BULLS

RS.A. A meeting of the committee of the R.S.A. was held in the Bulls on Friday evening, five members being present. After routine business had been conducted a report of the sale of poppies was presented, the total of which was £l3 17s. Considering the stress of the times this is a very satisfactory' result, and the thanks of the committee are due to all who sold poppies, and also to the public for their generous response to the appeal. As there are a number of returned soldiers here who are unemployed, this will be a big help to them during the winter months. As the membership in this district is now 40, the branch is entitled to two representatives on the Marton executive. Mr. W. A. Churchill is already a representative, and it was unanimously decided to appoint Mr. J. Cam>on to the second position. Various other matters of importance were dealt with, and final arrangements were made for the social evening to be held in the Town Hall supper roomon Wednesday, May 12. All diggers arc asked to remember the date, and to roll up for a good evening’s entertainment. A good programme has been arranged, and the guest of the evening will be Mr. B. J. Jacobs, of Palmerston North, a Dominion vice-president of the association, and an entertainer worth listening to; MINIATURE R.C. FIXTURES.
