I The Greytown branch of the Returned Soldiers’ Association held a meeting 1 last night when it was decided to hold a Christmas party on Wednesday, December 20. 1 The question of grave head-stones at 1 the Greytown Cemetery was discussed ! at length, and it was decided to bring the matter before the central commit- I tee. The local branch has been rais- '• ing a fund for head-stones but as quite ■ a number of old soldiers were buried ' from the Buchanan Home it was con- 1 sidered that this should become a dis- i trict matter. < Personal. Mr Ray Eaton, the Greytown foot- 1 bailer, who was seriously injured at a , football practice some time ago. hash left for Christchurch on holiday. L Bowling. • I’ The Greytown Club will make a 5 start on its club competitions on Sal- '. urday with singles and pairs games ' University Examinations. 1 The university entrance examina- ' tions commenced at Greytown this>) morning. '<■ A Greytown Case. c In a recent case at Greytown yester- i day and reported in the "Times-Age” it t was stated that Joseph Riki for having < aided and abetted the proprietor of the i Bush Hotel in supplying liquor to be z taken off the premises was fined £5 It and costs 10s.
