UNEMPLOYED RELIEF,
THE PIERROTS’ CAMPAIGN. PREPARATIONS FOR NEXT WEEK. Messrs. Brookman and Flanagan arc making an energetic canvass of the town for good' and cash in preparation for the Pierrots big effort next week. The response has been very good; in fact. Mr. Brookman says that it is even better than during some of the campaigns to raise funds during the war period. There has been a slight hitch over obtaining permission to raffle a number of the articles donated, but it is hoped that this wjjl be cleared up to-day. The canvass will be continued till the end of the week. Further donations received during the last 24 hours are: — Cash: Staff Weston and Billing £1 7s 6d, Mr. Dawson ss, employees Sargood, Son and Ewen £1 18s, Smart Bros. £2 2s, H. Lucas £2 6s, Dave Marshall (Westown) £3, P. J. Dbuglas £1 Is, “Sympathiser” £lO, H. H. Ward £2 2s, W. C. Phillips £1 Is, Mr. Bradbury 10s 6d, W. Smith 10s, W. T.

As has already been advertised, the campaign next week vy*»il open with a hard-up social on Tuesday night in the Coronation Hall. The torchlight procession from the Post Office will precede the dance, and, if rumor be correct, there should be some striking and amusing impersonations. It requires very little effort to make an effective hard-up costume, and a spur to the originality of those taking part will be the prizes that have been donated. The best lady will receive drapery valued at £2, and the best man photo or goods to the value of £2 2s. For those taking part in the dance only, first and second prizes will be awarded to the best two ladies, while the men will be similarly treated. Impersonations of “Burlington Bertie,” popularised by Miss Ella Shields on her recent visit, and the “Burly Old Billy” of Mr. Pat. Hanna, will be seen in the procession, and it is quite possible that these gentlemen will be provided with fitting- consorts to bear them company. The social itself is in the hands of a ladies’ committee under Mrs. Jenkins, and arrangements are well in hand. Mrs. . George’s jazz orchestra will be in attendance, and vocal items, sideshows and other attractions will be going on all the time.
