CARTERTON

METHODIST SOCIAL, (“Times-Age” Special.) The Methodist Church officials are busy preparing for their annual Silver Tree social next Wednesday. The Tree is a direct method of giving. It is hung with bags containing gifts from all. A competition is to be held, each guest being requested to represent a tree and the remainder guess what tree is represented. A special concert programme has also been arranged. DONATION TO SOCIETY. As the result of the production “Who Are They?” presented by the Carterton Amateur Comedy and Dramatic Society, the local branch of the Plunket Society has been handed a cheque for £5 6s Id. BOY SCOUTS. Some years ago there was a strong Boy Scouts contingent in Carterton but owing to various causes the movement died. However, at a meeting held on Wednesday night it was decided to form a troop of Boy Scouts. Mr-N.' C. C. Shepherd, of Featherston, District Commissioner, drew attention to the value of publicity, and stated that the movement did not use the Press as much as it should. The papers, he said, were always willing to publish anything in connection with the Scouts and the officials would. be well advised to hand in any news they had. He paid a warm tribute to Miss J. Edge, whose efforts had kept a Pack of Cubs, in existence for the past two years. Mr J. J. Barclay, late of a Scout Troop in Wellington, offered his services .as Scoutmaster and he was appointed to the position. Those present formed themselves into a committee with Mr R. Wakelin as chairman and Mr J. Finn as secretary. NOTED FOOTBALL FAMILY. Referring to the previous paragraph in connection with members of the McKenzie family, it is interesting to not that Mr W. McKenzie (“Offside Mac”) who was for many years circulation manager of the “Herald” in Melbourne, retired from active connection with the paper last year. Stewart McKenzie, son of Mr N. A. McKenzie, Napier, who has been selected to play for Hawke’s Bay against Wairarapa tomorrow, was severely injured in .the Hawke’s Bay earthquake in 1931, when attending school, and it was thought at the time, that there was little prospect of him ever playing in big Rugby. However, he made a good recovery and has followed in his father’s footsteps by being selected in the Hawke’s Bay fifteen. His father, of course, played for the Wairarapa before being transferred to Hawke’s Bay, being a prominent member of the Carterton Club. LADIES’ GOLF DRAW.
