Mrs."Lockoart-Smith who married at home in 1931, came to the colony about a year ago, and during that short period she had mace a large circle of trends to whom her death, will come as a great anock,

Fouowing the birth of a son about a month ago, Mrs. Lock- part-Smith has been senously iil.

The Funeral

The funeral took place at the Protestant Cemetery, the Rev. N.V. Harward conducting the service. The chief mourner was the hus- band and among the large gather- ing of relatives and trends pre- sent were Mr. Justice R. E Lind- sell, Hon. Mr. C. G. Alabaster, Mr. J. A. Fraser, Mr. F. H. Loseby, Mr. Leo D'Almada e Castro, Snr., Dr. G. W. Pope, Mr, A. R. Butters, Mr. E. H. Williams, Mr. L. B. Andrewes, Mr. L. H. C. Calthrop, Mr. K. K. Wong, Mr. P. M. Hodgson, Mr. T. C. Beck, Mr. H. K.

Navy Day

How lucky we were to have such glorious day on Saturday! Everybody looked their brightest and best. and the whole show went with a swing from start to finish.

The Club was packed for the morning parade, and the ladies' verandah WES a swirling mass of women and children, It is a pity that the view from those particular windows is the worst of all, for the babies do so love to see everything that is going on- but perhaps we should rather consider ourselves lucky to be allowed to take them at all. I be- Hieve men's clubs are not usually s0 generous, even on occasions such as this.

ENGLAND EXPECTS.

I thought the flag girls in their salior frocks looked quite charm- ing in the mass, and

was dis- appointed that none of them had the energy (or was it the courage?) to follow the model of the Victory, as had been frst intended; but even so, the procession was both interesting and inspiring. It was rather a shock to hear one specta- tor (English, too!) ask what the "little" flaga”... meant. Are we in these days so far from Nelson and his ideals that the signal "England expects... is becoming just a forgotten slogan? "ELEVENSF3"

A large number of floral tributes were sent including those from: "Her Sorrowing Husband," "Mo- ther," "Donald, His Excellency Sir William and Lady Peel, His, Hon- our Mr. and Mrs. Justice J.
