SPORTS CLUB MEETING TO BE HELD IN FEBRUARY. ("Times-Age” Special.) At a special meeting of the Ahia-ruhe-Ponatahi Sports Club it was decided to hold the annual sports on February 22, 1941, and to donate the whole of the net proceed,? to the Patriotic Fund. The sports will be held in conjunction with a Paddy's Market conducted by the Carterton District Patriotic Committee, and other activities by the Wairarapa P. and A. Society and the Masterton Interhouse Association. It is hoped to raise a substantial sum of money for the Patriotic Fund by these combined efforts. Clareville Cheese Factory. The dismantling of the old Taratahi Cheese Factory is being carried out by the purchaser of the building. The Taratahi Cheese Company was one of the pioneer cheese companies established in the Wairarapa. For a long period of years it served the district until more modern factories sprung into existence. The amount of milk delivered to the factory did not warrant it being kept open. The suppliers that remain in the district are now delivering their milk to other factories adjacent to Clareville. The building, a very old one, was built of the very best timber the sawmills supplied in those days and is as sound as the day it was erected.

Gas Refrigerator, The manager of the Carterton Gas Works, Mr A. Ingley, has installed a gas refrigerator for a Carterton client. This is the first one installed by the Carterton Gas Committee and is working excellently. Home Guard Parade. The Home Guard will hold a parade in the Band Room tomorrow evening.
