The school bell was rung by Mrs J. Moore, of Ashburton, who was one of the early pupils. The speaker expressed complete satisfaction with the arrangements that had been made. He said that the jubilee had been a stirring time for ex-pupils who had not been back to Temuka for years, and he would long remember the pleasant few days spent In the surroundings of his boyhood's days.

The club had to be thankful for the services of a very j fine ground supervisor in Dr. A. S. Mcj Innes. and for the care and attention | that had been given by the caretaker | (Mr A. E. Uden). Mr A. Meek had j also helped the club in many ways, and the ladles were deserving of thanks for their kindness in serving afternoon j On behalf of the South Canterbury

To the Temuka Domain Board's monthly meeting on Wednesday evening, the Temuka Library Committee wrote inviting the Board to send representatives. together with delegates of the organised unemployed to a conference with the object of organising a queen carnival. Considerable discussion resulted, and it was decided to reply stating that the Board disagreed with the idea of holding a queen carnival.

Under the control of the Social Display Week Committee of the Temuka Progress League, a full programme of community singing, supported by musical items by Timaru and local artists, will be staged in the theatre this evening. Nothing has been left that could be arranged for the comfort and benefit of patrons and so It Is expected that the calls on reserves at McMillan’s to-day will be heavy. Mr R. A. Malcolm, who leads sings in Christchurch and other places, and who is wellknown to Temuka people, will be In charge.
