An interesting social gathering was held at the residence of Captain J Wilson on Monday evening last when the members of the Otahuhu Fire Brigade met together for the purpose of making a presentation to Fireman Hesketh who is shortly to be married. Captain Wilson, in asking Fireman Hesketh's acceptance of a handsome dinner service, wished him and his bride-elect every happiness in their married life. The recipient returned thanks for the gift and for the good wishes expressed. Fireman Hesketh, who has been to the Front and returned wounded, recently rejoined the Brigade. The death of Eileen, second daughter of Mr and Mrs Patrick McCrory, at the age of 23 years, took place at her parents' residence, Station Boad, Otahuhu, on Wednesday last after a long and painful illness. The deceased, who was of a bright disposition, was highly respected, had been identified with the Otahuhu Catholic Church and was for some time a member of the church choir. Much sympathy is felt for the parents in their sad bereavement. , A public meeting of citizens to be held in the Public Hall, Otahuhu, is called by the Mayor (Mr A McDonald) for Monday evening next at 8 o'clock, when a resolution will be passed in commemoration of the fourth anniversary of the war. It is hoped there will be a large attendance.
