Before business commenced at the meeting of the Northland Dairy Conference held in Whangarei yesterday, a vote of sympathy to the relatives of the late Mr J. H. Hayward was carried in the usual manner. 'Tribute to the labours of deceased in connection with the dairy industry were paid by Messrs E. G. Appleton, F. Elliott. L. Reynolds, A. Taylor and E. S.

Hucker, Professor of Bacteriology, Cornell University, who is investi- j gating mammitis control in Now Zea- ! land, is the taking of coloured moving pictures.

The recent lire at the A.F.F.Co’s cooperage, where much joinery used to be turned out, meant a serious check to that company’s actviities in the building line, although three houses built for meat inspectors have been completed and are now occupied. A gang of men has been employed clearing up and dismantling what remained of the cooperage, and the works carpenters are setting about its re-erection. Mr D. Hudspith has recently built a large shelter for his trucks, with rooms attached —in corrugated iron—on a section near Oliria Junction Stores. Mr Tiros. Hawkin is having additions and alterations made to his residence in Pembroke Street. Many other section owners are contemplating building on their sections in the near future. It is hoped that the loan for which the county council is applying to establish a water supply will be forthcoming at an early date, as this is the one stumbling block to residents and intending residents in the western ar*ea.
