EFFORTS AMALGAMATED NURSING AND NAVY QUEEN. MISS BURLING RETIRES FROM CONTEST. At meetings of the Nursing Services Queen and Navy Queen supporters, it has been agreed to amalgamate the efforts to provide less overlap.

Miss Burling's services will not. however. be entirely lost. She has agreed to act as proxy for Miss Barton at some of the functions where the latter cannot be present, and has very graciously agreed to support Miss Barton’s candidature fully. Previous supporters of both these organisations are asked to rally round I the joint service. ARAIY QUEEN MARBLES CHAMPIONSHIP. MUNICIPAL HALL LAST NIGHT.
