Nyabing.STATE SCHOOL ENTERTAIN M ENT.The Nvabing State School was the scene of a bright little entertainment last Kridav evening, when the children went through *1 programme of songs and recitations. Proceedings began a»- 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. Wisbcy, 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 Kippcn and Katie Charslev, and Masters Wilfred Chars ley, Harry Kippon, and Carl Fiebig. The last-named should one day make a name for himself as a comedian, his recital of his woes through having to wear the garments “my mother makes for me, bringing down the bouse. Tho whole performance, both action songs and recitations, was gone through hv the children with a confidence and lack of self-consciousness that would have- done credit to older porformcrs. The teacher. Mrs. Fiebig. has earned the warm thanks of tho 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 bv 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 kindly subscribed for the books, the whole of tho takings at the door, amounting to £3 10s., were given by the children to Red Cross and Sandbag Funds. Thiscvcwas augmented by tho proceeds it -of two art unions—Mrs.Coff, jun., a worked cushion cover, and Mrs. Clegg, two d’oyleys, which brought in £1 13s. fid. and £1 12s. respectively. The winners were Mr. Stanley Thompson and Mr. Mul-lenger, of Katanning.An enterprising lady, Mrs. Halterman, 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 ho 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 tho laud and assuming State control of farms, this gentleman at least will be at no loss for a new vocation. Tho usual dance brought an enjoyable evening to a close.I to cli U iv
