Palmerston North Notes

?! (From our own correspondent.) ' • • - August 14. : Off to Melbourne went Miss Mary Bahout » one day last week. 1 one expects to be away fj for two or three months. vr Miss Eileen Spelman’s friends will be pleased to hear that she is making slow but steady progress on the road to recovery ■ after her long serious illness. Miss Spelman i is at present staying at Raumai, in which K locality she formerly resided. ■;ji In an endeavor to lay hands on another “little bit to go on with” the choir gave a V sacred concert in the church after devotions -^bn* the first Sunday of the montfi. ft was . an excellent concert, and all who attended went home with the feeling that they received their money’s worth. Good feeling 4 that! » .V A while ago ..'the Manawatu Rugby Union set out to raise some money for local charif ties. v Accordingly a recent Saturday was set aside as “Charity ,Day” and the public was invited to patronise a special Rugby '.f ...match. * When the expenses (very light) were ? ’ paid the balance was divided by six. The rdfSt. .Vincent de Paul Society received its f|| share. £22 19s 4.1 d. It’s always well to be • exact in money matters, but what a temptation to. make it £23 ! Palmerston is talking (very quietly) "lij|| brary” again after a long silence, and it’s a case of “keep your eyes open in case somed’thing turns up.” If, a ready-made library [ fl would only fall from the skies what a lot of ;|i trouble and expense it would save! Somebody suggested using the Municipal Hall (as h it is so seldom used) over the Opera House , ;■ for the purpose, but the idea was promptly .ig rejected. Who ants to puff up to the top of the Opera. House with a load of library I f books? | News of the death in Auckland of Mr. I Raymond Reginald (Regie) Oakley reached here on Tuesday and as received with much m, regret by the people. Although it is a |. number of years since Mr. Oakley left his I home town lie is still remembered here as an I enthusiastic earnest worker who gave cheerfully and ungrudgingly of his time and abilj ity in the interests of the parish. His parents (Mr. and Mrs. P. Oakley, Church , Street, are pioneers of this district, and the . name of Oakley is interwoven with the history of the parish from the time of Father f Moreau and -the first church down to our I own day. The parishioners of Palmerston |- North extend to the Oakley family and all relatives sincere sympathy in their sorrow.— f R.I.P. / I bb-bbbbb-b
