POLO GYMKHANA Arrangements arc well in hand towards making the Pareora Polo Club’s Gymkhana at Fairlie on January 2, an outstanding success. There will be an extensive athletic and sports programme, a number of pony trotting events, and various novelty games in addition to an exhibition polo match. In view of the picnic nature of the outing, hot water will be supplied free.

“THE LADY FIGHTS BACK” “The Lady Fights Back,” a story based on Arthur Stringer’s novel “Heather of the High Hand,” will be screened at the DeLuxe Theatre, Fairlie to-night. The story deals with the highly amusing battle of Irene Hervey, pretty girl manager of a fashionable fishing club on a river in the north woods, to keep Kent Taylor, handsome young engineer, from building a dam that will spoil the fishing paradise. A March of Time short is included in the programme.
