Paul, as M.Cs, kept the dance moving merrily to the tuneful strains of the piano (Mrs Wods) and the violin (Mr Van Heck). At Egmont Village on Thursday night, a concert was given in aid of the candidature of Miss Hilda Bishop, who contributed a recitation to the splendid programme arranged by the energetic Sports Committee.

Egmont Village, Kaimiro, Korito, Kent Road, Carrington Road, and quite a number of young men from Inglcwood, are taking the.matter up most heartily. This epidemic "is spreading like . the measles.
