. Climax follows climax in this stirring tale. The stern father’s resentment at his younger son’s fo lowing a pugilistic career, the older sou’s disavowal of his parents, and tho graphic reproduction of life in New York's Ghetto, combine to make a picture of heart throbbing interest,. The usual < supporting pictures will.be screened. I
