Entertainment to the workhouse inmates-on Thursday the members of the Headington Brass Band gave an afternoon's entertainment to the inmates of the Headington workhouse, which was very much enjoyed by all present. Fortunately the weather was all that could be desired. In a few well chosen words, Mr Aldern thanked the band for their kindness and their thoughtfulness in providing such an entertainment for the old people, and said he hoped they would soon make another visit. An excellent program was done through in a manner which reflected credit on the band.
