FACTORY ACCIDENT AN EMPLOYEE SCALDED. (“Times-Age" Special.) An unfortunate accident occurred at the Belvedere cheese factory, Carterton, yesterday morning. An employee, Mr V. Lee, as far as can be ascertained lifted a bucket of water from the floor and in doing so was unaware that it contained hot water. It is not known just how the accident occurred but Mr Lee received the contents of the bucket down his back and on one arm. He was conveyed to Dr. Wells’s surgery where he was attended to. He was taken later to his home, where he will remain for at least a fortnight. CROQUET METHODIST CLUB OPENS SEASON.

The King's Theatre, Carterton, was well filled last evening on the occasion of the concert given by Miss Nola Woods’s dancing pupils, assisted by members of the Carterton Savage Club and local soloists. The proceeds were devoted to the Provincial Patriotic Funds. The items given by Miss Woods’s pupils received appreciative encores. The dancing of the pupils was excellent and showed a high standard of training on the part of their teacher. Mrs Worsfold was in fine voice and received encores for her two numbers. Miss J. Russell delighted the audience with her singing of “Shepherds Lullaby” and “Piper from over the way.” The numbers rendered by members of the Carterton Savage Club were given in their usual finished way. Mr Don Irwin was a popular soloist and received well deserved recalls. The Carterton pupils of Miss Woods acquitted themselves well and the audience demanded a well deserved encore. Mr Don Irwin acted in the capacity of stage conductor and the accompaniments for the various items were play-ed-by Mrs Woods, Miss V. Irwin and Mr P. L. Darke. At the conclusion of the entertainment Mr H. T. Leete thanked everyone for their attendance, the appreciative hearing tendered those who contributed such a fine programme and Miss Woods for making the evening enjoyable by the splendid items of her pupils which comprised the major part of the programme. He apologised for the absence of the Mayor and announced that £34 had been taken for admission and sale of tickets.
