BOWLING GAMES PLAYED ON SATURDAY. ("Times-Age” Special.) As a number of members are away on holiday only non-championship rink games were played on Saturday. The green played splendidly. Among visitors to the green were several members of the armed forces and two members of the Park Bowling Club, all of whom were hospitably received and welcomed at afternoon tea, which was presided over by Misses M. Stent and M. Forbes, who were accorded a vote of thanks. The following games were played: Irwin, Hill, Riggs, R. Thompson (s) beat Compton, McCarty, Curtis, Harrington (s), 26/14; Clarke, Tomlin, W. Hart Whyte (s) lost to Foster, Billington, Stent, Tucker (s), 21/22; Pankhurst, Beaven, deLacey, Hughan- (s) lost to f Kilmister, Adams, Harris, Harp (s), 18/25; Newbould, Underhill G. Hart (s) lost to Smith, Simmonds, Barr (s), 17/21. Messrs. Lee and Brown (s) of the Park’ Club, Masterton, challenged Messrs. Colson and Daysh (s) for the Kelly Cup and were defeated by 32/19. This competition is for first and second year players belonging to any Wairarapa Club. The game was a very interesting one and the play did not indicate that the Carterton pair were much superior to their opponents. In a champion pairs match, Curtis and Tucker (s) defeated A. Thompson and Riggs (s), 22/12. Personal Items. Over the air yesterday morning messages were broadcast from soldiers in the Middle East to parents and next of kin. Among those who spoke were Privates Maurice (“Buddy”) and Mark Meyer, whose parents live in Carterton, and who stated that they were fit and well. The following inmates of the Masterton Public Hospital who are wellknown. in Carterton, and who have undergone operations recently, and are all doing well: Messrs. N. Hayden, Holloway Street, Carterton; W. Wadham, Brooklyn Road, Carterton, and James F. Wallis, Greytown. Mrs. F. Roydhouse, of Wanganui, who has been visiting Carterton and staying with her mother, Mrs. Crawley, Tyne Street, returned home this morning. Mrs G. Wiley has received a cable stating that her son, Pte. N. Wiley, is reported missing. Heavily-laden Race Train. One of the heaviest laden, steam trains to have crossed the Rimutaka Hill was that which left Masterton on Saturday and en route collected passengers for Trentham. It requiied four Fell engines to pull it up the hill. The petrol restrictions are bringing the railway traffic back to the position it occupied before the advent of the motor. Labour for Milking. A meeting of the Carterton branch of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union on Friday, commencing at 1.30 p.m.. will discuss ways and means of providing labour for milking, etc., in the event of an emergency in New Zealand.
