Eketahuna-Hamua Notes

(From our own correspondent.)

v October 10. Interest in the euchre parties held every Monday evening, is being well maintained. The continued success is largely due to the ladies committee —Mesdames W. J. Minogue, W. Coulton, and J. Harper, and the Misses E. and T. Gooding, A. Whitaker, and B. and M. O’Regan. A successful dance was held at Newman. Air. P. Dillon, as secretary, was responsible for the enjoyable evening and the excellent financial return.. Regret is felt that Mr. O’Donnell, of Parkville, is still in indifferent health; a fervent wish is here expressed for a rapid recovery. The examination in Christian doctrine of the children attending the classes, resulted in prizes being a waded by the Rev. Father Doherty to W. Spring (senior A) and Isobel Spring (senior B), and Rudolph Danbe, Norma O’Regan, and B. Harper in the junior class. The new bridge at Hukanui is now completed, and is a great boon to the Hukamii parishioners in shortening the distance to Mass on Sundays. A. Dougherty has been elected choirmaster at Haa. Miss Maureen Mahony, A.T.0.L., is the official organist. Air. T. Golder is deputy choir-master. Mr, M. Galvin, of Hamna. has captained -t.\ie representatives in all the big football encounters this year. The Hamua team again won the shield.
