MIGHTIEST SEA DRAMA. "SLAVE SHIP” AT CIVIC THEATRE. Storming in epic sweep over half the world, as the last slaver sails on its last desperate voyage, "Slave Ship” opens to-night at the Civic Theatre, giving the screen a new clamant for the title of mightiest 01 all the sea sagas. Twentieth CenturyFox's most spectacular production of the year, "Slave Ship” co-stars Warner Baxter and Wallace Beery in a pulsing tale of the slave-trading era, with Elizabeth Allan and Mickey Rooney among those on the boat as, with decks reddened by mutiny, it roams the seas on its final fury-racked voyage. In the most colourful role of a colourful career, Warner Baxter pla.'s Captain Jim Lovett, romantic scourge of two seas, who defies the navie.- of the world, is betrayed by a shipmate, and fights at last for love in the greatest sea adventure of them all.

FEILDING A. AND P. SHOW. ALTERATION OF DATES PROPOSED. The general committee of the Feilding A. and P. Association is to consider a proposal that in future the annual show be held on Friday and Saturday instead of on Tuesday and Wednesday during the first week in February. The proposal, which was advanced by the Feilding Chamber of Commerce, was placed before the meeting of the association on Friday night by Mr. G. J. Fitzpatrick, who stated that now that Saturday was observed as the weekly half-holiday, the holding of People's Day' on the Wednesday meant that the association required to appeal to shopkeepers to observe a half-holiday on the Wednesday. This was inconvenient as there were quite enough statutory holidays and half-holidays already, although the business people had always been ready to meet the wishes of the association and close their shops for People’s Day. The meeting agreed to recommend the proposal to the general committee for its consideration. PERSONAL. The death occurred in the Palmerston North Hospital on Saturday of Mr. Leonard Kreegher, who was found deeply unconscious in an outhouse at the rear of a Feilding hotel late on Thursday night. Deceased, it is thought, slipped on concrete to suffer a severe injury to his head. He was a freezing works employee and a returned soldier. MEN’S HOCKEY. On Saturday, the Marton Kia Ora men's hockey team was defeated at Feilding by Feilding Wanderers, the score being three goals to two. For the winners C. Fisher (2), and T. Barrel (1), notched goals, while D. McLennan scored both goals for Marton. Next Saturday a five-a-side tournament is to take place at Feild-

ing. Kia Ora will be represented by two teams. Kia Ora A (black): P. Loftus (captain), D. McLennan, K. Marshall, H. Carpenter, L. Palmer, Kia Ora B (blue): R. Wing (captain), K. Armstrong, D.
