AN APPRECIATION.

The R.S.A. are greatly indebted to the splendid relations which exist between themselves and the suppliers of the following dairy factories : Gorge Roa-d, Woodend, Rimu, QroVe Bush, Mabel Bush and Tisbury. Each of the factories have donated the sum of £5 5s to the R.S.A. as an appreciation of war services. When we come to consider how they played their part during the war period and their ready expression of appreciation now that the war is over, we must say that their record has been good. These sentiments can also be expressed to Mrs Hide, Mrs Pasley? and the members of the W.C.T.U. Mrs Hide has given untold seryice to the" cause of the soldiers. In order to recognise the supreme sacrifiee of our comrades who fell in the historical bat-tle on the 12th October, 1917, a wreath was placed on the Troopers' Memorial in Dee street. The W.C.T.U. have played their part. Their members have given untold service during the war. They have worked long hours to give the soldiers^comforts It has been the practice to give a social evening to returned soldiers. The evenings have been very much appreciated and worthy of the utmost appreciation by returned men.
