Nativity Cantata. At the Methodist Church, Masterton, last evening, a fine rendering was given by the choir of the Nativity cantata. The soloists were Miss D. Jamieson and Mr D. Allan Burnes. Mr W. Davies was choirmaster- and Miss C. Donald presided at the organ. The Rev. G. H. Goodman conducted the service and there was a large congregation.

St. John Ambulance Dance. The final dance of the St. John Am. bulance Brigade’s year was held in the Masonic Hall on Saturday night. There was a large attendance of dancers. The music for the evening was played by J. Barnes’s Rhythm Boys. Mr K. Dean was a capable M.C. The winners of the competitions were: Monte Carlo, Miss F. Butler and partner; lucky spot, Mrs Regan and Aircraftman A. L. Cretney. A vote of thanks was passed to the ladies who had attended to the supper arrangements throughout the year. The dances will be resumed early in February.

Health Stamps on Receipts. In their zeal to help along the campaign or for the less altruistic reason that they have had no other stamps handy, some people have been putting Health stamps on receipts and duly cancelling them in the ordinary way. The stamps may look all right when so affixed, but unfortunately as receipt stamps they have no legal status and a receipt stamped with a Health stamp is not valid. Inscribed on the Health stamps is the word “Postage” only, not the words “Postage and Revenue” as on the ordinary stamps. Health stamps may be used for postal purposes only, as postage stamps and not as revenue stamps,
