INGLEWOOD.

(From Our Own Correspondent). Lieutenants Stratford and 1. Grant and Color-Sergeant J. Bullard rc-turjied to camp on Monday after a short leave spent in Inglev/ood. At the Inglewood club on Saturday a large crowd of members assembled for the purpose of making a presentation to Lieutenant Stratford. The president, in a few remarks, referred to the high pateem in which the guest was held by his fellow elulj men, and their high appreciation of hinrifi offerng his services at this trying time. After wishing him success and a safe return, he handed him a handsome pair of binoculars ill a leather case. The recipient suitably replied. The annual meeting of parishioners of St. Andrew's church was held on Friday night, the Rev. Harvie presiding. The report and balance sheet, which were most satisfactory, were adopted. Mr. Messenger was appointed vicar's warden and Mr. Dean people's warden, and Messrs. C. Hamorton, Horner, F. Brown, Wagstaff, Burnip, and Grossman vestrymen. Miss M. Hamerton was tendered a vote of thanks for her untiring efforts as organist. Messrs. Wagstaff and Messenger were appointed secretary and treasurer respectively. Mr. Geo Sutherland disposed of his property on Monday and intends leaving for Auckland, where he is taking up his residence. Mr. Sutherland has taken a keen interest in bowling and golf, and will be greatly missed by those branches of sport, and Mrs. Sutherland has taken a very keen interest in patriotic matters and been an ardent supporter of the Presbyterian church. She is leaving positions which will be. difficult to fill. The Red Cross committee are holding another of their popular socials on Friday night. An excellent programme is arranged, and the vocalists include Mrs. Birch-Johnston, of New Plymouth, and most of the leading local talent. The contractors are making good headway with the yards for the Farmers' Co.op. Organisation Society. The channelling and kerbing 'of the main street between the, Inglewood Hotel and the Ivarapete stream is well under way. The stone gutters, which have been down for something like 20 years, are being replaced by concrete channelling, and certainly bears a much improved appearance already.
