ENJOYABLE PARTY SOLDIERS ENTERTAINED. (“Times-Age” Special.) A party of Carterton ladies and Mr Rex Porter paid a visit to the Y.M.C.A. premises last evening and gave a most enjoyable concert at which a large number of soldiers were present. The Women’s Division’s concert party was also present and gave a very amusing sketch. All the items were encored. The following was the programme:— Mandolin solo, Mrs H. E. Ordish; song and tap dance, Misses M. Lawrence and A. Sorensen; song, Mrs L. Johnson; “Professor Gagets,” Mr Rex Porter; tap dance, Mrs J. Bridge; recitation, Mrs K. Hodder. A community sing, with Miss V. Irwin at the piano, was much enjoyed. Building Society. At a meeting of the Terminating Building Society, over which Mr. L. H. Smart presided, no tenders were received for a loan of £6OO. A ballot was then taken for two lots of £3OO each, the winners being Miss M. G. Hitchman (Martinborough) and Mr W. Vaughan (Carterton).
