SOCIAL and PERSONAL
A small party of friends gathered
at the residence, at Albany, of Mr.
and Mrs. Barry Keelev on the night
of Tuesday, February 7, to celebrate
the coming of age of Miss Madge
Keeley. The evening was passed very
pleasantly with music and singing,
and a dainty supper was served, at
which the usual toasts were honour
ed.
A pleasant time was spent at the
Parish Hail on Wednesday evening
last, the occasion being a bridge
tourney arranged by the local Toe H
members. The prize winners were
Mr. Roy Dennis and Mrs. T. Pethick.
who scored highest points over five
tables. A dainty supper provided by
the ladies was served at the conclu
sion of an enjoyable evening.
The marriage was solemnised last
Wednesday by the Rev. R. R. Flem
ing, at the Methodist Church, Katan
ning, between Mr. Stan. Holding,
younger son of Mr. John Holding and
the late Mrs. Holding, of Carrolup,
and Miss Alice Hofmann, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Hofmann, of
Ewlyamartup. The wedding break
fast, at which over forty guests were
present, was held at the Parish Hall.
The secretary of the Katanning
Sub-Branch R.S.L., Mr. Stan. How
ard. intimates that Mr D. M. Benson,
Stale secretary of the League, in
company with representatives of the
State executive, will visit Katanning
on Tuesday next, February 21st.
A R.S.L. rally will be held in the
local club-rooms at 8 p.m. sharp, to
which all returned men are invited,
in order to meet the secretary and
"heads" of the League.
One farmer in these districts, at
least, is in doubt whether all the de
predations amongst poultry is the
work of foxes. The other night Mr.
Edwin Tyler, who with his brother,
Mr. George Tyler, hold the old native
settlement at Carrolup, was disturb
ed by a commotion in his poultry
runs. As he had lost a number of
birds recently, he dashed out to as
certain the cause of trouble, to find a
fox in a yard which is completely
fenced with six-foot wire netting.
The fox evaded him and got clear,
so Mr. Tyler set to work to prepare
for a- possible further visit by setting
a trap in the yard. Next day revealed
a huge native cat in the trap, and
since then there has been peace in
the poultry run.
