PATEA

GOLF Closing day competitions at the [ Patea Golf Club last Saturday were made more interesting by the presence of Miss Olive Kay, who, with several other Hawera players, motored through for the afternoon. Frequent light showers of rain and a strong northerly wind made the conditions unpleasant, for play, but this did not deter a large crowd of players, both local and visitors, from attending. There were visitors present from both the neighbouring clubs, Hawera and Waverley. Mixed foursomes were drawn up and this play was followed, after afternoon tea with competitions in approaching and' putting and long driving for the men. •In asking Mrs. Honeyfield senr. to present the trophies, the club captain, Mr. E. Harris, welcomed the visitors and hoped that they would all be present next year, both for opening and closing days and all the time between. He apologised for the absence of the president, Mr. C. R. Honeyfield, who was away on business- Three cheers for the owners of the property of the golf links, Messrs. Honeyfield Bros., were given ringingly. Mrs. Honeyfield then presented the trophies for the season and the afternoon’s play as follow:—Senior championship: G. Hughes; -junior championship, It- Adams; C grade championship’: N.

COMMUNITY CROCKERY So generous was the response received by the committee from the various sports and local associations in the town that the purchase of a set of community crockery for the Town Hall supper-room has now been accomplished and part of the set was used on Friday afternoon. The Borough Council has erected a cupboard to hold the dozens of cups, saucers, plates and dishes, etc., and the completion of the purchase of the complete ball supper set will be made when the remainder of the sums promised have been collected. A meeting of the committee was held on Friday night, the Mayor (Air. F. Ramsbottom) presiding, he with Mr. T. Hill being trustees. A caretaker was appointed and the charge for hire of the crockery was discussed and settled. This charge will be £1 to any non-contributors to the fund, which charge includes depreciation, hire and caretaker, but not breakages. TARANAKI REGIMENT PATEA PLATOON Twenty-four members of the Patea platoon of the Taranaki Infantry Regiment are in camp at the Patea Domain under Captain R. W. Haddow, and are undergoing the usual training. On Friday night an officer of the N.Z.S-C., from New Plymouth, was present, when a practice in night firing w T as held on the Patea range. Verey lights and tracer bullets proved attractive to a large number of town residents, who watched the practice with interest. Yesterday afternoon a parade was held in the Domain, where the Municipal Band was in attendance. Here also a large crowd of people watched the parade, and it was evident that “there’s something about a soldier, that’s fine, fine, fine.”
