BULB SHOW (From Our Own Correspondent). MARTON, Sept. 18. The 28th annual bulb and spring flower show of St. Stephen’s Church was opened by Mr Edward Newman, in the Civic Theatre this afternoon. Referring to the show Mr Newman said that what impressed him most was the splendid spirit shown in producing the beautiful exhibition of flowers. He congratulated those concerned and added that while something like £350 had been raised last year, ho hoped that £SOO would reward the committee’s efforts at the present function. A record number was present this afternoon, and a good crowd assembled in the evening. The usual musical items and playette rendered at past bulb shows were eliminated, small “talkie” films shown by courtesy of Williamson’s, Ltd., taking their place. All the stalls did a brisk business, likewise the supper room, and the honorary secretary (Mr Alan Gibson), reports a satisfactory first-day’s iakugs. Points prizes were won as follow: Decorative, Mrs W. Faulding; amateur, Mr Arthur Brewster, who also won Mr Henry Galpin’s silver vase for the champion bloom; amateur sub-section, Rev. Mr Kendon (Sandon); local growers, Mrs A. Honeyman, along with Mrs Duncan Simpson’s silver challenge cup. Mr Alan Gibson won the points prize in the open class.
