FEATHERSTON

LADIES’ REST ROOM. NOW OPEN FOR USE. (“Times-Age” Special.) The ladies rest room is now open in the Library Buildings. It has been comfortably furnished with a couch and easy chairs. There is an electric kettle which can be used on payment of Id. The Rest Room will be found very convenient for country people as well as the town folk. It will certainly fill a long felt want.

Mrs Cross (1) and Mr Reg Watson (2) won the prizes in the men’s division. Personal. Mr and Mrs H.
