MARTON

AMBULANCE NOTES s Once again the St. John Day Church parade is a parade cf the past, and it is to be recorded that attendance was excellent considering the stormy night. Several members were absent, but we 1 hope they attended their own churches. Unfortunately the parade tor Lins week had to be postponed owing to the hall being engaged h r Monday, I Tuesday and Wednesday. Monday 1 still brigade night, but the committee cancelled the parade at the request of those desiring the use of the hail on Monday night. Members ol the brigade will be sorry to hear that Private 1 Parkinson had the misfortune to injure ; his elbow while playing football, and after receiving treatment from Private Duncan, who was present, he was con- < veved to St. Catherines Hospital. Me hope he is getting fit again, and that : he will soon be about. Private Bob Lewis is enjoying annual leave and Ambulance Officer McLean is relieving a.- Duty Officer. AH members available for duty please advise him. The duties for the wrestling . next week are already filled. The an- I nual meeting of the division will be < held about the middle of the month, i and there is a vacancy for the secretaryship, nominations will be receive, at ’the meeting. The cadet uniforms ' on hand are to be sold if any division ; desires them. Our friends in Taihape < Still continue lo make rapid progress, > and we feel sure their services will be re.nvii-ed in Tai’nape. The next pur- ' •ide of the division will be on Monday, < Julv ti. at S pm>. Notices will be placed in the boards regarding the na- ’ lure of the parade. RUGBY FOOTBALL TO MORROW > MATCHES Th,, second stage of the “Moye” • scheme will be derided to-morrow when the following Kangitikei matches "vartm Old Boys v. Halcombe, al Halcombe (referee, Mr. H. Chainey). Hunterville v. Pirates, at Huiiterville (referee, Mr. R. Baker) The former match will no doubt be the most interesting. When these two ■ teams met at Marton. Halcombe won ; rather easily but in the return game ■it Halcombe. Old Boys turned the tables after it verv even go and now nee "again thev are to try conclusions t,> decide which is the better team. Halcombe Inst week failed rather ; badlv against Kaierau but to-morrow , Vellows will be fielding a stronger • 11 as their Maori members hate le•irned from the Waitara celebrations. . It should be a bright display of the ' • >de with honours slightly in favour ■ the visiting team. , Hunterville ar c matched against a | .\an4nnlli term—Pirates-at Hunter- ( vil’e, an<] the red> are determined to -'■u.w the visitors that country teams f ; 1 know how to play tootball. Isoiiing much is known here of the I’irates team, but Hunterville is ex- , •.•red to extend the visitors. In the junior games Old Boys play Tuiakina at Marton. Mr. G. Burgess ■ - |X been selected to control the ; inif and Hunte-vilie meet Bulls al when Mr. I). Westwood will re- , Turukina, so far this season, have »t vet met their Waterloo, but on the icvi-ius ovasion when these tXvo ■ ' net Old B-ivs gave Turakina a ; •jreat tussle playing twelve men, going ii bv 5 to 3. and to-morrow are ■ :ilide:u that the magpies will have to iiuer their colours on this occasion. THE CIVIC THEATRE ••AGE OF INDISCRETION ’’ ”Wiom parent.- div orve—u hat rights have the children?’’ This is the question asked, and aii-vvered with dramatic intensity, in • • <»t' I n<l i-c lei ioi). ' amazing I drama <»f children of separation and I 1 In* law court.-, now playing at the Civic. Theatre. The new picture, with 1 Paul Lukas. Madge Evans, May RobI >Oll and little David .Jack Holt involved in the main action, is a graphic echo of several famours court cases of recent times. Delving into the intimate facts, it has produced a gripping piece of human interest entertainment touched with high drama. Mav Robson plays a dominant character as the millionaire mother-in-law, battlim-- with her millions to wrest a child from the arms of his father following a separation. Lukas, as the lightino- father, has one of the most unusual find interesting in his career, bbl ward Ludwig directed the new

picture from an original story by Lenore Coffee at the Metro-Goldwyn- 1 Mayer studies, which gave it lavish t staging. t 0 0 v RANGITIKEI HUNT BALL i AND POINT-TO-POINT « I Arrangements are in full swing for I the Rangitikei Hunt Club’s annual 1 b?! 1 . which will be held in the Civic 1 Theatre, Marton, on Tuesday, July 28. * The popularity of this annual function - is widely known and this season’s I event will l»o as successful as in former years.

( To-morrow a team of Marton harriers ‘ journey to New Plymouth to ’ participate in the first of a series of interclub runs between the New Plymouth and Marton Harrier Clubs. This run was brought about last year i when several local harriers spent a very interesting week-end, as the guests of the New Plymouth Club, the | occasion being the XVaitara-New Ply- . mouth road race. At a dinner tendered to the visitors ‘ in the evening, a round-table conference was held, and it was thought, that ' if an annual event, such as an interclub run was held, greater stimulus would be giyen to harricrisrn in both | clubs. It is with this object in view that Marton goes forth to-morrow for the first contest As usual, a whistle run will be held ‘ in Marton for those who are unable to attend at New Plymouth, commencing at 2.30 P-m., from the Parish Hall.

WRESTLING. 1 There must be many Rangitikei who have listened to ringside descriplion.s of Earl McCready wrestling but have not had the opportunity of seeing the British Empire champion in action. Now an opportunity presents itself, for McCready will be wrestling in the Civic 'Theatre, Marton, on 'Tuesday evening next. His opponent will be King Elliot, who recently returned from the States, where he had a successful season, and the New Zealander is keen to be the first in the IDominion to take a fall out of the big Canadian. Admittedly he has the job in front of him, but one thing js certain, it will be a great contest. MARTON GOLF CLUB. The following is the draw for tomorrow’s stroke competition:— F. J. Christensen v.
