It is proposed that the loan be secured by a special rate of 3d in the £1 on the unimproved value of all rateable property within the Borough. COLOURFUL SPECTACLE CHILDREN’S FANCY DRESS The Olympia Hall presented a scene of colour and gaiety on Thursday night when the children of the Primary School presented their fancy dress carnival. There was an attendance of about 300 children, while the seating accommodation was taxed by the presence of hundreds of parents and friends of the school. The children entered whole-hearted-ly into the enjoyment of the evening and the marching, deportment and dancing of each group of pupils as they look the floor evidenced the careful training they had received. The display of the senior classes particularly showed the value of eurythmic training, which was apparent in the deportment of the pupils and in the lightness of their footwork. The headmaster (Mr J. L. Menzies) thanked all who had assisted in making the function a success, and expressed appreciation of the co-operation they had received from the parents. He made special mention of the work of the judges, Mrs A. G.
