MR. LEE MARTIN PAYS OUT HIS £5
[Special To. “Northern Advocate ”] PORT WAIKATO, This Day. Following a statement made by the Hon. W. Lee Martin at Pukekohe in March last year to the effect that he would donate £5 to some charitable institution if the guaranteed price for butterfat produced by the New Zealand Co-operative Dairy Company, Ltd., for the 1936-37 season, did not exceed the price for the previous season by one penny per lb, Mr Martin referred again to his announcement at the Waikato Children’s Camp League camp at Port Waikato yesterday. Mr Martin said he had received advice from the company to the effect that last season’s price fell .short of the penny increase he predicted by about one-tenth of a penny. Although realising that he had lost the prediction by a “short nose,” he was so pleased with the manner in which the Waikato League’s camp was conducted that he selected the league to be the recipient of his £5.
