LOOKING BACK IN TIME The appointment of a registrar in room of Mr Duff, said to be about to resign, will not take place at this time, for the obvious reason that Mr Duff has no intention in the meantime of throwing up a very comfortable post. The wish that he would do so was perhaps father to the thought in the minds of those who had an eye for the job. We understand that all the pupils who attended the classes under Dr Sneddon here have been awarded certificates of proficiency by the St. Andrew’s Ambulance Association, and these this week have been distributed. Dr Sneddon has been presented by members of the Gentlemen’s class, in token of their acknowledgement of his disinterested service in the cause of ambulance work, with a pair of gold eye- glasses and a walking stick. It is stated that he intends opening an advanced class for ladies on sick nursing next winter. The annual soiree of Beith Mission Sunday School was given in the Lesser Templars’ Hall on Friday evening last week. There were over 170 scholars present, a large number of whom received presents of books for good attendance and behaviour. Addresses were given by Rev H Glen, who presided and Rev H F Henderson. Miss Maggie Logan and Mr B Wiggins delivered beautiful recitations, and solos were sung by Miss Jane Baxter and Mr J Logan. A very pleasant evening was spent. On Monday the new cabinet works at Viewfield, Lochwinnoch, lately erected by Mr J Johnstone, were formally opened in presence of a numerous gentlemen. The steam was turned out by Miss Johnstone, and after inspecting the machinery at work the company were entertained to luncheon. The main building has four flats and when fully occupied will give work to 60 men, and a consequent impetus to the prosperity of Lochwinnoch. The builders were Messrs Keanie; joiner, Mr Connell; slater Mr Eadie; engineers Messrs Love & Fyfe, Beith; painter, Mr Howie, Beith.
