SCHOOL CONCERT. There was a crowded attendance at the Town Hall on Monday evening, when a very enjoyable school concert was given by the children of the Stratford School. The performance was a very meritorious one, and a credit to the children and the teachers who coached them. The singing of Uie chorus was very good. The first part of the evening was taken up with items by the small children, individual items being interspersed with choruses. An opening address was prettily delivered by Lilly Soar, and individual items were given by Jean and Joan Ward (duet), Albert Kuch and Derrick Scoble (duet), Moira Grubb (song), Upham Steven. Joy Foster and. Enid Keeble (recitations). Joy Foster made a very pretty Sleeping Princess and Noel Lightband a dashing Prince in an enjoyable concerted number. This part of the ente. tainment was under the supervision of Miss Papps, who was ably assisted by Miss Parrot and Miss Curd. The second half of the programme was taken up with an operetta, “The Rose of Joy”, by the bigger children. The principal parts were taken by Miss Rebecca Taylor (Queen), Alec Cameron (Magician), Colin Wilson (Jester), Misses Jean and Joan Ward (Pages), Robert Clark (Dragon) and Miss Isobel Beere (Leader of the Sunbeams). The little play was most acceptable, and showed that much care had been spent in preparation. Mr. J. Edmondson was the director, and he was assisted by Misses Cathie and Field and Mrs. Edmondson. Pianoforte duets were played by Misses Curd and Weston at the beginning of both intervals. The takings at the door amounted to £4O, a very gratifying result to those who worked hard for the concert.

GENERAL. A meeting of the sub-committee appointed by the Stratford A. and P. Association to go into the matter of holding a sports meeting was held last night, when it was decided to run a sports carnival on March 2, 1922. The suggested programme includes a cycle marathon race, woodchopping and sawing events, sheep-dog trials, tug-o’-war, Scottish dancing, running, and horse and motor obstacle events, and if it is possible to gain a permit from the New Zealand Trotting Association it is also suggestion that trotting matches should be held. At a meeting of the Stratford Swimming Club held last night it was decided to hold a carnival on January 12, and to run a full programme of events both afterrioon and evening. A comprehensive programme was drawn up, and members of the committee are already canvassing for entries. It is expected that the carnival will be attended by champion swimmers, who will give exhibitions. The president and secretary were appointed a sub-committee to complete arrangements for the erection of a dressing-shed, which is to be paid for out of the club’s funds. Mr. C. S. Kelly was elected a life member of the club. x

An adjourned meeting of the creditors of George Savage, platelayer, of Te Roti, was held at Stratford yesterday afternoon. Mr. R. S. Sage, deputy official assignee, Hawera, presided, and there were a number of creditors present from Whangamomona. Mr. S. Spence represented some’ of the creditors, and Mr. G. W. Bayley appeared for the bankrupt. Bankrupt and his wife were examined as to their affairs, but no action was taken.

Housewives are advised to book their orders for Christmas lamb at once. NEWS CHRISTMAS NUMBER.
