The latter said Air Burke had been the mainstay of the branch and had always given a good lead to members in its various activities. The good work done by Air H. R. AA r ood as hon. secretary to the Otakeho Farmers’ Union was suitably acknowledged last night- at- the annual social when, in a happy little speech, the president (Air E. T. Burke) handed him a cheque from the -branch. He said that the arrangements made by the secretary for all union, functions during the year were excellent, while his statement of accounts was- most favourably commented upon by the auditor. Air AA’ood had taken up the work from Air Daley, and both had given excellent'service to the- branch.
