TWICE BEFORE COURT IN ONE DAY MAN’S UNUSUAL EXPERIENCE Arrested firstly for alleged inadequate payment of maintenance, a labourer named Reginald Cooper, had the experience of twice appearing before the Magistrate’s Court, at Temuka on Monday. On his first appearance in Court he was remanded on bail to appear at a later date, but subsequently it was suspected that he intended absconding from bail and he was rearrested. When he reappeared in Court a remand in custody to Invercargill was granted bj r Mr A. E. Smith J.P. SWIMMING BATHS PROVE POPULAR That increased interest had been taken in swimming in the Temuka district and that the Domain baths had been more popular than ever, was stated by the caretaker of the baths (Mr H. Phillipsi and the secretary of the Temuka Swimming Club (Mr H. C. Cornwell) in an interview yesterday on the progress of the season. In spite of the unfavourable weather the baths had been used bj r 3.827 people to date. The largest number in any week was during “Learn to Swim” week when 547 persons, mostly children. took advantage of the instruction offered by members of the club. The membership of the club had nearly approached a record, and an unusually large number of competitors had been taking part in the weekly swims. It has been decided by the club lo erect a standard high diving platform, complete with springboard.

ELITE THEATRE Ann Dvorak may not have had what it takes too be a lady in Paramount’s “She’s No Lady,” the irresponsible comedy which is the principal offering on the double feature programme showing at the Elite Theatre this evening, but she had more than enough of what it takes to win handsome John Trent. “She’s No Lady” is a merry story of a band of jewel thieves who are frustrated mainly by Cupid’s darts. The second feature is headed by that great fun maker, Edward Everett Horton who brilliantly portrays the skinflint gone mad with other peoples money to spend. Both pictures are comedy of the best. An address on “Disease in Farm / imals” will be given by A. M. Paterson at the monthly meeting of the Temuka Branch of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union which will be held in the Fire Brigade room on Friday, at 8 p.m. The Winchester Women’s Institute will hold a dance in Victoria Hall on Saturday at 8 p.m.
