APPEAL FOR FLOUR BAGS The Gore Patriotic Committee is appealing for contributions of clean flour bags, which are very useful for packing parcels for soldiers. The 251 b size is the handiest, but 501 b bags can also be used. The Gore school children are undertaking to call at all houses in the town to collect bags, and it is hoped that citizens will make this drive a success. WOMEN’S GOLF

By beating Miss N. Paterson in the final of the Gore Ladies’ Golf Club A grade championship, Miss K. Kirk won the title for the fifth time in seven years. Her previous successes were in 1934, 1935, 1936 and 1939.

The match was played on the Croydon links in fairly good conditions and both players showed good form. Miss Paterson was two up at the end of the first 18 holes, and she held her advantage early in the afternoon, putting particularly well. Close scoring continued throughout the afternoon round and the match was decided at the last ’green, where Miss Kirk was two up.
