The shows of arts ball in Mareeba Wednesday drew modest crowds but aims for a £1 surplus. Ladies committee led by Mrs Kearney and colleagues organized supper, music by the Volunteer Band, and a hospital charity drive.
A charity ball for the hospital featured J Pace on piano and Mrs Warre on violin. About 75 children and 30 adults participated in the Children’s Sight event at the ammad Hospite hall. Mr C F Davis of the Volunteer Hand led the program, with a lively Gram March and Bechtel’s “Reith Oh and Flames” act delighting the audience. Prizes were awarded for original costumes including a Spy under 12 and other notable outfits. The event concluded with thanks to the ladies for their generous, unpaid labor and a prize tally around £40.
A testimonial heavy item touts Dean's Ointment as a miracle cure for skin irritations. Mrs. Owen of Walker Street Cooktown says four years ago she praised it and now reports lasting relief from a skin eruption and pain. The advertisement urges public belief and repeats the product name MAX’S as its emblem.
A testimonial notes a persistent sore and daily discharge that risks becoming chronic. The ad promotes Hexona Rapid Healing Ointment as especially effective, citing Mrs. E. Fletcher of Newtown who reports her boy’s sore healed rapidly after using Rexona, from triangular pots of ten and three.
