PRESBYTERIAN GUILD PADDY’S MARKET TO BE HELD. The monthly meeting of the Presbyterian Ladies’ Guild was held recently, when Mrs A. Johnson presided over a good attendance of members. A new member was welcomed. Mrs A. Johnson thanked all those who had made the gathering the success it was. It was decided to hold a “Paddy’s Market” on October 1, instead of the usual garden party. All members expressed their willingness to help on the stalls. Mrs McLeod offered to conduct a stall of old and new goods. The annual meeting is to be held on July 22. Patriotic Shop Day. The Greytown Citizens’ Patriotic Committee will hold a shop day on Friday. The proceeds will be used for the soldiers’, sailors’ and airmen’s parcels. Those who are willing to donate goods are asked to send same to the Crown Theatre on Friday morning. Returned Services’ Association. At a meeting of the Greytown branch of the New Zealand Returned Services’ Association Committee there were present: Miss Higginson, Messrs S. Shedden, A. G. Nisbet, W. Hutchings, R, O’Neale, R. Dyson, F. Clements and J. W. Herod. The secretary reported that 64 members were financial. This was considered very satisfactory, as only three months of the present year had gone. It was reported that the president (Mr Brass) and the secretary (Mr A. E. Prentice), of Masterton, would address the local branch on July 15. Plans have now been made to help in vegetable production, and to assist in this the local branch is arranging to provide working bees and dig the garden plots for the wives of soldiers now overseas.

The annual dance is to be held on July 19, and Udy’s orchestra has been engaged to supply the music.
