GERALDINE

SALVATION ARMY ANNIVERSARY MEETINGS The forty-fifth anniversary of the commencement of the work of the Salvation Army at Geraldine was brought to a fitting conclusion by an anniversary tea, which was followed by a successful entertainment at the Town Hall on Tuesday evening. The celebrations were commenced on Sunday, when special meetings were held at 11 a.m., 3 p.m., and 7 p.m. The meetings were led by Major and Mrs A. J. Suter, of Christchurch, Mrs Inglis (Dunedin), who was the first person to receive a commission as a Salvation Army officer in New Zealand, taking part. Numerous messages of congratulation on the attainment of the forty-fifth anniversary were read from former officers at Geraldine. On Monday evening, Captain T. R. Moore, who is in charge of the local Corps, conducted a special meeting for soldiers and ex-soldlers of the Corps. About 100 took part at the anniversary tea, held in the Salvation Army Hail on Tuesday evening. The birthday cake was decorated with 45 yellow, red, and blue pennants, and was surmounted by a miniature Salvation Army flag. The cost of the cake was defrayed by donations from former Geraldine officers. Sergeant-Major W. Rae inserted the knife in the cafe, Mrs Inglis (Dunedin) cutting the first slice. The tea was provided by Salvation Army friends, members of the Salvation Army Home League acting as waitresses. After the tea an adjournment was made to the Town Hall, where there was a large attendance. The Ashburton and Timaru Salvation Army Silver Bands contributed greatly to the success of the entertainment. Captain V. J. Dick (Timaru) presided, Captain N. Bicknall (Ashburton) also being present. Captain T. R. Moore, who took the opportunity to thank the visiting bandsmen for their assistance in the programme, expressed his appreciation of the presense of such a large audience.

“It goes without saying,” remarked a Dunedin smoke-merchant to a customer, that some have been rolling their own cigarettes for ages. But now, as the old song runs, “everybody’s doing it,” and It has become a perfect craze. Well, one newly rolled cigarette is worth a whole packet of ‘ready-to-smokes.’ Some packets, bless you, may have been in stock for years, and there’s no flavour left in ’em. Besides it’s cheaper to roll your own. You try it! Cigarette tobaccos?—they’re as plenty as postage stamps; but give me the toasted New Zealand. Your confirmed cigarette smoker often complains of throat-irritation and smokers’ cough. Why? Because there's too much nicotine in his tobacco. Well, there’s hardly any in toasted. It makes splendid cigarettes, and is suitable for the pipe too, what’s more you can smoke toasted in cigarette or pipe and it can’t hurt you, however much of it you smoke. There are five brands: Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead) and Desert Gold. The customer now “rolls his own.”
