Dental Clinics at Schools.

Dental clinics commenced to func-

tion at each of the three principal Masterton schools this morning. Plans had been prepared to carry out this arrangement in the near future but owing to earthquake damage to the Central Clinic rooms the scheme was expedited. Chimney Inspection. Unauthorised persons, it is reported, are visiting houses in Masterton offering to make inspections of chimneys, at a charge of 3s 6d per house. Householders are advised that no charge is being made for this service by the authorised inspectors, working through the Public Works Department and local bodies. Girl Found Dead. A boy walking across a paddock in the Greenmeadows district on Saturday found the body of Miss Joan Rushbrook, aged 21, in a creek at the foot of a pylon carrying a 17,000-volt power line. Miss Rushbrook, who was a postal carrier at Napier, had been missing since Thursday from the place where she- boarded. Burns on the body suggested that death had resulted from electrocution. ‘

Concert at Opaki, There was a large attendance at the concert given at Opaki on Saturday night by Mrs Miller Hope’s party. The programme was greatly appreciated, some of the items being repeatedly encored. ' Mi’ Harry Hall’s comic songs were among the most popular items on the programme, and he was encored several times.. The songs, choruses and dancing by the girl members of the party, and the items by the orchestra were also warmly applauded. The accompaniments were played by Mr Miller Hope and Misses M. Iveson and Isa Vincent. The members of the company were later entertained at supper.
