Chimney Repairs.

The variation in charges for chimney repairs in Masterton is indicated by the following quotations, which a Masterton resident received for a small repair job. Three prices were obtained, one of £lO, one of £6 6s, and a third of £1 15s.

Car Missing. A dark blue sedan car, with pressed steel wheels and a registration number 10-949 was reported missing from Chapel Street, Masterton, last night. It belongs to Mrs M. M. Aplin, of 2 Hackei' Street. It was taken some time between 6 p.m. and 12.55 a.m. today. Meat on Fridays.

Sydney papers announce that Archdeacon Dr Gilroy has received permission of His Holiness the Pope to announce a dispensation to Australian Catholics to eat meat on Friday. This dispensation is said to have been made on account of the shortage of certain foodstuffs, and the scarcity and exorbitant price of fish. An Archdeacon’s Tilt.

A tilt at the habit of idealising the past as seen in the churches was indulged in by Archdeacon W. Bullock, Wellington, when addressing the gathering in the Auckland Town Hall in connection with the campaign for Christian order. Taking some examples from his own church, he exclaimed: “As for gaiters—well, I ask you! After five years of persuasion I have put them on, but why only God and the angels know.” He caused much amusement by alleging that the Scots so idealised whisky that he had known them when all the bottle? were empty to put the corks through the mangle.
