FLOWER SHOW

DISPLAY AT WHAKARONGO. HIGH STANDARD MAINTAINED. I Entries in the flower show held at Whakarongo yesterday by the Women’s Institute maintained the high standard : set in previous years. The number was j in the vicinity of 900, about 60 less than, last year, and a most creditable display was staged. Keen competition was forthcoming in the great majority of the classes. The hall was set out with two stands running its length, with other, displays .around the walls and in front of the stage, and the middle portion, devoted to flowers, made a glorious display of blooms in all their beauty. In the home industries section there were a large number of entries. The show was declared officially open by Miss M. Grant, president of the North Wellington Federation of Women’s Institutes. She was introduced by the president of the Whakarongo Institute (Mrs •E. Johansen) and following Miss Grant’s address Mr J. Hodgens, M.P. for Palmerston North, spoke briefly. For two reasons, said Mr Hodgens,. he was particularly pleased to attend the show. Firstly because it was staged by the Women’s Institute, and secondly because it was the first occasion on which he had visited a function in his official capacity accompanied by Mrs Hodgens, who was able to be about again after her accident. In his boyhood days, and the girlhood days of the women members of the institute, there had been no displays like the one that afternoon. The show was a tribute to the work of the Women’s Institute movement, which had spread to each quarter of the country. The Women’s Institute encouraged service for others, and persons could render service in many ways. It might he in assisting others to grow beautiful roses, in helping to teach handwork, or in exchanging recipes. The Government, too, desired to serve others, and just as the exhibitors might make mistakes, so too might the Government make mistakes. The Government required the confidence of the people, so that if they did make mistakes they might admit them and set to work to remould things again. The secretarial duties of tho show were carried out by Mrs S. Oxenliam in the unavoidable absence of Mrs I. Pye, who was called away only a short time before the show owing to illness in her family.
