QUEEN CARNIVAL (Own Correspondent.) Tre ladies' committee of the Patea Patriotic Queen Carnivai held a meeting on Monday afternoon, Mrs. G. Pettigrew presiding. It was decided to ask everyone, especially the local school children, to collect newspapers for selling to local shopkeepers. The demand is very keen and quite a lot of money is expected from this quarter. It was decided to make the Press office the depot for leaving paper. The offer of Mrs. J. Pearce and Miss Pearce to make and donate a fruit cake was accepted. It was agreed to recommend to the men’s committee that a stock drive be held, and it was also decided that a euchre party be held every Friday evening in the Foresters’ Hall till the end of the carnival. Mesdames Davidson and Jackson were- left in charge of the card evenings. The weekly raffles will be drawn every Friday at the card evenings. PATEA MEMORIAL SERVICE An excellent muster of Boy Scouts under Scoutmaster F. Ramsbottom, Cubs under Cubmistress Miss G. Kelly, Girl Guides under acting-Lieu-tenant B. Ashby, and Brownies under Brown Owl Miss M. Hammerton, attended the Patea memorial service for the late Chief Scout, the Rt. Hon. Lord Baden-Powell, of Gilwell, in St. George's Church. The service was conducted by the Rev. W. Walton assisted by the Revs. E. F. Farr and W. Henderson. Cubmistress G. Kelly played the organ. During the service a sale, “Sun Of My Soul,” was sung by Mrs. J. Julian, of Wellington, and the Scouts, Guides, Cubs and Brownies renewed their promises, led by their respective leaders. After referring to the wonderful work the late Chief Scout had done, Mr. Walton emphasised the wonderful privileges and opportunities they had in the Guide and Scout movement with its high aims and basis. He stressed the spiritual basis of the movement, without which it would fail to develop, and spoke of the value of Guiding and Scouting which helped to bring out the best qualities of girls and boys. Mr. Walton concluded by speaking of the value and wonderful heritage of the movement, which was built on the sound foundations of Christian principles.
