(From Our Own Correspondent.) At a meeting of the Bangiwahia Horticultural and Industrial Society it ■was disclosed by the secretary, Mr. L. C. Moiklejobn, that the nett profit ot the 1941 patriotic show was something over £7O. This was regarded by the committee as a very creditable effort and the president, Mr. E. L. Jenkins, and the secretary were complimented upon the result. Appreciation was expressed at tho magnificent response of the local people and the support of numerous business houses and firms in I'eilding and Palmerston North. Thanhs* are due to the ladies who undertook the whole of tho catering for the show. Mrs. Caskie’s envelope competition alone netted over £2B for the society and thanks are due to her for this splendid contribution. The local patriotic fund will receive tho whole of these profits, which will form a handsome contribu tion to the total already subscribed by Bangiwahia district.
