MARTON, June 16. The Marton branch of the Plunket Society met this week. Mrs P. J. Sladden was chairwoman. The resignation of Mrs It. 0. Galpin was received with regret. A vote of thanks was passed to Mr A. Mackenzie for the trouble he had taken in _ connection with the new rock border in front, of the rest room building. Nurse Gorrie’s report for May was as follows:—Marton : Visitors to rooms 173, including 15 at the Junction, visits to homes 77, telephone calls 21, casuals 8,. new cases 3. At Bulls, 68 visitors, visits to homes 3. At Rata, visitors to rooms 29, visits paid 3. At Turakina, 21 visitors, visits to homes 9. A class is being taken at the Maori Girls’ College. For many years the Marton A. and P. ball has been one of the social events of the season, and last night’s function was no exception, visitors being present from a wide area. The floor was in good order and the insistent recalls, generously responded to, showed the popularity of the music.' The supper room was artistically decorated by Mrs J. Dick and Miss Mona Brice, with their willing band of helpers ,and they excelled in their colour scheme. The stipper tables were decorated with vases of flowers' by Mrs W. E. Gibbons, which added to the picturesqueness of the scene. The duties of M.C.’s were carried out by Messrs R. J. Moore, P. W. Briant, E. H. Simpson, H. Stewart, H. Coleman and F. McLean. The secretarial duties were in the hands of Mr Arthur Way.
