BULLfa-OHAKEA SFOSTS CLUB I Sj.'ecial ” Chronicle ” Sorvice. ] A committee meeting of the BulisOhakea Sports Club was held* on Tuesday evening. A letter of condolence was forwarded to the relatives of the late Mrs W. J. McCabe who iiarl worked assiduously lor the club on the grounds committee. Owing to a tie in the sheep-guessing competition held at the last sports meeting between Mrs W. A. Doughty ajnd Mr W. Sutherland (Flock House) tne committee decided to djraw for the winder which proved to be Mrs Dougnty; i The first Saturday in March has been applied for the annual sports meeting. The annual general meeting of the club will be held on Tuesday, November 22, when it is hoped that the younger members of the club will rolrup to take an active interest in the working of the club. GENERAL NEWS Mr Leslie Kemp, who has been releiving at the Ohutu School, Taihape, fur some six months has taken over a permanent position as teacher at the Ihuraua School, near Eketahuna. Mr Kemp is spending a few days with his parents in Bulls, and will take over his new situation on Monday. A middle-aged inebriate was fished out of the Bangitikei River on Tuesday evening by the local constable ana hailed before Mr L. M. Taverner, J.P., on Wednesday morning, convicted, fined and discharged. Opinions are divided upon the question of the daylight saving scheme, which comes into operation next week. The subject has been thoroughly thrashed out by directors of dairy companies and the opinion appears to be general that the scheme is unworkable as far as the majority of suppliers 5s concerned. Although the clock will be put on an hour, actually the cream collecting lorries of the Bangitikei Dairy Company Ltd., will leave on their rounds at the same time as here-to-fore and those employed on farms, both adults and children will disregard the Act as far as working hours are coni’he question of revising school hours is a difficult one, as far as dairy farmers’ children are concerned and school committees will have the power to regulate the new hours with a latitude of one hour granted and would like an expression of the opinion of parents attending the various schools in the district. It is proposed in most places to split the difference, schools opening half an hour earlier than in the winter months. To decide this question a general meeting will be held this evening.

A whole holiday has been granted to the children of the Bulls School today on the occasion of the Palmerston North Agricultural and Pastoral Show. In the vicinity of the Bangitikei Dairy Factory on Thursday morning, a mishap occurred when a motor cycle, ridden by a local resident and a light car driven by a stranger collided. Little damage was done to either vehicle but the cyclist and a pillion-rider both received a nasty spill. “THREE HOURS” “Three Hours,” the picture which will be shown at Bulls on Saturday evening gives Corrinne Griffith, the star, an opportunity for dramatic acting somewhat similar to that offered in “Black Oxen,” one of her most successful vehicles. In “'Three Hours” the ‘heroine’s transition from plainness to beauty is one of the headlights of the attraction but, whereas the transition in “Black Oxen” was due to pathological rejuvenation, iu this instance it is brought about by fine clothes.
