in the past had taken a lively in-

terest in the shows. He was supposed to open the 1950 show' but nad been unable to leave Welling-

ton at the last moment,

Mr Barry congratulated the exe- ; cutive on their fine work and de- > dared the show open. Other, speak- ■ ers were Mr Wilkinson, who men--1 tioned the growth of the Whakatane district and its prosperity as mirrored in the show exhibits, which were a credit to any district, and Mr Johnson In the various competition classes exhibits are, in most cases, better than those of previous years. Judges’ comments were particularly favourable and one said, “If the show is any indication Whakatane ’ and the surrounding districts must ; be richer than most people think.” iProbably the only class not in- ; creased is the field produce. Like -other shows in the North Island exhibits here are few. This was put ; down by the judge to the fact that most farmers today are grass farm'.ers, more than anything else.

■ School exhibits have some very ■good entries while the photographic ;ana painting section has brought ■some outstanding examples of local work. The cooking and sewing sections have been well filled. ! 1 The courts have been attractive;ly laid out and the re-arrangement =is an improvement on last year. The in sewing machines, household electrical appliances, bicycles and farm machinery are prominently displayed. A court by the Whakatane Board Mils is noticeable because of its striking, simplicity.
