WELCOME HOME
FUNCTION HELD AT PURIRI LARGE CROWD ATTENDS DANCE A large crowd attended the dance held in the Puriri Hall las.t week to welcome home from overseas two sol- • I diers well-known in the district. They were Sergeant M. M. (Jimmy) Roe and C. E. MeGonnell. Both men were popular in the district before war broke out and a large number of district residents were present. During the evening, the M.C., Mr J. Moyle, welcomed the guests of honour, emphasising the pleasure of Puriri residents in being able to organise such a function. Sergeant Roe suitably replied. Music was supplied by Walker’s Orchestra, and dancing continued until a late hour.
Give children’s whote shoes a coat of white paint when they become too soiled to be made white with polish. A damp cloth and a little soap will then keep them clean and save buying shoe-polish. When you particularly want to finish aiiy extra housework before knocking off for lunch, eat a hcadfa of raisins. I always find, this drives away that weak, hollow feeling and gives added energy for a final spurt.
