The Levin Chronicle. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1918.

While tlio many enjoy themselves there are always a devoted few who have to work to make that enjoyment possible. The success of Levin's "peace celebrations this we-ek was largely—if not entirely due to the foresight and unselfish enth'ueiaMn of a small band* of dievoted workers whose labours cannot be allowed to pass unnoticed. The •Mayor and Cr Mathieson were the prime movers tin. connection with the festivities, and it is only due to them to say that the control, tliey exercised over the whole function enabled it to }>'■ earned out so Ratiisfacftorily. Tlio lown dork (Mr B. «, Gardener) was mninly responsible, witihi the co-opera-tion of the local clergy, for the thanksgiving service 011 Tuesday night, and as usual when he takes a matter in hand, nothsng was left undone to secure. the completeness and detail 1 of the arrangements. Mrs Hugh! Hall had charge of the luncheon for the returned men and carried out her work with cuVitomary energy and thoroughness. She was ably assisted by Mesdames Pink. Plaster and Grreggaii and Misses Smith and Anderson, while welcome aid; was given by Messrs Moynihan, Oak and, F. O. Smith. On© of the hardest worker,s was i';ho Borough Overseer (Mr CI tannings) who, with hie staff, commenced at an early hour on Wednesday morning to get the grounds in order and put in a heavy day's work before the public arrived. Mr Les. Scott provided the Kaiser-sliy and the Punch and, Judy show which brightened the day for 'Hie litle folk, and he or-

ganised, with Cr Matheson, the open- j air concert in the evening. The tea- i chers and others responsible for the dressing of the children in the proces- ! sion are to be commended for the taste and expedition displayed.. Thanks are also due to Mr A. L. Williams for two , tins of lollies, Mr Dean for a gift of j 50 jars of cordials, the Levin Dairy Co. ' for ten gallon;; of milk. [
