PAPATOETOE.

The formation of a Town Board for Papatoetoe is now assuming a definite shape and particulars of the area proposed to be constituted a Town Board District are advertised in this issue. Any objections to the same have to be forwarded to the Minister of Internal Affairs, Wellington. Flags flying at the Papatoetoe Post Office, opposite the railway station, are indicative of the colours of the Red Cross carnival queens of Tamaki, Papatoetoe, and Manurewa and they indicate the respective progress of funds being raised in those places. These contests are creating a good deal of interest and as the cause of helping the Red Cross work is a worthy one it is hoped the stimulated interest now shown will be well sustained. Up to the time of our going to press Tamaki leads the way. A well attended concert in snpport of the Red Cross Campaign was held in the Town Hall, Papatoetoe, on Wednesday evening last under the chairmanship of Mr A. W. Hall. A first-class programme of vocal and instrumental items was presented as follows: Pianoforte solo, Miss Blanche George ; song "Nita Gitana," Mr A. Woolley; flute solo, Mr F.

Woolley and Miss Blanche George, concluding with the singing of the National Anthem A dance followed, the music being provided by East Tamaki residents, Mr Murphy presiding at the piano with Mr White as violinist and their help in this way was much appreciated. Mr John Watson (Chairman of the Papatoetoe Road Board) proposed a hearty vote of thanks to the artists and others who had contributed to such an enjoyable evening and this was carried by acclamation. Miss Nobes, Station Road, Papatoetoe, wishes to intimate to the ladies of Papatoetoe and the suriounding districts that she has started a dressmaking and Costumier's business.
