A mural painting at the Linwood High School will be presented to the school on Saturday by Mr D C. Manson. president of the school’s ex-pupils association, on behalf of the association. The mural, which was painted by Mr W A. Sutton. senior lecturer at the School of Fine Arts. University of Canterbury, features New Zealand fauna and flora. It will be a memorial to Mr P L.
