Proceedings began at 8 o'clock with an overture by the Nyabing orchestra, the gentlemen composing which do all in their power towards helping local entertainments. Mr. C. WisbeV, J.P., chairman for the evening, then' called upon the various young performers for their several items, which consisted of songs sung by all the children, and recitations by the Misses Dorothy Kippen and Katie Charslev, and Masters Wilfred Charsley. Harry Kippen, and Carl Fiebig. The last-named should one day make a name for himself as a comedian, I his recital of his woes through having to wear the garments “my mother makes for me, bringing down the bouse. The whole performance, both action songs and recitations, was gone through by the children with a confidence and lack of self-consciousness that would have done credit to older performers. The teacher. Mrs. Fiebig. has earned the warm thanks of the parents for what she has done for their children during the short time she has been in the district.The first part of the entertainment was concluded by Mrs. Charslev presenting each child with a book as a souvenir of their first year at school. Owing to the generosity of the friends who so kiudly subscribed for the books, the whole of the takings at the door, amounting to £3 10s., were given by the children to Red Cross and Sandbag Funds. This was augmented by the proceeds I of two art unions—Mrs.Coff, jun., I a worked cushion cover, and Mrs. Clegg, two d’oyleys, which brought in £1 138. 6d. and £1 12s. respectively. The winners were Mr. Stanley Thompson and Mr. Mul-lenger, of Katanning.An enterprising lady, Mrs. Halterraan, was responsible for the idea of arranging for a “ cake auction, so that bachelors living in' the solitudes of the trackless bush might be reminded of some of the joys of civilisation, and at the same time help to swell patriotic funds. Mr. Ccote filled the role of auctioneer to the manner born, though he occasionally forgot it was a cake and not a horse he was selling. “Absolutely no splints on this one, he was understood to say. When the present Go/ernment has succeeded in driving all farmers off the land and assuming State control of farms, this gentleman at least will be at no loss for a new vocation. The usual dance brought an enjoyable evening to a close.TarGLUN(BOA1REiMiUnderbupjOnSRESvEuti events Race. Race, otte K RiderEntr.ADLadieFulWOOIf1wed:MR.£rAfleMMK.\\T E
