In honour of Mother’s Day, members of the Belmont AVomen’s Institute wore white flowers at their recent meeting, and responded to a roll-call of “Mother’s Christian Name.” The competition of “Something white for Mother, costing sixpence” provided many interesting entries, prizes going to a white crochet colku,’ by Mrs. Thompson and a white pique rose by Mrs. Jorgensen. Mrs. Simpson handed over the sum of £5 for the Hutt Valley Princess, Miss Nola Huse, as the result of the recent concert and thanks were extended to the Poneke Maori Choir and Taita AVomen’s Institute choir for their splendid assistance. Members volunteered to pack parcels for the Lady Galway Guild and also to visit the Macarthy Home. A “roving shilling” competition has been inaugurated and it is hoped that at the end of three months the soldiers’ parcels’ fund will benefit considerably. Combined Dance.
