FELLOWSHIP OF YOUTH A HAPPY GATHERING. (“Times-Age” Special.) A happy time was spent at the Fel-

lowship of Youth gathering last night in the parish hall when a large number of young people were present. During the evening a very interesting talk on “Toe H” was given by the Rev. J. R.

In connection with Armistice Day yesterday Miss Card, representing the Women’s National Reserve Soldiers’ Graves Committee, placed a wreath on the War Memorial. A service was held in the Anglican Church. National Savings. The Featherston quota of £155 was reached yesterday and the pennant will be flown at the masthead at the Post Office for the rest of the week.
