The monthly meeting of the Carterton District High School Committee will be held tonight. Drop in Milk Supplies. The dry weather is seriously interfering ' with the supply of milk to dairy factories in South Waitarapa, there having been a substantial decrease in recent weeks. The season will probably close earlier than usual. It is probable that there will be a serious shortage of winter feed. On the eastern side of the Wairarapa Valley the country is in a worse 1 plight than on the Tararua side where rain has fallen in the hills. Personal. Miss Jean Cochrane, W.A.A.F., was the guest of Miss Daphne Sewell, Belvedere Street, for the weekend. REGENT THEATRE “TURNED OUT NICE AGAIN.” George Formby will be seen at his best tonight in the splendid comedy, “Turned Out Nice Again.” He is ably supported by Peggy Bryan.
