COPPER TRAIL EVENTS

» ; | Snowstorms greeted the copper trail directors when they visited the Wairarapa yesterday, but this chilling reception was entirely confined to the weather. - The warmest enthusiasm,was shown by copper traii .workers, and at a very representative meeting in Carterton a strong citizens' committee, with the Mayor ami Mr. Sorensen as joint hon. secretaries, was set up to push the Carterton end of the trail in a challenge to , Greytown. |. The Lower Hutt Bowling Club's an- ! nual concert, under Mr. E. J. Hill's direction, is always an attractive event. | Last year the proceeds amounted , to ! £141. For the concert to be held next month the copper trail, by unanimous resolution of the club's committee, will receive the' proceeds.
