FIFTY YEARS MARRIED

MR. AND MRS. L. W. GLADDING Nearly 60 relatives and friends were present qt a wedding breakfast at the Domain Tea Kiosk when Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Gladding, of 169, Great North Road, celebrated the 50th anniversary of their wedding last Tuesday. Born in Hobart in 1853, Mr. Gladding came in 1862 to Auckland, where he has spent the greater part of his life. He has many reminiscences of the early days of the town. Mr. Gladding has been on the staff of the “Herald” for over 30 years. Mrs. Gladding was born in Yorkshire in 1855. Coming to Auckland four years later, she has remained here ever since. She was the daughter of Mr. George Hay ter, a well-known Primitive Methodist preacher. Both enjoy very good health. They have a family of five sons and one daughter, all of whom were present at the golden wedding celebration.

ATHLETICS FOR GIRLS

AIMS OF ASSOCIATION By securing the lease of the Remuera recreation ground, the Auckland Girls’ Athletic Association hopes to provide playing areas for between 1,000 and 2,000 girls during next summer and winter.

A meeting to further the,/ project was held last evening at the Y.W.C.A., under the presidency of Miss Jean Begg. Though the association had existed for. two years, it had never become an incorporated body, said Miss Begg. It had now been decided to become incorporated. Miss Ellen Melville had accepted the position- of honorary legal adviser. A committee was set up to go into the question of v|ays and means for raising money for necessary c tuipment and improvements to the grounds. Various plans were discussed for carrying these out. One that met with much approval was that of a copper trail. In estimating the possibilities that lay before them of raising money, an optimistic spirit showed itself, and plans were outlined for the athletic games for both winter and summer. To remove burnt jam from a pre-serving-pan, stand all night filled with strong soda-water, and in the morning wash and dry thoroughly. Use copper tacks for fastening down material which is likely to be exposed to damp. They do not rust, and are more easily extracted when no longer ! nfeded. * To prevent jam from burning, put about six marbles on the bottom of the pan before putting in th e fruit. These travel about the bottom, and the jam needs less stirring. Pearls may be cleaned by rubbing ! them for about 10 minutes in a small j bag of bran warmed by spreading on ■ a tin plate in a hot oven for a few minutes.
