CONCERT AT INFIRMARY

EVENING ORGANISED BY ONEHUNGA BRANCH OF HOSPITAL AUXILIARY The inmates of the Epsom Infirmary were entertained last evening by a concert party organised by Miss Laura Walker, under the auspices of the Onehunga branch of the Auckland Hospital Auxiliary. The varied programme was received with hearty applause by the inmates, on whose behalf Mr. 11. Foster expressed appreciation. While the concert was in progress in the main hall Miss Clare Seale delighted other inmates in the wards with graceful exhibitions of Spanish dancing. Items were given by Miss Laura Walker, Airs. G. A. McKendriek, Airs. Kevan, Air. O’Kane, Air. Pooley and Mr. F. Green, who also acted as accompanist. TE AWAMUTU PRESENTATION MRS. W. H. WOOD Appreciation of the work done by Mrs. W. H. Wood in the interests of Te Awamutu and district were expressed on Friday evening. Airs. Wood, who is leaving Te Awamutu, was paid a glowing tribute by the Alayor, Mr. C. G. Downes, who. referred to her active participation in every organisation for the welfare of the town. The organisations with which she had been associated were represented at the meeting, and all wished to show their appreciation in some small tangible way. Aliss Estelle Jeffery, a member of the Girl Guides, asked Airs. Wood’s acceptance of a beautiful purse containing a substantial sum in banknotes, and also a very pretty bouquet. In expressing her thanks for the •Sift and the sentiments prompting it, the recipient said she had been rewarded long ago for anything she had done for the town. Her work as official visitor to the Tokanui Institute had given her a wonderful insight into the lives of the unfortunates, and she appealed for help on their behalf in the matter of gifts and dainties that may help to give them pleasure. During the evening competitions, games and musical items were enjoyed by those present. FIRST AID AT PT.
