HITHER AND THITHER

Air Force Relations Matters in connection with the forthcoming Air Force Relations Week were advanced a stage further when the conveners of the various stalls met in the Y.M.C.A. Lounge this week. Proceedings were very enthusiastic and much detailed'work was accomplished.

A Pleasant Party The residence of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. White, College Street, was the scene of a very pleasant party on Friday night last when members of the town clerk’s and city engineer’s staffs met to bid au revoir and ‘‘happy landings” to one of their members, Mr. F. D. Glasgow, R.N.Z.A.F., who will later be proceeding overseas. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Qlasgow, his sisters and brother, were also present. The evening was passed in games, items, competitions and dancing, a delicious buffet supper being served.

Fair Will Not Be Held Readers are asked to note that the Army, Navy and Air Force Fair, which was to have been held to-night in Cook’s Gardens, has had to be abandoned owing to unforeseen circumstances. Sponsored by the Lady Galway Guild, the gathering was postponed from November 23 on account of unfavourable weather, an indoor fete being held on that day, when over £4OO was realised.

Gift Evening A very jolly gift evening was given on Tuesday night by Mrs. M. Bauld and Mrs. A. W. Vernon in honour of Miss Pearl Chelly, whose marriage to Mr. Harcourt Bowling takes place on March 1. Among those present were Miss Pearl Chelly, Mrs. Chelly. Mrs. Bowling, Mrs. O. Allan, Mrs. W. Bauld, Misses E. Mather, B. Bradshaw, S. Blackman, P. Woods, A. Barrett, I. Gilmour, K. Ashworth, E. Gibson, M. Hartnett, A. Reynolds, Doreen Reid, Dorie Reid, B. Malcolm, N. Gibbard. Other hostesses have been Misses Sylvia Blackman, Esther Gibson, Ena Feltham and Mrs. Reynolds.

Marriage of Former All Black Of wide interest was the wedding celebrated recently in Wellington, when Mr. Bernard Sidney Sadler, a former All Black, well known throughout the Dominion, the youngest son of Mrs. A. Sadler, Berhampore, and the late Mr. Sadler, was married to Noeline Welborne, elder daughterof Mr. and Mrs. Jack Nelson, Eastbourne. The ceremony took place nt. St. Mark’s Church, the Rev. I. Edwards being the officiating minister. Care of Your Shoes.

You may think you are being economical if you buy one pair of shoes and wear them continuously until they are almost in holes before taking them to be mended. You are really being extravagant; for a shoe worn thus will soon be quite useless to you. Two pairs of shoes at least should always be in use, and they should be worn on alternate days if possible. This keeps them fresh, in good shape, and makes them last considerably longer than twice as long as two pairs of shoes bought consecutively. They should be taken to the cobbler long before they show signs of going into holes, and if possible they should be “long-soled”—this means that a layer of leather from heel to toe should be put on, and not the more usual sole-piece and heelpiece. Good shoe polish, though ti may seem expensive, is a shoe economy, for it makes the leather supple and soft, and makes the shoes waterproof. Varnishing the soles of heavy shoes makes them waterproof and also less likely to wear out quickly.
