KINCUMBER SEND-OFF TO SOLDIERS A very successful function was held in the School of Arts on Saturday last when a send-off was given our local recruits – Messrs V.R. Humphrey, C.H. Frost, S.E. Lansdowne, A.W. Lansdowne, C.W. Lansdowne, and P. Frost. The hall was ap-propriately decorated with flags and palms. Opposite the front door were the words “Our boys” and “For King and Country”, and underneath were hung two rifles, relics of the South Afri-can war, one of which was used by Lieutenant Tom Hum-phreys, who is now in the fighting line at Gallipoli. Prominent among the decorations was the Kincumber Public School flag, made by “our girls”. Supper was served under canvas with Mr J.T. Pryce as chairman, after the toast of the King, Mr M Ward, proposed “our boys”, and presented each recruit with a safety razor outfit, and combination Knife, fork and spoon, and a useful pencil, gifts from the Kincumber residents. The chairman read a letter from an uncle of two of the recruits, re-gretting his inability to attend, but forwarding a wristlet watch and periscope for each of his nephews. Parcels of woolen articles were presented from the Gosford War Relief League. Each recipient briefly responded and thanked the Kincumber people for their appreciated gifts. “The Parents of the Boys” was proposed by Rev. W.H. Herford, the toast being acknowledged by Messrs Jas. Frost and J.C. Lans-downe. Mr W.E. Kirkness proposed “The Absent Soldiers”, to which Messrs T Humphrey and A.E. Fripp responded. This Toast was solemnly followed by another – “The Fallen”. Other toasts proposed were “The Ladies”, “The Chairman”, and “The Visitors”. The rest of the evening was devoted to dancing, mu-sic being supplied by Messrs W. Radcliffe, A.G. & S. Lans-downe. Mr W.G. Humphrey made an efficient M.C. Thanks are due to the committee of ladies consisting of Mrs H. E. Frost, and Misses M. Humphreys and E. Radcliffe, together with their assistants, who were untiring in their efforts to make the evening a success. Mrs J Frost was Secretary- treasurer, and deserves special attention.
