Mr. Fred Pollard has started business at. Ngaruawahia. His departure will be much felt in the parish, as he took a very practical interest in Church'matters, and was one of the collectors in the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary. He also took a very prominent part in the affairs of the Young Men's Catholic Culb. . ..'.

On Sunday evening at the Church of Our Lady of, the Rosary Miss Ina JBosworth, the gifted young Auckland violinist, contributed two violin solos, with great devotional feeling. Mrs. Cyril Towsey sang Gounod's Ave Maria,' to which Miss. Bosworth played a violin obligato. The offertory was generously donated by Dean Darby to the funds organised to send the young violinist Home to enable her to complete her musical studies. ':.'.'.

Temuka

(From our own correspondent.) :... . , ■: April 24. Mr. W. Spillane, a prominent member of the local Catholic Club, and an all-round athlete, has been nominated for a seat on the; Temuka Borough Council. The Children of Mary intend holding a social on Tuesday evening, and judging by the manner in which members are working the function should eclipse any that has yet been held. The Catholic Club opened its current session on Tuesday last, when about 20 members attended. The programme consisted of a mock banquet, and a very long toast list was gone through. Musical items were given by Messrs. Keen, G. and W. Spillane, F. O'Connell, and W. Fitzgerald, and were much appreciated. Mr. Keen received a hearty vote of thanks for acting as accompanist throughout. Altogether, the opening meeting was a great success.
