4 The number of tickets issued, for the Levin swimming bath's .so i'ar this season is 30. Of this number 2i are individual tickets and three are lamily tickets. The revenue received to date is £5 Bs. This is a great mprovement on last year when the revenue for the whole season was only £8 lis 9d." The lleverend Mr. Eggleton, who :& at present staying with his brother Mr W. Eggleton, Levin, will preach at St. Mary's Anglican Church, Levin, on Sunday (to-morrow) evening. Members of the Church of Englaid are optimistic aboift-the success o~f the bazaar which is t-o be hold in the Century Hall next ednesday audi Thursday afternoon and evening. The tickets have sold more freely than n previous years, and the quantity of articles offered for the sale of work is veil up to expectations The present has so far been an ideal reason, and from all parts of Southland reports are arriving (says the "Timos") that results are much better than they were at this time last year. Butter-fat tests, too, for r>o early m the season are remarkably high. Add to this the record prices that are being obtained, and it needs \io lightning calculator to arrive at a conclusion that Southland diairy farmers are in for a record year Following are the results of tile home nursing examination held by the First Aid Class:—Mrs Kirkcahlie, 'Airs Gorringe, Miss Jessie McKegg, Miss Adkin, Miss Jo.U, Mrs Matthews, Min Riehtcr, Miss Fitzhcrbert, Miss Gladys Cork. Mrs Stealey, Miss Honori Andrews, M is* Mabel Sutherland, Miss Ward, .Miss C. Sutherland, Mrs Cork, Miss Eraser, .Miss Korman, Mns Vickers,' Miss Goldsmith. The names are in order of -merit. The balance-sheet can be seen at any time at Miss Gardner's studio, where certificates will <. e obtainable in about a lortnight's time The "hard-up" dance in the Druids' llall last evening 'was the means of bringing together a great collection ol "hard-up" people, and the management had- not the slightest chance ol inflicting fines on those who parade their wealth by appearing in costly raiment. There ' was evidence last night that some excellent patchwork can be done hereabouts at a pinch, and that white shirts, collars, ties," silk dresscs and such like things are not an absolute necessity. The " hard-up" supper—bread without butter, Belgian (not German) sausage, cheese, tea and coffee, went down with a good appetite. The music was played by Mr A. Mason, assisted by Messrs A. Rook, J. Hose, and C. Mudgwny, and left nothing wanting. Messrs G. Jones and E. S. Lancaster wore M's.C. Nearly ill the services of the dance were given free, and the management has the sum of £3 5s in hand to give to the Wounded .Soldiers' Fund. The attention of the public-is drawn to the opportunity afforded for a limited time—i.e., twelve months from the lltli October, 1915—t0 persons, or the parents of persons, who we're born in New Zealand before llth April, 1915. but wlio.se births have not previously been registered, of effecting a spectil registration by application to the lleg-istrar-General, Wellington.
