To meet requests made a Basket Social has been arranged to take plane in the public hall on Friday, December 11th, at Waiuku, under the auspicits of the Waiuku Belgian Fund. Ladies in Waiuku and district are specially invited to assist the trustees of the fund in making the affair a 6uccess. As there has been no function of the kind in Waiuku for a long time it is hjped to have a very successful social. A good dance programme will be presented, and music will be kindly provided by the Waiuku orchestra. When supper time comes round the baskets handed in for the purpose will be put up by auction, and the usual procedure in regard to Eupper will be followed.

Mr R. Burn?, Acting-Consul for Belgium, writes to the secretary of the Waiuku Belgian Fund tendering the best thaDki of the Executive Committee of the Auckland Provincial Belgian Releif Fund, and the Consulate, to all those who have assisted in the campaign in Waiuku. The letter continues: "We are indeed grateful to all those who have contributed; and the response we have met with from the country towns and district's has bjca most generous." Mrs Manning has donated a turkey to be sold for the Belgian Fund at the Waiuku yards on the 10th inn.; and Mr R. Scouller has donated a hogget, which will probably be sold on the sth inst. In response to an appeal from the Officer Commanding 3rd Auckland MoiiDted Rilles, per Captain Aldred, the Waiuku Patriotic Fund Trustees have voted £lO towards the regimental band's instrument fund. 'J he band's oihcials very patriotically allowed a number of instruments, to the value of £2OO, to be taken away by a section of numbers who left with the Expeditionary Force, subject to an understanding that same be replaced by donations from patriotic sources. A good programme has been prepared for the concert to ba xiven by pupils of Mrs Maurice in the Public Hall this evening, and the entertainment promises to be of a Buccesstul order. The proceeds are for the Belgian Relief Fund.
