The focal branch of the W'airarapa Egg Circle have been ,advised that last week's consignment" realised Is 7d per dozen. Mrs C,. M. Wakelm, who has acted as superintendent for a number of years at St. Mark's Sunday School, lias resigned) her position, and Mr C. A. Opie has accepted the position. * The children ; of the Parkvale, Dalefield, and Belvedere schools are to be'taken on a. railway excursion to Wellington on Fi'iday, arid- will, ■spend the best part of the, day .at Newtown Park. About- 250, including adults, will make tlie,trip. The rule that the public:swimming baths should norti be used -after ten o'clock on Sundays has not 'been strictly adhered to, and consequently the baths a.re beginning to become a sporting ground for ■■ those who can find little else to while away the day of rest. The matter has been referred : to in the local paper, and it is understood that- the . practice is to be "nipped in'the bud."■; (Jt is stated that numbers'who are not members of the baths take advantage of the: of the caretaker • on Sundays, and some are credited with going down at nine o'clock in the evening to get a cheap swim, rather than pay the. ordinary charge of 3d or take a season ticket of 55. -
