SEND OFF TO CORPORAL DOULL.
A gathering of members of Albert Park Pres byterian Church, assembled at Sargents Cafe on Monday evening, to tender a "send off" to Corporal Ronald Doull, of the Expeditionary Force. Mr Turpio, who presided, on behalf of the members presented the guest with a wristlet watch. On Wednesday evening he was presented with a pair of Zeiss field glasses by the employes of the Atlas Engineering Company. In a happy speech, he thanked the company for their kind consideration.
