THE FINAL PEACE.
Sir,—Much has been said and written on. how, when peace comes to celebrate an event the world wiIJU ~, un,d • ■alneady authorities everywhere -Ve organising to celebrate the occasion. What organisation and planning concerning this district can do was recently exemplified by the Grandmothers' Derby and the various Gymkhanas promoted by those willing workers for Patriotic funds. Their knowledge experience an,d genuine sense of community goodwill could be used in organising a two-day Sports Meeting at which our district could celebrate. The idea has been suggested for such an event with a programme covering horse events, rodeo events including steer 'riding . track ruitning s children's events and a host of Items that in the aggregate form an enjoyable day. Patriotic committees Avould perhaps concider this point and further consider the delegation of one or two of their members for a ccntral discussion regards ing the formation of such a fixture. It has been suggested that entries for the various classes would receive the full co-operation of sportsmen and undoubtedly those bands of which this district is very proud—•' the Caledonian Pipe Band and the Boys' Band—would co-operate to the -full. Assuming that such a gathering could lie organised it would be right and proper for the proceedings to , commence by a. Thanksgiving Service and in this our Ministers' Associa;-'-: tion would be pleased to help. Given . fine weather both' daj r s would prove a fitting way to celebrate the Victory we have continually prayed for. Yours etc. ? R. THOMPSON.
