The children of the primary department of Featherston District High School are to present a three-act comic operetta “The Princess Ju Ju” in the Town Hall tonight. Trucking of. Lambs. The atrocious weather conditions severely hampered trucking arrangements at the local station yesterday, several hundred lambs being held back until today. Drovers were seen until a late hour last night carefully sheperding their charges into holding paddocks. As the stock road was under water, the lambs were driven through the street.
