ST LUKE’S CHURCH. SUCCESSFUL PADDY’S MARKET. ("Times-Age” Special.) The Paddy’s Market, which was organised by the Ladies’ Guild of St Luke’s Church, was held in the Crown Theatre on Friday and proved a decided success, the sum of £94 being taken. The Rev J. T. Holland, Vicar of Featherston, officially opened the fair in the presence of a large attendance. Throughout the afternoon and evening a happy atmosphere was very much in evidence and the stall-holders had a busy time. In the evening musical items were supplied by Master A. Carter (piano accordion) and the pupils of the Greytown District High School. The members of the Mouth Organ Band made their first public performance and were heartily applauded for their fine efforts. Great credit is due to Mr Whimp, the assistant-headmaster, who has trained the band which numbers about fifty. The stallholders were as follow: — Mystery parcels, Mesdames York, Barcham. Smallwood, Richards; sweet stall, Mesdames Tully! Burch, Stevens; produce stall, Mesdames Carter, Davis, Maxton; cake stall, Mesdames Wood, Kidd, Miss Kidd; fancy work stall.

Mr Mark Maxton returned to his home on Saturday after having been for several weeks a patient in the Greytown Hospital. Mr E. H. Trotman, who has been in the Greytown Hospital for several months, will leave by aeroplane for Rotorua on Wednesday from the Masterton Aerodrome. Mr Trotman, who is over 80 years of age, fell and broke his hip some months ago, and can only get about with help. He feels he would be unable to stand the long journey by either car or train, so has made arrangements for a plane to take him. A few years ago Mr Trotman flew to Auckland, and he is eagerly looking forward to his trip on Wednesday.
