BADSEY ENTERTAINMENT
At the Old Schools a very successful entertainment was given on Wednesday and Thursday week, to raise if possible sufficient money to send each soldier now serving a parcel. Mr.T. H. Knight (the Badsey organist) made all the arrangements and on both nights the room was packed. On Wednesday evening the chair was taken by Mr. C. A. Binyon and on Thursday by Mr. W.W.Blake.

FOR THE “BOYS”
A most successful and enjoyable concert was held on Wednesday week, proceeds towards a fund to send parcels of comforts to the boys gone from the village. The room was crowded, the amount taken being £8 4s. Many thanks are due the ladies and gentlemen who came out from Evesham to help make the concert so successful. The expenses only amounting to 6s 6d, it is hoped soon to despatch a substantial parcel to each one.

A HAPPY THOUGHT
One day last week Mr. D. J. Harris, of 9, Belmont Terrace, Badsey, sent some pots of marrows to Mr. O. Haines, of Smithfield Market, Birmingham. On the top of one of the hampers he put a marrow on which he had written:
“It is the wish of Mr. D. J. Harris, of 9, Belmont Terrace, Badsey, that whoever purchases this marrow will put it up for sale again, and give the proceeds to the nearest local Red Cross Hospital for the benefit of the wounded soldiers lying therein.”
