'PIONEER ODD FELLOWS BIRTHDAY GREETINGS. Last evening members of Loyal Heart of Oak Lodge of Odd- Fellows. Manchester Unity, paid a visit to the residences of P.G. Bro. John Fensham and P. G. Bro. John Hart to wish them many happy returns of their respective birthdays, the former having reached the age of 90 years and the latter 89 years. The health of both was toasted and the best of wishes extended to them. Both are enjoying fairly good health despite their age, and related many stories of early Wairarapa. Each had received many congratulatory telegrams and letters, including a letter from the Wellington District Secretary. Bro. Fensham joined the Rose of Sharon Lodge of Odd Fellows in the Hutt district in 1870, and eight years later became a member of the Heart of Oak Lodge, Carterton. He has. therefore, been an Odd Fellow for 71 years, and is probably the oldest living member of the order in New Zealand. Bro. Hart joined the Carterton Lodge in 1877. COMING OF AGE PARTY

There is at present on display in a shop window in High Street, Carterton, a number of articles made by the members of the Lady Galway Guild. Each garment has been re-made from a worn one and the finished articles reflect much credit on the band of ladies who meet once a week and work so willingly. There are also on exhibition quilts made from small pieces of material and filled with the clippings from otherwise waste goods. These will no doubt be appreciated by those in need of warm bedding in Britain and elsewhere. All the garments, so generously donated through the clothes drive in July of last year, have now been made up. A. further appeal is made for goods for this worthy object. Personal Items. When school broke up yesterday afternoon the teaching staff gathered to bid farewell to Miss Maxwell, who has been on the staff for some consid- , erable time. Mr W. Martin, headmaster, referred to the excellent capabilities of Miss Maxwell as a school teacher. He asked her to accept as a slight token cf their respect a silver cake slicer.
