The enthusiastic enjoyment which was plainly evident at the dance of the Basketball Club, held in the Parish Hall on Tuesday evening, was ample proof that the function was equally successful to any of its predecessors. The hall had been tastefully decorated, by Mesdames Elder and V. O’Connor and Miss Elder, and the many multicoloured streamers, together with the greenery, made a striking contrast with the many pretty frocks, and presented a bright and animated appearance.

Music was supplied by the Click Clack Orchestra (Timaru), and extras were played by Misses G. Anderson and H. Watson, and Mr B. Yandall (Timaru). The Monte Carlo waltz was won by Miss R. Woodham and Mr Ray. Arnold, and the lucky spot by Miss M. Washington and Mr G. Horwell. Messrs H. Shaw and W. Seeler capably carried out the duties of Masters of Ceremonies, and a delicious supper was much enjoyed.

ANGLICAN SERVICE. A special service to mark the commemoration of Anzac Day was held in St. Peter’s Church yesterday, the building being well filled with a reverential congregation. The Rev. G. N. Watson officiated, and taking for his text, Romans, 8-35, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ,” the preacher made appropriate reference to the signiflcence of the anniversary. The hymns, “Let Saints on Earth in ' Concert Sing,” “Fight the Good Fight,” “O Lord, Before the World Began,” and “They Whose Course on Earth is O’er,” were sung, and a very impressive service concluded with the singing of the National Anthem. The big laurel wreath on the Memorial on the south wall of the church made a touching expression of the affectionate remembrance, in which many who fell are held by the parishioners of the Temuka and Winchester parish.

FARMERS’ APATHY. At the annual meting of the Farmers’ Union the secretary (Mr .B. Hughes) speaking in reply to a vote of thanks for the way he carried out his duties during the year, said that there was no problem more difficult to solve that the farmers’ disinclination to act in unison. The trades unionist paid something like 25 per annum to have his interests protected. A member of the Farmers’ Union paid 20s as his membership fee, while the interests he had at stake were incomparably larger than the trades unionist’s; and the Farmers’ Union coulci only be a live organisation if its members were alert and active.

DRUIDS’ DANCE. Despite the heavy counter attractions. devotees of the Dance Hall flocked in large crowds to the dance given in the brilliantly lighted Catholic Club Rooms on Wednesday evening by the Ladies Auxiliary Committee of the Temuka Druids’ Lodge, and not for some considerable period has there been so gay and so spontaneously happy a function in Temuka. Music of the brightest order was provided by the “Click Clack” Orchestra of Timaru, several of the company playing for additional dances. By happy thought, a number of novelty dances were included in the programme and these without the slightest doubt enhanced the pleasure of the evening. The winners of the lucky spot waltz were Miss Jean Gibson and Mr S. Collins; the balloon dance, Miss Ethel Newman and Mr Des. Horgan; the Monte Carlo Waltz, Miss Dora Webb and Mr Ron Helem (Geraldine); the Cigarette Dance, Miss Myers (Timaru) and Mr W. Young. The ladies’ auxiliary of the Druids Lodge is comprised of Mesdames Bert. Smith, M. Swamp, R. Jameison, W. Frisby, and Miss Eva Higinbottom, and to this committee must be attributed the greatest credit on the success of the dance. During the evening a most attractive supper was dispensed. Mr Jas. Farrell and Mr Geo. Pierce were capable Masters of Ceremonies. COUNCIL VACANCIES. In connection with the by-election to fill the two vacancies on the Borough Council, a deputation w r aitea on two residents of the town yesterday with the result that the returning officer (Mr E. Butt) rceeived the following: nominations:—E. B. Cooper, senr., (nominated by Messrs T. E. Gunnion and A. E. Smith) and E. Chapman (nominated by Messrs E. B. Cooper, senr. and G. H. Clements).

The Winchester Library building which has served a very useful purpose for over half a century has become totally inadequate to meet the present day requirements, with the result that the Committee has been compelled to erect a new building. A small grant has been obtained from the Hobson Trust fund and with the purpose of adding to this, the Library Committee has organised a gymkhana which will be held in the Winchester Domain on Thursday. The sports programme comprises events of every description, running, cycling, horse events, motor cycle races, tug-of-wars, baby show, baking competition. In the evening a grand ball will be held in the Victoria Hall. PERSONAL. Mr and Mrs M. Gudex, Allnutt Street, left Temuka yesterday to visit their son, at Hamilton. Mr and Mrs J.

Aside from its appeal in the manly art of self defence, it has an appealing romance and presents some new sidelights on the much discussed younger generation. Cody is seen as prize-fighter promoter and Miss Pringle as a sophisticated woman of the world, who gives him some uneasy moments before she makes up her mind where to centre her affection. In the supporting cast are Sue Carol, Hernie Conklin, blackface comic J. J. Jeffries, former world’s champion. Exceptionally fine supporting pictures, including a good Max Davidson comedy will be screened. Seats may be reserved at McMillan’s. CATHOLIC MISSION, The introduction of Father McCarthy’s sermon on “Modern Social Evils” at the Catholic Miccion, Temuka, last evening consisted of a discourse on the sin of scandal. A murderer was universally regarded with horror and justly so, but the scandal giver was a murderer, not of the body but of a thing immeasurably more precious—the soul. An accurate observer of human nature had said, “the evil that men do lives after them, the good is oft interred with their bones.” The custom of “treating” was fruquently the cause of another’s sin. Most sins allowed of the possibility of a death moment repentant, but the besotted mind of the drunkard was incapable of turning to God when danger threatened. Father Kane will preach to-niorrow evening on “The Love of the Sacred Heart.”
