GERALDINE SERVICE JEWEL

Oddfellow for Sixty Years Honour Conferred On Mr G. H. Patrick Further interest is added to the honour conferred on Mr G. H. Patrick, who recently was presented with a jewel for 60 years’ membership in the Independent Order of Oddfellows. This jewel is probably the first to be issued in Australia or New Zealand. The Grand-Secretary of the Grand Lodge of New Zealand has forwarded to Victoria Lodge, Geraldine, an excerpt from a letter received from the GrandSecretary of the Grand Lodge of Australasia. The excerpt reads: “I regret delay in forwarding this jewel, but as I advised in my earlier letter, this is the first occasion I have been called upon to supply the numeral 60. You might extend congratulations to Bro. Patrick on behalf of the Grand Lodge of Australasia for his long membership and service.” RABBIT NUISANCE EXTERMINATION COMMITTEE A rabbit extermination committee has been formed by settlers in the Rangitata Gorge in the Geraldine County. The committee will take advantage of the Employment Department's subsidy scheme. The following.committee has been appointed: Messrs C. J. Kerr (chairman), H. J. D. Acland, H. M. Barker, W. Connelly, A. Taylor and W. Taylor (secretary). “THE DARK ANGEL” Frederic March, Merle Oberon and Herbert Marshall play the three lovers tossed about by the relentless tides of life in “The Dark Angel,” which is being screened at the Geraldine Municipal Theatre to night and tomorrow night at 8 o’clock. Set in a lovely quite corner cf rural England, the story reflects the conflicts and triumphs in the life of Kitty Vane, a beautiful English girl, who since childhood has adored th? indifferent Alan Trent (Frederic March), and has been loved 'ey Gerald Shannon (Herbert Marshall). T< one she was a memory he had to forget, to the other she was a future beyond reach. Yet both loved her more then life itself. Beginning this week the March of Time series of pictures will be screened at Geraldine once a fortnight. Thi: week's issue deals in a dramatic and timely fashion with the wai in China, and the grave international complications that may rise.
